I canceled my local newspaper subscription (had to repeat "cancel the account" a dozen times whenever the CSR started speaking until they figured it out), subscribed through Google Play, and took 2/3 off the monthly cost.

Eliminate tariffs (and non-tariff barriers) and convince manufacturers they'll stay gone. Separate health-care payments from employment. Ensure that there's an adequate supply of vocational training. Add two zeroes to housing star

The "role-reversal" is only surprising if you had believed that the parties have actual principles.

Cigarette taxes north of $30/pack cause smuggling? I'm shocked to find gambling in this establishment!

Every fool knows that MongoDB is web scale. (Not as web scale as /dev/null, but MongoDB has a better logo.)

If performance is a primary criterion, why get a U-suffix processor? The X1 Carbon is about thin and light.

Is yours an IPS or TN screen? From what I've read the fleet buyers will do anything to save a few dollars a unit so Lenovo offers TN as a base model for that market.

Which non-Intel card? The Atheros ones should work fine; Realtek makes hot garbage that should be avoided at all costs. (If it's a non-Lenovo card you'd need to disable the BIOS whitelist, but that's easy enough to do.)

The X1C with WQHD is awesome. It can even be reasonably priced if you buy at the right time (got my X1C5 over Black Friday weekend w/ the EPP code). It does require a bit of fiddling in Linux to get the display scaling right; some DEs

iXSystems does have min/max configuration prices on their website for the TrueNAS systems. If they took forever or wanted to get into NDAs for pricing that would be one thing, but if I wanted to specify the exact parts in my servers ra

To cost-effectively build a rail system in the US, you need to start with an FRA waiver (or avoid needing one with a fully separated system). Without one, you need special FRA-compliant trains that weigh (IIRC) 40% more than those designed

Does the Galago Pro have a TPM? Their website doesn't mention one, but not having a TPM is just silly.

I don't think anyone considers touch screens to be a "useless luxury"; the problem is that touch screens are also pro-glare, and that's actively harmful. I like 4k, and touch with a matte display would be unobjectionable

The XPS 13 would've been my top choice if Dell were interested in taking my money, but they're only willing to sell me one with 16GB of RAM if it also has a pro-glare display. I bought an XPS 15, which came with major backlight bl

Breaking compatibility is mandatory; otherwise Haiku would be stuck with its C++98 API. Trying to interface otherwise-modern code with the vintage BeOS API is doable but does not exactly lead to rising property values in Tokyo.
