I moved to iOS over a year ago after using Android exclusively, and I agree that this was a discoverability downgrade. Editing text with various multi-finger gestures, shaking the device, or even putting the entire Photos app into a differe

Those RAM usage comparisons should consider the shared memory among those processes. Aren't those renderer and zygote processes forks of each other? I don't think that tools like htop or Process Explorer give us an easy at-a-glanc

No, it is not booting up very fast, but it is still ok as I usually don't reboot that often. I remember one severe increase in the user login duration, and this was caused by the high number of files in a temp folder which Disk Cleanup

My last clean Windows installation was in 2007 with Vista, and since then, I ran in-place upgrades to get to the next immediate version. It survived multiple mainboard changes and moved from MBR IDE HDDs to GPT SATA SSDs. (With the help of

If he uses it for work, and clearly, most shared links he creates are of copyrighted media content, how would this work in practice? Does Google Drive/Dropbox have some flag for "creator" accounts?

With such issues, don't expect Ubuntu to fix it while staying at the same kernel version. Instead, either try their HWE-stacks or upgrade to the intermediate non-LTS releases. Fedora, for example, will always use the latest upstream ke

I don't particularly appreciate how a group of nerds from the 80s have some supposed interpretational sovereignty over what "free" software means. The added restrictions on the GPL don't make the software more "free

How good is Zotero as a bookmark manager similar to Pinboard.in or Raindrop.io? Both have a paid feature that stores a permanent copy of a site, but these are stored only on their servers, and Pinboard's archive download feature never

If you are looking for a self-hosted Grammarly alternative, LanguageTool [0] might be for you. I use LTeX [1] for VSCode, which sets up a local LanguageTool server, and its resource usage is quite significant. (I use it together with their

They also changed how it loads new tweets for logged-in users. Now it shows something like "Show 36 Tweets" and jumps back to the top of the timeline by clicking on it. They crippled Twitter on the web with these changes because g

Initially Acronis, but then they dumped down their home version and started to make marginal paid upgrades every year. I am currently on Macrium Reflect, and so far, I have had no issues with it.

Never. On my Windows PC, my last fresh install was on Vista, and since then, I have made in-place upgrades and image restores when switching to new system drives. On macOS, I also never needed to clean install.

Especially, most of these chat apps have functionally similar web/PWA apps. In those cases, I prefer to install them as desktop PWAs or use Chrome's "Create shortcut" feature to get them into my Dock/Taskbar. One li

Reminds me of https://auphonic.com/ Their pricing is also similar, but Auphonic allows both subscription and prepaid "credits".

In the context of Don Norman's book, this is a bad design with hidden affordances and missing signifiers. How should a new user discover that they have to shake their phone to undo some text editing?

My bias is ten years of Android before I switched to iOS, and I failed spectacularly to select multiple images in the Photos app and delete them. It seemed to work sometimes, and sometimes it would only drag the picture under my finger u

My guess: Porting their kernel extension to ARM is not that trivial. They were one of the first who offered these 0-byte placeholders, and they rely on a kernel driver, which is only available on both Windows and macOS (but not Linux). OneD

For their next release, they should rename the project into OpenTLS and go back to version 1.0. I think the advantages (it's funny) would heavily outweigh the disadvantages (everyone would hate them).

Operating a datacenter for crypto mining is a bit more than just having suitable GPUs for it. If you rent out your servers at a fixed price and they can mine crypto on them for a profit, then there is a high chance that your flat-rate prici
