The motivation was likely some compliance move with the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act according to the TFA. There is no indication that Intel's initial wording was prompted by their own investigations in Xinjiang.

I'm all for cheap devices, but I can't believe they're releasing a new model with a 1366x768 (probably non-IPS) display in 2022...

> So is the position of Intel that slave labour in concentration camps is an acceptable means of production? Maybe their position is that they have not established as a fact that there is slave labour in concentration camps in Xinjiang?

Also, the fact that last update of the blog/progress report linked from the main page dates from 2019Q2 does not give much confidence.

But that possibility (as well as animal origin possibility) is there, regardless of the actual origin of the current pandemic.

That's longer than average, especially for the Netherlands, but it's not unusual. Before COVID, thousands of primary school age children used to commute from Shenzhen to Hong Kong for school every day. That's at least 1.5hr o

Amsterdam is mostly fine, especially out side the inner city ring which is overrun with tourists, but only a few km2, probably the size of 2 or 3 Hyde Parks. I don't understand why you think it's not good for families. We live in

I get the idea, but the differences in weather and/or color filters strike me as a tad manipulative.

Hoog Catharijne is pretty nice these days, I wish we had something comparable in Amsterdam. City centers in the 1980s were not any better in Amsterdam, Rotterdam Den Haag (and I suspect in many other western countries).

Not the OP, but you can attach and join tables from multiple sqlite databases in the same process.

Moreover, companies seem to be increasingly disabling access to USB storage, and/or running everything on remote servers so the laptops are little more than expensive video terminals.

It's not just Japan, we've seen this pattern in various countries in many phases of the pandemic, like the Delta wave in spring India and the recent Omicron wave in South Africa which seems to have peaked. For some reason, we see

It's not available in SELECT (barring some non-standard implementations). That's because SELECT is executed after FROM, WHERE, GROUP BY and HAVING. I've made it a habit to start composing my queries in the logical order firs

I guess the "paradox" or counterintuitive part comes in situations when the price elasticities are such that a 10% efficiency gain (or price cut) would result in >10% increase in demand and hence in final spending. Another part

That's nothing compared to stuff like drivers/support software for HP printers (82MB) or Logitech mouse/keyboard (301MB). These two alone are already bigger than a full Windows 2000 Server iso (370MB).

You got it backwards: Lenovo/IBM never made any swap, though several other manufacturers did. The fn key is still in the same location as when it first appeared in the ThinkPad 300 in 1992. That location was more common in older lapto

The 14-inch MBP with M1 Pro (not Max) burns 69W under full load (including GPU), so it does run through its 70Wh battery in 1 hour and 9 minutes[1]. (The 16-inch Notebookcheck review is not published yet.) [1] https://www.noteboo
