The whole point of some of their articles was to go into the more esoteric technical details rather than gloss over them like some other sites. So in that aspect you are correct: it wasn’t for “the average joe”. However, for some people it was what they wanted.

That attention to technical detail and knowledge is why people like Der8auer have an audience today and people respect his opinion.

The character limitation is also a problem in Korea. The thing that makes it worse is that your name on your alien registration card (think Green Card) is used to open your bank accounts. If they don't match you'll have a hell of a time doing any sort of online or mobile transaction since the systems are tied together. Only recently some banks have recognized this as a problem and extended the number of characters allowed.

+1 to this. I switched to a Kinesis ergo and typed qwerty for a while, then switched to Dvorak. When I got my Moonlander I kept it Dvorak and haven't had any issues with going back to qwerty on normal keyboards.

According to the article,

"The new generation Rocket Lake is the combination of two different backported technologies. Intel took the Sunny Cove core from 10nm Ice Lake, and re-built it on 14nm, calling it now Cypress Cove. Intel also took the Xe graphics from 10nm Tiger Lake and re-built those on 14nm, but these are still called Xe graphics."

So, yes, it appears to be a backport.

I would expect no less from police, however, these days some "news" seems to be taking select information with no context, or out of context, and then using it to push a certain narrative. I think the point being that we should seek the truth (maybe the wrong word here..) no matter what the source.

(I am not a scientist) I remember seeing someone talk about the risk of re-infection when this all started. They said that they only way to fully know if the virus has mutated would be to do a full sequence of the virus comparing the first infection with the second. It will be interesting (and possibly scary if has mutated) to see what is causing this second re-infection of patients that are supposedly recovered.

Here's an article talking about people getting re-infected at the end of Feb. https://www.livescience.com/coronavirus-spread-after-recover...

I can't be sure about Metro since I don't use them, but I've gone from postpaid to pre-paid on T-mobile and I no longer get the the warning/caller ID saying it. Even on their page, it does not mention anything about pre-paid.

Also, their website doesn't have the option for me like it used to, and here's a thread on their site from 2018 that talks about it not being available to pre-paid users:

Ok, if the UX is revolutionary, then what prevents others from copying it? It still seems like the moat for the UX isn't that great.

Not OP, but if they weren't doing it before, and just copied Uber, doesn't that show how weak their moat is? The same could happen with autonomous vehicles as well then.
