Windows 10 was the start of the forceful push towards use of Microsoft accounts and telemetry, dark patterns to achieve that and weird features nobody wants like like Bing search in the menu or the help opening bing in Edge rather than an a

Plus, a big part of an engineer's job is understanding what the system is doing and how. And correctness. Letting LLMs write everything without a deep review that would take at least half the time it would take to design and write the

I think the point is not that one should not look at RAM use, but be careful when looking at it since total RAM use may include the amount that is used for disk cache which will fill to use whatever is available (and will be freed back if n

Somewhat related: more than half of my Firefox extensions are to fix YouTube (no shorts, no autoplay in playlists, more videos on the home page, no AI dubs or title translation (plus sponsorblock)). I don't hate it but I hate its progr

A bit sad that this sound advice is downvoted (maybe just out of topic rather than a disagree?). https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11203943/ shows that covid transmission goes up exponentially (x1.5 per fli

In-flight is quite risky: long-haul flights have much more covid transmission than short flights, which should not happen if transmission only occurred during takeoff and landing. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/P

The LED is the lining of the power button so it's not so trivial to fix without affecting the power button itself. It's quite an annoyance too I think.
