Probably hardware dependent too as I get 8.11 on my fairly old Samsung S21. My newer laptop gets 14.9 so I'm not sure whether I agree performance is "very bad" on mobile -- it may be less performant but that is surely to be e

That Backblaze page (not surprisingly) compares their prices to a fairly expensive S3 pricing tier and makes other assumptions in Blackblaze's favour. For some use cases B2 is more expensive e.g. one copy of my backups goes to AWS Deep

I've recently switched back to Windows 11 from Linux and while it is certaintly better than what it was, is still way behind what Linux has.

Was the Thinkpad running Windows? I find Linux (Debian distro running Wayland) on Thinkpads to be exceptionally good -- on par with (and in fact I would dare say better than) MacOS on Mac hardware.

It depends on what gear you get. Some gear do backhaul over a different channel which doesn't cause reduction in WiFi bandwidth on the channel being used for end-user devices. E.g. some Netgear Orbi models do this such as the one I use

Yep this is the case at most (if not all) the brands e.g. Z, BP, Mobil, etc. But it does vary by site (and possibly time of the day and/or whether they have enough staff to monitor etc). In my experience pay-after-fill has not been the

Many fuel stations here in NZ have switched to pay first then fill for cash payments. Most stations I go to have signs saying 'Please go inside to pay first' or words to that effect on the pumps. However many chains have introduce

For example...? My experience is that DP is excatly like HDMI from the end user's perspective but happy to learn more.

WhatsApp has this feature and it drives me nuts. My roll is full of crap people (especially chat groups) send me and I have to clean it up every now and then. I surely hope Signal doesn't do this and keeps the current approach of allow

Yet I'd wager most HN readers have a grand total of zero XMPP contacts. Myself included. Proving the GPs point.

For me when I consider the cost of my time the Raspi in my experience is much more expensive. I've enjoyed my experiment with the Raspi but honestly would have saved si much time and hassle if I'd just went with a cheap x86 machin

Indeed. If I ever end up in the cloud version of Word (or indeed any other app) my first instinct is to click 'Open in App'.

You got the nicer Androids. Most of the Androids on the market unfourtently aren't very good in terms of using modern hardware, using the latest Android OS (shops continue to sell Android phones running versions of Android several year

This is for the carrier side of the equation. Even if a carrier uses only one vendor for all their cell tower RAN equipment, they would need to support whatever phones end-users use e.g. Samsung/Apple/etc. It's more like Netf

Happens quite often in airlines that operate a range of types. E.g. Airlines that operate both the 320 and 321, 777-200 and 777-300, etc often swap aircraft between pair of similar types but slightly different number of seats to match deman

They push lots of MS when setting up Windows. My most recent install had them try to bribe me to sign up for a gaming service with a free month. That was only one example I saw during the install process alone. Doesn't include the shit

Can you clarify what you mean excatly. What you describe is possible in Windows out of the box. I think since Windows 7 or so. Or maybe your description is of a different feature I'm not familiar with.

Interesringly the default DE in MOST Linux distros is GNOME which does not do what you describe, instead it follows the MacOS approach of alt-tab going through apps and not windows. I agree it is frustrating though! Have recently moved back

At work I have a Windows laptop that I plug into a dock with two additional monitors. Windows correctly returns windows to the screen it was previously using if I unplug and then plug the laptop back into the dock. Is that not the desired b

My experience across 2 Lenovo machines is that Linux support on Lenovo hardware is pretty much 1st class compared to other major PC brands. Not surprised they've done this to be honest.

Sometimes networks will route IPv6 traffic over different paths compared to IPv4 although that could actually be either an improvement or an regression depending on which gets the better path.

There's a lot of websites out there that does TLS 1.3. Surely not an issue for MITM boxes? Otherwise they wouldn't be able to access much...

Sounds like SharePoint in some ways (except the payroll stuff). Not a fan of SharePoint but it does offer opportunities to centralise stuff into one place.

If I know what carriers fly the route I always go direct to them. I might check the Skyscanner type sites to confirm which carriers fly the route but I've never booked a flight through them. Generally if you book direct it is much less
