That's already the case for the more complicated parts. Also, at least here in the EU, if you want factory warranty you have to follow the dealer schedule and do the necessary replacements.

If those manufacturers want to control the quality you're getting from your appliance you're giving them no other option than to integratie everything with superglue and make all repairs impossible...

While I agree a company like Apple should do better in reporting errors like these I don't share your conclusion that's purely out of malice (and driven by profit) instead of ordinary incompetency (or lack of time, bad management

If you're using JBoss/Wildfly the recommendation is to stick to the LTS. The last JDK supported is 13 since 14 removed some API's and the team is still working to fix it.

If the battery costs 75% of the car does it make sense to try to refurbish it? There are old model S cars on the road with half a million miles on and still usable range. After that kind of mileage I expect the rest of the car to be pretty

Just wondering: if there was a 'right to repair' on computers in the 60's, would Intel have made an integrated microprocessor? I mean: you can't just fix a dead register by replacing it anymore... Lots of electronics ha

I used an N900 for a few years (got one with the early adopter discount when it was released). While the keyboard was miles ahead of all the on-screen stuff at the time I don't think I want to go back to that keyboard from a current de

I don't know if people are oblivious - it's just that there are a lot of perceived benefits for the user of the 'tracking device'. Tracking people is a byproduct of all the services a modern phone offers (due to technica

I've been led around a DC in the Netherlands where they used a separate room for the UPS batteries. Not only because of safety but because the reliability of small rack-mount UPSes really sucks (and you have to match them to the power

Some people pay for Google apps on a custom domain ($12/month exactly), but I don't expect Google to even answer the phone since that's small change for you. At a certain scale (much smaller than Google's, probably alrea

Maybe you shouldn't focus on getting 'the best person' on the correct place, but try to make 'the best process' for evaluating and improving UI/UX and mandate it's followed everywhere. One of the projects

The iMac Pro was always seen as a sort of 'stop gap' solution before the current Mac Pro was launched. If you need the high performance, why not buy a Mac Pro?

Even some kind of 'splitter' for 3d vision like Panasonic had on their handheld videocamera range (VW-CLT2) would work I think...

The 5k iMac was really ahead of it's time in late 2014. I remember reading some technical blog talking about the custom designed driver board for that panel. The 2015 MacBook pro could drive a 5k panel using two displayport cables (som

You're forgetting one factor in this slide to locked-down engines: as a customer I prefer an integrated engine with a significant lower chance of failing so I will not have to work on it or pay someone to fix it.

By strictly adhering to that definition of 'acceptable open computing' you have to disregard about 99,99% of the technology available in the world.

That's a really optimistic view. Try to plug in a new nVidia card when you're running Wayland and see what happens. Also, benchmark an AMD GPU and wonder where the performance you're paying for went. LibreOffice is a big mono

Can confirm this as a Safari user: old tabs are reloaded sometimes. I guess it's related to memory pressure on the system, seems to be a lot more common on iOS (which of course runs on more RAM-constrained devices).

In that case everyone making 1 mistake is 'out'. Seems "cancel culture" is leaking into ops... I was in the room when the CEO told that (one of the nice things about small companies) and have had contact with the person

Tech savvyness and paying attention will not save you when you're bombarded with dark patterns all the time. Even then, I prefer not to be one click away from losing my privacy, money or being bombarded with ads.

Years ago, the company I worked at had a very big production issue which resulted in a customer's database being deleted. Of course, the customer was furious and called the CEO asking for the person responsible to be fired. Calmly, our

If that can happen it's clearly an OS bug. Maybe something like an unstable driver?
