If you have no power bricks at all then applause to you. In any given room I can find at least 5 I think. For 0.025% of the price of the phone or less, you can get a braided lightning cable and stop caring about this first world problem.

Who buys an iphone because of the included $0.50 plug and earbuds? Those products are mostly just straight e-waste at this point. I don't see how people paying 1 grand from Apple are upset at not having $0.50 power brick. If it's

Last I checked Apple makes $4 for each lightning cable end on licensing fees. That is probably the primary reason.

Then don't get an iphone 12? People who are buying an iphone aren't doing it because of the included power brick. There is the iphone SE 2, Pixel 4a etc... If it's such a problem, buy a braided cable from Amazon and power bri

All I know is that it's pretty simple to secure your Google Account. 1) Use something like a Microsoft/Google as a recovery email. 2) Setup TOTP 2fa and monitor regularly account access. 3) Don't leak your password. If a goog

I don't think there is anything wrong in particular with using Chrone's browser sync or password management system at all. That is so long as the linked account is secure. The problem here is the weakest link which I imagine is th

The phone had great software and could run on incredibly low-end hardware like the Nokia 520. I had that phone and it was functional, fast and far better designed than any of the Android equivalent low-ends at the time. Biggest flaw at the

The whole way that Google handled Windows Mobile was anti competitive imho. They prevented Windows Phone users from being able to access Google Maps by checking User Agents. They didn't release a native Youtube app for Windows phone, a

I was watching a video about how there are thousands of ships (6300) sunk from the past which did not have oil leached from their tanks. These have been converted to basically ticking time bombs as the metal and fuel tanks corrode. The amo

There have been better coins, better protocols for years now, but the most popular cryptocurrency still remains to be bitcoin. Bitcoin alone has a terrible energy footprint. The environmental damage caused by all this nonsense is not worth

Yea I don't think that is worth the ridiculous amount of energy being consumed by crypto. Almost the equivalent of the entirety of Denmark.

If you wanted reduced latency, I think you would stick with HTTP/2 with onload on a Solarflare card. Until there is dedicated hardware NICs I think you would find HTTP/3 has worse latency. That is until dedicated NIC accelerators

Is this true? I thought most of the reasons why AMD can push higher core counts is largely caused by very recent manufacturing innovations with chiplet/infinity fabric. Namely that it enabled the manufacturing process to glue together

by kd913 6y ago
Just FYI, I think it may be a good idea just waiting a little bit as there are currently plans being put in place for a slightly different direction for Onload. I don't think I am allowed to reveal much but it will soon be a lot easier

PPAs are the worst of the worst and absolutely should not be encouraged. With PPAs, everytime someone runs sudo apt upgrade, they are giving root privileges to their machine to some random person on the internet. No, having users scan the s

The question is why would people download/install chrome? Edge is built in, it can't be removed, it's updated automatically and is integrated. It has all the functionality of chrome, so why would I download/install anoth

I can understand the benefit of automating these things but I think it would probably be better for people to setup these things manually first. At least to understand what each step is doing. Otherwise, people are trusting rather a core pi

Systemd-boot is not originally designed in systemd philosophy. It was originally gummiboot and got adopted into systemd project. The explicit design goal was to be a minimal alternative to grub.
