News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

rbrbr

I got regularly sick (cold) after drinking a bit more especially in colder seasons, so I stopped drinking. My health is much better now. I drink alcohol free beer now, almost every day. Yesterday I had a tiny glass of wine (less than 100ml). That was an extreme exception which I do only once in a few months.
Every time I read about grown up men and women believing in a fairytale it makes me realize how far humanity is away from being a grown up self reflected intelligent species. And I have my doubts it will change anytime soon.
Hackers got hacked, does get better than that.

Because those reactors are always build with ignoring the decommission and its costs.
Re:Your Product Sucks: Apple Music on macOS Review on Saturday April 03, 2021 @05:43PM (#26684994)
It is fascinating, just like Microsoft. Both companies have basically infinite resources but they build software that has the quality of cheap low budget third party company products.

I am missing Germany in this diagram, Europe’s strongest economy.
Re:Are Xiaomi browsers spyware? Yes, they are (2020) on Tuesday March 02, 2021 @02:25AM (#26312734)
And so is Google Chrome. Basically everything Android. Just don’t use that platform if you care about your privacy. And stop pretending just because millions use it or because it is supposedly more customizable. Google is Google.
Re:Creative Driving Game Website on Monday March 01, 2021 @05:14PM (#26309182)
The main issue with this games controls apart from the usual touch screen key sloppiness is that left and right changes with the cars orientation. This is an absolute no go and makes it a chore to control. Games 35 years ago already figured this out.

Such unregulated ridiculous systems remain only in second and third world countries. The US being in the former category.
Title announces video. Page does contain a pdf with tiny pixelated images of it. Are we back in 1990 or what is this rubbish?
Fact: Vitamin D deficiency leads to a weakened immune system which is partially attributing to a higher level of infectious diseases during low sun winter seasons in affected countries.

Fact: a strong immune system reduces the chance of contracting COVID-19.

End of story.

Pretty much what I am expecting from Windows based software considering the mess windows always was and is to this day.
Isn’t a much easier way to look around our planet and search for satellites of past civilizations? Or even on the moon where everything lasts much longer. Long after we and everything of us is gone from this planet moon vehicles and other devices which were left there will likely still be there unless a meteorite hit them.
Where can this recording being downloaded?
Re:Is Dark Mode Such a Good Idea? on Friday June 12, 2020 @05:34AM (#23497541)
If I am sitting in the dark the contest of a white screen to the light in the room caused much more eye strain than that of a dark mode screen. Not sure how the article missed that for me most relevant fact. This is why Apple has a daytime dependent dark/light mode auto switch.
Re:Paris syndrome on Saturday January 11, 2020 @07:00PM (#22023354)
Who can blame them. Apart from the very center of Paris (that makes up maybe 10% of the city) with the old town and museums and cafes Paris is a very ugly city.

There won’t be a successor.
Re:A Cheating Scandal Rocking the Poker World on Saturday October 05, 2019 @05:02AM (#21164495)
Don’t read the article, it lacks any factual evidence. It’s like a book without an end, where the murder hasn’t been found yet (if there was any).
Re:Bring Back the SE on Tuesday September 10, 2019 @06:53PM (#20934728)
And don’t forget that a new iPhone with the size of an SE but design of the X would have a display size of around the iPhone 6/7/8 and make those phones entirely obsolete yet being smaller.
Re:American Phrase Book on Tuesday September 10, 2019 @03:17AM (#20925816)
Where is all this suppressed behavior coming from and what does it tell you about the country? Language is the key to the psyche of a person.
That shows how shitty all previous versions where.
Re:Denmark Offers to Buy U.S. on Sunday August 25, 2019 @02:39AM (#20791686)
I didn't find it satirical at all.
Where are the pictures / videos?
That’s all so ridiculous. I mean people buying those cars know what they are buying in to. I would never support such practices.

I do understand if an engine is throttled to increase its life time. Apple does it with the cpus in their computers. But just omitting a feature for the sake of selling it additionally is a ridiculous business practice nobody should support.

Re:Sony to slash smartphone workforce on Saturday March 30, 2019 @07:23PM (#19532611)
I know it’s not gonna happen, but it would be great if Sony would develope their own phone OS from scratch again. In a parallel universe Sony is the third big OS developer next to Apple and Microsoft. Of all the smart phone manufacturers i found it always strange how Sony decided to go third party, and imagined them to be the most likely company to develope their own mobile OS.
Re:Reasons Not to Use Apple (2018) on Saturday March 16, 2019 @07:52AM (#19407355)
I would like to see the same details about google / android and microsoft / windows from the author of this comprehensive list. And his conclusion what to use as an OS considering all.
