Purism is putting a lot of money into maintainability on the software side. The Librem 5 runs Linux 5.3, and as far as I can tell, have every intention of making sure that their phone runs a mainline kernel. Any Android phone you get pretty

Why is it upsetting? It isn't an instinct and isn't a basic law of nature (so it can't be derived), so at some point in time one has to learn it. So at some point they have to ask who they are. I am happy to see this communit

Nextcloud was slow for me when I tried it on a RaspPi. I have since moved it to a server (Intel NUC) and it runs significantly better for me now.

That's fair. I hear this and am thinking that it sounds that the author needs to have someone to give him an honest opinion on why he hasn't been dating. And I wonder, what would be the best way for that?

Do you have hobbies? My main two hobbies are music and D&D. I go out and play at open mic nights and have met friends there, and I have also gone to gaming stores to play D&D and made friends there. Since the folks there share a com

From reading this, I wonder if there is a business case for a "faux" dating business. Before a date, you could get certain opinions on how you look, how you present yourself, etc. And you could go on some sort of outing with someo

You can't be forced to actually work with the government. So if the governmeny makes it too much of a PITA, no one will bid or they will make the contract costs incredibly high.

I wish I had your optimism. They usually do have those. But when they blow then off, there's usually very little recourse the government can do. There is usually very little in a contract language for what happens when they get blown o

I agree with the other comment! The best time to learn is now. You're never too old.to learn about how all of this works.

Fair enough. I should probably just enjoy a story for a story.

That was my reaction too. Maybe I just work much more in hardware, but if I came across that issue, I would have just pulled out the wires for the switch and soldered a new one on there. Is there something I am missing?

For an anecdotal story, my finacee just went from a Fitbit to a Soleuos Fitness tracker. The change in ownership was one reason, but the reason was that the one she had broke 3 times within the first year of her having it. The first two tim

My assumption is this creates a boundary in which the phone manufacturers can physically sever, as both have physical hardware switches for camera, Wifi/Bluetooth, Cell, Mic. Additionally, I have seen the SoCs with integrated modems re

When I bought one, Charles & Colvard was a good source. Helzberg Diamonds is also a good place to look, and they can set one you bought online for a reasonable price.

It does apply to companies. Its called people just won't apply there. However, those people don't make blog posts about it. For example, if I look for a new job, there is no way I will apply to Google (I say if because I see no re

Yep. That was really bad on Reddit during the election. If you even broached certain topics about Hillary, it was downvoted/flagged right away. Then the day after the election, Those topics actually came up.

If you don't mind, does it give you a /64 subnet? And do you know if you can get a larger subnet? I am interested in this, but I have three VLAN subnets for my network, and the last time I tried it, it turned into a massive headac

How on earth is that the card issuer's fault? The chargeback is for the exact fraudulent type of activity described in the article, and the business who allows it should be punished. Heck, that is the primary reason I use my credit car
