People used to say a lot of nonsense back then. The thing that slowed down XP a lot was ClearType (which was off by default) and the animations. If enabled Windows Classic theme (I forget what it was called) it was as fast as Windows 2000 a

I am not sure about Petrol Engines. However diesels at least they are typically tuned to run anywhere and on differing grades of fuel. However if you get your diesel car remapped you get better power and mileage out of car. I had mine remap

I've been hearing this for years. I've got another machine with a rolling release distro (Arch) and it isn't any better. Until it is more mature I won't be using Wayland. It isn't just the weird bugs. It not being a

Whenever I am reading about something in the vain of "boring tech" they miss the following: 1) The first is that many developers don't understand how to do anything simply. Doing things simply normally means actually thinking

This was my experience during 2020 (companies were being really picky). I ended up temporarily working far below my day rate to pay the bills. It wasn't fun. I got hired for 3 times the amount based on my previous work. No time wasting

People are saying this is Zoom's fault. Maybe it is. However I've given up on Wayland entirely and just gone back to X11. I frequently need to record my screen to show bugs or fixes in features. Most of the open source screen reco
