This is how embedded linux systems are built already, AFAIK. There are vendors, such as MontaVista, that provide a toolchain to build images in this manner. There are free software alternatives too to do that, such as Embedded Gentoo.

Me too. For me, it was important to be able to point it to my folders (well, symlinking to them) and 'syncing' so it read the metadata and generated the thumbnails without the need to upload them anywhere. Also the calendar view h

Nokia and Ericsson are the other big 5G vendors. I don't know of any problems in their ability to deliver.

Not a fool proof way, but when you buy, say, a $10 000 car, you should budget some thousands for repairs. Then if it breaks down soon after and it's too expensive to repair, your downside is $10 000, which is how much your $40 000 new

Not to counter you, but why would a low-income household consider buying a new car? A properly maintained ten year old car these days is normally quite reliable and safe.

It depends how you defined technical issue. For example the French Areva power plant projects in Europe have been met with all sorts of issues ranging from subcontractors that are inexperienced with NPP level of quality and documentation re

AFAIK there's no such lock-in in PWAs, even if the app stores are probably going to be the most important venues for their distribution. PWA is a web app that gets more 'app-like' progressively when you need it to. You can us

Sadly the shuttle abort protocols were not effective for Challenger-like, catastrophic failure modes. My, admittedly layman's, understanding is that Apollo abort system would have been able to evacuate the crew in a number of pretty di

Here's a Wikipedia article about the abort modes. It probably would get pretty tense if you had to abort when the rocket started going through 'rapid unplanned disassembly', though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wi

I prefer motorized, because it allows for fast and effortless changing between postures. I know it's not that big deal to use hand crank, but it's just enough trouble that you will not be changing between sitting and standing duri

I think having a more disperse mix of generations would solve this. Not every family's kids need parents in the backyard, but some retirees could be there. Not necessarily to be actively engaging with the kids, but keeping an eye on th

Interestingly here in my native Finland, traffic tickets for major violations are progressive. So for a low income driver, major speeding might lose your license for months, but only cost you 150 €. The same infraction would cost a upper-mi

Also, there's a PIN code you can use to protect from transferring your number to another device. This is periodically asked by the client app so that you'll remember it.

It's the first time that he's the one to sign off the release rather than Linus, so it's appropriate to explain a bit.

Responding likewise? You mean censoring stuff back? That seems like an awful thing to do, to verify for global audience that censorship is a legit tool of foreign politics.

You could fuse the facial recognition data to phone radio base station tracking, bluetooth beacons and such to get multiple points of reference for verification. And tracking between workplaces, apartment buildings and transport turnstiles

And if we could forest up some places where there's no forest at the moment, a large fraction of that carbon would be tied up there basically as long as that forest stays up.

Legal issues, I bet. AFAIK there's no way to run macos without Apple hardware and comply with the license. You could run a VPS provider on Mac Pros I guess, but I doubt it would be cheap.

Social media apps are easy to uninstall, and that's what I've done. For the occasional Facebook event / messenger use case I need (some people insist on communicating through these), I use mbasic.facebook.com, which I think i

One related positive trend is that the vendors of these machines are using the same battery across their range of devices. Then they cut down costs by unbundling the battery from the equipment so that you only need to buy batteries when you

I'm a Finn myself and we also have special names for the two wars Finland fought during the WWII; The Winter War (1939-40) and the Continuation War (1941-44). It would be interesting to know what number of different specific names for

You mean it should say Second World War? That's quite broad, then you'd need to add more qualifiers. This name is more exact and is not wrong.

On the other hand, if the abstractions on the CLI tool are well chosen, it is good that the same ideas work are employed in the GUI as well to facilitate learning who the tool actually works.

I recommend having a frontend like SourceTree for git - it uses bare git underneath so the end result and even the state in your working copy will be just the same, but you'll have better picture of what is happening. As the working co
