Projects like Linux are "community" projects in the sense that there is not a single company backing it, sure. However, for Linux, only 7.7% of contributions were made by unpaid developers as of this 2016 report[0]. I have a hard

I've ridded a half-decent street bike a summer or two. This thing was light enough that as a tall slightly chubby man I felt uneasy just getting on it, I kept thinking "this thing will crumble from my weight". I knew it was s

The average home connection in Canada is something around 15-20Mbps, IIRC. Your average 4G is already faster than that. I get similar speeds on average on my phone compared to my home internet. The two reasons I still have dedicated home in
