I would have bought a Framework laptop but here were the dealbreakers - Ancient Intel processors - AMD option seemed to be accompanied by broken wifi
It's not that hard. Just provide a single modern option that just works. I don't want to troubleshoot device drivers in my spare time.
Web Attestation, cryptography to the rescue.
My prediction is that Apple will start to use attestation (device check) to lock down iMessage. The problem is that this would require a software update for older devices.
What is an example of a "semantic layer" in this context.
It is also possible to configure device IP addresses directly with ARP https://jetdirect.printerdepo.com/en/hp-jetdirect-print-serv...
I don’t want these features. This will inevitably break certain experiences. Some features like query parameters are part of HTTP and shouldn’t be tampered with.
The current Broadcom is actually a spin-off from HP. This spin-off (Avago) has been on a massive mergers and acquisitions spree over the last decade. This culminated with Avago buying Broadcom and renaming itself to Broadcom.
Some of the crappy Wifi+BT chipsets that were sold under broadcom were actually sold off to another company, Cypress Semiconductor.
You are not able to use it until it is empty. You are paying for X pages a month. If you have printed X pages, you need to pay more.
You don't need to use the subscription model to use a printer, you can use regular cartridges.
I think this will ultimately result in more and more companies bypassing the UK. The CMA has proven to make arbitrary decisions unrelated to real competition concerns. While the EU is a large enough market for now, the UK could potentially just be skipped. All European markets are fading into irrelevancy, if the UK decided to be extra difficult to operate in, it will just accelerate its decline.
The logic doesn't make sense, and Microsoft also doesn't have a market power advantage here.
The Xbox Series X/S has been a bit of a boondoggle and Sony is vastly outselling Microsoft this generation. Not to mention the existence of Nintendo, Valve and other PC gaming stores. The argument that this would weaken competition for gaming consoles is laughable.
Sony and Nintendo have exclusive games to gain an advantage. Now an American company wants to do the same thing, and they are blocked.
American companies are being put at a competitive disadvantage due to ridiculous anti-trust interpretations. Basically the CMA and FTC are trying to prevent any American tech company from acquiring another tech company for political points at home. How did we get to this point?
It is extremely dangerous to throw logic out the window, as this results in bureaucrats picking winners and losers.
Ocaml code compiles to native binaries, just like Go/Rust.
Propoganda for childen:
What is the rationale for using a programming language runtime designed for distributed computing for local data analysis?
What was wrong with KDE3? I never used 2 but I was very happy with 3
Much longer. At least since 2014.

AirBnB is a terrible platform for users.
Recently a host charged me a cleaning fee, left me a negative review about not cleaning. I requested that the cleaning fee be refunded, since it was clearly fraudulent. AirBnB declined to refund the cleaning fee. I will never use them again.
I wonder what can be done to prevent companies like AirBnB, PayPal from becoming so user-hostile over time.
I had a similar experience. Airbnb still has not refunded me, and the negative review is still online.
I doubt I will get a refund. But I will certainly never use airbnb again.
Wouldn't it be good for the company to let these RSUs expire? How does it benefit the company to make sure these exercise?
If only a certain Redmond, Washington company that "loves linux" would be willing to spare a developer for this popular filesystem...
Russia has the most nuclear weapons of any country, the largest airborne assault force in the world, the best missile defense system in the world, the second most nuclear submarines (and second best), the third most fighter aircraft, the most tanks.
Russia has a great domestic arms industry/natural resources and can resupply itself in isolation.
People need to realize that Russia's defense is primarily setup to defend its borders.
Any country other than the US would not fare well in a nuclear war with Russia, including China.
China hasn't been at war since the 70s. No one knows how well they would do in a conflict.
You simply cannot ignore nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are a great equalizer, that is why North Korea cannot be invaded from South Korea, despite South Korea having a much better "conventional" military.
In 2014 Russia annexed Crimea, and parts of the Donbas became controlled by "separatists".
Ukraine is currently not close to retaking Crimea.
If Ukraine somehow takes any Russian territory (defined as post 2014)… it is almost guaranteed nuclear weapons would be used to stop the Ukrainian advance
Vietnam doesn’t border Russia/USSR, and Vietnam isn’t a former Russian territory with millions of native Russian speakers.
Western countries need to ask themselves: is funding a major proxy war against the second most powerful military in the world in our long term strategic interest?
I am a pretty loyal HBO max customer, despite the troubles with the service. The content is just too good.
I thought this would be about B-tier content. But Westworld? Arguably HBOs biggest hit since game of thrones? What are the MBAs looking at? It was bad enough that Westworld was not in 4K.
Now that the White Lotus is over, maybe i should cancel
HiDPI support and fractional scaling are simply must-haves for anyone with a computer built after 2011.
XFCE should be spending all of its development efforts on supporting Wayland. The project's priorities are clearly not in the right place to ensure the future growth of the project. Market share will continue to decline until wayland support is added, no matter how great any new features are.
You need to get an iOS app out yesterday. The UX/design world is filled with Apple loyalists.
Doesn't this violate anti-discrimination laws? It seems like this discriminates against US citizens (discrimination by national origin).
In the US, we have government programs to educate, feed and house the needy. None of these programs have solved the problem.
Public education in particular sees very bad outcomes for poor students. It is time to privatize.
tbf, interruptions are also a problem with Satellite TV systems
