Pretty cool, I wonder if it changes the chemical composition of the soil in any way compared to a regular potato.

Yeah I completely agree but this is the current reality of modern day UK and I highly doubt it will change. If you don't have a device they literally expect you to go to the library or to the job centre to log your activity data. They

I was initially sceptical at first but after a few days you really start to appreciate it. A bigger screen is just better for a lot of things - reading, web browsing, video, gaming etc. I put a quadlock universal mount on the back of my cas

I can second this, when I was in the Apple ecosystem I bought and returned many apps without issue. They might have a problem with it if you leave it too long but if you request within 48 hours of purchase you should be fine.

I wonder how long it will take for tech like foldable screens to make it's way to devices like this. After some scepticism, I've recently transitioned to a foldable and it does feel like the next evolution in phones, even if the t

Hard disagree. Not having some kind of device (be that a smart phone, tablet or laptop) is going to make life very difficult, particularly if you have to access any kind of government service in the developed world. Might be different in th

You'd still be able to purchase and download the songs but you can also stream for discovery and the artist would still get paid fairly for it. It's basically a store but with the option to pay outright or to use a micro installme

Here's my idea for an indie music service. No idea if the numbers would work out viable but I'm sure with a bit of tweaking they could. The customer pays £11/month. The service keeps £1 for operating costs. The customer then

Surely the "efficiency" is just being transferred from software to hardware e.g the hardware designers are having to come up with more efficient designs, shrink die sizes etc to cope with the inefficiency of the software engineers

Slightly off topic question, but does anyone know if there is any school of thought that holds both sides as being necessary? It seems the traditional Christians hold the physical Yahweh god as being the "true" god whereas the gno

It's buggy but a page refresh or settings tweak normally does the job of getting the dual subtitles working which is the main thing I use it for and there's nothing better out there as far as I'm aware. Tbh I find it odd that

It's not useless at all but the quality of the courses varies. I've been doing the English to Spanish course (the most developed course on there), I'm on Section 6 (Upper B1) and I can now read the majority of Spanish subtitl

What I don't get about all of this is why one of the big players don't invest heavily in Plan9/Inferno and promoting it. Surely having the networking and clustering code baked in to the OS makes the whole thing both easier an

The higher end S22 Ultra models even have 12GB RAM which does go to show how ridiculous it is that Apple consider 8GB of RAM to be acceptable for a laptop at that price point in this day and age.

Exactly. They've been getting away with it for close to 50 years at this point so the pain of getting them to where they should be if the profits had been shared fairly and not routed to investors and the C-Suite is absolutely massive.
