It already works quite well with current Windows 10, the true nightmare was before Windows 10, or maybe with one of the earlier versions. But there was another big improvement with Windows 11.

Windows 10 EOL is coming in October '25. So either it's replacing the hardware or running Windows 11 on unsupported CPUs. Or not running Windows at all.

Technically Windows 11 is an update of Windows 10. Look at the version number. It's 10.0.x.x. And seriously, nobody ever promised there will be updates for old hardware for eternity.

Even with most unsupported CPUs you can upgrade to Windows 11. (edit: I think everything newer than 1st gen Intel core is still working) And there is not one piece of software I know of, that promises infinite support time. Windows 10 keeps

There is a decade old rule: don't upgrade to the next windows version before the first Service Pack is released.

Maybe unexpected: I agree One of the biggest improvement for me was improved multi monitor and multi-DPI/PPI support. Being able to just put two different monitors next to each other and moving windows between them works. They just ado

For me it was an overall improvement over Windows 10. Every new release of every software has some drawbacks, but I got over getting upset about those little details. I just try to find new solutions, if old ones stop working.

Companies, free OEM licenses, and habit. It's not a bad OS, I'm thinking more and more about moving to Linux, but Windows 11 is fine for me and has the broadest compatibility. There is nothing that doesn't work with Windows,

I wouldn't call X-Elon-Twitter a success. It was more like not a complete failure.

Throw out and rewrite can work. If you know that the old code base is beyond repair, you know how to rewrite it and are able to estimate it correctly. What often happens is a rewrite that keeps the same mistakes as the original product (eit

Especially in Europe there are many locations that don't make a lot of progress. Some locations are in construction for over a year now, others just got announced and never started. It's mostly a problem with getting permits and c

In Europe they are. All new chargers in Europe use the CCS2 standard, and teslas have a CCS2 socket. NACS is not suitable for Europe, because of three phase AC charging (which makes home charging much easier/faster than in the US). I t

I had the same conclusion after evaluating those open source PaaS tools. It just doesn't feel right for me. For small scale apps it's enough to spin up one or two VMs and run some containers with docker-compose (or just use Vercel

Even distribution would fix the problem. If grading has a subjective component, there will always be deviations from the "correct" grade. If those patterns are randomly distributed over all students, their grade averages will be c

Thanks, that's a perfect summary of the problem and the reasons why the BSD license was picked. It's perfectly fine though to disagree and do it differently.

> I would never contribute to commercially backed, freely licensed project unless I was being paid. I understand that position, but I think it depends on a few more factors.

A lot of younger folks probably never heard of XFree86 or OpenOffice.org. In a few years Terraform and now Redis might end up just like them.
858.
by andix 3y ago
Once the big cloud providers start to charge extra for Redis over Valkey in a few months everybody will know. Valkey just released their first stable version 3 days ago. So it might take another week or two until it's popular ;)

That's the decade old philosophical fight about what to consider free software. GPL/GNU vs BSD. I think both opinions are fine, if you don't want your contributions to end up in a commercial product, you can't contribute

by andix 3y ago
This is only half true in my opinion. Only future versions will be non-free, all the contributions before the license change stay free and can be forked. Any project with a permissive license (BSD/MIT) can always be made into a commerc

I would personally never contribute to a project with non-free license without getting paid. It's basically working for a company without pay.

Then don't use insecure services. I think in the EU sms only password reset indirectly violates data privacy laws (not securing private data with industry standards).
863.
by andix 3y ago
Easy solution: Don't use SMS for password recovery. SMS might even be okay for 2FA, but it must always be the second factor. "Forgot my password" -> SMS code -> new password is just 1FA. Using SMS as the only factor is

Thanks for the explanation! This sounds like the right use case to use something more complex. I’m always hesitant to add additional technology to the stack if it doesn’t provide a bullet proof benefit. A lot of use cases are perfectly fine

What's your added value in comparison to using plain Postgres, for example with the CloudnativePG operator for k8s?

Is there already a list of distributions that included the affected versions in non-prereelase channels?

Maybe it’s a cultural thing. Where I live it’s forbidden to build a wall around your garden. Just a small fence is allowed ;)

I think the position oft the European Union is a good approach. It classifies companies like apple not as a "monopoly" but as a "gate keeper". I don't have a very deep understanding of that topic, but it's poss

I don't think a car wash is a very good place to wash money, but it's a great joke for a tv show.
