PureOS seems to have these exact same problems except way worse. Yes, a significant fraction of Android apps do not work on AOSP without Play Services. And 100% of Android apps do not work on PureOS. F-Droid alone has ~1800 apps. I do not s

What freedom does PureOS offer that AOSP without Google services lacks?

If you have a phone with T-Mobile spyware then it almost certainly also has a locked bootloader with no official unlock method. What are you expecting people developing alternate OSes to do about that? The obvious way to get a phone not run

Radicava was approved in Japan in 2015 and by the FDA in 2017 to treat ALS though presumably most of the research for it occurred long before then. It costs $145000 per year in the US and $35000 per year in Japan. It slows down the progress

3D Xpoint has been commercially available for years under the Optane brand name. It's much more expensive than NAND (16 and 32GB NVMe drives available for ~$2/GB) but a smallish amount in the Xbox acting as some sort of cache seem

The original Wii did not have any HD support whatsoever, the original Xbox from 2001 on the other hand actually had a few dozen games that could run in 720p.

Whether or not "using an API" requires your software to be GPL depends on how it's implemented. Going by GNU's description of what does and does not extend the GPL requirement[1] and how Blender plugins works, to me at l

Somebody recently launched a new site "Blender Depot" which hosts a bunch of Blender add-ons and provides a batch install feature. Some of the add-ons on this site are commercial plugins available for sale by their authors. All Bl

There are a few attempts, I have no idea how good they are. And they're manual transcription only. There are several open source speech recognition systems (like Deepspeech and CMUSphinx) but there don't seem to be any user-frien

There are some valid privacy complaints about Mozilla but I think they are severely overblown by a lot of people. Mozilla is very up-front about exactly what telemetry data they're collecting and what it's used for, there's e

The 580X is technically "new" but it's the same Polaris 20 GPU chip that has been around since the RX480 in 2016 and has seen several rebadges accompanied by slight clockspeed bumps. This particular rebadge is Apple-specific

It's also competing against machines such as their own iMac Pro whose base model is the $1000 cheaper and has 4x the storage and a faster GPU aside from the built in 5K monitor. That $8000 base model Boxx workstation has 20 cores inste

This is a pretty unique monitor. There are very few monitors available over 4K and none that I'm aware of with this level of brightness/dynamic range. The LG UltraFine 5K which has sort of been the de facto "Apple monitor&quo

Sure a high end workstation can be a worthwhile investment but the internals are just extremely underwhelming for the price. Even the iMac Pro seems like an incredible bargain in comparison. The base model Mac Pro is $1000 more expensive th

The cable plug is supposed to fail instead of the socket on the device. Actual testing[1] demonstrates that the microUSB socket on the device does not last the rated 10k cycles and also that the cable lasts longer than the socket on the d

Hard to say. It's actually already in stable but currently limited to a very specific set of OS/hardware combinations and they're working on gradually adding more. FF67 enabled it in stable for desktop NVIDIA hardware on Wind

From reading a lot of mailing list and bugzilla posts I get the impression that they do care about Macs but the current (very old) renderer is just never going to play nicely with MacOS without a major overhaul, and that major overhaul is W

You can still remove the top tab bar in the current version of Firefox, though it is significantly more annoying to do so than it used to be. https://github.com/piroor/treestyletab/wiki/Code-snippets-fo...

Firefox's sync feature is comparable except that it's not a privacy nightmare because it's end to end encrypted and you can also run your own sync server if you want to.

Compilation workloads are not really bandwidth sensitive at all. The existing quad-channel 32 core 2990WX compiles the Linux kernel faster than the 8 channel 32 core EPYC 7601 thanks to its higher clock speeds in spite of having half the me

The problem with prop 65 is that it has a ridiculously low bar for evidence of harm for chemicals to be placed on the list. So the list is full of things that were found to cause cancer when fed to rats at ridiculously high doses, and then

Mostly it's just because the standards say so. There's nothing about how MPEG-2 works that inherently makes it impossible to encode 4K video with it, the standard just says that MPEG-2 video shall not exceed 80Mbit/s, 1920 ho

The original Pi and Zero can only hit about 3MB/s with LUKS. The newer models can do around 10. Might be usable if you only encrypt your home folder.
