The killer feature missing from all those is group video chat. This is what Messenger offers and why I will never be able to move my family away from it unless there is an equally smooth alternative.

This seems the same story as Incredible Burger: take an existing alternative, jiggle the pieces a bit and invest a few million in marketing and celebrity endorsements. A silicon valley high tech story underlying the whole thing... Combining

What a nonsensical article. Such power of courts already exists, but it mostly boils down to US law as most of the platforms are in the US. Think about the debates on photos of breastfeeding, a fully natural act that happens to show a part

I've gone for an OKI office machine (MC532) for around 220€. Its a color laser printer and also exists with a scanner version. I have some issues with Linux printing via USB but via network all works great. When i, a humble mortal cons

Ubuntu with chrome and chromium tends to work fine, except for a bunch of copyright blocked Netflix shows.

They are doing so certainly across Asia, their methods are just a bit different and it's usually focused on ethnic Chinese dissidents. https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/03/29/the-disappeared-china-r...

As a European I prefer having Erikson and Nokia build our networks than unaccountable Chinese companies. 5G is a unique chance to get some tech sovereignty back as the two leaders (outside of state-supportrd Huawei and ZTE) are European.

Part of the Snowden revelations was that the German BND was also granting this access. The NSA sent so many keywords that the BND basically stopped checking, and looking at it in an investigative committee of the german parliament they foun

The press release only talks about the methods, not the actual implications. To say everyone was surprised is also a bit odd as obviously some imagery was already accessible and you can see green spots on your typical maps app. And people a

But the data collection comes with safeguards to accesing the data. You need a court order to request it. This is not state ordered mass surveillance but rather gives police a right to monitor when they have a court order.

No it gives the authorities the right to tap phones by e.g using 0 days.

It's not about mass surveillance, it's about court-ordered surveillance of individual suspected criminals. As someone said in another thread, it's like a wiretap.

I think by trying to find evil in their scheme you miss the pretty obvious business logic: - IKEA will only accept things in decent-ish condition and will (if necessary) refurbish and resell them. - you get a voucher, not cash So an assumpt

But often you're not missing meaning but simply context. Shakespeare is not hard per se due to the language but because its based in a world that is alien to you.

by nelaboras 6y ago
All valid criticisms but especially the accusative critique misses that the language has unique features, such as the possibility to change word order pretty much freely, so you can stress different parts of the sentence. I am actively lear

Now that the UK has left you can assume that the main working language of the institutions is Irish English, with the Irish parts rarely used.

This goes both ways. Writers clearly set things up that way in the hope this will put pressure for more episodes, but cliffhangers are just really bad writing done against rather than for the plot. Hopefully cliffhangers die thanks to strea

I like that Netflix has a few 'limited series'. 8-10 episodes and the plot is complete. Great! There was one about an amazon murder/tribes/... Thing for which this just works perfectly. More story than a movie, no cliffh

It has the DDG logo at the top and speaks in "we" about DDG, not sure why it needs to be any more obvious.

I think its only bing, not Google. That said, both bing and ddg tend to give me similarly disappointing results. They just seem focused on the US and searching in any other country in English, or even dare to use another language the result

Or do it like a normal human: fill the sink with hot water and a tiny bit of detergent, wash glasses and less greasy things first and for later dirty items (e.g. frying pan) rinse them off at the end. If you're doing a big load and the

They certainly are going the right direction but manufacturers will always find a way to cheat. E.g. my Samsung washer (never again!) has an eco mode that runs 4 1/2h. No idea what it's doing during that time, but I guess it maxim

New Sony Xperia 10 ii phone came for us with ads in the notification area, stemming from some pre-installed news app. Not to mention Spotify, Facebook, etc being preinstalled. Easy fux but really disappointing, next phone will be Fairphone

It's pretty clear this is a huge witchhunt. I wouldn't side with assange as some of the stuff he has done is questionable, but this whole nonsensical effort to extradite him has a singular target: to scare off future leakers. Same

Sorry but do you have a citation on that? Never seen anything like that in Europe.

The sentiments here seem to be generally "Why launch anything at all" or "Stop killing things". I think there's a middle ground that google doesn't seem to see: if there are passionate people involved, why not
