I also think this is a US thing. In other countries a ring without diamond is also normal. And I guess most people could not even distinct a diamond from polished glass.

I think an onload limit is much more useful than file size. A 700kB JavaScript page can take up to 10 sec. to render on older mobile devices. And a 500kB image can contain megapixels which will slow down non-PGU browsers. Personally I alway

It is strange. I noticed all the ads lately, sometimes even 2 in a row. But thinking about it I can't remember a single ad. Today more and more people have an ad filter in their head. This means that Google earns a lot of money from ad

"...and pretty much have their entire business on there..." This is what I don't get about YouTubers. They created a business with basically only one source of income. This is bad practice in every business book. I am a fr

There are already 2 known virus mutations: G614 and D514. In Italy new research suggests even a 3rd mutation might go around. And Denmark also had a mutation. Do those vaccines work on all mutations or are they like the common flu vaccines

I seriously consider going away from Android (Google). Is Linux a viable option as mobile OS? I've got a feeling that it is almost as a 'dumb' phone. You got your calculator and SMS app but that's about it. Or would goin

Imho Mercurial is much easier than Git. I have seen team members who lost data with Git but never with Mercurial. I still miss Mercurial. Unfortunately most people moved to Git so I also moved to it.

Privacy is the control to choose what kind of things about yourself you would like to expose. If that control is gone there is no privacy.

If so many people are confused by this, aren't VPN settings per app not insecure by default? It looks like a lot of people are under the assumption that enabling VPN means system wide.

Maybe the Dutch website is different but I think it is one of the worst webshops I've been on. When you search for a product you end up in a flood of pages with half related products. No filters, nothing. So I never find what I am look

Visuals is a very broad term. As you can read in my comment I agree with you. For example working with text in Gimp is just horrible. And Inkscape is very good untill you need it for CMYK. But this thread is about owning your PC. And then I

And I just read on Wikipedia the fastest speed ever recorded was 396.86 km/h. And the fastest average horizontal speed over 1000m: 325.4 km/h. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wingsuit_flying

Are you sure? Those small EDFs can generate 12-25kg of thrust. The fastest wingsuit flight almost topped 400km/h so maybe the real question is how much extra speed was gained with those little EDFs.

I really wanted to use Sailfish as Android alternative. But after reading reviews I think it is just not ready and will not be an alternative to Android and iOS any time soon. There are just too many bugs. Linux for mobile is also not an al

You can at the cost of some light bounces. Most modern render engines render rays from the camera into the scene. This speeds up rendering a lot but also means rendering caustics will need a huge amount of samples because the probability of

In the Netherlands we grow a lot of bell peppers on 'water'. Those sweet pepers are much larger than the ones grown on soal. But the only difference is the taste and the thickness of the skin. They might even be a little more heal

Well not from the firewall because it was highly trusted software. With the firewall there were also no problems. It was just that there were some holes in Windows that were exploited by bots.

Selecting (reading) data is very fast most of the time. So if no token matches I don't think this will result in a DOS.

It is amazing how fast and effective those bots are. I remember one time I installed Windows 95/98. I wanted the PC to be on internet but did not have a firewall for Windows. But I knew the internet address where I could get one. So af

It is true that hardware became very fast. But is also amazing raytrace algorithms improved over time. So both hardware and software make real-time raytracing possible. A very nice 'guide' for papers that make software improvement
