I pay far less for AWS than I ever did for the providers in this article. Clearly YMMV depending on your workload and also how well you optimise for a cloud providers strengths. Hence making broad statements is unhelpful. There's a pla

That would explain why my experience with Win95 was so good. I never really understood all the hate for it (especially given 98/98SE/ME/XP, which came after 95, all of which I never really liked due to the all the extra &quot

I've owned several Apple laptops over the last 20 years for both personal and work use and they've all had reduced battery life over time. I've suffered one recall, another one which failed 1 month past the warranty and which

Is the price cheap enough to do that? Last time I looked it was much cheaper to go with a local carrier almost anywhere I looked.

As a Deaf person using sign language, Zoom is essential for virtual meetings as its the only platform I've used that consistently delivers acceptable video performance. Teams suffers from random issues that just crops up out of nowhere

I've used borg with rsync.net for several years for my primary off-site backup and have had fantastic reliability and support from them. They cover the usage of borg on their website[1] and support a range of other backup tools as well

Seems to be up to the manufacturers and/or the carriers. Samsung doesn't have this for example even on my S21 running Android 13.

My Samsung S21 running Android 13 doesn't have this option. My carrier is One NZ but from what I understand it's just stock Samsung firmware/software without anything specific to my carrier. Curious what Samsung phone you hav

My Samsung S21 running the latest Android (13) doesn't offer the option to disable 2G while keeping 4G/5G. The list is literally: 2G/3G/4G/5G, 2G/3G/4G, 2G/3G, 3G only, or 2G only. If you want to keep

Using the backspace key to go back is a massive PITA in browsers that have that keybinding set. Have accidently lost form input by pressing backspace, so frustrating. Backspace should only delete a character in a form and not go to a differ

This is also an issue in Android and desktop browsers. I've also seen some websites actually go to extra effort to prevent autofill from working.

Hoping they continue Intel's long tradition of good support for Linux/BSD.

Debian works brilliantly on two ThinkPads. My old X1 Carbon and my current X390.

This happens on non-government systems too. The only system I've experienced this has been a financial institution's system. Frustrating as it meant I had to make the trip into one of their branches to get it reset.

So you'd put the Gameboy for example on par with the PlayStation? Despite one being portable and the other not?

I use Wayland daily and haven't run into the issues you mention. It has worked better than X11 as a daily driver for a few years now. I appreciate may not work for some <1% of edge use cases but for most people Wayland works just fi

I know of Jinja only because I have dabbled in some Ansible and Python. Had I not done either I probably would have been none the wiser too.

People should use their ISP's DNS as well which is often <5ms. I've never bothered using an off-net DNS provider for this reason given how much faster is it to use an on-net caching DNS resolver provided by my ISP.

It is not. A simple traceroute shows traffic from Auckland, New Zealand is routed all the way to the San Diego via Los Angeles. Cloudflare sites typically have traceroutes terminating here at Auckland (best case scenario) or in some cases a

I currently use Debian for my personal laptop. Any advantages to moving to OpenSuse Tumbleweed?

I'm not sure it is, it seems part of a series that started a while ago so very probably unrelated to the current events.

I've had suspend work perfectly using Debian on two separate Lenovo Thinkpads. No special config, just plain Debian works fine. Ironically I've had suspend issues on MacBooks. Even Windows isn't immune to suspend issues on th

I've had the similar experiences with a 2017 Macbook Air at my previous job. Over time it got worse to the point it'd be at 100% when it suspends at the end of the day and then when I was back at work the next morning there was a

Usually, the search results are movies with similar genre to the one I was looking for, not just simply similar spelling etc. I assume they look up stuff like what other movies people who had seen the searched-for movie have seen. So if I w
