Clearly not Apple's.

That's right. It's not the native Apple apps that are the problem. Safari, iWork, Logic, even Final Cut run perfectly fine in 8Gb if you adjust your expectations (if you want to process 8K video you probably need more). It's

Can you share any experiences with the driver boards? From what I've seen it looks a bit janky with wires sticking out of the old iMacs chassis and a very old school on screen display. Is the driver board stable? No overheating or sign

Of course it was a decision by Apple, but I'm not really sure it's that 'tricky'. There are multiple ways to upgrade storage: since Macs retain the value quite a long time compared to PCs, if you really want everything i

Those are all apps running in the cloud. I meant the classic Windows AD company LAN like solutions where the clients, server and network are tightly coupled.

I don't see Microsoft backing down from their SaaS push: it's necessary for authentication and authorization in all their Office 365 (or whatever it's called now) applications, also on platforms not running Microsoft clients.

Active directory is dying along with local computer networks. Microsoft is pushing customers to Entra (formerly Azure Active directory). Modern, hybrid AD is not easy to use and difficult to manage.

Some of the improvements on that site were introduced in Java more than a decade ago. Your attitude is exactly why I don't want to have to deal with the Kotlin ecosystem. The difference between Java and Kotlin in 2026 is negligible and

They still exist, but more as a maker hobby and/or art device than as a 'big printer' like those used for stuff like cartography in the past. A big advantage of plotters is they don't have to carry a pen, but can also (l

BMW is building EVs like any other serious car manufacturer and doesn't show signs of going back and throwing away all those investments. They will have to prove the worth of their mark-up though but I think it's reasonable they a

Depends on the country (I presume you're in the EU). In the Netherlands, there are loads of Geely vehicles (Volvo, Polestar, Lynk&co and the occasional Zeekr) on the road while BYD is relatively rare (except for city busses).

Is it still snappy when you're loading an 1Gb document though? And is it as secure as macOS when opening untrusted content? Lots a bloat are caused by inefficient programming, but not all bloat is useless.

Depends on your system. A few years ago I ran it on a MacBook where scrolling on an empty page took ages. Seems nobody tried it out on a Mac before releasing the port since it was totally unusable. Hopefully it's fixed now, but I would

Don't all game engines have a terrible use:release ratio? How did you determine that ratio for Godot and Unity and does it matter? You can't blame the engine for all occurrences of beginners losing interest in building a game. Whi

You can make up some 'critical defects' for every tool and engine in the universe. So what game engine is perfect for an 'ambitious developer' to use?
