Ok, I got a little carried away there. From what I understood from reading the reports on the various crashes, (I don't have a background in aviation so take this with a gigantic pair of tweezers) the crashes could have been prevented

The Boeing 737 design was introduced 50+ years ago and is still used (albeit not in 50 year old planes) today in a multitude of airlines for passenger travel. That said the 737 MAX fuckup is something that neither Boeing, or the many worldw

There are AFS servers for Linux. I don't know if macOS supports NFS shares, but if it does then that should be speedier. That said my Samba server does saturate a gigabit connection with a Windows client. The CPU usage on the server i

Rather than investing in a phone that can record in 8k (if it even exists) I'd try and look into some entry level "proper" cameras. The bigger sensors and better optics should provide a bump in video quality. Mirrorless camer

I think it's because designing good user interfaces is hard and very time consuming (at least for me it certainly is). And generally Linux users are more contempt to put up with inconsistencies and annoyances because many probably don&

I truly do not understand how some people manage to convince themselves to buy such useless and expensive products. I get spending lots of money on quality DACs, amplifiers, speakers, headphones, etc... But some of the products marketed to

Actually I avoid non-free software as much as possible nowadays. My main use for a Windows partition is for occasional gaming and using that odd piece of software that doesn't have a good replacement that runs under Linux. I understand

I'm not playing any online games that require what is especially a rootkit to be installed on my system. This isn't the first time that anti-cheat software made by Riot has taken stuff too far. Anyone remember when they introduced

Maybe you want to play/watch the thousands of Flash games/animations that exist? Use legacy software that depends on Flash? I agree that it's an insecure piece of crap that shouldn't be used in any modern system, but tha

Isn't it known already that a lot of tech journalists on YouTube don't do much besides read a spec sheet while standing in front of a nice background, playing with cool camera gear? Even mainstream channels that I consider decent

This is a problem with propietary software in general. You can't be sure about what it does at all times. It's not a China specific issue.

For starters you could always measure the power consumption that the Pi pulls from the USB power supply. As long as you don't change many variables when comparing software (like plugging in additional peripherals) it should be a decent

You can sideload the apk and activate it using another phone with a valid sim card. Even if it is a feature phone.

If Apple had the user's best interests in mind they could implement a system where if the device detects any component has been tampered with, the user will be alerted during the first boot up and it will require the user to manually a

The lack of cross-play always bugged me. Usually a friend group settles on a particular platform to buy so they can all play together, which is a pain because in a lot of cases that platform is far from ideal for everyone. For example conso

If the Steam Deck gets a large enough user base, Epic will absolutely try to make a native, seamless store for Linux (at least the distribution running on Valve hardware). Hopefully sooner than later because, after all, the more users that

I would love to continue using FF, but on my machine with an Nvidia card ( sigh ) the scrolling in Firefox gets very choppy when using two different browser windows open on the dual monitors. And for some reason this bothers me more than it

Maybe OP meant 22 years of zero maintenance. Even though many houses are way older than 22 years (including the apartment I'm living in now) going more than two decades without something breaking is quite challenging. Granted a lot of

I hope they don't start pushing this shit towards users in the next major windows update. It would go well with the nagging recommendations to use their browser.

The search function in Windows 10 is pathetic. It almost seems like an April fool's joke that was left in place for too long. What is double stupid is that MS already had a working search built into the shell in Windows 7. It's li

This is true. I have used Lineage OS with android 7.1 on a first gen Motorola G phone (that was declared EOL after the Android 5.1 update) and now on a OnePlus 5 with Android 11 (manufacturer dropped support after 10)

Having that badge would give anyone very cool bragging rights about how they wrote software that's running on Mars. It makes perfect sense that NASA used a lot of open source software for this. If some high quality, widely used and tes

I don't think it's completely irrelevant because less power usage means less heat output and a reduction in annoying fan noise.
