Refunds are very complicated. How does the co even know who bought? As it goes thru several layers of distribution chain. Assuming they want to refund of course. I suppose they will claim they reduced prices (or more likely deferred price i

There's several AOSP based ROMs in forums like xda. Mostly developed by enthusiasts. Recall using one years ago on my Samsung device with happy results. That was long before banking apps etc. Wondering what's the difference with t

Lol yeah.. Anyway in any serious application queries fly past like crazy, create temporary tables, pull the columns from several, and do stuff that's hard to interpret on the fly. Especially a software you just use, didn't write.

Strange...was just watching the old Glenn Ford / Rita Hayworth classic Gilda on YT. Also featured a Tungsten cartel. Was wondering why they picked Tungsten of all things. Now I know!

Yeah likely just thrown away. My early phones were all Ericsson later Alcatel which had a nice AA battery powered one! That was in 2000-01. First camera phone I think was a Siemens. What a decline for European brands!

That's exactly what history should be about. Ordinary lives of ordinary people. But it's mostly which King fought with which emperor and slept with which socialite.

There's an Ericsson GH388 phone I used in 90s! IIRC it was my first mobile. Never used Nokia though it had major market share those days.

I am not much of a programmer only fool around a bit for fun and occasional profit. I find Helix to be very good for coding. Compared to Neovim, I could get LSPs going for go, c without any effort. Only thing is I haven't figured out m

I am no expert, but SQLite does have in memory store? At least for tables that need it..ofc sync of the writes to this store may need more work.

I agree...there is scale and then there is scale. And then there is scale like Facebook. We need not assume internet FB level scale for typical biz apps where one instance may support a few hundred users max. Or even few thousand. Over engi

That depends on the use case. HN is not a good example. I am referring to business applications where users submit data. Ofc in these cases we are looking at 00s not millions of users. The answer is good enough.

As a backend database that's not multi user, how many web connections that do writes can it realistically handle? Assuming writes are small say 100+ rows each? Any mitigation strategy for larger use cases? Thanks in advance!

Never tried that in my Japan trips as life is too rushed. But have seen old Japanese cafe in Singapore where jap patrons sit for hours reading manga sipping coffee. I'm sure the culture is there in Japan too..

Agree on the paper cup burning the tongue. Hate that too. But then coffee gets cold within minutes in porcelain cup. Solution: I bring along a flask and use the paper cup as a cup and flask as cache. Means I lose the discount offered on byo

I understand and agree with the logic of repairability and user servicability. No arguments there. Point is why should that be premium for non marketing reasons? For instance, is soldered RAM somehow cheaper than RAM slots? Same for SSD, Wi

Yes the file names are something unknown. It has a software to access. They did a damn good job. For instance, in Disk 1, there is a big binary file mad.m1 492MB. That seems to hold content, but not sure what file type or which program can

I have the CD backed up as ISO files which I can mount. Since these days laptops don't have CD players. Need to try on latest windows 11 I gave up earlier. For a while had a windows 2000 virtual machine that worked.

Replacing battery, KB, RAM, SSd in most Elitebook, Latitudes used to be easy. Not anymore atleast with Dell. Most RAM soldered. But if it lasts 3-4 years I guess many end up upgrading anyway. My Latitude 5330 has everything soldered even th

Sorry I didn't buy framework laptop but did find their prices high. Regarding assigning premium to repairability, wonder what's really premium about that? I mean in terms of materials used. Ignoring premiums paid for branding, I w

What's the legal status of all this AI code?! Will it be likely that someone whose code was lifted as part of "learning" can sue?!
