I think nuclear is one of those things that will never go away. While a fully renewable future would be nice, it's highly variable. Sure you can offset dark nights with wind power, or cold winters with hydro power. But no matter how

As a C dev I pay for CLion out of my own pocket. Partially because it's a great quality tool, and partially because there's not enough good quality tools for working in C on the market so I like to support the ones that do

As an embedded dev who often fits his software down into 64KB, it always suprises me when a simple app takes 1-200MB. Functionality wise so many of these apps could've been achieved on Windows 3.1, and yet they're 3-4 orders of ma

In addition to everyone who's given legitimate answers, it's also why they've used a picture of a dolphin and referenced "life, the universe and everything"

I've seen Tiktok described as "what happens when you give the illiterate a platform" I'm sure hoping this short attention span, no time to think sort of content doesn't become common

Youtube also recommends you videos but at least it gives you time to stop and consider what you want to watch next out of the 10 or so recommendations Tiktok is bam straight onto the next video

What are you on about? Your first point is that known vulnerabilities are the main issue, but somehow scanning for known issue won't help? Additionally, I hate this "If it doesn't fix every issue, it's not worth doing&qu

I already think twitter is the worst platform for conversation, the UI is only designed for shouting into the void Every time I see a post it's just followed up by 100 meme gifs, not discussion.

I have one stuck to the fridge for making shopping lists. Apps are cool and all, but sometimes it's just easier to jot things down

Not a completely unfeasible idea. Kinetically wound/charged watches have been a thing for decades

Remember when headphones were wired and didn't need power?

The amount of power required by a smart phone massively exceeds the amount of power that can be supplied by the area available

The UK isn't very rainy, it's only the 74th rainiest country. The issue is how many days are overcast

It's a shame but a necessary evil. I have seen multiple electronics/retro gaming channels messing about with titles and thumbnails to test what attracts the most views. The general consensus seems to be they wish they didn't

I'll never understand how 1. People think a non-renewable resource is somehow a permanent solution 2. There is only ever one solution and not a combination of multiple solutions all working towards a common goal

What's the issue? As far as I know the extension pack is a commercial piece of software and you have to pay to use it for work.

Does no-one remember how there were like 50 different phone connectors in the early 2000s? This is why we all (apart from Apple) settled on one standard

>A 4 year old iPhone still works perfectly, but a $200 Android will find its way to a landfill way sooner. As a rule of thumb, appliances that last are better for the environment than cheap products. Apple is good at make devices that la

Alsa fixed so many problems and caused so many more. It was great to finally get so much hardware support in the kernel

Linux version 2 was release in June 1996, and v3 in July 2011 15 years later. Everything in-between was incremental. This massively predates web browsers with 100 versions
