Highly recommend Technology Connections for anyone interested in easy to understand, relatable breakdown videos of technology.

Title could use a comma (and remove the apostrophe). It currently reads that 9 out of 10 children were killed, not 9 doctors AND 10 children.

Edit: Looks like the summary is wrong, and the title is correct

It’s because all three are part of the Commonwealth.

My advice: Practice going over other people’s code with a fine-tooth comb looking for bad architecture, flaws and inefficiencies.

I agree. Funny story, I wasn’t allowed to do code reviews at my current job for about 2 years because they thought my comb was too fine. Suddenly software quality is something they are really valuing and they’re allowing me to do code reviews again. Funny, that.

As a developer, I literally laughed hard enough to choke a little.

Is it because *gestures broadly in liberal American*?

As a US citizen, I can’t get over how envious I am of your EU citizenship.

Why would you consider this world news?

In all seriousness, I highly recommend that style of peeler. It’s fantastic. I have an all-metal one.

Based off the headline alone, I thought we were talking about an offensive military strike.

It uses AI to rearrange and resize content when you are printing from the internet. The example is pretty compelling, but doesn’t make up for everything else HP does.

I’m honestly wondering who you’re responding to with this. Of course the vulnerabilities are software. Why would they be hardware? OP talked about how he couldn’t update the software to allow him to access an app he wanted to use. They’re on iOS, and you’re talking about Android. Do you think developers don’t debug their software at all? 99.99% of devs aren’t intentionally creating vulnerabilities in their software. We’re not talking about web development?

Solid link, thanks for sharing!

Just because the phone companies should be doing that doesn’t mean that you don’t account for what the current case is. My personal laptop is over a decade old, and my phone is several years old too. I am absolutely a supporter of using your old devices as long as they’re still useful, but when you start to become vulnerable to security issues on a device you use consistently everyday, you need to fix that, whatever the solution may be.

I applaud you for using your iPhone 7 for so long, but seriously, it’s time to upgrade. I’m amazed you haven’t run into issues before now, and continuing to use devices that are so old opens you up to security flaws. You can get one that is a few years old for cheap, It will be able to access everything modern, and last you another several years.

As I understand it, it’s not Twitter, but on TV. It’s a new service that is supposed to rival YouTube. As much as I would like to see that happen, fuck Elon. I hope it fails and costs him billions.

Florida Man would like a word with you.

This is really the key. We’re all stupid and unaware of how things work and the particular goings-ons when we’re kids. There were plenty of shitty people running the tech giant companies back then, but we just didn’t realize the extent of what was happening.

Edit: The evolution of social media also adds a lot to this. We are both more connected to each other and society, and therefore more aware of BS think it’s pulled by corporations. Then, of course, you have folks like Elon Musk who seem to make a point of making sure everyone knows how big of a piece of shit they are, and how proud of it they are.

Can we get a copy/paste of the email here?

What are we, paying by the laser now?
