You mean Microsoft proactively kept shooting devs in the kneecaps? Leaving phones behind on old incompatible OS versions 2 times in 3 years and switching app frameworks 3 times in 4 years does not a good app developer experience make. Piled

If you're on Linux you might be able to use a combination of modprobe + udev + systemd unit files to hardcode a solution. Either you hardcode your keyboard and mouse absolutely into kernel parameters, or you make two systemd unit files

Possible they're thinking of certain OC editions of GPUs. Some of them have 2 BIOSes you can switch between with a little slider. Some even 3.

As Fastmail themselves have pointed out many times, e-mail is inherently a multi-party activity with both parties holding a copy of the e-mails. Aside from the microscopic amount of people GPGing their e-mail and sending it over good server

Does that really matter if virtually no one is going to develop extensions according to the Manifest v2 spec? Developing for that spec means your extension is incompatible with idk, 98% of the browser market?

That is plain wrong, and on top of that, the CLOUD act doesn't really solve anything because if the order to obtain data is legal for the US arm but illegal for the EU arm, releasing the data from say Ireland to the US would immediatel

Google doesn't need to compete. 'everyone' is locked into them via the Gapps (mostly Gmail and Maps) and Android ecosystems. Same with Apple, and Microsoft on the B2B side. It's only Anthropic, OpenAI and everyone else t

We had that for many years. But banks stopped supporting their own payment solutions because despite not having to pay commission to Google, it was more expensive to support their own solutions. That should also tell you that almost any ope

Technically the security works, just for their threat model. An exploit would need root and root means you likely cannot pass attestation AFAIK. The fact that this same exploiter can download all your contacts photos and texts is immaterial

In that case the internet is mostly due to the Brits (invention of packet switching at the NPL by Donald Davies). Cheers!

I mean, if you're really worried just test for support of certain features or absence of bugs that are only in the newest WebKit.

If you really want to power optimize, there's a special dmabuf-wayland backend that hands off compositing to Wayland. You lose some post-processing but your power use can drop from 12-15w to 2-5w. This is also how the newer Linux video

I've considered Zen, but the problem there is no Widevine, which means no DRM video. I do love the design and how the interface has vertical and pinned / favorite tabs as its foundation. It's where I expect other browsers to

My biggest beef with Plex is that they've pivoted away from being a media server first and are trying to change into a streaming platform first, and because managers inside the company have to show KPI, they're stuffing the stream

Are browser UIs themselves vectors for serious exploits? Orion uses WebKit and I assume they try to track as close to the release branch as possible. So if you trust WebKit, you can trust Orion. Personally I'm more of a Brave guy thoug

APFS and BTRFS are objectively better than NTFS. Hell, even HFS+ and EXT4 already were. And then there is already the next generation knocking on the door. BcacheFS is really cool and yet another step forward in performance and reliability.

Windows 7 was also incredibly good. And yeah, there was some pretty neat stuff. Of Linux, macOS and Windows, Windows was the first to get GPU crash recovery, just chugging onward after a stall instead of bringing the entire system down. The

I mean, in a vacuum, yes. But it made a huge splash with the OnePlus One, and they had some pretty nice phones since. Oppo, Vivo and Realme sound like those weird dropshipping Amazon brands. Or the whitelabel brand Android phones you can bu

It doesn't make sense because OnePlus is much more known in the West than either Oppo, Vivo or Realme. OnePlus also just sounds like more of a Western brand. It would have made much more sense to kill those other brands in the West and

iPhone batteries are actually relatively easy to access and replace. The only annoying thing that Apple (and most other gadgets) insist on is adhesive strip mounting of the battery. Just use screws please.

It goes beyond engineering. An account just out of university isn't allowed to sign off on anything, only after a next step can they co-sign, and they need yet another step to be the primary signer. Depending on the country, there&#x27

Any human would have taglined this "vibrate to magnetic charging puck with computer vision". It just feels horribly low effort. Respect your fellow man.

This is the most hilarious, ironic thing of it all. If you want secure, high performance, you run Chinese models like DeepSeek on your own (or trusted) infra. Meanwhile you can never trust OpenAI and Anthropic's models.
