I heard of this years ago when I had a OnePlus One and played with LineageOS. What's the current status of the project? Is is a full functional replacement? Is it transparent to apps?

I don't develop for Windows but saying "sane technical person" is just self selecting for UNIX users. Also 1996 was 24 years ago. DirectX has had significant overhauls where I doubt any comparison from so long ago has any mer

The first falacy described in the article highlights how much conspiracies are faith based. Where someone deep enough in the rabbit hole believe it to such an extent that it's part of their identity. If you have a religious person, thi

The article states that 4 to 6 billion male chicks are killed a year. When looking to raise hens to lay eggs. This company has developed a system for identifying the sex of a chicken whilst it is an egg. So that they don't need to hatc

How cheap are you talking about? Because from what I've seen that's not the case. Most monitors hit sRGB. Easily. Unless you're talking sub $100. The differentiating factors today are high refresh rate or HDR where the DCI-P3

Why would a review be biased if they want 5G or a touchscreen in their laptop? Those are features of other laptops. And Apple already ships the technogy to support both.

It's using a Rockchip RK3399 anyone know much about it? Is it more or less documented than the Raspberry PI SoCs? Like for instance does it require a custom kernel?

Is the Docker daemon actually a huge security hole? I see people championing Podman because it's daemonless but is it actually beneficial or is it championed because it's Red Hat and a case of security check boxing?

I've got a P51. It's essentially always on fire and the fans are really loud. Not sure I'd recommend it. Build quality is very good however.

Violation of someone's freedom is a pretty silly stance, when there's plenty of banks to choose from.

IDnet is really good. They're like a small ISP that sells mostly to business that dabbles in the consumer space. Used them for ages and only had one issue, and when I reported it, the person talking to me was an networking expert.

Sure but it has no business doing this crap on university student's machines. It's straight up malware that modifies things that can break your computer. And it's not like they're going to offer support for fixing it.

The problem doesn't exist for you. But plenty of people have high latency internet connections. Either due to technology (Mobile network, satellite) or due to them being very far from internet exchanges and the server's they want

HTTP 2 is faster though. Especially over mobile networks. Simple doesn't always mean better.

In America they often talk about these huge sums of money being raised by politicians. Where does it go in a campaign? Adverts?

I really wish there was a way to jailbreak these devices. Like the nest hub has a nice screen. All I really want is the weather and when the next train comes.

Why? In my opinion Linux desktop environments are terrible compared to Windows. How's the display scaling these days? Is it still a better experience to run a 4k monitor at a lower resolution? What's the Nvidia driver situation? S

America has corrupt elections. From Gerrymandering, Voter Database purges, Voter Suppression through closing polling places, making it hard or impossible to vote by mail. All of it is intentional. And it won't change because those who

There's a quote from the CEO saying that they looked at the market and felt like they were being underpaid. And they can't reduce their salary now because it'd be unfair on their families. Firefox has a problem. It gets most

Wow. Now that's what you can call the next generation of storage. Are there any others coming out soon or are Samsung far ahead of the competition? It's really amazing that there's no Intel desktop that can run PCI Gen4 at th

The start menu integrates Bing web search so I'm presuming it's an advert from that. It also looks like you need to change a registry key if you want to disable it.
