"Apple should adopt Dell's business model, it will work briliantly" is a thing that Apple have heard for a long time. When they tried in the 90s they went broke and had to be bailed out by Microsoft.

The largest domestic breeds push up to 300 to 400 kilos. We had one free-range pig on our farm that was certainly over a quarter-tonne, and she was agile enough that she'd occasionally run down chickens and eat them, and jaws strong en

NILFS is absolutely wonderful; it was very unfortunate that Linus chose to dub btrfs as the ext4 successor all those years ago, because it cut off a lot of interest in the plethora of interesting work that was going on at the time. A decade

I guess this depends, but most ISPs where I live will do a static IPv4 for residential. Mine also does a /56 IPv6 allocation if you ask.

Yep. Then you can enjoy all the risks of cash, with the additional benefits that you have to manage digital security as well. Nothing like losing all your money because you can't unlock your wallet any more. Or sent it to the tip.
