two thoughts a) where does it say this? it says the machine will have 16 GB of ram, nothing about possible bonus upgrades one might be able to get (though maybe you followed some links in the article) b) even if 16 GB is max: whoever it is

I am not yet fortunate enough of having been published, but I think the number of authors in any position to "demand a title" is extremely limited, they are glad about being published at all. If a publisher says "I think this

I read 4 or 5 books at a time usually. There is no problem if they are in 2 to 3 different languages, and span across multiple genres (historical, biography, non-fiction, fiction), he already lost me at "think about the title, I know i

Wrong, or at the least misleading. What do you mean by 'maintain' here? Because Arch is trying to stay on the bleeding edge side of things in a reasonable manner and is rolling release, they almost stay 1:1 with upstream, "ma

Moderators can of course change the title, I don't think it's misleading and I was not trying to be. I guess 'reports' could be changed into 'finds' and it could be mentioned that it was found 'in its Linu

I am trying not to be too negative, but if I were to summarize the article: TikTok wants positive PR and describes its algorithms as being 'generic' in an attempt to counter allegations that they have an agenda. That's pretty

Context: many devices (affecting multiple blu ray players and home cinema models by Samsung) are stuck in a reboot loop since around Friday ; it's questionable if the situation can be fixed in any straightforward manner and not yet cle

This is absurd and really funny, well meant advice could basically be: 'if they don't make it easy to cancel the service, just stop the payment, wait for the debt collectors, reason with them instead of your provider, they treat

Makes sense ; where I come from direct debit is also widely used for such matters. Wouldn't it be awesome if when you stop paying it would simply automatically cancel the contracts within a given time period, no questions asked, no nee

So they can't charge you but will still try to 'collect' and ruin your credit rating I suppose? Well, doesn't solve a lot then.

I remember once seeing a commercial for an 'online virtual credit card' website/company? Quick online search tells me there are many providers out there. As far as I know you can create virtual credit cards on the fly and use

I doubt a 'standard' how to do it can be independently developed and implemented. I use a non web-based password manager, a backup strategy that makes sense, and have a secure setup with regard to my threat level. And with regards

It's open source, so of course it's 'possible', but if it's difficult to do and another project actually fully supports my use case, documents it, allows questions on IRC and mailing lists with regards to it... the

I fear it being 'GNU' they will shoot themselves in the foot somehow. Bad marketing, unnecessarily geeky and childish nomenclature, GPLv3 and make it all free software, no proprietary drivers, hard to get proprietary third party s

Thank you for this well written non-inflammatory response, I really appreciate it. I can see your point, but I guess we just have a different idea 'how high' sensitivity should be. Obviously you don't name something in progra

Look, I think if you propose a change to a long-standing naming convention it's you who should make the case, and I find the case to be weak. I don't think calling it 'bitching and moaning' is warranted. And if all code
