Well it can't be a replacement anyway. You can't really spend it anywhere

I was thinking this exact thing. A distro, or flavour of some distro purely for seniors. There may already be one out there

I think the distribution needs to be picked very carefully. I'd imagine most users would get on with Ubuntu without any issues

This is certainly the case, and I think more and more people are going this way. My 70 year old mother uses her 4 year old iPad for things she might have previously done on a PC. She gets on with it without issues

I'm surprised there aren't more suggestions to ditch the windows install totally and go with a Linux distro like Ubuntu. Personally I also know of family members that get on very well with chromebooks

The code that the tweet refers to is not open source. That's the scandal here.

Absolutely, it's particularly noticeable on this panel though

It's strange - the panel looks good for some content, but bad for others. When there is a solid colour on the screen, you can see banding really easily. I also was seeing a bit of subtle colour flickering when watching HDR content on N

I've got a 2017 LG TV and I hate it. It's always been buggy and some of the hardware was underspecced even for 2017. I was getting ready to replace it but this Jailbreak might buy it a few more years

This was the impression I got as well, but that instability was preventing some of the benchmarking from happening.

Good going to keep it up for so long! I'm sure your content has been valuable to a lot of people

I think the promise is there... but when I come across a deepfake right now, they often don't seem convincing to me. This one included

Your final sentence nails the fact of our work (and by proxy, business investment) is short-lived. So many apps that I've contributed to in the business world end up getting tossed after a few years. It's often because of some cha

I totally see your point of view. However in my experience, there is not enough developer competency for this to fully work. I can imagine lots of developers going off task if things worked in this way - there would be too much freedom, and

Your comment about the JavaScript client side ecosystem is fair, and I could even provide numerous examples of libraries introducing breaking api changes in minor releases. However it is unfair and simply untrue to somehow also tar nodejs w

I suspected I'd enter the comments and see this sort of comment. I don't feel like the author is telling us how to block ads on facebook - they are just exploring the techniques that facebook use to sidestep ad-blockers

But this just isn't true. If you install wordpress, and then grab a bunch of plugins and themes and install them without taking any care, it won't bundle and minify your javascript. It's no different to having a static websit

I'm expecting downvotes, but self hosted wordpress could work for you.
