Nothing Republicans ever do is in the interest of common good. Nothing. They should be laughed right out of the House for even thinking about proposing this BS.

On Windows 10 you can have separate virtual desktops. You can use win+tab to add and switch to one and then bring all of your work windows over to it. I used to use that when I began WFH but got out of the practice. You can switch between t

There's this article about using small containers: https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2018/05/ditch-the-batterie... But it's not talking about using cheap things like plastic bottles. I'd be interest

Well that's terrifying and now I'm shopping for a camera cover for my phone.

Am I missing something? The Mythbusters clip they post clearly shows that the plane is not stationary as the article claims. Even though the surface it's traveling on is moving in the opposite direction it's still moving forward.

The cheapest LTO-8 drive I can find is around $3000 I'd pay $80 for tapes if I could get the drive for a couple hundred. I can't afford a drive that costs $3000 plus $80 per tape that I need. That's not even how much this new

I was excited until I saw it was tape. Drives will probably be thousands or tens of thousands of dollars and then the individual tapes would probably be in the hundreds or more. Since this tech is almost exclusively sold to enterprises and

The fact that Samsung won't even provide Android 10 for my Note8 should be criminal, even by their policy of only updating their devices for two "major" revisions. They shipped it with Android 7 when Android 8 was already out

Getting so sick of the ads and such online. And every website has an adblocker detector now. You can't just look something up any more and end up on a website where someone wants to help you. You always end up on a website where someon

Why not just have overhead lines that you can attach to when you need a charge? Do it like the street cars. Or have something like a railroad you can drive up onto and then it charges you while you're traveling over it.

Any chance you could post a list of the textbooks you used?

You could buy monitors meant to be used as external monitors for laptops. I think most are 15.6" but there's some available at 17". I know that's nowhere near the 24" you use but you could probably carry an addition

More details would be awesome. Maybe a post somewhere (github?) with pictures and ideas of what you can do with all of this stuff?

Microsoft has made great strides in opening up some of their code lately and the focus seems to be more and more on Online services. I hope one day, sooner or later, they go all in and open source Windows. That would be a great day.

Saying "like a baby mosquito on the back of an giant elephant" is not a defamation. It's a metaphor. He's saying that the project doesn't really threaten Microsoft so they'll probably just ignore it.

Its the feel good story of the year. j/k Super Mario Bros shouldn't even be under copyright anymore. Our copyright laws are horrible and abusive.

I just want to sync by documents somewhere I can control and have portable versions that can also sync with that location. Even if it's something like Git.

No, they do not own it. Copyright law gives them legal ability to profit off of it for a limited time without having to compete with people copying it. After this protection expires it is supposed to go to the public, to which it belongs. T

This is kinda why I hate copyright law the way it exists right now. Companies shouldn't be allowed to sit on and kill IP that they're not using. Especially when it's part of millions of people's culture now. Copyright la

On one hand, I can totally understand bad feelings about this. Especially with how people have been treated and the fact that people want to play the game as it was and not in a shallow imitation of itself. On the other hand, I can understa

It's a start but I hope it expands from there. As someone else noted, Farm equipment is hardly the only area where DRM has been applied to hurt and tollgate people.
