Do they? I mean, logging in is one thing, but transferring? I believe the hacked account owner can just get their funds back, and PayPal is very trigger happy at freezing accounts (especially new or idle) that get a large (a few hundred or

You don't even need the dark web these days haha I bought an expensive T-shirt a long time ago from a rather legit looking apparel company (nice website, LTD company/bank account). Learned the right words on Reddit, hit up Instagr

I'm fucking tired of filtering everyone individually. 3 people from an ethnicity/nationality fuck me over - all of them are shit unless whitelisted.

Well, add Cargofone to the list. The one I remember, though I can't for the life of me remember it's name, was operating around Benelux, mostly Belgium, France and Netherlands. The truckers I knew mostly used it to find nearby mat

It is if deep down he knows the Internet has fucked him. Maybe he looks back and thinks about all of that colossal waste of time he wanted to use for something else. And then he gets into the games and on Reddit and forgets everything. It&#

I've wanted something to completely, uncompromisingly block all Internet and software time wasters for a long time. I.e. quit cold turkey, once and for all. Short of an UEFI-implemented solution (which itself would create problems like

I don't know why you think they want trains, but they're likely to move to self-driving trucks, just like Uber.

"We don’t think there are any other companies that have taken the same approach" I distinctly remember a service/app with the same purpose in Europe in 2013. There's Cargomatic and mentioned by mkoryak, OpenMile. And p

He is right though. Couple that with the dwindling supply of food in developing countries, and there is a huge problem coming our way.

Interesting, thanks! I was going to ask who buys them but they I remembered my neighbors don't even have a computer. Just smartphones and tablets...

Could you, I don't know, require a license on high power handheld lasers? I see imbeciles shining what looks like 100+ mW laser pens (very cheap, very easy to get) on people. Now, I don't like laws banning stuff, but these handhel

Honestly, it just looks like price gouging. You can get a 40 inch LG IPS 4K TV for half the price. And this Dell isn't even 10 bit IPS, which is what monitors for professional graphics use, it's the standard 8bit IPS, very likely

I'm assuming you're downvoted because it's not relevant. But I agree with the landownership problem, it has caused a lot of trouble not only in the UK, but in multiple countries and it's never going to stop.

RAM is like what, $10 per GB? I'm assuming they use the exact same motherboard across all models. This is never about the end user price, just profits. I really wonder how many low end models some companies actually produce - I've

Well, d'uh. Pay me a livable wage and I'll do rounds around a forest and shoot any trespassers. It's already in my blood :D

So you're going with some open source ARM design then? Because Intel's ME/AMT sure as hell isn't any better.

Yeah I give it ~40 years. Things are highly likely to normalize by then either way, whether England is an irrelevant island or a global leader in something. If you got 40 years to give away to some assholes who don't care about you, be

That's interesting, just in my experience, Germans are way more likely to speak English than the French, even if they know it. I always thought it was their pride or something heh. Learning either is a daunting task...

Raspberry Pi's are the second thing that comes to mind. ARM is owned by SoftBank, for what it's worth.

They'll get it, eventually. I gotta ask the opposite, why does the UK want such an FTA so much ? Could it be, gasp , that they realized they're actually fucked without one?

Yes, I just can't see how the UK will rise up and "become great again". That's my problem, all I see is an ex-empire clinging to the past. The history is lovely, the Royal Navy was unmatched for a while - nothing lasts f

Man, Frankfurt is awesome. So is Munchen and Koln. I'm a bit partial to the latter (actually to the whole of NRW, sorry :P) but that's just me :D. Looking forward to moving somewhere in Germany next year.

Just think how annoying it would be if Italy kept going on about being the Roman Empire. I'm tired of all the "England this, England that". Yes, there's an amazing history, but you can't repeat it. Look at the world

Well, I dunno, just a decade ago most people in Eastern Europe weren't using credit cards and loans. These days, everyone does, they were "enlightened". Maybe banks profit on developing countries and it makes sense to stay wh

Just stop with the history. Just fucking stop. England isn't a global superpower, it doesn't have colonies, it doesn't have the population to compete with superpowers, its overseas territories are a money drain, and there&#x2

No matter how you look at it, the UK loses. And most people don't give a fuck, they think Brexit is over.
