That's not exactly what I mean though, I really mean to say that there's no federal ID that you can basically rely on people having. I totally get that there are actually federal IDs, and probably could've worded that a bit b

Look, I'm not trying to paint the picture that the problems aren't technically solvable; the fact that it kind of is is the part that makes this discussion so durable. I admit that PIN verification would make it harder to bypass

There is a chance he did not run new wires if he was able to ascertain that the wire gauge was sufficient to carry 20 amps over the length of the cable. This is a totally valid upgrade though it does obviously require you to be pretty sure

Even if you could do this in every single country (it would already be extremely hard to actually do this in the United States reliably, and I can only imagine it is basically a non-starter in a lot of developing countries) it does pose s

Mesa is also usable on other platforms, including Windows and macOS. It's even theoretically possible to use the Asahi Linux hardware Mesa drivers on macOS, though actually doing so would involve hacking around undocumented APIs. I act

Although this exists, as a layperson, I've rarely seen it. There is the NEMA 6-15R receptacle type, but I have literally none of those in my entire house, and I've really never seen them. Apparently they're sometimes used for

As an old house owner, I can attest to that for sure. In fairness though, I suspect most of the atrocities occur in wall and work boxes, as long as your house is new enough to at least have NM sheathed wiring instead of ancient weird stuff

Hair dryers and microwaves only run for a few minutes, so even if you do have too much resistance this probably won't immediately reveal a problem. A space heater might, but most space heaters I've come across actually seem to dra

The voltage is always going to be the same because the voltage is determined by the transformers leading to your service panel. The breakers break when you hit a certain amperage for a certain amount of time, so by installing a bigger break

At least with U.S. wiring we have 15 amps at 120 volts. For continuous power draw I know you'd want an 80% margin of safety, so let's say you have 1440 Watts of AC power you can safely draw continuously. Power supplies built on MO

KDE telemetry is strictly opt-in, it is something that you are prompted for during the first setup wizard.

If the cool kids are so cool, they should learn to distinguish transparent opt-in telemetry from invasive opt-out telemetry. Unfortunately, being "cool" doesn't get your needs represented, so it's really not always in yo

Root is definitely required to inject inputs at the kernel level using uinput, which I think is what you would hope, ignoring the fact that the typical Linux desktop still has a lot of other low hanging fruit to fix in terms of security. An

On the KDE side, Wayland has been going pretty well. Wayland sessions make up 82% of all sessions with telemetry enabled. https://blogs.kde.org/2025/03/15/this-week-in-plasma-file-tr... For me the real conund

Nice, it looks like you are correct. I think that's a genuinely very useful feature and I'm glad to see it implemented.

I believe Valve and Codeweavers collaborate on Proton. However, Proton is very similar to upstream Wine in practice, and you can use Proton as a drop-in replacement for Wine if you want to. Lutris will happily download and run builds of Pro

I want to try Bottles again to see if it really does solve more problems, but I honestly find it a bit disappointing how there isn't really that great of a solution for managing Wine prefixes holistically. I always wanted to like Cross

I can't tell you how much I disagree with this take. Microsoft's AMD64 emulator is slow and buggy compared to Rosetta, and you will need it a lot more, too. Many apps will need to rely on this, including programs many users will i

Actually the pricing is pretty similar. Framework Desktop price with default selections, 32GB of RAM, 500 GB storage: $1,242.00 USD Mac Mini with 32GB of RAM, 512 GB storage: $1,199.00 Post changed a bit since I started replying, so: > F

Depends on the benchmark I think. In this case it's probably close. Apple is cagey when it comes to power draw or clock metrics but I believe the M4 max has been seen drawing around 50W in loaded scenarios. Meanwhile, Phoronix clocked

That can be done using relative window placement. It's not about pixel-perfect placement, but absolute vs relative.
