The funny thing is that Chrome re-added icons to their menu on Android 1-2 months ago

Yeah, that product is pretty much dead on arrival in Germany

Such emails would look _very_ sketchy to most Germans

They day Youtube decides to ban the LockpickingLawyer Channel for "showing users how to bypass secure doors" will be the day I uninstall and block Youtube on all my devices.

Yes, I know that there are approaches which use the normal file system.

But what I want is different:

I want a universial "DB for binary files" where I can store binary data and all its metadata.

Then I can use this DB to build a app for picture galleries, music collections and tons of other things.

This DB should also support:

* automatic checksumming so that I can detect data corruption

* Some sort of version history so that I can store multiple versions of a file

* there could be built-in replication which I can use to see the same data (or parts of it) on all my devices

I want to have both options because traditional folders and a tag based file system solve different problems.

Let's say I go on vacation with my dog and make pictures. After I am home again I want to sort the pictures but then I have a problem: the pictures in which you can see my dog in belong into the '2019 vacation to Bavaria' collection _and_ also in the 'Best pictures of my dog' collection.

I'd love to have some sort of universal file-database where I can store all my "final" images and then create collections by adding tags.

My personal nightmare:

Working in a company where I have only one monitor and a PC without SSDs. And I am not allowed to bring my own mouse/keyboard. And I don't have admin rights for the OS.

Of course there is no need for them but I am just used to use one and I would miss it.

I am looking for a DIY kit for a split ergonomic keyboard _with_ an attached num block.

Does anyone know if such a kit exists? There are a few kits for split ergonomic layouts but none of them seem to include the num block.

> I'm starting to think that comment sections on news sites are a really bad idea

I have no idea how it is in other countries but in Germany the comment sections in every single newspaper is _horrible_, especially when it is articles about refugees, climate change and similar topics.

> Your post seems odd. The autobahn is generally regarded as some of the best highway experience there is when it comes to other road users

I drive Autobahn both in Germany and Netherlands and I can tell you that driving in Germany is a 100 times more stressfull compared to NL! As soon as you cross the border to Germany everyone channels their inner race car driver and it becomes stressful. Driving in NL is much more relaxed and laid back.

Has anyone noticed that since a few weeks mobile Chrome shows a really curious behavior?

On a normal webpage:

- I scroll down -> address bar is hidden.

- I scroll up a bit and then down again -> address bar is shown

On any AMP page:

- I scroll down a bit -> address bar is hidden

- and then I can scroll in any direction I want and the address bar never appears unless I scroll to the very top

For me that feels like Google wants to keep me inside the AMP page and makes it harder to navigate to a normal page.

If I have enough time to kill I usually read the comments first in order to figure out if the article is worth reading
