  5. Polish government eyeing free speech social media law

    I never thought I'd see the day that Poland protects freedoms better than the US. While some are pointing out social media companies are private, so are newspapers and broadcasters. They must adhere to laws that social media seems immune to. There also seems to be a double standard with small businesses and to who they may or may not serve. There are haunting similarities to the Nazi rise of power: Nazi party was officially "National Socialist German Workers' Party" and promoted as a government for the people to give them back what they deserve. They started with a meager 2% popularity. They then took advantage of media and current tumultuous environment to spread propaganda. After gaining power, they bought a newspaper (Völkischer Beobachter) and controlled the message of other papers. Opposing views were squelched and those opposing leaders ostracized or executed. Poland obviously remembers the horror Nazis inflicted on them, while the US has forgotten.

  6. Apple extends free TV+ trials anew to July 2021

    Good series. I will wait 2 months though. Releasing weekly episodes on a streaming is plain dumb and backwards

  7. How about a native version instead of the bloated one now?

  8. Eww. Why are we moving back towards boxy laptops?? That's not going to bode well for watching movies designed for widescreen viewing (which... They pretty much all are, soooo...) Dislike. Wouldn't go with a boxy laptop unless there was literally nothing else on the market. PS- they better not phase out 16:9 completely... The Rev will not be happy... >:-(

  11. I hate this slow and heavy electron/web apps trend, i can understand small companies, but big companies should go native, specially for you OWN OS version

  12. WTF is even "native" software anymore. The browser might as well just be another runtime now. If anything, electron apps are less gross than Java apps ever were. electron apps are heavy and slow, I ditched postman that used 500mb of ram and started in several seconds for a native app do the same, use 50mb of ram and start in a second

  16. It looks good, but it is an electron app, so it is a webpage, what a shame, XAML not good enough to make nice apps? not crosspaltform? even Apple didn't ship iTunes as an electron app on windows, not even on their own OS

  19. Apple reportedly testing Music and Podcasts apps for the Microsoft Store

    Its probably going to be better than Microsoft's Groove player thats been stagnant for the last 6 years. Groove still has that Spotify ad on the hamburger menu. Microsoft first party apps are a disgrace. Its sad a billion dollar company can't make any decent apps with their own framework.

  20. Well, yet again, Teams development team is focusing more on design (I am familiar with Windows and MS apps overall inconsistency) than on fundametal features like configuring Teams via GPOs (cruial thing for VDI environemnts). What about disabling auto-start of the app? Another example is auto-start of MSI installation where "OPTIONS="noAutoStart=true" simply doesn't work and start (install the app) it for any new logged in user...and many many other things which are pointed out via uservoice for very long time already, with many votes.

  21. Don't worry, there are far better ways to enjoy a movie than on a laptop.

  22. Awesome! Ever since HD started becoming popular I've always disliked the wide aspect ratios. It might be good for movies (and that's debatable in my opinion) but for computing more vertical space really helps. I hope we start seeing more taller monitors for desktops also. And are there any Ryzen-based laptops with a taller display? At the very least, 16:10.

    Smart move. Good to see some countries are still trying to protect the freedom of speech online. Not every country must agree with the fascist social media platforms nowadays.

  24. I use a Macbook regularly and I find the touch bar to be completely useless. Most apps only use it for one or two functions so 90% of it is wasted space. You lose 12 keys with tactile feedback to gain 2 keys with LCD display. It's just bad.

    Is Poland a socialist government? I'm thinking having a government entity dictate how a private company chooses to operate is pure socialism.

  33. WandaVision

    I enjoyed the first two episodes which dropped last night. Not going to get into spoilers...but it was different. I didn't like the movie-length end credits though. The first episode is listed as 30 minutes ... about 22 minutes in the credits started rolling (which I thought was part of the show)...but nope...just 8 minute long credits.

    The opinions of nobody have been suppressed. Websites have Terms and Conditions and if you violate them you're out. You're more than free to talk elsewhere.

  36. Seems unlikely since thats the first time I've heard the name it's because there are so few ports you have to use dongles just so you can plug stuff in. No...I know why you said it. LOL. But are you going to call it the dongle book from now on? Mmm, no. 🤣

    They are not. They are preserving their own political web presence. If somebody suppresses your seditious post, you have to sue them first, which is very costly. Experience tells me that the elected committee will rule against you.

  41. Signal confirms service outage, restoration efforts underway

    Should be considered anti-competitive. I don't know for sure they're even related, just seems a little odd that: 1) Facebook supposedly starts censoring posts mentioning Signal. 2) Whatsapp postpones its policy change by 3 months. 3) Signal goes down on the same day. Just seems like somebody would like new Signal users to get annoyed, hear about the postponement and coming running back to Whatsapp.

    i think it's safe to assume that they pushed it back b/c theyre hemorrhaging customers.

  47. I want something that is durable and comes in fun colors. I've never used a phone case, but just the other day I dropped and cracked my S10 (resulting in an upgrade to the S20+). That was an expensive mistake, so case time it is. Now with the upgrade my phone is huge in all dimensions. Bring back poly cases.

  49. LG will unveil its first QNED TVs at CES 2021, featuring mini LED

    Interesting. I have a Sony Z9D LCD. Staying out of OLED since burn-in can still occur and lack of dynamic range (nits available).
