A NUC-like machine + Linux has worked wonders as a computer for an older family member of mine. We ran into a plethora of update and performance issues with Win10. Installed Linux and never looked back and it's been far more stable.

Interesting to see how much current design has affected my gut reaction. At first my mind immediately went to "there's no way this is the case..." But looking at Win98 icons and UI... I really do miss that interface. Contrast

This assumes the tax money would be used for this purpose instead of hundreds of other things, whereas their current action is reserving money directly for the housing. I'm not anti-tax, but I do realize tax money is often misused or p

Does diluting it with seawater (after which I assume it is returned to the sea?) result in an endlessly increasing salt level in the seawater, over a long period of time, that will reach a dangerous level at some point? Edit: I realize my n

It is my main online music service, mostly for the fast / minimal UI that seems to work quite well even on slower machines and navigates well back and forth between items. It's one of the best streaming service experiences I'

Are leptin, insulin, etc released because of what the brain "thinks" you are eating, or are they released as a response to what actually goes into your body? Aspartame tastes sweet and one could easily imagine the brain "thin

Yeah, even simple no-name usb cables can be dangerous. A friend had purchased a pack of cheap microUSB cables on eBay, and was charging his phone in my car with one of them. The cable itself started getting uncomfortably warm to the touch

I have owned multiple cables, a 4-port wall charger, a car charger, and a bluetooth speaker, and I have not had a single issue with any of them. In fact, the Anker car charger I got was specifically to replace a cheapo-brand one that kept d

This is the internet equivalent of those "get rich quick" TV infomercials, where the only people getting rich quick are the ones providing sham classes/books/seminars and charging outrageous amounts for them.

An exception I could see to this is if somehow technology could be employed to affect those cultural/social norms? Maybe the problem is where we're aiming the technology, and not technology itself. Though, I could be wrong about t

A reversion that very few will undertake. Unless there is some kind of innovation that can affect that (social engineering? who knows) So in light of the harsh reality that obesity is essentially a given, what CAN be done?

I used to be an Electron hater, but I realize the problem is less Electron itself, and more has to do with how well it was used to develop the app. VSCode and Discord to me are notable exceptions, whereas most other Electron apps feel prett

As expected, even if speeds are high, the data is still incredibly expensive. $70 for 15GB... why care about super fast speeds if you can barely use them.

I switched to Affinity and never looked back at Photoshop/Illustrator. That being said, I used them at a hobbyist level, nothing very complex, so while it was an easy transition for me, it may not be for everyone. But I've seen qu

All AMP is doing is providing training wheels for developers to create non-crappy versions of their websites by restricting what they include. AFAIK, there is no special magic to AMP that makes it fast, that can't be accomplished with
