It's super fast and light here. Is your ad blocker up to date?

When 1.1.1.1 launched here in Spain, it was inaccessible from several major carriers. Some had network-wide routing problems to that IP address, and some had installed CPEs that included static routes to 1.1.1.0/24 and stuff like that, probably for internal purposes.

Nothing of this strikes me as odd, let alone malicious. It's such a weird IP range, I even remember having my LAN configured as 1.0.0.0/24 at some point, because who would ever use those IP addresses?

Also reminds me of when Spanish ISPs were given IP ranges by RIPE for their customers beginning with 37.* -- those had never been used, so many network administrators had them added to their bogon list, which meant for those customers lots of web pages were inaccessible. The solution was to reboot their CPEs until they got a good ol' IP address from the ol' ranges :D

Oh, that was stupid :D

That HP laptop has an apple on it.

I will hope this post is ironic and move on.

I suggest you switch to btrfs and use volume snapshots. That way you can take a snapshot just before you do a major upgrade (like a driver update) and if things don't work out you can instantly restore your system so you can keep working.

I find this reasonable: as a member of society, it benefits me that e.g. we have competent doctors for when I get sick

Problem with this is, in the list of degrees, useless degrees far outnumber useful degrees.

Is he a citizen? If he is not, why should he not be deported?

For a very long time Chrome has been vastly superior to Firefox. Now Firefox is starting to reach the level of Chrome, but they seem to be unable to stop pissing the bed, which in the end I believe will make their technical efforts worthless.

As a client of them, that's good. And they are so big that nobody would blacklist them.

Super fun to compare the comments on this to the comments on the Uber accident.

Talk about over engineering: spin up your own URL shortener using Lambda.

Still waiting for Dan Schneider to fall.

They will kick you off if you're a white supremacist, but not if you're a carder or a phisher.

Isn't Facebook already biased enough? Exactly what we need is the BBC looking at our communications, removing what they can.

The EU knows what the pain points are and has done nothing to alleviate them. They deserve the backlash they are getting from the UK and East Europe, and their arrogance will cost them even more in the coming years.

Because the GPL is cancer. It's bad, and it spreads and ruins everything it touches.

I can't, and that's sad.

Android is a really really low bar.

Windows Phone was definitely NOT good. It was stable, and it was visually appealing. But it was always "almost there". It always gave you the impression that the next update would get there, but updates were super slow, if you would get them at all.

There's nothing particularly insane about not breaking the APIs with every single release like OS X does with user-facing stuff or Linux does with kernel-facing stuff.

In fact, you have to go the extra mile to break stuff.

This looks like an attempt to lower the bar of a serious thing, which is based entirely on merit and hard work, just for the sake of inclusivity.

I'm not happy with this level of privacy, that's why I don't use Facebook. :-)

I live in Western Europe and I'd say 99.9999% of owners of smartphones have either a FB, WA or IG account and use it every day. Everybody uses WA, older people use FB, younger people use IG. If you refuse to use WA you are an outcast, and many people got a smartphone just for WA.

The media likes to drives us with rage because that attracts clicks, and once a new big thing happens this will be forgotten by everybody forever.

I hope this hate on FB ends already, I'm tired of seeing the home page of HN polluted by it.

We all knew what was going on on FB, so acting surprised is silly. And we all know this won't change nothing because most people don't care and will happily keep using FB. And we also know even if people stop using FB they will keep using WA/IG. So what's the point? Is this only a problem now that Trump took advantage of it?
