Richard Stallman himself said: "With software there are only two outcomes: either the users control the program or the program controls the users. If the program is not under user control, and the developer controls everything, then th

We've had the same reply at a previous company. The answer was "this comes straight from the general manager, so we must do this". I'm 100% sure the GM had no idea what's going on, so, yeah, terrible manager right t

Intel just keeps getting kicked in the nuts, huh There is no way to get the most performance out of your Intel chip without undervolting - especially on mobile, they run really hot under constant load and often throttle. Manufacturers usi

Ah OK, I see here that anyone can sign up (for the English course) https://course.elementsofai.com/ I guess it's just that landing page :)

That's great, it would be even better if it was open to everyone, you know, in line with EU values (democracy, education for all, freedom, etc.) :/

Kind of off-putting... EU only, really? Also "English (Ireland)" heh For everyone else, use a VPN, I doubt they check anything.

I actually did experiment with that - Core 2 Quad laptop under moderate load in a closed backpack will overheat and shutdown in around 10 minutes. Longer than I expected, and I will never try that again.

Startisback++ iirc. I actually don't have a problem with the UI, since I only use the start menu and the good old file explorer. Feck those UWP apps.

Nothing's great about Win10 (7 is just as good, hell even XP would be fine if it was still maintained haha) The software available is great beyond doubt

It also messes up some settings and customizations. LTSC gets security updates, antivirus updates, etc, and never even notifies or restarts. Why do you need a new Windows build every 6 months then? It's a host OS for all the useful sof

Oh, OK. I also thought it was electroshock motivation. You still can't just "turn off" your mind, most likely. You'll just be trapped there thinking

Heh, I've been thinking that would be great for distractions. Have to work but are on Reddit? Shock! Alternatives: automated time waster blocking (on the router probably), self-blackmail (nudes go out automatically, or your important s

I've been in a similar situation, and the bank was adamant they could not do anything beyond contacting the recipient. For £750, I won't bother with the legal system, so that's a loss. I do think it's a good system, if

I've been using search for everything since Windows 7. Just have to remember the first 3-5 letters, or a word, and I could open any programs and folders/files. The windows key was my desktop, the actual desktop is blank and black.

Yes, that's how it works in the UK. If you, yourself, enter someone's bank details and send them money using a bank's online interface, you are responsible. The bank can not just reverse that transaction. Best they can do is

Oh, no, I just have no use for it now :) I expect Matomo to be even better, after all this time.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Most people would go with the big company in my experience, but your niche is huge anyway. WPEngine seems to be doing alright still (I remember thinking no way would anyone pay for just WordPress hosting... I
