You can't complain without suggesting improvements, that's not constructive criticism. So what is the alternative here? All other brands have the same issue, not just phone manufacturers but other product and service providers too

Does it feel "right" giving money to a company that would side with the American killings of civilians for oil and profit? Just trying to understand how morals work.

Potentially not secure is not the same as definitely not secure. OSS is also potentially not secure. I don't understand these comments. They seem like they were written by semi-literate adolescents.

So Apple iOS, Microsoft Windows, Amazon FireOS, Cisco IOS, Netapp ONTAP... they are all "not secure" because they are not OSS?

I switched to Opera because Firefox forces invasive updates that require a forced restart. For someone who likes to keep a web browser running for a long time and put their laptop to sleep rather than shutdown, that is not acceptable. I use

Well this seems like an actual case of racism (as opposed to nonsense that's been floating around in the last few years). You can't say things like "black name" and use it in any context as if it was a scientific fact yo

It gets 10/10 for being replaceable. That's it. I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 13s that has slotted RAM and same spec as Framework's lowest model and it cost me £600 three years ago, this one costs $1000 (or £750) without tax. See

I read about 6-8 books at any time and I'm having a problem forcing myself to focus on one book. I'm also enrolled in about 5 different online courses trying to learn everything. I hardly get anything done. I used to be able to &q

I agree. An ideal is far from reality. I like to get deep into low level stuff, but my employer doesn't care if I understand how a system call works or whether we can save x % of y by spending z time on performance profiling that requi

Form factor is completely irrelevant since Steam Deck is advertised as a computer and not a console. Which is how I would use it; plug it into a monitor and use it as a desktop PC with keyboard and mouse. That's why I asked what does i

I suppose you're dumb; not because you're functionally illiterate but because it's clear that a laptop is both handheld and portable as much as Steam Deck.

It's actually the opposite of what you wrote. Minimum wage is precisely "minimum standard of living", not a "minimum value job". There's no such thing as a standardised minimum wage for various types of job, ev

That's really good news, I hope it will calm down some people who were sceptical at first. I use Proton Mail for my tier 1 accounts such as banking, payment processors, tax etc. It played a big role when I abandoned Google services and

Perhaps when the US and its allies withdraw troops from the Middle East, they can move them to Taiwan to protect it from China.

This raises an issue of trolling. What prevents developers to generate "inappropriate" code to feed it to this algorithm the same way they did with the Microsoft Chat bot for example? That will surely reflect on the quality of cod

I would like to know this too. I understand that GitHub is a private company and you have to accept their T&C, but surely they aren't allowed to use source code found elsewhere on the internet to train their ML models without askin

I agree. It seems to me that even after the allegations against Assange were proven wrong, people still refuse to accept his innocence in this case and try to find something else to blame him for. As when you're proven wrong in an argu

Which coffee "research" is this so far in the last year? One time it's bad for you, then it's good for you. Then it's bad for you again, then it's good for you.
