If you kind of know how to fix the problem and if you are doing it in your spare time as any other house tidying activity, yes, it's worth it. Add to it the value of the fun, if you're that kind of person. If you are spending a da

That's not easy to accomplish. Even a "read the docs at URL" is going to download a ton of stuff. You can bury anything into those GETs and POSTs. I don't think that most developers are going to do what I do with my Fire

About stopping and fixing problems, did anybody have had this kind of experience? 1. Working on Feature A, stopped by management or by the customer because we need Feature B as soon as possible. 2. Working on Feature B, stopped because ther

Yes, because it's almost the only cross-platform way to do it. It used to be email, then pictures become almost too big to fit into attachments (and bandwidth, think about the days of 3G) and messages have less friction anyway.

The last laptop I bought from HP was a ZBook 15 in 2014. I'm still using it. It's rock solid.

Yes of course. It would be great.

I happen to live at the crossing of two major flight lines, E-W and N-S, so I might actually attempt to do that. Maybe a lot of 1 tenth exposures could be enough. Trial and errors to get started, as usual.

I'm conflicted about this matter. I use a Bluetooth earpiece on my phone because it's more convenient: you can move around a room with the phone on a table, no pockets, and you can wear and unwear t-shirts and sweaters. When I can

According to the specs it's 154 x 68 x 8.6 mm and 182 grams, so it's more compact than most phones of 2025 but not really compact. My Samsung A40 is smaller and lighter but it's 4 years older.

Yes, my mother walked me to one of those parks sometimes but it was a little pointless when I could play with my friends outside my home or my grandparents' home. The kids at the park were strangers. We played together but we did not c

I think that something else changed and should be added to the analysis: the number of children. There are less of them so there are less chances to reach a critical mass that lets kids play together every day. When I was little it was comm

I'm with you and personally I boycott Apple because of the walled garden, for what it's worth. However it is a better way (a more convenient way?) for companies to make money and it gave an idea to legislators and regulators. Now

What changed is that Apple made the masses familiar with the concept of installing software only from a store with a vetting process. For short, the walled garden. That was mostly an alien thing in the world of software. All of us grew wit

HDD can be written multiple times with random data if data centers really have to protect what their former customers wrote on them. I never looked at those details in standard contracts. There is also encryption at rest.
