Wow. I haven't used Raspberry, but I hope someone fixes that. Another thing I forgot to mention - MTU mismatch is hard to debug. Everything works until you hit the packet limit. I had a very funny case when I worked through SSH console

Pumping up MTUs is mostly viable on a file transfer networks. Tried it on 10G NAS - worked pretty well. But that's LAN, where retransmits are pretty non-existent. On the internet larger damaged packets will cause larger retransfers. An

What I fear is law-enforced backdoors that could literally destroy everything - programs, code, data... Just imagining this dystopian concept brings me shivers. You didn't pay taxes? Data deletion.

These "hambugger" symbols wouldn't look so hambuggerish (but more like menu) unless someone had less maniacal affection towards rounding all the corners... (typo intended) And now sausages... oh no.

It may sound unrealistic, but, this article and the overall tendencies in MS products gave me a weird idea that indeed someone in the position of power has decided to gradually bury Windows as a platform and shift people to Linux. Sounds li

Maybe it's just better mastering, but I mostly hear the difference between 44 and 48KHz. And because of this, I'd love to see more DVD audio selling too :)

So, once again, no one is neutral. Companies decide who's bad and what's true. I'm not pro-trumpist, but a few years ago it hurt pretty bad, and it continues.
