Not sure why this is being downvoted, as it's essentially a description of the lump of labour fallacy ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lump_of_labour_fallacy ).

The parent's model is more consistent if one thinks in terms of "abstractions" rather than "simplifications". As a matter of fact, I'm a big proponent of "abstraction-based" model of parenting/ed

When I've tested (December), it was the latest point release. By that time, it was already certified, so the certification must have been performed with an OEM release. I can't exclude that it's fully supported by the latest

It's a bit of a mess, as it's not clear what and how they're doing it. For example, the ThinkPad T14s AMD Gen 4 is officially Ubuntu certified, however: - they've officially promised to ship Linux as an option, last year

Yes, an amusing one: the Android app for the Berlin public transport, on the 29th, listed the results with the date of the previous day (28th). The funny thing is that the list is prefaced by a banner saying that this is a known bug, and th

The implication here is that once an open source project is widespread enough, the maintainers are morally forced to provide development and support for free. This obviously doesn't make any sense. In real world, when maintainers chang

It seems that Kopia doesn't support continuous backup, which may be a requirement for some users (detecting changes on a large number of files is resource-intensive).

It really depends on what we're comparing this to. If one compares it to a commercial solution that allows backing up to user-owned storages, then the commercial solution is simpler while having more functionality (including versioning

Describing systems in the article's terms ("5UP3R 51MPL3, BR0S") is disingenous. Backing up to multiple manually managed locations requires also maintaining those locations, which means spending time on system administration,

I switched from ST to VSC due to a few omissions and bugs in ST (don't know if they're still there). VSC is not a speed demon but it's fast enough (I think there is a certain audience who loves to hate this; JetBrains product

This works for the use case where the user never uses the companion app, which in turn means never using things like alarms, and so on. Any operation connecting the app to the phone requires syncing first, which takes an inordinate amoujnt

That really depends on which the "simple features" are, because to every user, they're different, and also, what a "watch" is. The reason I'm making this distinction is because at face value, any fitness tracke
