Hah, oh no, if they (practically) ghosted q3k, then most of us have no chance.

It's even worse than that. Scammers are sending messages through booking.com, so you get a message from the hotel, in your booking.com inbox, with a link to a payment site that just makes a payment to the crooks. The root cause is eith

I've been using F3 to test new SD cards: https://github.com/AltraMayor/f3 I think it does practically the same thing as your method.

Doesn't seem that you can get these for 300 EUR anymore, or am I missing something obvious?

Hey, thanks for the post. I was going to migrate some of my mailboxes to Zoho (ones that mostly receive netflix receipts and junkmail), can you elaborate about lack of unicode support? I can't find anything with a cursory web search.

I don't think that was always the case. Recently I was googling my name and I found out I have bunch of Trello boards for various student projects that I completely forgot about (think "startups" but we've never gotten a

Oh, wow, this is exactly how I dream as well. I could never have expressed this, though! Thank you for that post. I always wonder how "real" do dreams feel for people who dream lucidly, but then I realize that it wouldn't mat

Sometimes, when Slack e-mails me that someone has mentioned me in a channel, and in the e-mail there is content of the message, I have a brief thought of "how do they know-... oh". I'm slowly getting used to e2e provided by v

Regarding (2), there are some MMORPGs that went with this approach, producing hilarious results, obviously - talk about cheat programs allowing players to teleport monsters around etc.

If you mean client performance in general, I never had problems with that, it's just the connection to the server overseas was not that great. I have my own dedicated server in Europe to which I have much faster connection.

Crashplan worked well for me, sometimes I have to restore a file that I overwrite or that ends up being corrupted because of buggy (in-house) software and I never had any problems with that. My main issue is that I went with free plan + my

Can you elaborate how Arq is buggy? I'm considering switching to Arq from Crashplan, because I supply my own storage for it anyway.

I have an invoice generation script that outputs html, and I unfortunately have to open it in Chrome and "print to pdf" manually. If you control styling, you can usually set it to look the way you want. Also browser HTML headers&#

Thank you, I've just realized how... different (to not say "awful"...) it is in US after reading more comments here. To be honest sometimes I'm anxious when my bill ends up some number that's hard to tip from; but i

View on Europe on HN seems to be a little skewed. We have tipping here as well, maybe not to the same extent as in US, but it's definitely present. Even sandwich or coffee places would have "tip jar" where people would drop t

I wonder why this is getting downvotes. There is a lot of insight about the situation in the linked comment.

I'm using CrashPlan and I have recovered multiple files over past couple of years, that I either mistakenly deleted or overwritten. I haven't tried any full-scale restore, yet, though.

They also offer bare metal x86 servers at very affordable prices as well! If anyone needs something like this, try Kimsufi (OVH brand) [1]. Atom based servers for as low as 5 eur/mo. [1] https://www.kimsufi.com/en/

I didn't know about the discounts when paying with CC. A lot of shops here offer discounts when paying with cash. It violates rules of card processing companies - or rather, they would violate them to charge more for card transaction,

In Europe, it's much easier to get debit than credit. You get debit card for any bank account you own, and sometimes it will even be free of charge. Even for accounts in different currency than your local one. Functionally, it's n

Agreed 100%. Is there any browser extension to help with that? I can imagine it might be hard to do because `onscroll` may have legitimate uses. Maybe at least something that would disable known "smooth scrolling" JS libs.

I think you will only need to provide additional verification for PayPal and you'll be good to go. They need to do it because of anti money laundering laws - at least here in Europe, but it's probably similar in US.
