We tend to underestimate the value that a decent UI/UX professional can bring to a software product. Users typically hate changes (change aversion is in the human nature) and will hardly notice a…

> Many licenses include future updates. May be so, but likely not in the long run. Developers don't quite want to work for free, and providing free updates is a bad business model if licensing…

Works for an OS that is not connected to the internet. You're probably doing this: 1. disable automatic updates 2. hope that no vulnerability is discovered for a month 3. apply all available patc…

If you pay for your software through a subscription, of course, no problem. You paid for software once? Well, tough luck. Your older versions will no longer be supported because we can't afford d…

It took a while to find a comment that points out the cost of maintaining legacy UI. It is highly likely that no customer is willing to pay for support of legacy anything, let alone UI. "Jonny&qu…

As a shareholder, this is disappointing to read.

I read a story where someone lost access to their google account and had to go through living hell to get the access back. Reaching a human for support was outright impossible. Privacy was not that bi…

Not quite the same thing. Thousands vs spontaneous few.

Haha, good old times :)

Thanks, this could be it. The clock frequency was mighty 4.77 MHz and boy was it fast when you typed "DIR" :)

After having read a number of articles talking about data leaks on a gigantic scale, I decided to check it out. Because shodan is not free to use/behind a paywall, I wrote a simple windows consol…

Techie here. I have one.

I got this: "Application error An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. If you are the application owner, check your logs for details. You can do this from the Hero…

I got pretty scary results for my sideproject url. It felt like a human was there typing the response out.

> Developers don't need 3 monitors to get through the working day, they need regular sessions with a psychiatrist. Amen. I can see this as dev perk in job ads.

I can see this being used by law enforcement in countries where IP address = person that rents it.

I would choose self-hosting for small to medium size teams any day. I can't fathom why people choose not to self-host at this scale. Your data. Your control. Your network. Your infrastructure. Yo…

At last I see someone else recommending this, I was starting to think I'm the only one opposed to 3rd party hosted "free" fonts. I chose to host the fonts myself for my 20-things.com si…

I started building https://20-things.com with a rather big barrier to entry (requires SMS verification) in order to discourage racists from signing up, which is what happens when anonymous…
