I skim the titles of the first 3-4 pages of the main feed (top posts). Then I skim the titles of the first 3-4 pages of "new", maybe more depending on how many are good vs. spammy. I really enjoy both, but if I had to pick it woul

Is it a security problem on a single user gaming computer or a laptop? Generally not. If your production system is managed competently, I'm certain that there are engineers that can assess risk vs. performance and whether spectre and s

The issue is that the owners of a device should have the choice whether they want an OEM quality repair or just "good enough", not Apple. It's just not their position to make this decision for you. The argument will be made t
