on: Mullvad is now available on Amazon
Some items on amazon.de state "cannot be shipped to your country"; might be that it's simply that?

on: Audi owner finds basic HVAC function paywalled after pressing button
Are you sure? I have a VAG group car with the same sync button and it simply ensures that the set temperature is the same on both sides of the car. As this car already looks like it has automatic AC that shouldn’t require additional hardware, unless this is some fancier ”sync” than mine..

on: Adobe tricks users into a 12 month contract
I encountered this when canceling my Lightroom CC subscription. Changed me from ”potential future customer” to ”never buying anything from Adobe again” pretty quickly.

on: AWS federation comes to GitHub Actions
Nice. We implemented something similar using a custom GitHub App & a Lambda running on AWS calling STS AssumeRole. That has the added benefit of being able to restrict the permissions further using an inline policy, so that different repositories get different permissions (but is much more tedious to implement than this :).

on: Ploopy: open hardware trackballs and mouse
The one I have from Logitech uses an optical sensor for the movement itself. Gunk still builds up in the small balls that ensure the trackball itself rolls smoothly, so those have to be cleaned regularly anyway.

on: Setting up a Raspberry Pi with 2 Network Interfaces as a simple router
An alternative to worrying about two ethernet ports on the Pi itself is getting a managed switch with port tagging, and just setting up multiple VLANs on the Pi itself. I'm doing that myself with another small single-port board, works quite nicely.

on: How Finland rebranded itself as a literary country (2018)
Yeah, that's definitely true. Iirc Torvalds belongs to the former, though.

on: How Finland rebranded itself as a literary country (2018)
Culturally Swedish speaking Finns are much closer to Finns than to Swedes, 90% of the time. Add to the fact that a majority of them are fluently bilingual, and I'd call it somewhat of a stretch to characterize them as "ethnic Swedes". Source: live in Finland, speak both languages.

on: Heavy is the Head that wears the AirPods Max
Do the AirPods actually orient themselves towards your device, or just assume you're looking at it most of the time? I've noticed that the sound stage seems to recenter if I look away from the device for long enough when listening to some show on my iPad, and doing something else on a computer.

on: Why I’m Leaving Elm
I guess your perspective on these "gotchas or expectations" changes depending on how invested you are in the language. I worked on an Elm project that ended up fairly large. We started at 0.14, and each version upgrade became progressively more difficult because of changes made to the language and to the runtime. Some of the changes were understandable, such as wanting to change the direction of the platform by dropping FRP, while others were not, such as disallowing inline operators, or dropping methods from the standard library just because the BDFL decided he'd prefer for people to do things differently.
What really ended up bugging me was the patronizing "we're doing this for your own good" response given to every reasoned attempt to question these choices. In the end, Elm definitely had lots of excellent ideas, but I'm happy I don't need to deal with it any longer.

on: Netflix to cut streaming quality in Europe for 30 days
Yes, I doubt this was a very well-informed request by the EU as much as a PR move. I doubt the fiber between me and Netflix's edge cache at my ISP is significantly more saturated due to more people staying at home.

on: Swedes rebelling against a cashless society (2018)
Like another poster said -- cost per transaction is higher. iZettle charges around a magnitude higher transaction fees compared to the regular PoS, so for a non-trivial amount of transactions it becomes more expensive regardless of the lack of monthly fees.
