I have a tuxedo machine myself for that reason. The problem is that I can't get one in a store. It's a product that is only available to those in the know. In the ideal situation a lay-person would be in a store, and there would b

The only way this get better is if the user gets to choose between an OS with ads, lock-in, telemetry etc. and then one with none of that. As it is now, buying a laptop in a store is a "pick your poison" situation.

Give AdonisJS a try, it's pretty much the JS sibling of Laravel and RoR.

I always have my browser open, so having it just one click away and not interrupting with whatever else the browser is showing feels convenient. I'm using linux, so there are no official desktop apps I could use instead. Had there been

After I upgraded my laptop (Ryzen 2700 => 8845HS) it has felt as though Firefox is much closer to Chrome. While I do not think that the gap narrowed when measured in CPU-cycles, it's just not very noticable when Firefox doesn't

That's also how I feel. I think you have every right to doubt those telling us that they run 5 agents to generate a new SAAS-product while they are sipping latté in a bar. To work like that I believe you'll have to let go of reall

The gun industry does not earn anything from 3D-printed guns, so those kinds of guns are "free game" for the law makers.

The problem is that we allowed them to control the PC OS market so tightly. Had there been any sort of real competition, then they would have had to care about their users. At this point I just hope that they don't manage to turn the s

I don't know about France, but here in Denmark you'd generally find tech jobs on LinkedIn. If you have a decent amount of experience I don't think you'd be looking for very long. But as stated by other commenters, the sa

I like this! I wonder if there's a place on the internet where I can find more of this sort of seemingly strong and well-thought out arguments for something that is so clearly subjective (if not just inferior).

The US has to limit the power of the president and to remove the "the winner takes it all" principle from its "democracy". Maybe the next election is the right moment to do something about it. I can't believe there

That was my main learning from the last election: The difference between Americans and Europeans truly is much greater than I'd ever expect. I really thought that it was impossible for Trump to get elected again. Everyone was warned, y

Can this be revoked after the midterms? In that case I guess the EU can wait it out.

Play the game in an emulator that has a shortcut for fast-forward. It makes a world of difference when it comes to "enduring" overly long cut-scenes, load screens, repeated spell animations, endless combat encounters, etc. I wish

That single thing is great UX. While I personally very much enjoy all of the things I can do on PC and Steam Deck, I can definitely understand why my wife - who's not as technically inclined - prefers the PS5.

Anyone who's read the law has known this for years. The GDPR is incompatible with the Cloud Act, and so the only legal (or so it should be) way to use US companies is to treat them like unsafe third countries - no matter the data cente
