Given your gaming background, I can see why you don't want a Mac. But Linux? I have two kids, aged 7 and 10. They would be very much 'not amused' if I'd propose them 'tux racer' or the likes... Steam works pret

I switched to Ubuntu recently. Never looking back. There are still minor painpoints, but they pale in comparison with the mess that has become Windows.

1) if new rules state that you can get paid for taking care of someone, then asking for that money is not fraud. You are due that money, by law. This was pointed out when the law was being discussed at the time in parliament. 2) if your sup

I can't imagine there are many in this neck of the woods, but for those not initiated, the title of the article is a reference to Monty Python: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cj8n4MfhjUc

From what I remember, the defect was a manufacturing defect, not a design flaw. Some chipped paint meant that a critical distance was extended by the thickness of the paint layer.

Being not native, I googled before I posted. In the first page I saw some phrases that seemed to confirm for me. For example, Wikipedia, citing a book from 1991: Counterculture may or may not be explicitly political. It typically involves c

My understanding of counterculture is that it 'counters'. I.e. it inherently searches to change or influence the dominant culture. Your examples do show that we are (thankfully) not a monoculture. But they place themselves outside

You use the F22 (and stand-off munitions) to obtain air superiority at the opening of hostilities. Bombing airstrip, C&C infrastructure, SAM suppression, etc. You then use your vast fleet of less capable planes to ramp up sorties, provi

In German you can write 'ss' for 'ß'. So 'spaß' (fun) becomes 'spass' . And the 'e' can be used to encode a diaeresis. For example 'spät' (late) becomes spaet'. It makes sense

Indeed. As they say, eternity is very long, especially towards the end. For proof, check out this video that explains how eventually even protons will give out and evaporate. The thing that blew my mind: when things started getting very wei

I've always understood that those questions are just a legal construct to be able to get you out of the country in case of issues. No need to prosecute for expulsion if there were lies on the immigration form; it becomes just an admini

When you say 'law', you're talking about the 500-year old law that codifies what you can put in beer? (reinheitsgebot) or did you have something else in mind? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinheitsgebo

haven't done the math, but two things come to mind. 1) the distribution is not random. Satelites are more densely distributed in certain diserable orbits, than in others. 2) you can not compare indivdual risks with societal-wide risks.

MacOS machines phone home to Apple when installing. If the machine is known to belong to the company, it can then send it off to an MDM server from a third party, who can install stuff. But Apple does not know for all machines who owns them

1) makes the same mistake as the author. Yes, after 600 years you can hold it in your hand for a brief moment without dying. You have to swallow, or be in contact 24/7. But if you live in an area with contaminated air or water, you&#x2
