It really depends where you go. In undergrad, my first intro CS course was basically working through the Intel x86 manuals[0]. Partway through, I transferred to another state, and their college's intro course was about C. 0: https:&#x

Awesome, thank you! Have you attempted transferring those backups from one computer to another? (i.e. upgrading from one Mac to the next)

Hi, can you explain (or link to) the process you use to download them? Is it manually one-by-one? Or is there a way to batch backup? Thanks

I've been using Listenbox for a bit now, and its been great to bring YouTube-only content into my preferred podcast client (Overcast) to enable dead-noise reduction and voice boost. I saw the last time it was posted here was 2019, and

Wow, I have a Citi card and I never knew! I don't think I've ever been promoted this feature before. I remember BofA used to. When they closed it, I thought everyone else followed suite.

Younger audiences may not remember, but yes: major card providers used provide virtual card numbers back in the day. This is a feature of the past, and most providers don't do it anymore. The only one I know of is Capital One's

Can you show me a build that you can make from off-the-shelf parts today for $700 that is comparable to the 6700XT in the Series X, without carrying over existing parts? PC Part Picker doesn't seem to think so: https://pcpar

In the US, at least, its common to simply pay that $1k phone over time on a plan - or simply never stop paying off a phone through an upgrade program, either through their carrier or direct (e.g. iPhone Upgrade Program). $30/mo doesn&#

As a PC gamer who's slowly losing interest in favor of console gaming... I don't mean to sound ignorant, but how is any GPU comparable to a console. For $500, I can get: a Series X and a controller, ready to play out of the box. W

Not sure if Valve 'woke up' too late, as opposed to simply taking longer to come to market, and with a much more grand vision than other manufacturers have. Valve recently released a promo booklet for the Steam Deck [1]. Page 14 o

I think the 'console wars' are still relevant, maybe even more so now that both Microsoft and Playstation have their own subscription models. I think there will always be a market segment for console gamers, despite how many Xbox

FWIW, the iOS 15 beta was also solid leading up to release. There's something about general availability that just hits different, exposing bugs to be fixed in the eventual .1 release.

Agree that is was not a great idea, or one that anyone asked for. I saw it as a way for Canonical to start bringing end-user-oriented features to the Linux desktop, something that Linux sorely needed circa 00s and early 10s. They also had t

Very common in NYC. Someone on the street will ask you to "have something" or "check out something I'm giving away for free", acting as if it is a gift. As you walk away with said thing, that person will accuse you
