   Not quite the same but the most comparable product I'm aware of is the Panasonic "Let's Note" line, which intend to be durable business ultraportables with lots of ports and replaceable (if not hot-swappable) batteries T

   I always set Caps Lock to act the same as Control. One of the benefits is that I don't have to care about the Fn/Ctrl placement.

   I'd love to try one of the new VAIOs to find out if the quality is the same. https://us.vaio.com/collections/vaio-sx

   The book that "clicked" for me is: Cryptography Engineering: Design Principles and Practical Applications, by Ferguson/Schneier/Kohno (2015) [1] In plain language it walks through what I wanted to know, in a modern and p

   Yeah, my argument is simply: you can be a small modern laptop with a ton of ports. Sure there are tradeoffs (e.g. battery-life). But here's a 14" with as many ports as the VAIO, a 3:2 display, a hot-swappable second battery, and

   A bit off topic but as much as we can praise the return of some ports on the new MBP, it's amazing to compare with products like https://us.vaio.com/collections/vaio-sx12

   Some laptops have two batteries, one of which can be hot-swapped or removed and charged while the other keeps running in the meantime. Would love to see that on Macbooks and could be a fair compromise for the airplane problem, though obvio

    There have been prior threads on HN about dumb tvs with several options. The LG "Commercial Lite" (for Business) series has some non-smart options, at least in Canada. It was just a few years ago I got my 55" 4k LG dumb tv

    Thanks, let me clarify my question with a proper example. Let's say I install A-1.0 and A-1.1. Both versions will depend on say a resource file they expect is at /usr/share/A.res I was thinking that nix would symlink &

    Off-topic question about Nix. I understand it works by redirecting symlinks from, say, one version of a package's files to another. Isn't there a race-condition here -- like if I invoke a program at the wrong time while it's

    Why would you think that's just a "far right" thing? Actually I don't get what you're insinuating at all. Is anyone opposed to safety protocols?

    I agree and have experienced what you wrote, except I have no idea what your last paragraph means. What are you referring to / talking about? It feels like maybe an example of the phenomenon we're talking about lol

    Also, I recommend adding a "Report" button to the page, so that would-be buyers can report if they arrived at a checkout page through fraud/misrepresentation.

    Cool, thanks for the clarification! My only suggestion would be to maybe put the name of the seller in the URL, that way you can see something about who you'd be paying before clicking the link. I'm not sure that helps any partic
