Pornhub has banned many videos already. It forbids and deletes any amateur video not posted by the original author (to prevent revenge porn, non-consensual porn, repost of videos since deleted by the author, etc.) and also forbids certain

This sounds to me like an gigantic amount of money. I looked it up and apparently it was $136B in 2019¹ and $111B today². And Microsoft, although it is the company with the most cash on hand, is not an outlier here with Alphabet at $121B

I had an anti-corruption mandatory course in a previous job in the naval industry. They talked about drugs hidden in refrigerated containers: they swapped the insulation material of the containers with cocaine. Apparently the goods in the

I'm baffled by how good minetest is now. Don't get me wrong they don't have feature parity with minecraft and likely never will. But the fact that they built the game as a voxel engine where people can add mods on top of it

I don't know the spread of this movement but it does exist. For example, the national electric company deployed a new generation of electric meter (Linky) which can communicate data to your supplier using PLC. This communication of c

Contrary to iron, silver or gold, aluminium has to be chemically extracted. The mineral you extract aluminium from is bauxite. This chemical process was mastered so recently that the Washington Monument is tipped with it just to show off.

The lowtech magazine published this number¹: > Scientists have calculated the lifetime carbon emissions of a steel bike at 35 kg CO2, compared to 212 kg CO2 for an aluminum bicycle. [1] https://www.lowtechmagazine.com/202

You are right I was comparing buying over the internet and talking to someone, but if I have the choice to talk to someone in person versus over the phone, I would prefer in person 100%. For the video the other person posted, the DELL exper

I think it is fair to test the ability of a large manufacturer to sell computer through the phone. Many people do not know what they need to accomplish their work so asking the seller to sell them an appropriate product is not outlandish.

I think it is because Linux users tend to be more familiar with their software than users of other OSes. They chose it and they configured them, sometimes for hours. Also they may have bent software to their liking and when you change some

I think your theory is correct. Back when messages where not checksummed, the French Navy used to do exactly this and sent abbreviations three times in a row. I'm quite certain that the French Navy was not the only one to do this sin

Yes, the article says that half of the people resuscitated by CPR wished it didn't happen. The linked paper explicitly says this figure is valid for in-hospital administered CPR, so definitely people belonging to group 2.

That last part scared me! I tend to have ADB debug over USB always enabled on my phone but I'm not in any way enabling debug over wifi now I know this.

I have a cheap laptop with a broken case and a flaky screen. Repurposing it as a desktop pc with a small case like this would be really nice.

Yep, once met an hydraulic engineer who thought his wife could find leakages through magnetic fields while looking at a map of a power dam.

Although I admit it is a niche, retro computing web pages can be found unencrypted to allow access to ancient computers incapable of performing TLS computations.

How can I check if a connection is TLS or STARTTLS?

Isn't 465 safer since 587 uses STARTTLS and STARTTLS can be downgraded?

It depends on ship type. For example methane carriers are expected to hit 40 years of lifetime while some low-end bulk carriers are scrapped after only 15 years.

Yes they are a thing but it can cost something like 1€ to actually use it. Although online-only banks now offer it for free.

I don't know if that's what you're talking about but you can sue your lawyer for professional negligence if they didn't do their job properly.
