Those prices seem extremely reasonable. I will be looking at them for my next tv purchase, even though its probably more than a few years off. I just hope they keep the line

I've seen what large unions can do (just search for some of the largest Mexican unions, like the PEMEX one). Any organization of a certain scale and power gets corrupt, including private companies and unions. I strongly believe in unio

I'm into drugs as much as the next guy. Ayahuasca, peyote, and similar things are just hallucigenics. It's all BS from people who don't know what it feels like and link it to spiritualism. Religion might be dead in the 21st c

I've had light issues on every new PC I've had in the past 5 years. Be it the sound card, or the WiFi, or the NIC, or suspend / sleep. I will state all the issues were usually fixed in 6 months to a year as new kernels with i

I've been running Linux ever since Windows 11 was announced, even though I was relatively happy with W10 + WSL. I had tried it quite a few times over the years but had never stuck with it until now, because it all just works... All my

Governments need to start treating open source in a similar manner to academia and research. A grant based system for open source projects of measurable impact. We need to fund those developers so they can continue working on their projects

WSL2 is virtualized and no longer a traditional windows subsystem (and it never really was traditional from what I gather, compared to the OS/2 and Win32 subsystems)

Quite interesting article on the dynamics of launching social networks. They basically try to have every user from a specific community start using the service at the same time, creating strong community wide network effects from launch ins

It makes sense if you look at AMD's reasoning. They state it's intended to be the "World’s Fastest Gaming Processor", so a single chiplet CPU makes sense. It seems this is a bit of a market tester, as they also state tha

If you're ever interested in trying it out again, the MATE desktop environment is an up to date fork of Gnome 2. Most distros should have a version available with it. I believe ubuntu has one.

Those days never left. There's been a ton of TBS games released throughout the years, some of them very very good. It's my most played genre by far. Endless legend, XCom 2, Fallen Enchantress, Age of Wonders 3, Age of Wonders: Pla

VLC can be installed on most smart tvs and has excellent DLNA support. I still use plex but have DLNA as a backup when the internet goes out (better local network connectivity)

I live in Mexico where houses are made out of concrete. A house fire is even worse, because you end up with a structurally unsound concrete shell that has to be demolished (and is quite expensive to do so). On a wooden home you simply rebui

Have you tried Rider? I ditched VS as soon as I found it, but I already used intellij idea for java projects. It works perfectly on Linux.

They have limited international penetration and their platform Most cheap smart tvs come with roku OS. I wouldn't call that limited penetration.

just as going from 98% effectiveness to 99% effectiveness halves your risk (you go from 2% chance of falling ill to 1%) its a common concept in games in which armor follows a linear formula (each point of armor is more effective than the la

Have you used dotnet core lately? From 3.1 and onwards? The ecosystem (both tools and libraries) is quite nice, and C# is great and getting better (can't wait until built in sum types) It's honestly one of the most enjoyable devel

I've lately become convinced of the same thing. An idea i've had is instituting some sort of digital marketing tax (which doesn't reach consumers directly) and using the money raised to directly fund open source projects (esp

While WSL2 makes it no longer necessary to switch to Linux, I've seen a ton of people making the switch due to Windows 11. Most things just work, better than on Windows. I just switched a few months ago (after having tried it n times o

That's exactly my fear with these types of regulations. They severely limit innovation. I'd much prefer the manufacturers themselves to decide on the standard, force them to if you have to (likewise banning non compliant devices),

When .net core came out and we decided to move to Linux, we asked our devs if they were familiar with a specific distro. All of the ones who had used Linux were familiar with Ubuntu, less than 10% had tried fedora. We made the decision the

Unpopular opinion but... most of them are more than good enough. .net with C#, java (though I'd probably use kotlin), typescript, and go are the most popular ones and they will all do whatever you need with pretty great performance if

Except for Wayland, and KDE stuttering. I have an AMD and an Nvidia PC, both running Manjaro. AMD is really much less problematic than Nvidia for Linux.

You can absolutely install updates. It's what I run as a second OS for very very few games and graphics editing (unregistered with watermark)
