I’ve had plenty of cases where a Linux upgrade caused a boot failure, or an upgrade only half finished, or where I deleted files by accident. Grub will boot from previous snapshots. I can rollback a failed upgrade to before I started it. I

I just started seeing items with same day shipping where I live. We’ve received a few items now within just a few hours of ordering it. Most of the common items we order are 1-2 day shipping. Less popular items can be several days or more.

They just use Bing user the hood and the results are awful. I use some browsers that default to Bing/DuckDuckGo and every time I can’t find something I switch to Google and find the answer right away. Bing seems to surface a lot more u

Considering modern processors spend 4-5 years in development before public release, someone would have to be building the game changing RISC-V CPU right now. Maybe he meant that development on RISC-V CPUs would start in earnest in the next

I’ve been learning rust and I spend the vast majority of my time dealing with lifetimes and borrow checking. Common ways in used to doing things simply don’t work in rust and a lot of effort has to go into keeping track of how and where dat

Just as ZIP is a mediocre compression algorithm that is supported basically everywhere. Today we have larger storage and faster bandwidth than ever before so it’s easy to trade off compression for ease. Same goes with mp3. Back in the day,

I worked at a startup with just 2 other engineers. They hired a guy from Google with a decade less experience than me. When I arrived I was taking my time to understand the culture, company, needs, etc. before making any suggestions. One ex

I will never buy a Samsung device whether a TV or phone or anything else.

FireTV stick or box is a good alternative. You can sideload apps like XBMC in addition to native support for streaming services. There are even hacks to replace the launcher.

Evolution. Operating systems, and more specifically, security have been constantly evolving. Bad actors have exploited vulnerabilities and because of that there has been a bigger emphasis on security, even down to the hardware level. One co

Security is provided by the OS. A side loaded app has no more access to the device than an AppStore app. I really don’t understand this argument. If there are security concerns with a side loaded app then the problem is with the operating s

Denver started a study to look at a feasibility of converting empty off buildings to housing. They selected 12 buildings with occupancy rates from 0 to 50%. Yes there are large office buildings that are completely empty.

Within the last year I interviewed at more than a dozen tech companies and they were all remote jobs. The job I accepted had a local office but it’s entirely optional to go there.

That issue currently appears to be relevant only to the AM5 series boards and CPUs. The 5900X is an AM4 part.

That’s not the case on the US (tax is added after the fact) and there hasn’t been a massive switch to cash. Convenience is a powerful thing.

No. They are hosting adding a beta feature that will part W2s but it didn’t work for me.

3 weeks? You would have gotten them faster directly from China and probably for a lot cheaper. The only reason for me to order from a US based company is faster shipping.

Some flash based drives will even report this value in SMART, the amount of the over-provisioned space that has been used. Modern QLC has very low write endurance so those drives need to have spare space to use when it starts to wear out.

The intro video for that app is one of the best I’ve seen in explaining quickly the value proposition of the software. Many websites for software use so many buzzwords or marketing language as to not effectively communicate the value of the

I ride a motorcycle and rely on voice commands to interact with my phone since I keep it in my pocket. Siri’s most common response to me: “You have to unlock your iPhone to do that”. Not helpful.
