I would not have thought the improvements would have been that significant (I'm old and ignorant). HeSP is dependent on the cpu? (article noting intel gen 11 and amd ryzen 3 are needed) and ASLR still being implemented on Win7 with ht

Genuinely interested, why would Win7 be worse than Win10 if you had the same network setup, same browser (same extensions) and behaved the same as you do with Win10? I ask as even at home, my different devices all use the same browser/

so true, I ended up going a "dumb phone" for my day to day and have just started to tell people I only check email from work. I think it confused more than pissed anyone off. I tried to have back my work phone but still need to ta

this feels like it should be opt-in and not opt-out we have communal low bandwidth wifi in my area following openwireless.org ideals. That requires trust from both parties. This is trust I couldn't have in Amazon/FB/Google to

I like this as an option. When i did engage initially with Twitter, I found tweetdelete useful in culling tweets that were over 14 days old and nukereddit was useful in cleaning up the same. Having nuked/deleted/closed all my acco

TLDR: a tale of over consumption and greed and eventually theft. I grew up poor. I am comfortable now. We never lived in famine/feast mode (which writer clearly refers to and embodies). We all fought against wastage or excess. The writ

"What if marketers can build an infinite shithole of ads inside the virtual world instead of the physical? Wait, hold on a second..." this makes me glad for add blockers, VPNs, TOR, Canvas manipulators, piholes, and such. Sitting

thank you, im looking at my old netbook which i still use from time to time and wondering how i can maybe lessen it's usefulness while making it more aesthetically interesting. I was thinking e-ink and mechanical keys with a lightweigh

the idea of a plain old html internet makes me weak at the knees in the right kind of way. I love the thought of scrolling and the overall speed of a site that is as close to plain text as possible. We might be in the minority now, but the

I feel this too, almost daily. the "need" for web browsers to provide more than just the data I want to find/read frustrates me. I have no issues with reasonably placed adverts for content that is relevant. the performance o

We have a kerbside collection 2 times a year for "large rubbish" removal by the local council. You could mistake it for a street festival at times as you see people walking down the road with what they find of use/value and p

I'm not sure if the real issue there was the foster and medical system in America 30 years or so ago or the sheltered workshop. Each sheltered workshop (Australian Disability Enterprises) I have volunteered with or worked with has been

this is exactly it. sheltered workplaces exist purely to provide a sense of community and actual value to people with disabilities lives. While some of us begrudge working the 9-5, there are a lot of people excluded from the societal norm o

I am also against a throwaway society but there comes a point where you need to accept old computers/vehicles/toys/instruments/tools are beyond your ability to maintain/use them. If you want to fork over some money
