Next in line is Microsoft because the transparency effects in the upcoming Windows 11 do not actually make computer screens transparent as one might expect from windows. The focus seems to be the idea that Google knew about misconceptions a

This is true, and Qualcomm vulnerabilities have been some of the worst. This makes Google’s shift to custom silicon exciting if they’ll commit to long-term support. We should start thinking of the value of phones in terms of cost per suppor

I love the modular laptop concept, but not for ports. For those who don’t want them hanging, these are perfectly color matched, made of the same kind of aluminum as the Air, and sit flush. I prefer it to having extra bulk to the base laptop

It's ironic that unofficial builds have been able to support these devices so much longer than their makers. LineageOS has done great things. And Amazon has shown that longer support is possible. The Kindle Fire HDX, released on Septem

This seems to imply that in the near future our weather models will become useless, but we won’t know when it has happened. Rohde’s Uncertainty Principle.

I believe this is the original version: "When doing your training under a tree in the forest or out in the open, you will not find a privy already built. So, using water from some convenient valley stream or river, clean yourself off

So now we finally know that 2025 will be the year of the Linux desktop. There will be no more supported Windows version for older hardware, and Microsoft's love for Linux will finally blossom into forcing migration for millions of comp

Full GUI support is available now in preview, so by the time Windows 11 launches, it should be ready for mainstream support. It uses Wayland and RDP natively. I haven't seen any announcement of if this will be used for the Android supp

In the traditional relationship, the student is begging the teacher. In general, the person making an argument is begging you to accept their point instead of arguing it. The question is the point of contention. If we are arguing about Wind

The strange thing about all this is that my experience has been completely opposite of how this is described. Fast, easy testing was available right away. The labs seem to have had this working perfectly from the beginning of the pandemic.

Is this inherent to all people, or is behavior reinforced by the way the problem is presented? Those first two sentences seem to indicate different possibilities. This article frames motivation as based on either a positive or negative self

The strangest part is that they didn’t fully replace the behavior of the old version. If you place the OS in kiosk mode when the new Edge is installed and try to run a browser, it just goes into a loop trying to load the old one and blockin

Microsoft is over 163,000 people. While I don't doubt that executives tend to be motivated by profit, I doubt that everyone shares a singular focus on it. Someone in charge of an open source project at Microsoft today might have been w

Wouldn't this be something like a "Kevin Bacon" game of tech giants? Anyone is only a certain number of degrees of separation away from any company in an interconnected world. I could find a very obscure company and show that

This almost reads like a parody to me. The author was introduced to alternatives for just about everything they used the tech giant services for, and therefore, living without their services was impossible. The issue that alternatives are h

According to the statement, it doesn't require that the information was "hacked." It's only used as an example of something they would ban. It also doesn't limit it to one country. If the information would interfere

Contrast this to where Mozilla is with their money and management structure. I would consider KDE to be a huge success.

Another interesting point of comparison is that data limits on a VPS like DigitalOcean are $5/month/terabyte, and this includes all other aspects of renting the VPS as well. There are also MVNOs that cost less than $15/month

Anyway, on the topic, none of the reasons presented in the article seem compelling. Government regulation should step in when consumers have no choice but to use something that has achieved a monopoly, and the payment networks mentioned do

I still wonder why people don't get tired of reducing every discussion to "is x good or bad?" Why should everything need to be categorized in such a way, and why would this be the most important aspect of any analysis? It see

It’s not a certain conclusion, but there is always a part of the population that will be disinterested in politics. From what I’ve seen, interest hit a low point in the 1990s before the Internet caught on. That politically disinterested pe

I think the most useful comparison would be to judge it against expenses, since not all businesses would need the same amount of loans. The closest related statistic I could find is that all minority-owned businesses generate around 3% of r
