    How does sending emails as different entities from one E-mail address work?

    Ok, outside of getting help from the people running mail servers, proving email was really sent needs goodwill from both parties. You send a screenshot of your sent mail, they trust you, and you trust that they will trust you when you are right. The world of email is so rotten that you both may...

    How does sending emails as different entities from one E-mail address work?

    You are taking sender too seriously. The designers of the protocol (SMTP) didn't take it so seriously :). You can put any string as the sender of an email - just the length is restricted and maybe certain characters are not allowed. Use the code from here, and send email as Batman yourself ...

    Think twice before buying from dBrand again.

    Dbrand literally pays Linus tech tips so that hosts at Linus tech tips abuse Dbrand. You'll know if you see a YouTube video from Linus tech tips that is sponsored by Dbrand.

    Extreme ignorance alert. That is current account deficit, not fiscal. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/economics/10/twin-deficits.asp Yes, that's why education, which takes 20 years, is being neglected...

    Extremely lost and confused between Electrical Engineering and IT

    It is established here, that no one knows the future. But whatever you do enjoy in computers, IT, and software today, might not be required in a real job very soon. So try to analyse what exactly you like in this field. Example : one of the things I enjoy is the details, using an item...

    PC Peripherals What wireless mouse is everyone using and how long have you been using it?

    It's not just bullheadedness, there is real convenience behind using things that last. One gets used to the features, buttons, behaviours of our existing mouse, and uses it subconsciously without thinking too much about it. If we just keep trying new ones, when do we do the real work ?

    The bane of betting apps everywhere!

    The arguments of these "gaming" companies is that "skill"is needed to win in these schemes, not just luck. So it is not exactly gambling. Now anyone following cricket for more than one match knows how much it is skill and how much luck when predicting the number of runs one batsman makes in a...

    90K+ Powerful PC with Ryzen 9 + MB, 128 GB RAM, 4 TB NVMe, CPU, Cooler, PSU, UPS

    Whatever the number of monitors you plan to run, two of them can run on the iGPU of AMD 7000 series processors at 4k 60 Hz. As per AMD the chip can run 4, but typical motherboards host 2 ports capable of this : an HDMI and a DisplayPort. In case this reduces your GPU worries.

    In one para : what's wrong with our modern diet.

    Any piece of writing calling such studies junk, without doing it themselves, is much more junk. No study has been able to control the subjects to such an extent because it would cost a lot, and mankind is unwilling to spend so much to figure out what is good for their own health. But these...

    Just an idea, nothing wrong with your plan, but from 4-5 feet away, you may not be able to appreciate the details of the 4*3840 x 2*2160 resolution. And bezels, however small will come in the way. There are business projectors, which are kinda cheap because they don't have real HDR and their...

    Health & Fitness Corona is in full swing and its not Joke !

    Why do I see someone assuming that their wrong opinion should be given a wide berth just because it is in minority? Easy to say now, that I have pointed out your mistake. People who already know would be extremely likely to cover this disclaimer in their original statement. Extraordinary...

    This shows extraordinarily poor understanding of vaccines. If a huge majority is vaccinated, it indeed helps the unvaccinated minority. https://www.publichealth.columbia.edu/news/relationship-between-vaccines-herd-immunity

    Health & Fitness Corona is in full swing and its not Joke !

    Yes, absolutely. People don't understand the concept of vaccines : it is pretty much a herd immunity philosophy. That the vaccines got developed so quickly, and yet contained the pandemic so effectively, is nothing short of a miracle of science. If we had 8 years, we would have developed a...

    News MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16 with new processors released

    Ok, your hope in human progress is much much lower than my own. I had such a 1% like setup with Symbian S60 , with its python interpreter onboard. Within a year or 2, Android surpassed the functionality I had with my S60 setup, and within another year iOS surpassed it, if I remember correctly...

    News MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16 with new processors released

    Android is not a fully open OS by any stretch of imagination. It used to have much more FOSS, but still. I knew 10 years ago, and as I mentioned, I'm not keeping track lately. Ok, this is the 5th time in 24 hours someone forgot the context of that post of mine, so posting the screenshot in...

    I didn't ask for alternative ways for "some of this" that works only where there is a "home" network you control. Did you miss the question I was answering with the post ? I had quoted that question within my post for easy reference. It was in a context where iOS users were giving ways of doing...

    News MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16 with new processors released

    People who were giving iOS ways to do everything have not done so with the activities I need, so I guess iOS still can't do those things. My pockets thank you guys :) :) Sometimes an analogy is so apt, it's less an analogy and more the same underpinning of two phenomena. 1. Software that one...
