My Dell Ultrasharp 4K also doesn't flicker and has DSC enabled according to the on screen menu. At work there are a few old Iiyama 4K screens that flicker though, but I don't know if they even understand DSC.

Of course people have different hearing, but the audiophile market is overflowing with snake-oil stuff like 'oxygen free copper' cables to 'acoustic resonator discs'. Nobody's proven any of that stuff results in bet

2010 was the year Volvo ownership went to Geely, so your xc60 was designed and built under Ford ownership. The xc60 is a big, expensive SUV (at least for us EU residents) so presumably there should be a quality engine in there. Some smaller

Of course programs will be worse when non-programmers are in charge of programming. That doesn't mean they shouldn't but lots of indie game attempts fail because the programmer (educated or not) doesn't have a clue about when

The idea you have to pick between reasonable engineering and fun is a false dichotomy. Of course not every game will have the time budget to fix every unintended feature but your example game would have been more enjoyable (especially for t

According to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy this would take an AI 10 million years. Seems like we're stuck with '42' for a while ;)

Libre/OpenOffice is a C++ application which uses an homegrown cross-platform GUI toolkit. There were only some minor components written in Java (like mail merge), and I believe LibreOffice has replaced some of them with native code.

Computers were a luxury item then, beside that lots of people had no idea what to do with one too. Only the most computer curious people would spend around $900 (inflation corrected) on a fancy calculator ;)

It was manufactured to be as cheap as possible. There were the plus editions that had much better keys.

Seems like the approach Apple is taking by soldering storage directly on the mainboard or using proprietary modules like in the Mac mini.

A buggy firmware will brick an SSD and block every option for recovering at least part of the data.

To me it screams more like an organization not wanting to assume blame and risk paying for their errors.

Doesn't really matter if you're using an old Spring version with the old Java version. Spring offers enterprise support for Spring framework 5 which still supports Java 8. But organizations still using Java 8 will most likely use

I don't think kernel-level anti-cheat is a big problem on company managed PCs.

Nintendo is also becoming worse. Some Switch 2 games are so big you need to juggle with the internal storage and expansion SD express cards above 256Gb are simply unobtainable or priced outrageously. While you can obviously delete and redow

How much are you willing to donate before concluding it's more efficient to just buy a new MacBook? Even the cheapest models now are faster, more energy efficient and more secure. You don't have to throw the old one away if you ca

The safeguard of being able to get a refund for a non-working app is not part of the operating system, but belongs to the app store.

No, those apps should be regulated far more than Apple is because they cause much more damage than purely economical. But for the time being I don't mind Apple chipping away at their privacy invading competitors.

The Apple II used single-sided floppy disks so it was possible to insert a double sided disk upside-down to story data on the other side. If the other side contains other data it should be easy to detect the disk was inserted upside down ju

Ok, what do you make of this then? https://support.apple.com/en-us/122712 While not perfect, they claim to do security checks and verify some privacy choices. So they do something at least. As a consumer I can see valu

I think they prefer to have Apple accountable for everything that happens on Apple devices too. You can't pressure Apple into removing an app when they have to give up the only option to enforce that.

If the entire stack would be open sourced there would be ports, but would there be a market for macOS devices without the optimized power management and device integration Apple offers now? I'm still hoping some other integrated softwa
