   They are only three viable web-engines left over from the second browser-war: * Blink (Google): Used in everything, from Chrome, Edge, Opera, Qt-Toolkit, Electron. * Gecko (Mozilla): Firefox. And Waterfox? I assume Gecko is still hard

   Buy AMD or Intel. Not Nvidia. Rationale: Both AMD and Intel provide well maintained open-source drivers for many years[1]. Nvidia doesn't. You need to use closed-source drivers with Nvidia in practice, which causes issues with kernel u

   USB-HID cares about that and the rest shall be done by generic APIs through the operating-system. I avoid therefore any peripheral devices which need additional software. Ducky provides DIP-Switches and keyboard shortcuts. Perfect :) And

   Sounds to me like We don’t support Linux because the low marketshare on sales. Because you don’t provide a native port, support and don’t even sale? Which is why your own special MBA market sales don’t change. And that why a lo

    Good point! I still call that an Easter Egg because it is hidden. It took me months until I figured out that a long press on Enter allows movement of the map viewpoint. And then there is the sub menu providing the same feature. For outsi

    ThinkPads come usually with two panel options: The cheap one and the good one. Often even a third or fourth. Lenovo should only ship the good ones! If I buy a ThinkPad I want the good one. I struggled to get the HiDPI panel for the X13 and

    It is not about smoothness. Actually the magnesium bottom feels like some high quality polymer/plastic. And it is leightweight. Therefore it doesn’t feel like metal and doesn’t transport heat/cold. Aluminum is a nice material for

    DLF is the other high quality program aside from ARTE! Regarding the content, it is for all and it is fine that 90% are not interesting for me. I struggle with the selection of news presented by ARD/ZDF, missing positiv news. Soccer

    This fee is hot topic in Germany. Our French friends also enjoy ARTE[1] but seem not to suffer anymore from this ridiculous fee. Actually I’m surprised that the Swiss fee is even higher, despite everything in the Swiss is expensive. [1]
