That’s quite reasonable. Props for them for doing it. Without updates included, buying a lifetime license nowadays feels more like a subscription which expires as soon as your OS upgrades instead. It also creates a lot of friction with diff

For laptops, what I had in mind is excellent power management and efficiency, it seems to correlate with ARM but I think most people don’t really care for the details of architecture.

Depending on how easy it is to run Linux on this as opposed to the new MacBooks may make this attractive for Linux users. Anyway, the whole trend to change from x86 to Arm on laptops is bad news for compatibility. It might be that the era w

I didn’t like that you are not supporting Linux in your free tier. Edit: if it is not clear, the way you treat the community is one way I evaluate my decisions to support or not your company when I suggest using your products to others, stu

I’m working in education and will change to other vendors in the near future. That means all my students will do so as well. Windows cannot provide feature parity for workloads that require cross compiling, AMD could at least support RHEL l

Interestingly toy stores are still a thing in Japan. I took my 2 year old daughter to buy her birthday present this year. Her smile when I told her she could take the toy plush home was priceless. I asked her if she wanted the big or small

Yes, I own one. I touch it every day :) It has good build quality. It has been a great experience _for me_. Sorry, I don’t care if the logo is shiny or not. I said I’d recommend a tablet for people that need a stylus, meaning to do art, I d

In some countries the number of kids born through c-section are very high, more than half the kids in Brazil are born that way for example, so definitely people can be healthy without getting it from their mothers.

After buying several used goods in Japan, my impression is that junk simply means the seller does not want to hear complaints over old items, so they sell it at a lower price. I have bought many perfectly working items sold as such. Of cour

Have you ever touched a Neo? It does not feel like scrap pieces. That is the magic. A phone has great battery life and standby power management. What’s the problem with running a different OS on it if it works just fine? Different stuff for

If taking it offline is not a concern, I would try a low level backup with ddrescue while booting from external media as soon as possible. Keep using the system from a disk showing read issues could trigger loss of more data, and one could

I’m having problems with too many competing projects recently, so I had to reach to my boss and ask to leave most of them. It was not even the workload but the constant context switching that did it. Currently waiting a month to check how t

Difficult parts on videogames as well. It could be attributed to slow response times due to being tired or accidentally memorizing a bad pattern, resting also could help with those.

Check out Doom Emacs if you are looking for a good starting point. The defaults make sense coming from Vim.

I think this is the only long term solution, even if cumbersome. I’m curious what secondary devices people are using. I have a second hand Surface Go running Fedora 43 with Gnome, it’s a bit big but it’s doing its job well.

Now Debian is packaging non-free drivers in the iso images directly. I would suggest to try Debian first, if it works well for you just keep it. If you feel the need for newer packages, try other alternatives (or Debian unstable). I’ve set

People should never buy an ebook which they cannot make a copy that is readable anywhere, extra steps required or not. There are so many disadvantages to even list.

I agree completely. I will focus of Japanese because it’s the language I have experience with. With a good order (RTK), optimal reviews (SRS) and putting 30 minutes a day it is possible to learn keyword to Kanji writing in a couple of month

I think it’s good to play with smaller models to have a grasp of these kind of problems, since they happen more often and are much less subtle.

The internet is full of these comments that go for ages in Mac vs PC discussions, but with the Neo pricing the arguments are breaking apart. Seeing the PC arguers bring up the being poor argument against the Mac buyers is showing how disrup

Teams is not that bad if you are using Office and OneDrive anyway, as it integrates well with those. Most of my team members are using different named chats for discussion instead of channels, which are used for more important notices. Some

People told me to avoid placing chopsticks upwards in a bowl before I even went to Japan so that is the only one I’d keep in mind. Given how many of these are clever tricks that I learned from seeing Japanese people eat, like aligning the c

Reducing the cost of looking at a notification from taking something out of your pocket to just glancing at your wrist sounds like a superpower. I immediately jumped in and was an early adopter of smart watches back when the original Pebble

Being able to uninstall Bing and Edge would be great too. Being realistic, it’s likely that Copilot will join the list of apps you cannot uninstall very soon.
