I wonder if this sort of research is more focused on appealing to companies rather than employees, as I often see averages which are much lower than what can be considered the current market rate. Therefore research like this gives companie

There's also a third irrational option, with another gamestop style buying spree lifting the share price up.

I too first thought this had something to do with RED Engine 4 from CDPR. Unfortunately CDPR's latest RED Engine 4 will not be released as open source in the forseeable future, it's basically dead and locked away, and will probabl

I was being sarcastic with that, should have written it as: you're "safe" from legal repercussions.

"For entertainment only" is such a cop-out, do whatever dangerous thing and show step by step instructions but then slap on a "for entertainment only" on it so you're safe from legal repecussions.

Well yeah, if you're on the street in Russia and the police in full military gear ask you to unlock your phone, I'd like to say I would resist and decline but I doubt it.

Yeah, I really wanted to ditch owning a phone at all when my last one broke but I realised that too many services require having some sort of authenticator or phone for two factor authentication. Banks literally require having a mobile phon

Not OP but from various laws around the world Police can generally use something physical to unlock your device - your face, your thumb - but they cannot get you to put in your password or pass code without a warrant. Granted this kind of b

I ended up disabling TPM on my computers (in the BIOS) so that they would not try to automatically upgrade me to Windows 11. I'm fine where I am and if Windows 12 comes out (or patches to Windows 11) which fix the issues I'm conce

Having Windows restart itself is a pet peeve of mine, but as long as you have Windows 10 Pro there are some local admin policies you can set to make sure it never restarts while you're logged in. This is the one key thing I do and it p

There are a ton of editors both free and paid for that niche you mentioned. Visual Studio code wasn't even the first one made with Electron, there was one called Atom before it. I have used and continue to use Sublime Text, and at work

Loot boxes should be regulated in the same way as other gambling, so for like poker/slot machines where there's a minimum payout and known fixed odds of winning. They should be age restricted as well, although that doesn't re

In Windows there's a hook on file handle close which AV products use to implement their file scanning. I know this because I did a bunch of reading on the topic after encountering catastrophic halts inside of CloseHandle, deep inside t

There aren't many/any others from what I can see, at least not to GCore's scale. GCore has a CDN, ddos protection, and many points of presence. Probably the best solution unless you want to build and maintain your own servers

Yes, I am bringing the legitimacy of the word "upgrade" into question when changing the operating system from Windows 10 to Windows 11. For me it's a significant decrease in usability and the feature of being able to run some

This is why power users and developers like us should be running with telemetry enabled, so that our actions, the features we use, and the way we use them get accounted for and stop being removed or nerfed into uselessness. Yes I know there

I would say that's because they would prefer the employees to create another project internally than leave and potentially create a competitor or even a more successful service that they'll need to spend billions on to purchase.

Each one of these Raspberry Pi's is more powerful than the first few computers that I've used and owned. So to have a cluster of them feels like 1990's ultimate power!
