   For what it's worth, for security reasons, OpenBSD disables hyperthreading by default.

   For work, Windows is not it for me anyone; it's a constant and distracting cesspool of ads for Microsoft services. In contrast, KDE wins here, by far, and not just because it's not distracting. As for night time, I don't wan

   I'm impressed by the quality of programs that are coming out of the KDE ecosystem. While KDE is known for its desktop environment, many of the applications that come out of this organization are simply awesome.

   I don't know how it compares, but my recent AMD ThinkPad uses about 1% of the battery per hour while in "modern standby." I figure I have at least three and up to 4 days of being unplugged before it's forced to shut down

    Kotlin is at 9% and Java developers, at 30% here, could easily switch over.

    As a non-EU citizen that is affected by this, I find the entire idea stupid and they're annoying as heck. Every website I go to has a stupid cookie banner. It's beyond ridiculous. This should be a simple setting in the browser tha

    Wow. Another write-up on how Firefox is planning on monetizing. How about a write-up on how Firefox plans to stay competitive and integrate/innovate on some of the best features from competing browsers?

    I love OpenBSD, but can't do it; there is too much in Linux that allows for better battery life, especially on more modern hardware.

    I couldn't agree with you more; the native GUI tools are leaps and bounds better than their lumbering web counterparts.

    Windows Admin Center was created because everyone wanted to manage Windows from a web browser. The current result is it works, but it's far from an optimal GUI solution for managing Windows machines.

    If you're doing Windows administration, PowerShell is a must; the Windows GUI is too limiting.

    Yeah, I noticed these t64 versions. Do you know if these t64 versions will forever have t64 in the package name? Or will they, one day, revert to their previous package names with the t64 removed?

    The fact of the matter is the tax code is stupidly complex for no good reason. It's used to promote policy and benefits the wealthy (Warren Buffett has noted this numerous times). That's it. If the focus was on collecting taxes it

    LEDs are advertised to have amazing lifespans, but I haven't seen that in real life. The LEDs I purchase tend to last two or three times longer than an incandescent bulb, but sometimes I don't even get that much.
