kolla··on Pixel 11 doesn't yet meet the GrapheneOS security standards and may be skipped
So just use it until the motherboard dies, why switch before it dies?
kolla··on The darker side of being a doctor
It does not require more than your standard 8-17. Know tons of doctors that work the same hours as I do and spend their free time the way I do.
kolla··on Starlink is currently experiencing a service outage
UK has about 70% fiber coverage. Sweden has 97% network gigabit-capable coverage and we have way lower population density.

Renewing cards, don't they just send you a new one in the mail when the old one expires?
kolla··on The cold hard truth about electric vehicles in winter
ICE veichles will start even if it is cold, I live in the far north of Sweden and we often have -30C and the cars start with no problems even if you dont have a heater in it.

This EV test however is barely in cold weather, it gets a lot worse when it's cold.

kolla··on Scientist busts myths about how humans burn calories
Swedish speed skater Nils Van Der Poel drinks cream and eats crisps, LOTS of it, while training just to get enough calories in his body to continue training so number 1 is faulty.
kolla··on Show HN: Open-core icon sets that took me 12 years to create
I don't think the author understands what open source is.
kolla··on How to know if you’re addicted
Same here, I'm probably considered an alcoholic because of the ammount of liquour I drink per week/month but I can work out every single day and stay in great shape but come friday and saturday I do empty quite a few units. Stopping the weekend urge is hard.
kolla··on How fresh grads with zero experience get hired as senior engineers
When I read "senior" I often interpret it as "has a lot of experience" which has nothing to do with skill. Speaking for myself who has a shit ton of experience in a lot of tools, techniques, languages and so on but is SHIT in most of them. I'd be hired before a lot of better candidates based on my years of experience in the area but not because of my skill in the area.

I think if anything in that machine snaps it would rip right through his body.

kolla··on The FBI's internal guide for getting data from AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon
I've used such an app myself on my work environments and if anyone ever questioned what I did a certain day I could always go back and look.

Very helpful when filling out the time report if you are reporting time on many different customers.

If a company force installed it on your PC it is probably not a good place to work at.

kolla··on Being spied on by the makers of Pegasus, then lured them into a trap
Surfing the net without javascript is the most foilhat thing I've read today.
