Apple was just the highest bidder for getting the latest TSMC process. They wouldn't have had a problem getting other customers to buy up that capacity. And Intel's missteps counted for a substantial part of the process dominance

Yes, I saw that! No response from the devs yet. Hopefully this gets into the kernel soon as a bugfix.

Never here that term used but I'm out west as well. We're all semi's, all the time. "two-four" is there and can confirm that is more an eastern term as well. Never heard the term until I spent a year out in Ontario

I use the amdgpu driver and my luck has not been as good as yours. Can't sleep my PC without having it wake up to fill my logs with spam [0] and eventually crash. Then there is the (in)famous AMD reset bug that makes AMD a real headach

How about when a recipe tells you to let something soak / marinate / rise / whatever "overnight". When really should I start? When really does it end? Is 8am one day to 4pm the next day (32h) the same as 9pm one day

I remember back in the day when the brooms were real corn bristle brooms. You had to have forearms like hams to slap those brooms back and forth hard enough to get those stones to move. The side effect was that every now and then a piece of

In my past life, we had a mix of Linux users using LibreOffice and MS Windows using Office. It was indeed at times painful, especially when LO content had to be merged into a Word doc. But too often I think people just think of Word vs Writ

Thanks for stating this. It puzzles me how people can still hold a grudge against the transition to KDE4 that happened back in early 2008. It took a while but even KDE4 got pretty good. KDE6 is great and if you follow Nate Graham's blo
