We don't have magic oil filters which last even 22k miles. You should be replacing them every 6 months / 6k miles, or 12 months / 12k miles depending on your risk tolerance (some people suggest even half my short interval). A

Repair shop owners also don't enjoy work which is unnecessarily difficult. Between rebuilding an engine and disassembling a bumper to replace a lightbulb most mechanics would genuinely rather be doing the lengthy but interesting work o

EVs also have consumable parts which it would be incredibly annoying to place in nonsensical locations. The obvious one is the battery, and you can argue that modern EVs have batteries so expensive that when they are dead the car becomes sc

A real squirrel would need acorns, I would assume it's a clockwork squirrel too.

My point was, if you enjoyed it when it was tinkering heavy, nothing stops you from continuing to enjoy that even if there are now plenty of printers that don't require it.

I don't quite get your point about 3D printers. I spent many months redesigning, improving and rebuilding a prusa clone, not because I couldn't afford anything else, but precisely because I could afford to "waste" time a

The criticism is not of the idea that the world has problems, and that we should look at those problems with the aim of fixing them. The criticism is of the assumption that a world without problems theoretically could exist. You may disagre

2.20 seems ... weird? No matter what I do, the clock line in the log stays at 1 during tests. Also the D latches behave very weirdly.

More straw man arguments. You have just confirmed that you have _no idea_ what alternatives exist, that you have _no idea_ what systemd actually does, and you have _no idea_ what my actual stance is in this discussion. Please don't ins

Most of systemd's proponents are not people that care about what service management system they use. They defend systemd despite their ignorance of both systemd and the proposed alternatives solely to feel part of the "in group&qu

The word was "declarative" not descriptive. There is nothing descriptive about `Wants`, `Before`, `After`, `Requires`, `Requisite`, `BindsTo`, `PartOf`, `Upholds`, `Conflicts`, ... we could go on. And we can stop there. (To clarif

There are ~three groups in the systemd debate. People who grew up on sysvinit based service management and can't handle change (the partially straw man group you are complaining about). People who only know about sysvinit based service

It's incredibly common for people talking about C online or even in books (be that blog posts, side notes, tutorials, guides) to constantly make mistakes like these. C seems to be one of those languages where people think they know it

FreeBSD and OpenBSD docs are great, but let's not say they're the pinnacle of docs. I like them a lot more than docs for the average Linux distribution. They're even more polished than Arch Linux wiki. But they still have roo

You are either talking about a license nobody is using (at least I've never heard of it) or misconstruing what the AGPL obligates you to do. I am going to assume it's the latter. If you in your house take an AGPL program, host it

The US could be be such an amazing place... Meanwhile the solution to this problem in the UK is to reaffirm that you are in fact guilty by default unless by happenstance you are determined not to be by an unfairly chosen panel of blind and

I can't see such a GrapheneOS existing without explicit Google support. And I don't think Google would support something like that unless they suddenly decided to actually not be evil again.

by Arch-TK 7mo ago
GrapheneOS currently doesn't ship Play Store or Services OOTB. They install as normal apps (albeit with GrapheneOS providing support code to make the fact that these things use/expose custom privileged APIs work correctly). I don&

Google's hardware is just hardware. It is not locked down like the hardware of many other manufacturers. Moreover, it's the only such hardware which also allows you, the user, to lock it down for your own security. GrapheneOS is n

If you have something which doesn't come with such a function, nothing stops you writing it?

by Arch-TK 8mo ago
The C language has no such concept of attribute destructor and I am not talking about attribute destructor. I just mean, in the simple English sense, a function which exists to deallocate a structure.

Unfortunately doesn't work if the project you work on squashes everything :(

If you have something which contains pointers, you should have a destructor function for it, which itself should check if the pointer is not NULL before attempting to free any fields.

Imgur isn't blocked, they are blocking the UK. It has to do with their infractions regarding the GDPR. They blocked the UK to avoid getting fined any harder.

Google doesn't have any magic way to do instant notification that nobody else has access to. The only thing they have access to in this regard is disabling any battery optimisations without triggering warnings. Notification and battery

But that's the point. DRM works at all (in terms of causing inconvenience, not preventing copying, for that it will never work of course) because the people producing the data have an interest in applying the DRM. But the people produc

EURion marks are a feature you must include on your banknote for it to even be considered real. And it's _one_ feature. It's relatively trivial to make a chip which can detect their presence. On the other hand, if I need a replace
