Considering how big a thing custom keyboards are on desktops, I could see a very viable market for more keyboard options as an upsell. If they swapped out the entire case top (or at least a large panel including the trackpad and keyboard) a

There was a narrow window when TV and monitor products used the same panels. TVs got bigger very quickly after LCD took over-- there were a few years where they had ~22-25" sets as the small "dorm room" size models, but you w

This is Atlassian. The only way their software impresses people is with how bad it is.

I was always sort of curious how they determine which prototypes to go after-- it seems like some classes are much more widely produced than others. It seems like in WWII aircraft, Japanese and Soviet designs are underrepresented compared

"You can code in the same language as the pros" is a huge selling point. If you're a kid using a computer, you've seen off-the-shelf software and that's probably your inspiration. You want to be able to make stand

They added a "frictionless" flow in 3-D Secure v2, so probably for situations like "we recognize this combination of device and payment card and the transaction is pretty small" it can slide you through without a direct

Trying to split infrastructure from operations hasn't worked out well in the UK, and the US version for passengers isn't doing so hot either.

I'm trying to figure out ways to placate the boss by fitting AI into the edges of my workflow. "Look at these commits and do a review" to find stupid stuff like forgotten exception throws or nulls. Or "Critique this doc

Existing veggie burgers were sort of trapped by trying to present themselves as "close enough to beef". You will be lapped by a more accurate replacement. It makes me think of Boca Burgers-- I used to enjoy one occasionally as a

Perhaps they're looking at specific empty slots in the competitive product lineup and doubling-down there. I'm sort of surprised, for example, that LTS embedded is not more of a thing. Sell something like those little N50/10

It's two different problems. Yes, if you absolutely positively have to be in London in four hours to Sign The Big Contract, you'll pay whatever the Concorde replacement charges and put up with whatever experience it offers. But t

I suspect a big factor was PSU design. Even large OEMs contracted it out, and there probably reached a point where manufacturers started to offer catalog items in the 200-400 watt range where the primary size constraint was the 80mm exhaus

I always found this principle odd because it offends across the political spectrum. Every hassle the porn industry gets, the gun industry gets too, and that obviously has a very different political footprint. I'd also expect some indu

There used to be the claim that "if you overclock your CPU/GPU, it would blow a fuse and the manufacturer could deny a RMA". Not sure if it ever actually happened, or if it was just an urban legend. I could see a system mana

My two cents: My experience with AI is that it's workable for "approximate" things, but it's frustratingly difficult to use as a precision tool. It works great for the trivial demos, where you say "here's an AP

In that regard, I almost feel like a new Atari 800-series would be better. The C64 had good graphics and excellent sound but so much of it was behind a brick-wall learning curve of poking. Atari's native BASIC at least provided some r

I don't think "live to 15, have kids, and die" makes sense as a model for humans, even if you're modeling them solely as child generating machines. Humans are a pretty damn care-dependent species. They're not going

This was always one of the downfalls of market economics. We already have conscious feelings about these things, but it's virtually impossible to enforce it into the market at scale in a meaningful way. We could take a broadly agreed

There are plenty of non-political routes to social status. Ask how many of your neighbours can name three Supreme Court justices (or hell, their senators and representative) versus who can name three Khardashian sisters? TBH, I'd hope

The Ford model shown has been oversimplified to the point of absurdity by using only one industry. The real economy is about flows between multiple sectors. Who's buying bread? Do they have enough disposable income to buy packaged b

At least one use case I've seen for Docker is to replicate the massively microservice oriented system. If your app is deployed across 200 different containers in prod, you're going to be testing it by spinning up the same basic c

I suspect it's another step in the push to make the mobile device the centre of digital identity. (Yeah, it might support some standalone key devices, but nobody's giving Joe Sixpack a Yubikey) The one with far more data gatherin

$10,000 notes carry a substantial premium for collectors. I find it funny they still advertise having a display of a million dollars, but in boring modern notes. Didn't even bother to look for it even though I walked past the place li

Low-voltage wring and sensors to the pedal are cheaper and lighter and probably less susceptible to some failure modes.

This is a belt-and-suspenders thing. The gas pedal on an EV isn't connected to a passive rheostat gating the entire power output of the vehicle. It's a low-voltage sensor. A capacitor can swallow a transient of a 0.1v signal burs

TBH, I'm hoping we have front-view cameras that maybe kick in at under 20kph or something. Front visibility is famously poor on SUVs and trucks, and even aside from pedestrians, I suspect there are a lot of small but very expensive bum

If you asked people "what are your pain points with the current Unix GUI ecosystem?", in the early 2000s when this was being first discussed , this would have been a popular answer. This was decades before the "let's ma

The whole "95% support on major implementations" thing is still a hurdle. Wayland ends up railroading users into GNOME and KDE, with virtually everything else being in some way second-class. In X11, I can still use all the same c
