if this was their only intention they would let third party repair shops access to genuine parts or software tools. the reality is that third party "apple certified" repair shops are contractually less capable than uncertified o

Let's all recall that the gnome project started out as an alternative to KDE using then-proprietary Qt library. Whether you like GNOME or not is not important. In fact, you should be MORE HAPPY that gnome gets money if you think it suc

In personal banking, at least of those I've experienced, the numbers are displayed in both plain language ("forty-two thousand sixty-nine") as well as numerals ("42,069"). Wonder if this would help prevent this kind

Funny enaugh, once an update rendered my Silverblue install unbootable. I had to boot to a live image to fix GRUB misconfiguration. Now I know it's not invincible, but it does work well otherwise.

Pro-nuclear side seem to argue for science rather than feelings, and proceeds to downvote non-corroborating evidences anyway. Horseshoe theory?

I live in the spitting distance from the world's largest nuclear plant complex in the world. I do not live in a daily fear. In fact it's very easy to forget. The current government is very bullish on nuclear. The government howeve

Surface lineup is a weird one because Microsoft uses a non-standard firmware, but even still the support on many devices are great. I have a Surface Go 3 and despite the poor processor it flies on Fedora and I use it daily to do light tasks

It's not just an opinion, it's a physical reality. We only have the Earth's worth of biomass that we can use. And unlike former Twitter CEO's pipe dream we aren't anywhere near being able to venture into an exoplane

the exclusion zone of fukushima hasn't changed since the beginning even after 10+ years. same for pripyat and chernobyl, those already close to 40 years. UK had to test sheep for radioactivity in certain domestic areas up until 2012. n

I will throw another hot take: Most people don't want or need "waterproof" (read: IP-rated) phones. I haven't seen people washing phones in the sink, or using it out on the beach, (of course there will be some outliers,

I don't think korean banks run safetynet. They roll their own checks with varying levels of strictness. Most of them were fooled by Magisk Hide, but not all.

Text to speech is pretty much a solved question at this point, but nobody said it will replace voice actors, nor did it. It conquered TikTok, I'll give you that, but that's barely an accomplishment. For me AI art is the same thing
