- Comment on Strava closes the gates to sharing fitness data with other apps 2 days ago:
Does this effect showing derived data to other people?
Something like wandrer.earth isn’t really competing, I hope that’s allowed (and doesn’t block any plans they have)
- Comment on Email is still great for DMs if you only use it for talking to individuals, and not to sign up to things 2 days ago:
I mean, your connection to your email provider is encrypted (I hope!) - probably with TLS
Your email provider will communicate with the receivers email server over an encrypted connection (probably TLS again)
Your recipient connects to their provider over a secure connection too!
Yes, your email companies can read it, but that is the case with lots of IM providers too…
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Having one superconstilation up there is fine, my concern is that once there are 2 or 3 of them, the communication between them to avoid each other will become a mess
- Comment on Over £1 billion to boost bus services across the country as bus fares capped at £3. 3 weeks ago:
You could argue that the story is that labour didn’t decide to continue the full discount (and have therefore put up the price) when they could have.
I would prefer more/better services over price, but a lot of others depends on the current price of the existing busses.
- Comment on YSK that United has significantly escalated their war against basic economy passengers 4 weeks ago:
shorthaul or longhaul?
I think its about 50% on Europe to Europe flights
- Comment on Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers 4 weeks ago:
Anyone wanting to put vulnerabilities into Linux is probably capable of not looking like they are in Russia…
- Comment on Why does the PC gaming industry still use such deceptive pricing? 1 month ago:
Yeh, I dislike them, but in situations like this, would probably look at using one.
I avoid the ones where you buy from a user. (Can’t remember which ones I have used, don’t use them often)
- Comment on Why does the PC gaming industry still use such deceptive pricing? 1 month ago:
Can you not get it from a key reseller? As long as your buying it above the minimum sale price it’s probably legit.
- Comment on Samsung Considers Foundry Division Spin-Off as Poor 3 nm Yields Deter Customers 1 month ago:
Just shows how much TSMC is really killing it.
- Comment on Microsoft’s more secure Windows Recall feature can also be uninstalled by users 1 month ago:
…I mean it actually sounds quite good? That’s probably better secured than your password manager which has a very similar risk profile.
… It should have been built like that from the start though! And this relies on Microsoft never watering it down so they can skim user data off the top…
- Comment on Actress Dame Maggie Smith dies at 89 1 month ago:
She was one of the people I mentally considered immortal. She has been ‘old’ my entire life.

I wouldn’t call B1M in depth…
- Comment on Would you consider making a sandwich to be "cooking?" 1 month ago:
Is combining microwave rice and a frozen meal portion cooking then? Or to they have to be heated together?
- Comment on when someone is considered trespassing, are they 'legally trespassing ' or 'illegally trespassing' 2 months ago:
Scotland has “right to roam” legislation though, so there are a lot more places where you are not actually trespassing.
- Comment on All Windows users should immediately update their computers. An exploit rated 9.8/10 (CVE-2024-38063) compromises all devices running Windows with an IPv6 address. 2 months ago:
you can have both addresses at the same time - this site shows both if you have them: whatismyipaddress.com
- Comment on Someday soon (if it hasn't already happened) a book will be published that was written and edited entirely on a phone/table with a touch keyboard. 3 months ago:
It probably happens already with some web-serials
- Comment on NASA official acknowledges internal “disagreement” on safety of Starliner return 3 months ago:
They can come down next February on a dragon
- Comment on AMD may have delayed Ryzen 9000 launch due to a typo — mislabeled Ryzen 7 chip emerges, Ryzen 5 9600X impacted, too [Updated] 3 months ago:
It’s still less conductive than metal. The latest/best CPU coolers have started to ship coolers with cold plates that are shaped to deliberately curve slightly to match how intel/AMD CPUs curve differently
- Comment on AMD may have delayed Ryzen 9000 launch due to a typo — mislabeled Ryzen 7 chip emerges, Ryzen 5 9600X impacted, too [Updated] 3 months ago:
Waiting for the re-drawing of the text on the lid to effect the flatness of the cpu and ruin cooling or something…
Still, a much nicer issue to have than Intel is fighting!
- Comment on ISPs seeking government handouts try to avoid offering low-cost broadband 3 months ago:
Other satellite internet options are available (or will be soonish)
Oneweb is live, although they aim more at ISPs and businesses.
The Amazon one might happen if New Glen ever gets of the ground (although it’s launching on other providers too)
- Comment on ISPs seeking government handouts try to avoid offering low-cost broadband 3 months ago:
It’s way less than the cost of running a fiber line out there though!
So potentially subsidise that instead.
- Comment on Review says puberty blocker curb has not led to suicide rise 3 months ago:
Not knowing about permanent effects still seems better than definite permanent effects 🤷♂️ would help learn about them too
- Comment on Review says puberty blocker curb has not led to suicide rise 3 months ago:
My understanding is that puberty blockers just delay things, letting them work that out without making permanent changes in either direction?
- Comment on Internet Archive forced to remove 500,000 books after publishers’ court win 4 months ago:
They should have poked the bear with a separate legal entity so the obvious resulting legal loss wouldn’t effect their core operations.
I support the idea as long as it’s for dead authors/out of print books, but from what I understand they were just letting people ‘borrow’ anything? That’s just stupid (if idealistic)
- Comment on Let's talk about Prusa Printables contests. It might need some fixing. 5 months ago:
What was the actual issue with the insect hotel one?
Are the winners chosen by prusa or just on public votes?
Either way, I’m not sure that they should have to moderate all the entries, just the ones that win (within reason)
