I enjoy reading the review of $10,000 switches the same way I enjoy reading the reviews of a McLaren or a Ferrari in my favourite car magazine. Sure I'll never be able to afford one, but it's good to know what technology exists ou

As an Australian here, I just had my mind blown that someone in the anglosphere didn't know "Murdoch". Murdoch is more than Fox News. Just ask any Australian or Brit .

I've recently bought two minisforum PCs on Amazon. I fully expected the SSD to be garbage and to throw them out. To my surprise, they were decent-ish Kingston TLC PCIE 4.0 SSDs. Definitely not the cheapest SSD on the market.

We don't have tax free weekends in Australia but fresh produce is also exempt from GST (our version of VAT). Anything that has had any "processing" done on it incurs GST though, so oranges are tax free but orange juice is not

Many ways to do that on Android. NewPipe or its fork Tubular, Clipious, LibreTube, or host a local instance of Invidious or ViewTube and access them using the browser. F-Droid and the ability to still run software outside of Google's w

Performance per Watt was lost by Intel with the introduction of the original Epyc in 2017. AMD overtook in outright performance with Zen 2 in 2019 and hasn't looked back.

haha yeah nah. This needs a lot more additional context and caveats. If I'm working on increasing my deadlift's 1rm, doesn't matter if I practice deadlifting for 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, but never go above 10% of my cu

IE 5.5 for OS X was by far the most standard compliant browser of its time. It supported more CSS than either NN 4.x or IE 5 for Windows. Nothing came to surpass it until Mozilla 1.0 and even then it wasn't a slam dunk.

I think of browsers these days on par with OSes. I mean, they provide a runtime to execute binary code (wasm). They do process management and scheduling. They do a lot of things which up until 15 years ago, we thought bongs to the realm of

It should be noted that Eric Schmidt sat on the board of the Economist Group for a very long time. He has recently given his seat to Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of DeepMind, also of Google. https://www.economistgroup.com/esg&#x2F

Back in the day they did. I checked handbrake but now there's nothing specific about DVD compatibility there. I could have picked something like Super HQ 576p, and there's a good chance that would have sufficed, but old DVD player

When? For some of us, it was 1994, the eternal September. For some of us, it was when Aaron Swartz left us. For some of us, it was when Google killed Google Reader (in hindsight, the turning point of Google becoming evil). For some others,

I feel so conflicted about this. On the one hand, I completely agree with Robyn Speer. The open web is dead, and the web is in a really sad state. The other day I decided to publish my personal blog on gopher. Just cause, there's a lot

Around 15 or so years ago, when a lot of projects were moving from cvs/mailing lists to git, there were a plethora of perl scripts and other tools which automatically took the code and sent the commit to git, usually taking a "rul

It's so interesting how Australia went the other way and actually banned the use of any government-issued ID number as a primary identifier by any organisation other than the government department which issued that ID number. In the 80

I'd argue that OS X (to use the nomenclature of the time) 10.0 was alpha quality software, and even 10.1 was at best what we now would consider beta software. OS X was not usable until 10.2 (and that's when many major software suc
