   I made a vendor run their buggy and slow software on a Sparc 20 against their strenuous complaints to just let them have an Ultra, but when they eventually did optimize their software to run efficiently (on the 20) it helped set the company

   I don't think Apple was the first to use the magnets to align the phone to the charger. I think I had a nexus 5 that had the magnets in the phone and google Qi charger -- that would perfectly align the phone and charger.

   I’ve been doing this since 2005 with just my NAS and mediamonkey or foobar2000. Additionally, Sonos can index the NAS directly over SMB, although they have not really put much effort into fixing bugs in their implementation it still works w

   It’s not dubious but it’s not equal justice. The head of the IMF, Christine Lagarde, was found guilty of transferring €403 million from EU taxpayers to a certain tycoon, but she did not receive a verdict and now runs the ECB.

    Do they? We generally don’t give noncitizens the right to own a gun in the us, so clearly we are selective about applying the 2nd amendment protection. The 4th may need adjudication.

    Here in the US we have hot water tanks that store 30 - 75 gallons. Not sure I would drink it without filtering though.... You can also fill up the bathtub if you know beforehand....

    You have a choice to go out or not but the example of the wedding is a given obligation, so the apples-apples comparison would be "if you had to go outside, would a 50-50 chance of being shot change anything"

    Sleep mode is not a problem but I tend to use hibernate, which is difficult to get to work under Ubuntu. I think it requires a dedicated encrypted swap -- it's all manual steps and configuration.

    Does windows classic (open) shell not work on Windows 11? I use it all the time on 10 and have the task bar on the right side.

    https://lobste.rs seems to still have technical focus. The issue I have with the comments is that a lot of them don't go into technical issues per se, and are not based on first hand information. What would be useful is if

    That is factually incorrect. Congress did not codify USAID as an independent agency in 1998. It reaffirmed and clarified its role. The foreign affairs reform and restructuring act of 1998 left USAID a separately managed and operationally i

    My source for what? Marco Rubio (head of the state department) stated that they refused to audited. So did other congressmen. https://x.com/cspan/status/1886473339201360210 Do you disagree with what he says in th

    Totally appropriate. Everytime congress would ask USAID for information on their spending or audit what they were doing, they would just ignore the requests and say they were apolitical. They're not apolitical. The state department is
