Yes, but at least there are a decent amount of font 'connoisseurs' here ;)

I have to zoom in to really notice that. But both the jpg and webp have distortion - webp slightly more. Both have difficulty with edges.

No everyone cares that much about how their phones look or want to have huge amounts of storage. If you're in it for the long run (6-8 years of support so why not) the faster CPU will be useful while the slower Androids will become int

I'm on a 27" 4K IPS screen here and have to squint/zoom in to see the difference the author is writing about. While it's nice some people really care for the best result I think most people aren't going to notice or

It's more to do with the speed of writing. While the last generations of CD writers got '48x' speeds the quality of the media is less when written at such a high speed. I remember a C!T magazine test years ago where they stat

Maybe they only use the log4j test script ;) Or maybe someone had to run some scanning tool which reported 'no vulnerabilities'. Exploiting log4j requires logging to be influenced by user input. Even if an application includes a v

Welcome in the world of enterprise software where you don't get to choose what software you use and your company doesn't care.

Yeah, but when I last installed an HP printer with AirPrint support it wouldn't print unless I set it up, preferably with an app that somehow was very interested in my contact information and GPS location...

I bought the 'Chordion' iOS app years ago. Plays better than the old Omnichord I have and can sound very much like one. And has MIDI out ;)

Compatibility didn't matter as much because you couldn't count on people having either a Zip drive or an LS-120. Iomega had the solution: a portable version of the Zip drive that connected to the parallel (printer) port. That thin

I don't think it's impossible to do that, it's just not written by anyone yet. There could be an extension to the compositor that would give your application the ability to add those gimmicks if the user chooses to allow that

Maybe it's better the code is multithreaded so stuff doesn't block? 25 threads are par for the course in Java applications. The GC alone has a few and Java Swing probably paints the application asynchronously. Then you still need

Exceeding a speed limit by a few mph will not land you in jail or cost you thousands of dollars in fines in most parts of the world. Using torrents is some kind of reverse lottery: download an illegally shared movie (or for that matter: use

The flicker was not that bad on CRT TV's of the time (which had very long phosphor decay times). I still own a few 2600s and a lot of games including Pac Mac which is of course not the same as the arcade version but more of a simplifie

Bad quality control is just one of the factors in the 1983 video game crash. PC games also became popular later and being able to freely install any game from any publisher you like hasn't killed the platform. The amount of crap on app

And by 'just getting the torrent' they have a chance of getting a big fine. In lots of countries, there are 'anti piracy' groups trying to lobby for stupid stuff like levies on storage media (because piracy) and catching

I don't think others were not willing to hire female designers; some Infocom games from that time also had female authors. I think it's more to do with the time they started. Somewhere during the 80s the 'white male nerd&#x27

Why isn't it enough to force manufacturers to guarantee their products minimally work for 10(?) years for reasonable cost if longevity is your chief concern?

You know you can't just shove an extra port on everything? Besides, you'd have to draw the line somewhere. If every component has to be replaceable and a standard connector lots of (especially) small hardware is impossible to make

Most clients using client side rendering which uses an awful amount of bandwidth and performs bad compared to VNC/RDP is not my idea of 'fine'. Especially not if it's used to justify opposing a better solution.

It was also the awful amount of indirection of X(Free86/org) which made sure you had to jump through hoops to get anything on the screen. Even with accelerated hardware X doesn't feel as fast as Windows/macOS due to the insan

There's a certain expectation about a 36K car that will not be met by 'simple' parts. The V40 had a digital dash option, which almost every buyer took because it makes the car feel less outdated and more easy to resell. We al
