Try Fedora on it. I switched from Ubuntu to Fedora a while back and couldn't be happier. Not saying you will have a perfect experience but it is worth a shot if you at least like the hardware?

I can only speak for myself but I didn't leave Firefox for Chrome because of advertising. I left because a year ago Firefox was painful to use. Sync was (might still be?) incomplete, setting up quick searches was annoying, font renderi

I knew I should have clarified that I don't think it is a bad thing they are "just" front ends to mpv :) I agree with you that there isn't much (if any) advantage to doing it all again with a new media player core. I wou

MPC-HC is a superb media player but it is not surprising to see this happen. Interest in maintaining open source Windows applications written in C/Win32/C++/MFC is going to keep dropping as there are not as many people with t

I just want a widely used messaging platform that isn't owned by Facebook (Messenger and WhatsApp). Sadly Microsoft and Google seem incapable of doing it.

Tiny, single exe (and an ini for config) Windows programs have a special place in my heart. Perfectly portable, instant and lightweight. I want to cry when I see simple software like Sticky Notes in Windows 10 using dozens of MB of memory a

As with everything there are exceptions to the general rule and it appears that you are one of those exceptions. My point was more that prescribing a strong benzo like Xanax is done too easily. There are people, like yourself, who need such

Xanax withdrawal is a seriously horrible experience. Sadly it seems to be given out like candy when it shouldn't be used for more than a few days to help you get through the absolute worst moments.

Yeah basically until now if you wanted to do AR you would need to role your own or use a third party library. Having ARKit as part of iOS will make building an AR app much easier.

It seemed quite mature for a v1 release. Then again it is hard to judge from an Apple demo but it did look nice.

Very cool. As others have said I think you should add definitions for the words (even a link off to an external one is fine) and pronunciation (with audio, perhaps link to forvo.com?) would be superb.

What is your legal protection on giving bad advice? It's all good to say something along the lines of it not being legal advice, etc. But what if some advice you give wrecks that person career? How are you and your mentors protected?

This is the first thing that popped into my mind also. Also what about legal blowback if they give really bad advice?

My personal feelings on this is that in many jobs you can face having to do things that go against your principles. It is up to the individual to decide if they are willing to do such work. However I am also fortunate enough that I can pick

Not only is this stupid from a technical point of view but it could ruin the UK software industry because who in their right mind would buy any software knowing it is deliberately compromised?

It uses emulation. While it is true the user needs to download a 'game image' rather than play the game directly from disc this is because that image is a virtual hard disk that contains the game and a customised Xbox 360 virtual

Microsoft are seriously killing it in emulation these days. First I was amazed with them getting Xbox 360 (PPC) games running at full speed or better on the Xbox One (x86) and now we have x86 on ARM. They have some wizards working on th

I really wish Microsoft had made UWP cross-platform. Would be pretty amazing if I could use UWP/C# to target Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS and Android properly. With UWP being limited to just Windows I don't see it ever being a succe

Xcode is pretty crap for C and C++ imho. Qt Creator or CLion are light years ahead of Xcode.
