"What's a computer?"

2FA is now mandatory in the EU with recent banking regulations (PSD2)

North Focals are technologically far ahead with the projection display

I'm thinking running some legacy Windows applications in an embedded setting, like cash registers or kiosks.

Well, Norway is already one of the most expensive countries in the world, second only to Switzerland.

It will definitely be very chunky if they fit 2 MPCI modules on there

And the logomark is almost identical to Apple News.

For extra context, the author of the quoted tweet wrote this blogpost a few days ago: https://idlewords.com/2019/08/a_walk_in_hong_kong.htm

That makes my procrastination so efficient you can't even call it procrastinating

The company is called Argus, which is very similar to Angus. I guess that could explain the relation to beef

Here's the original source, it's not linked directly in the article: https://www.pentestpartners.com/security-blog/reverse-engine...

One of their sister companies actually sells healing crystals: https://arkcrystals.com/

I think this would be an interesting concept even in 1-1 communication. Instant messaging is too fast, we don't think before we send. I think adding a 1 minute delay between all messages would lead to much higher quality conversation

That's what they do for car navigation, but they use a proprietary system called Mapcodes instead of just GPS. Some sat-navs there won't even let you input GPS coordinates and you have to convert them to this first.

Delivery drones are definitely unnecessary in densely populated areas. It's cool and futuristic, but it's not economical at all, it's very unsafe and also loud. However it's a wonderful thing for rural places with poor infrastructure. For example Zipline in Rwanda, one of the most interesting solutions an engineering perspective too: https://youtube.com/watch?v=jEbRVNxL44c

Calling it a Dropbox replacement is inaccurate, it is a decentralised file synchronization system. A Dropbox replacement would be Nextcloud

It's not really just about size, not many people want to pay $1000 for a smartphone, when you can get nearly all the features for half or thrid that price. I guess analyzing this data for Android would yield better results about size preference.

I just tried the Beaker browser and their own main site is currently unaccessible through it.

While this is pretty cool, it's quite impractical. You could just poll their HTTP API for the currently playing song and compare the playtime. Plus this would work for any client, even mobile devices.

Why is it called Zanzibar though? I'm kind of intrigued

On groups.google.com nonetheless

I checked the source of the page and there is a state object from Nuxt.js SSR. It says "totalBids:0"

My estimate is about $1.5 a month, so definitely less than a full VPS, but it depends on the traffic and how much data you store.

Wouldn't it be better just to put it up on Github Pages? It could have all the same functionality as a PWA.

That way anyone could use it instantly, instead of having to download this massive Electron app.

Unfortunately installing a custom ROM voids Google's SafetyNet, which stops many important apps from working, like Google Pay, Netlix, Snapchat and a ton of banking apps.

Before this was a thing I used a custom ROM on every device, but now it's quite difficult.

There's a new game like that coming soon: Hytale. It's from the team behind Hypixel, which is one of the biggest Minecraft servers.

The Bird Service center would be actually extremely useful. I bought a Xiaomi M365 (which is what Bird initially used) and dealing with tire punctures is really difficult. The first time I changed the tube, it took me a week to finish it. The bolts on the holding wheel are extremely tight from the factory and tire is such a tight fit too, I broke and bent multiple tire levers trying to get it on. I tried bringing it a couple local bike shops, but none of them would look at it.

This is quite dishonest, they make it seem like they develop the apps themselves. But they don't and they give no credit to the actual original apps.

Librem Chat = Riot.im

Librem Social = Mastodon (specifically the Tusky app)

Librem Mail = K9 Mail

Librem Tunnel = OpenVPN

I think that Git submodules are to blame. I think that the idea is great, but the implementation is cumbersome. If they were better to use it would solve a lot of these problems.
