You can so hear the echos of a satellite engineer doing his job for 40 years quietly without supervision. Can see him issuing his command secretly because he knows doing it officially would take too long and result in too many pointless meetings.

I salute you satellite engineer. Thank you.

What is social media? When is a site not social media? I imagine calling Reddit social media is reasonable. What's the difference between Slashdot and Reddit, besides the number of users?

Would a 16 year old be allowed to view Reddit to research topics but not be allowed to create an account or login?

Now that Xbox is lost in the forest and Nintendo has carved out a nice niche in the market with their own market share, Sony can be Sony and raise prices because... where else you going to go for your console hit?

Come on Microsoft, upend the market again and give Sony motivation to at least try coming out with something competitive instead of this clear money grab.

ISPs in Malaysia are given a list of domains they must prevent from resolving, it's a long list that's not limited to porn and gambling but also other sites the government feel may hurt feelings of Malaysians.

Thankfully that's it, and using Google or Cloudflare nameservers or even running your own name servers instead of ISP servers removed all censorship.

Hopefully the government kill switch is as poorly thought out as their censorship implementation.

Insurance does care about safety and airlines require insurance. If aircraft start having safety issues their insurance costs are going to increase costing airlines a lot more to fly the aircraft.

He is committing to not doing things that the Conservative party has no intention of doing. There was no intention by the Conservative party to tax meat, compulsory car sharing or force households to use seven recycling bins so it's a very easy commitment to keep.

Far easier to do nothing and look like a great deal is being done than do something and risk becoming even more unpopular.

Exchanges buying Bitcoin to cover customer withdrawals of Bitcoins?

Reporting from within the country has better coverage instead of reading what the NYTimes has to say about things.

I have the non Plus Developer Edition version of the new Dell XPS. Been using it for a couple of weeks.

Do not like the keyboard at all, particularly the escape, F key row not being keys but a bar with no movement at all. The keys were removed to add additional space for cooling the CPU. I'd rather less CPU and more keyboard. Does not make pressing escape much fun.

Trackpad is hidden so there is no sign of where it starts or ends, not my favourite trackpad to use.

I think there are better laptops to run Linux on.
