All these talk about waterproofing and I never heard one person decide to actually take advantage of that feature. I am definitely on the cynical side of thinking that it was just marketing spin to justify taking away features to increase p

Androids have become iPhone sheep. That is, whatever iPhone decides to do, they just copy it. I don't know if it is because the business just decide to follow market trends or if the designers are secretly Apple fanboys.

I installed Pop!_OS on my gaming PC. Didn't have to do any fiddling at all. I was so impressed by it that it has replaced my Mac laptop as a development machine at home.

Capitalism, as we have it today is not even a century old. It hasn't had the to probe itself if it can last that long. Calling it the "best" we got is rather short sighted.

I sold my Hackintosh this year to upgrade. Since I didn't want to deal with setting up a Hackintosh again, I decided to go Linux for my development work after finding WSL2 unsatisfactory. I shopped around for Linux distributions and fi
