Most German milk is either "long life" or UHT, both of which taste better to me than "normal" pasteurized milk, which is the most common in England, for example. The three different pasteurization techniques result in di

Oh, the other stuff is just because of root access. Tbh, the only inconvenience for me is banking apps, but fortunately no one canceled the browser + websites yet. As for Netflix and others, I don't understand why they accept Widevine

If the Note 9 is any indication, it's not the hardware, it's the bloody software - Samsung is seemingly terrible at it! The North American Note 9 used a Snapdragon 845 SoC while the European version used Samsung's own Exynos

Not safe to consume seafood? As long as it's alive, you can eat it. Maybe it lowers your lifespan. That's not that big of a problem, humans have lived like that for the vast majority of their existence. As for water, it's eve

Hmm, you're right, I might be misremembering and was actually using 80 MHz, so I wanted to try 160 MHz but the routers did not support that. Right, so Wifi N had 20/40 MHz. Thanks! Reading the replies I'm thinking better chip

Anyone tested the "real" throughput of Wifi 6? I wanted to make a point to point connection for 500 Mbit/s and figured AC will be more than enough. Well, turned out I can squeeze at best 260Mbps between 2 fully optimized AC r

Try and fix it. Some things can't be fixed, but many can. And I'm talking by any means necessary. Of course, first and foremost, one must understand and accept the risks. I do suffer from ADHD (which has been getting more severe

That's because good safety nets means people don't have to take risks on business. So that leaves only the people who want to start a business. Who tend to leave for countries where it's easier to run a business and where t

I think the analogy was that a CPU can do a GPU's job, but a GPU will do it much faster. Pretty much all modern NICs are already using separate hardware to reduce the load on the main CPU. I.e. using a different CPU to do more CPU. Wit
