I understand the point you are trying to make, but I disagree with it. MacOS doesn’t claim to work on other hardware, Linux does. If System76 said PopOS only works on their hardware, it would be fair to only evaluate it on their hardware. W

The author seems to not realize the season are about temperature not about sunlight . If you align the season to northern hemisphere temperatures, where the first week of August is usually the hottest, they make sense.

Per this reddit thread, it appears that cpuid.com is redirecting CPU-Z and HWMonitor downloads to a third party URL and antivirus identifies it as a virus.

Yes. They haven't had a problem implementing their own specific regulations before - like alternative app store requirements on iOS or the European editions of Windows.

If I understand them correctly, the proposals are quite different. The US is effectively requiring the implementation of a third party verification service at computer set-up. The EUs approach validates an existing cryptographic identity th

This isn’t a contest for most just or most evil. Iran has committed horrible atrocities. The US’s approach to this war has been completely wrong and they are threatening war crimes. Everyone sucks here.

I think not talking about it skews the conversation towards incorrect remedies - the discourse is about what has changed about the economy, communities, family life, etc, that makes people want fewer kids and then trying to derive solutions

I tend to think people who argue about the economics or community issues tend to miss the forest for the trees. For the most part, other than biological drive , having kids is stupid. The systems that most people complain about failing - m

Sorry, I disagree here. For the specific flow I'm talking about - monthly recurring payments - the UX is about as highly optimized for success as it gets. There are ways to do it via the web, on the phone with a bot, bill pay in your o

Yes but no. Do you know how many people call support in legacy industries, ignore the voice prompt, and demand to speak to a person to pay their recurring, same-cost-every-month bill? It is honestly shocking. There are legitimate support ca

I wonder if you could set it as a sensor for Home Assistant, then we could build our own smart home automations outside of the app instead of you needing to do anything.

I agree, however the law must be applied uniformly and consistently for an even playing field. It is not, which allows the government to “pick” winners and losers via selective prosecution. The whole situation has been bungled so badly.
