I think they mean more why it wasn't called something like "haveibeenowned.com" or "hacked.com". Not that they invented the term "pwned".

Raspbian existed well before ARMv6 support dropped off. It's been their main distro from the outset, but mainstream distros with ARM builds only removed support for ARMv6 in the last 1-3 years (depending on distro).

That was a major component, but a few of the big names would still have published with Nintendo if they didn't spit in their faces by giving first-party dev teams such a heavy focus at the expense of second and (especially) third party

While I definitely won't have insterest in these fridges, some of them (I'm thinking the Samsung) scan your fridges contents and let you know what's about to run out (milk, eggs, etc) for the next time you do a run. Still not

People seem to forget that GCC was flopping around on C++11 for a long while until clang started pushing things along. Not to say they've fallen behind, just that a competitor clearly kicked things back into gear. Same as Firefox and W

For sure, this seems super suspect. Unless they mean Chilean Pesos, but that would seem far too low.

Workbench had a very limited hardware it supported. Linux Kernel supports 1000x as many pieces of hardware from different CPU configurations, all the way to the most random USB/Firewire devices. Like, software bloat is totally a thing,

Their prime competitive advantage is their product and quality:cost ratio. For a product company, at least. If your business' primary competitive advantage is that it gets ICs for 1c less/per thousand, your business is built on sh

The idea that someone could hide parts/manufacturing costs is ridiculous on its face. You, as a consumer, can get a general BOM for most any device. It's how we know that the original Beats headphones were "worth" 7-8usd

There are private hospitals all over the world. I would daresay, they're more common than public ones, from a global perspective. In addition, public hospitals still charge for their services, it's just who pays the bill that chan

The only way to win tic-tac-toe consistently is with a double gambit (which the starting player gets an advantage on). E.G. something like: X_X _O_ X_O Problem is, as soon as the other player knows this, every game will end in a
