Having specific lines be easily repairable doesn't influence how Framework laptops interact with the rest of the market. It's very much not just businesses (or individuals buying business-line devices) that should be able to rep

While HP's service guides have been good, even on their non-business models, the actual serviceability isn't great. You have rubber feet that can't be re-applied after removal, and good luck getting replacement parts as an av

Wow, I didn't care enough about the news to actually look at any pictures, I just read the name and heard the general idea. That is truly awful . On top of the multiple visible layers of stuff everywhere, those are some of the ugliest

Great! We should all be worried when our governments lock themselves into situations with just a single vendor.

I've only ever seen Ada used in a military-related product, and there was one person on the team responsible for maintaining it. They didn't like doing it, but it was a legacy product, and they were the only one who had learned en

I wish it was normalized and easier to contribute to open-source projects that you use. I have recurring donations for Thunderbird and KiCad, and I make occasional one-time donations to the likes of KDE. I don't see a clear way to dona

I'm not Jewish, nor have I studied Jewish law/rules, but I don't think those could be justified as being sufficiently continuous. It's more of a network of various stations connected by discrete cables, rather than one b

When I want to visit Compiler Explorer, I start typing godbolt, then his Enter when the browser brings up the correct item from my History. "compiler-explorer.com" is also much longer (if you want to type out the whole things).

He's saying that people don't like breathing in smoke. Anyone who's gone camping and had the wind shift while around a fire can relate. "Maybe not in that exact framework" is explicitly justifying the flowery langua

Seeing "all built-in functions and operators are single unicode symbols" stood out to me, given that APL existed well before Unicode did. It's not that it's wrong today, but that wasn't always the case. My father us

That's the time that the subjects stopped consuming caffeine as part of their usual diet, not the time that the pill (either 200 mg caffeine or a placebo) was administered. The subjects were required to maintain their usual caffeine in

Did anyone see what the interval from caffeine dose to bedtime was in this experiment? I won't claim to have read every sentence, but I did skim the whole paper, read through the procedure parts, and did a couple key-word searches, but

As some have said about self-driving: if it can't handle edge cases, it's not self-driving.

As I say in the parentheses after that first comment on trusting it less, I mean it in a human sense, a person being two-faced or ready to exploit you then stab you in the back. While that and factual inaccuracy aren't mutually exclusi

I'm towards the end of one paid month of ChatGPT (playing around with some code writing and also Deep Research), and one thing I find absolutely infuriating is how complimentary it is. I don't need to be told that it's a &quo

I can see it being powerful, but having only used it in undergrad lab courses, I dislike and resent it.

A fun read, but I do find it a bit odd that in 30 years the author doesn't think that we would have reverse-engineered making CPUs, or at least gotten as far as the mid-70s in terms of CPU production capabilities. Also, the 10k years l

100 MB is a lot for a simple application. On the Android phone I had in the mid-2010s, that would have taken up a ridiculous amount of my precious little storage. That chain of dependencies does fall in line with the message (regardless of

I don't expect it to fetch everything from a server every time, not every app needs to be only a browser serving remote content. I just expect a simple app to be simple in size, there just isn't much going on in this app.

I do find it ridiculous just how big mobile applications have gotten. Why does the UPS app have to be over 100 MB? It's got maybe a couple dozen unique screens visible to the user, few image assets, and mostly just settings, and accoun

This sounds more like a dystopian novel, where only the wealthy can afford stable power and everyone else is left without.

Unrelated to the issue here, I remain disappointed with the Wikipedia redesign. I find it too like a mobile-first-page, and I'm put off whenever I go to the site in a browser where I'm not logged in.

No, you can admit that making the API simple was a mistake, but you always blame the person abusing the API (it's not like this is a critical system with valuable information). If everyone was acting in good faith, it wouldn't be

As a Canadian, "Made in the USA" is currently a mark against, and I would only consider buying that product if it was absolutely the only remotely reasonable option.

Google has a monopoly on Android services and app distribution that the used to effectively force them to sign it. Literally not having a choice isn't the only way to be coerced to agree.

Sending mail being a challenging or difficult thing does come across as odd to me, being in Canada and born in the late 90s. Sure I haven't mailed a letter in a couple years, but when I do the main hassle is just finding where I put my

I agree that the title implies (or even declares) that it takes fewer than 21 days. I'd argue that the articles says that it does take those 21 days, plus many more, making the title deceptive.
