I had one of these with NeXTSTEP but a while after a RAM upgrade it let its smoke out. I wasn't ever able to get it all back in so I threw the whole thing away. That was like 20+ years ago.

The only thing they make which I have bought in the last decade is Lipton tea, and I only bought that at a gas station because I didn't want an energy drink. Apparently they make lots of soap.

I use Tor for most of my browsing these days. While I'm under no illusion that it protects me from the US government (it IS NSA software after all), I'm fairly confident that it does protect me against non-15-eyes and corporate sp

CDDA is gradually evolving into more of a Dwarf Fortress than a Roguelike as time goes on.

What is this even? Like Snort? I haven't been knowledgeable about the Windows ecosystem since the Web 1.0 days.

This is good, Intel won't fix the CPU in my old Thinkpad W701ds because it's too old now for a firmware upgrade I guess. But the thing is not only more than fast enough for today's use, it also has 32GB RAM and I just got a c

>checks benchmarks And that's why I disagree. Also old-school Firefox and Seamonkey run great on my P3 450.

So what I'm getting here is that some poor quality app was banned from the store. Science knows Apple needs to do this much, much more aggressively. But because the people who coded the app were differently sexually preferenced, it has

We can expect every security hole possible to be exploited by these Chinese military apps. Heck, Fortnite intalls a rootkit on your PC for "anti-cheat" and that's even more egregious, yet it is allowed. The situation on Andro

Journalists need to take a page out of Assange's playbook and use ancient Thinkpads and Powerbooks and use VPNs which would make this technique obsolete.

They didn't have to rewrite everything in Rust thereby harming performance to a large degree.

I bet they don't. All the Mac Safari users I know also run Firefox because Safari's ad blocking sucks. I only know of a few Mac users of Chrome.

Lots of pointless user-facing "innovations," some of which break things with no warning, and very little improvement of the base OS from what a Unix person would notice, combined to cause stagnation. When Apple moved to file &#x27

Isn’t anybody else a little worried about how creepy this all is? The applications are endless, and I have this feeling that default on will become the norm, then the setting to turn it on and off and even see if you’re being contact traced

Oh my gosh I wish they'd have stopped with Rhapsody, to tell you the truth. Constantly redoing the UI while leaving basic functionality at a very bare level is really not doing it for me any more. Apple has moved against power users se

OpenBSD has to be able to build itself on fairly lean hardware, it's a design goal for the project. Rust has been in ports and packages forever if you want to install it.

Well "they" could in fact be George Lucas, who is an active ham and has been for decades, which makes us suspect he was also using the Internet too.

Of course you have the right to poke your nose wherever you like and complain about whatever you like as well. I also don't care for the idea that bribing the indigent and poor is what I'm doing. Glad to know that people are decou

Nobody would mind how they spent it if it was actually theirs to start with. When you give out free money it becomes everybody's business.

The article mentions this but links to a Google search as "proof." Even VM's have lots of ways to escape these days. Chroot vulnerabilities have been discovered and fixed over time, as any security issue in an operating syste

Think of the overhead which could be saved if services could be "spun up" in chrooted environments or even just as members of traditional Unix-style user-private groups! I know, I know, this is a newish concept which seems crazy.

How's it any more of a monopoly than Microsoft's store, Google's store, or even a digital content "store" like Netflix? Let's not misuse words to make a point here. All companies have, in your definition, monop
