It's a genre that keeps fascinating people who like that genre - what possibly twisted mind could do such horrible things? It's indeed an often taken and explored trope of fiction, certainly not for everyone. Also all of the Mafi

Many instances of media are giving a spin on horrible historical events for the sake of entertainment. These are never meant to be "tasteful". Does Wolfenstein condone the holocaust? All the Dracula books and movies make Vlad III

How did you come to this conclusion? In Germany survey after survey shows some deep mistrust. Between 40%-60% depending on where and how the survey took place describe mainstream media as "not trustworthy", whilst a certain survey

They are where form and contour matters, which you can't always deduce from a orthographic 3 Panel view. In my current case the form and thickness variation of nerves in Parkinson's patients is looked at and analyzed. Since nerve

This is very interesting, the amount of rendering complexity they pull from volume data is nothing short of impressive. Having never ventured beyond Orthogonal projections for pseudo 3D in my work, this is some fresh air. But it's rath

Lovely news! This is my next CPU after many years of my trusty FX8350@4.8 GHz. Last time I waited for the second revision of the architecture to avoid the usual launch hurdles. Christmas is apparently coming in April this year.

Ye, it is not as smooth in scrolling as GMaps, though more feature rich. If this bothers you, there is an app called Maps.Me. it is minimalistic, has smooth scrolling like Gmaps but not as feature rich as OSMand and has a non-free (as in fr

On Android there is OSMand and Openstreetmap in general. The only problem being that address search is not great and there is no context search. You can get an app called AddresstoGPS, which anonymously queries Google's search and let&

True, it's a bit of a fight to go full open source on android, but in recent months this got easier. Many apps that replace the whole google apps suite have been updated to be a great alternative, sometimes better. Also F-Droid got a

Going lineage OS with F-Droid for your APP needs has been quite the positive experience for me. Everything has a nice FLOSS alternative, that is sometimes better than the Google-App equivalent and the newly revamped F-Droid works great. If

There are great guides on how to lower power consumption by turning HDMI off, under clocking, even going as far as turning off the status LEDs. Killing off many of the autostarting services in raspbian or not using raspbian in the first pla

To be fair, the Source of the benchmarks is Intel itself, aka the one place you should not take the numbers from due to conflict of interest, no matter if they actually are accurate or not.

The screens used don't support variable refresh rate and double buffer everything. If you drop below 90fps you are getting a 45fps lock with Asynchronous Warp cheating Frames to remain at 90hz. If you aim for 60 you get 45. The Async W

I urge you to read the "Wahlprogramm" with Google translate, the legal text that defines what a party stands for in this election, it's ~70 pages for each party, but there is a summary for every topic. http://www.b
