What a bullshit article. This is just Westerners trying to tell other countries they should be offended about stuff that doesn’t bother them. I’ve been near to that Ouarzazate site before and there is nothing for miles and miles around. It’s just a big empty area. It’s not fertile farmland, it’s the desert.

It’s not colonialism, it’s just business, and the Moroccans want it. Sounds like the author thinks African countries will lift themselves out of poverty with handouts.

What kind of image do Volvo drivers have where you live? Here Volvos are just seen as reliable but boring.

Are there sites out there tracking these things? If a company didn’t do this I certainly wouldn’t be noticing.

3 days? UK here, the other day I transferred money to my wife (different bank) while she was handing her card to the cashier at the supermarket. It took about 1 second.

Surely there’s some challenger bank letting you do modern stuff?

It’s been part of VKontakte since 2010. Good riddance I guess.

Loved it back in the day.

Is it an Azure outage? Wouldn’t be the first.

Shit, that’s a real post. The whole account is just talking about how nobody uses TeamSpeak anymore.

Does a VPN used on a smartphone with Wi-Fi disabled (mobile data only enabled) provide any sort of protection?

I've never completely understood this, but I think the answer would probably be "no," although I'm not sure. Usually when I leave the house I turn off wifi and just use mobile data (this is a habit from my pre-VPN days), although I guess I should probably just keep it on since using strange Wi-Fi with a VPN is ok (unless someone...

Your provider will just see encrypted traffic (mostly), so yes it will provide protection.

Debian is the Volvo of Linux distros.

Amazon Prime is absolute dogshit anyway. Fallout wasn’t even that good, I don’t know why it got such a warm reception. Probably because people had such low hopes for it. Rings of Power was a billion dollar investment and only 30% of people finished the whole series.

On DuckDuckGo they’re the second result for “retro handheld news”.

Wtf is Spotify doing?

twinnie ,

Because the features are better. That’s why most FPS comparisons of AMD and Nvidia always turn off the ray tracing.

BBC tracked down the guy behind it and found that he had 17 self-published books on Amazon. According to the reviews they’re total nonsense that’s clearly written by AI.

I wonder how many people haven’t realised that the new Mail/Outlook client, the one they’re pushing everyone towards in Windows, actually syncs all your mail to MS servers.

I’m pretty sure that someone, somewhere inside Nintendo will have a Google Alert setup.

While I like the idea of socialism to an extent, it hardly has an appealing track record.

twinnie ,

Including Tux, they look like they’re from the 90s (probably because they are). I’m glad we don’t see much of the branding mascots anymore, even Tux isn’t really heard of now.

When I set up my Amazon devices there was an option for it to save my WiFi details but I always declined.

There’s loads of evidence linking excessive phone and social media use with mental health issues, and taking phones away is an easy win.

I’d just assumed it was fake.

Raspberry Pi is planning a London IPO, but its CEO expects “no change” in focus (arstechnica.com)

The business arm of Raspberry Pi is preparing to make an initial public offering (IPO) in London. CEO Eben Upton tells Ars that should the IPO happen, it will let Raspberry Pi's not-for-profit side expand by "at least a factor of 2X." And while it's "an understandable thing" that Raspberry Pi enthusiasts could be concerned,...

Any alternatives that aren’t Chinese?

twinnie ,

A lot of this CCTV is just in shops and stuff, not necessarily the government. Not much you can do about that, it’s just culture.

twinnie ,

And now Prime is doing the same, and Disney wants to tackle password sharing. If everyone had just cancelled Netflix when they started this shit we’d be paying $5 per month and we’d be sharing passwords on all of our streaming services.

twinnie ,

Seems like a terrible investment, I can’t see what they can possibly do to add value. Everybody who wants to use Reddit is already on it and anything they do to try and milk it will just lose them users.
