   I found the Android client very easy to use. You can import a config file or scan a QR code to setup a profile. If you know what you are doing, you can setup it up manually. Compared to the Cisco client we use for work, wireguard seemed bet

   Really happy to see this practice banned. Sadly it will not take effect for another year. Unfortunately, this is only one of many significant issues with US healthcare.

   I recently noticed plastic pieces getting into my food from a plastic cutting board I had used for several years. While this was easy to replace with wood, it's not going to be easy to replace plastic pipes, packaging and other materia

   I am not so sure Tesla is overvalued. Oil prices are not going to be this low forever, and I expect a massive increase in demand for electric vehicles once gas goes above $4/gallon again. Plus, millennials seem to greatly prefer the Te

    Sleep/wake has been 100% perfect on my X1 Carbon running Linux. Not a single issue since I got the device over a year ago. Battery drain is higher during sleep than a Mac though.

    Zero issues for me. They even released a firmware update for the fingerprint scanner to add Linux support a few months ago. I have a 7th gen.

    That is unrelated to the school schedule. Most bus drivers aren't going to care if their routes start at 6, 7 and 8am or 8, 9 and 10am.

    Even worse, different brands can be the opposite of what you are use to. I had one where the big button was for more water. Now I have one that the little button is for less frequent use.
