chrisper··on Fake review factories that run on Facebook and post five-star Amazon reviews
I remember the daily deals used to be all useful products. Now I just feel like I am browsing some Chinese market.
chrisper··on Ask HN: Founders, what is the worst experience you had with developers?
I can't tell if there is a comma missing or you really mean that noone is terrible?
chrisper··on Microsoft’s problem isn’t how often it updates Windows, it’s how it develops it
Are you attaching to the kernel?
chrisper··on Microsoft’s problem isn’t how often it updates Windows, it’s how it develops it
There aren't anymore. They are using cumulative updates now
chrisper··on Microsoft’s problem isn’t how often it updates Windows, it’s how it develops it
They sped up the Windows update part in build 1803. It's also in server 2019 now.
chrisper··on Bahnhof’s 10 Gbit/s router for home use – the fastest on the market
The true "TH" Of FTTH is usually not shared. At least in my country it isn't.
chrisper··on Bahnhof’s 10 Gbit/s router for home use – the fastest on the market
It's not true 10Gbit. It's only 10Gbit to some pole and then it is shared.

Besides their customer service is horrendous.

chrisper··on Helm: Personal Email Server
Also only 1 year warranty
chrisper··on Ask HN: Should I fight back management enforcing Jira?
Can't you use something like trello? (I think they got bought by Atlassian recently, so I don't know how long they will be around)
chrisper··on Backblaze Drive Stats: 2018 Q3 Hard Drive Failure Rates
Any plans on the European Datacenter?
chrisper··on HDMI Light V2: Open-Hardware FPGA-Based Clone of Philips Ambilight (2014)
Ambilight is nice because it allows you to play / watch in a dark room. In my case at least, I don't get eye fatigue as it lights up the room enough to be comfortable.
chrisper··on Hetzner DIY Private Networking with Tinc
Where do you approve them?
chrisper··on Hetzner DIY Private Networking with Tinc
Zerotier doesn't do PFS Perfect Forward Secrecy... and somehow it is too easy to add new clients to the network without you noticing.
chrisper··on New Google Pixel 3, Pixel Slate, and Home Hub
You will miss the openess of Android. I tried a couple of times going back to an iPhone, but always ended up selling it after 6 months.

For example, iOS doesn't let you change default apps (e.g. browser). Also their third party keyboard integration is not so great.

chrisper··on Ask HN: Cheap places to live with a good intellectual atmosphere?
It's the same in Switzerland. There is just almost no way to be able to afford a house (or just an apartment), because most of them start at 1 million and I am not even talking about apartments in Zurich.
chrisper··on Ask HN: Cheap places to live with a good intellectual atmosphere?
I heard that the taxes are quite high in Canada and so is the cost of living.

Can you shed some light on this?

chrisper··on Ask HN: Cheap places to live with a good intellectual atmosphere?
Salaries are quite high though.
chrisper··on How to delete Facebook and not lose your friends and photos
I stopped using Facebook by deleting the app and only using the messenger app and messenger.com
chrisper··on Microsoft suspends Windows 10 update, citing data loss reports
The sad thing is that this bug has been reported during the insider betas. But people didn't upvote it so Microsoft never saw them.

chrisper··on Ask HN: How reliable are Glassdoor reviews?
As always with reviews: The more negative the experience, the higher the chance someone will post a review. So I usually ignore the 1 star reviews and go more for the 3 star reviews etc.

But really, just read the review rather than looking at the rating. Even then keep in mind that most happy people don't post reviews online (unless it's really good).

chrisper··on GitHub and Jira Software Integration
It's probably implied that Trello one day will become Jira...
chrisper··on Opera Touch is a solid alternative to Safari on the iPhone
Exactly. If I were in China I'd not use Chinese Spy phones.... but thanks for the bubbles!
chrisper··on Hetzner removes traffic limitation for dedicated servers
Looks like you are right. I must have mixed up something I read recently.
chrisper··on Hetzner removes traffic limitation for dedicated servers
You can't saturate 1 Gbit up and down at the same time. It would be either 1 Gbit up or down, or 500 Mbit both.
chrisper··on Hetzner removes traffic limitation for dedicated servers
Because discount implies inexpensive.
chrisper··on Opera Touch is a solid alternative to Safari on the iPhone
What's the alternative? American spy phones?

I'd be more afraid of the American government than the Chinese one.

chrisper··on New Zealand travellers refusing digital search now face $5k Customs fine
Maybe I used the wrong words. I am not a lawyer, so I don't know the exact name of it. But I know using special configs to hide stuff from a federal agent is the same as lying to them which is a felony, I think. Not sure if it is the same in Canada though.
chrisper··on New Zealand travellers refusing digital search now face $5k Customs fine
It's probably obstruction of Justice.
chrisper··on LoJax: First UEFI rootkit found in the wild, courtesy of the Sednit group
I thought Windows Defender detection is abysmal? Not the case anymore?
chrisper··on Found hooked up to my router
I still wouldn't use a public wifi without a VPN...
