This is the most bullshit answer. By that logic we should all just be buying things non stop just to throw them out because it gives more people jobs. When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when

Just about anything can last that long if maintained. Current phones struggle to last that long simply because that's what works best for companies and there is little consumer demand for change. Our current lifestyle of buying a new p

Marketing is fine. If I buy a drill because of an advert I won't feel compelled to buy a new one next year because it has a slightly different shape and my current one got artificially limited.

The end of marketing phones as fashion devices. Phones should be seen as tools and they should be expected to last about 8-10 years. There is no reason they can't other than apple and the rest make a lot of money on people throwing out

Slow is fine for me. The ones I look at tend to have a slow but quality stream of posts. Encourages you to check just once a day and leave a few well thought out comments. The slowness also means your comments get read by more people before

Lots of invite only websites around that have really great communities. Getting in can be a bit hard but once you are in they tend to cross invite to other invite only sites.

I can see a lot of value in routers becoming mini home servers + IoT device hubs. There should also be some standard way for devices to let the router know if they should have access to the outer internet so things like lightbulbs only have

The apps on sandstorm are super out of date. When I checked a few months ago the gitlab version was from 2016

Desktops are used by almost anyone doing gaming or serious video editing. Obviously not everyone but still common for a lot of people.

Basically all home routers block incoming connection because so many shitty IoT devices were built to trust anything that is able to connect to it. My router doesn't even have an option to turn off the block. Can only unblock ports 1 b

Yeah thats what I have done and its not too bad. The one question I have is what email to I put for my domain stuff. If my domain name provider suspends my domain for some reason how do I contact them if my email has also gone down?

Its not particularly hard to back up your google data. The hard part is switching emails when the old one gets suddenly taken from you.

So if the official documentation isn't enough and info on random websites isn't enough than what possible source can be used? Do we have to find a group of academics to look at the file and write a PDF saying "yep the officia

File format is .fit its used in a lot of GPS devices specifically for cycling. Its not super hard to find info on but the info is scattered over random sources

Well all the info I have about it comes from a single source published by the developers of the format but apparently just one reference isn't good enough.

The problem with a blog post is others can't improve it to add more info or fix mistakes. The wiki format is perfect for this.

It is a very notable file format used by many devices and lots of software can read it. The only reason its hard to reference is because the company that develops it basically just publishes a C file with how to use it and everyone uses tha

If I recall correctly it still requires you to install all the clients for the different game stores and use them for purchases and updates and lutris simply displays all of your games. Not nearly as useful as we need but its significantly

I have lurked on forums before. Usually its because I just check them sometimes on my phone and can't be bothered making an account.

Wikipedia does a lot to prevent new users participating. The mediawiki software is very confusing and has a lot of different functionality crammed in to the same page edit tool that doesn't even make sense. I attemped to create a page

What we need is an open source game library manager that just add steam and other as repos so there is zero friction buying games from a devs own repo.

Does fractional scailing work yet. I have 1080p on a small laptop and the text is too small to read but 2x is huge. Currently I just have large text enabled in accessibility mode.

Its not particularly interesting though. A calculator is a kind of specilized AI that can do maths massively faster than a human can.

What stops you doing that is the organisation trying to construct a moon base has more money than you so your patents don't apply anymore.
