   It's an easy and zero-boilerplate way to have immutable data-only structures with some useful tidbits like structural comparison, meaningful hashcodes etc. I say this as a C# developer that would desperately want them supported in C#

   The worst part is that they solved it in the "edge" branch (the one you need to use docker on WSL2)... because they switched to Electron

   For maps: Here Wego (new name for HERE Maps) can work completely offline once you download the necessary maps (even directions). It's been a lifesaver in the pre-EU-roaming era

   It has also brought stuff like ARM64 support (from Samsung and Qualcomm) without having to wait for MS to do it though

   Technically it's owned by .NET Foundation now, but admittedly it's composed of MSFT people by a large part. Also, language design happens on GitHub, and the community is encouraged to get involved.

   The Surface Pro also fits nicely on a 737 tray, you just need to find the correct placement for the kickstand, I usually take my Pro 4 while flying for this reason

   Keep in mind there's an important difference between the 64 and 128 GB models: 64 GB ones use an eMMC for storage, while the 128 GB model uses a NVMe SSD

    I'd consider 500€ the starting point for something that won't break down in an year here, upper middle would be around 700-800€. Keep in mind € prices most of the time include taxes (22% in my case), so...

    Part of the Windows 8 (8.1 actually) objectives was to reduce the memory and disk footprint so that cheap tablets could be viable. With WIMBOOT enabled a full 8.1 install could fit in slightly over 3 GB on certain devices (the evolution of

    Thanks. Looks like my old MacBook Air (model 6,2) is not supported, but its 11" variant (6,1) is. I'll give it a try when I return home from the holidays.

    I checked the prices for the Surfaces on the official store before posting, the most expensive one was the Pro X + cover + pen at 1998,99 € (others were in the 1930-1960 range). But my point was the same as yours: same price, better hardwar

    is 500€ (tax included) considered high end? The first result searching for "laptop" with a 8 GB ram filter on Amazon.it is an HP 14s, with an i5-8250U, 8 GB of ram and a 256 GB ssd priced at 599€. The third result is the same but

    I can see the seller is from the UK, according to hocuspocus it's one of the countries where it's officially sold. I'd expect some markup from them, maybe higher shipping fees, but since it's still within the EU there sh

    Yep, I can see some Acer, Lenovo or HP options in that range, but all of them are equipped with Celeron N4xxx CPUs, 4 GB of ram and 64 GB eMMC, not exactly stellar... I would consider a 500-600€ device with a decent screen, 8 GB and a (swap

    I often see price being cited as a selling point for Chromebooks, but I have never found them to be really cheap. Maybe it's a regional thing? Looking now on Amazon (.it) I can find a Pixelbook equipped with a measle i5-7Y57, 8 GB of r

    It's faster and works better than old conhost.exe they're also planning to overhaul it with more modern features judging from its trailer[0] (yes, this terminal has a fancy 3D trailer) [0]: https://www.youtube.com/

    is it because it's distributed through the store or because you're on a too old version of Windows? In the first case, you could probably build it yourself and install it on your own EDIT: you can download built packages from the
