Since going [near] unlimited screen time we have seen a huge change in how our son (8yo) engages with the iPad and computer which has resulted in a much happier and healthier use of technology. As soon as the iPad/computer was no longe

I have used a few of these devices and I am always disappointed as they feel so sluggish and lack features I had on my Psion 5mx more than twenty years ago! The Psion had a better[1] screen, excellent battery life from two AA batteries, ver

I managed to get two, a digital (€400) and a Blu-ray model (€500) a few weeks ago from Carrefour here in [redacted]. It is a bit of a pain having to monitor stock drops but most online stores have a queue system in place as well as purchase

I played with it for about an hour on an LG C8 55" OLED and was impressed. I think it is pretty clear there is a level of detail difference between the 'white room' scenes with Neo and the 'city'. I would be shocked

Out of interest I did a little test this afternoon. Got a 128GB SanDisk USB flash drive. Used diskpart to clean the disk then created a single NTFS GPT partition. Extracted the current Windows 11 ISO they offer for download onto the drive u

Some systems do indeed come with NTFS EFI support. However it isn’t a common thing. For example the new Microsoft Surface Studio Laptop I was using a few weeks ago does not support NTFS and the support documentation gives you instructions t

Somewhat related… for a while now Microsoft have provided publicly downloadable iso images for Windows 10 that you can’t image to a usb drive without needing special EFI NTFS software from a third party which in turn requires disabling secu

I am glad my not-so-helpful post was not downvoted by those that didn't get the inside joke :) As a more earnest reply to OP I guess you could say I have been "jaded" about the internet/web since the late 2000s. The rise

Right now the biggest concern is that this variant is the most mutated from the original strain and it is unknown how effective, if at all, our current vaccines are against it. As to is it worse (i.e. more contagious, more deadly, increas

Indeed. I have suffered depression and just the idea of writing a list was too much. At times I did literally nothing for days at a time until I was forced to. I didn't eat anything that wasn't already in the house and that I co

Is ten years really that old for a keyboard? My father still uses a generic Dell keyboard he got with a PC in 2002 because he didn’t like all the media keys on the keyboards that came with new computers.

I get what you're saying but I only like to release to the public something that actually works . Sometimes when I have just hacked something together it is full of hardcoded paths for my local system as I never planned for it to be a

Having used many Dell XPS with the webcam in different locations they're all terrible . If a notch is the compromise needed for thinner bezel while retaining good webcam quality that is fine with me. You don't lose any screen s

I have been running Windows 11 on a second machine since the preview came out. It is an old Dell Latitude from 2011 or so. A 3rd generation Intel i5 CPU, 8GB RAM and a Samsung 250GB SATA SSD. It runs Windows 11 very well. It ran Windows 10

A custom domain with wildcard for catch all is how I have been creating logins for the past 17 years. It is fascinating to see which addresses suddenly start getting spam down the road. It is also very easy to nuke an address this way once

This was the reason I returned my Surface Book 2 back in 2018. I got it out of my laptop bag one day and burnt my fingers it was so hot. Fans at 100% and it was sitting at 99C just one degree away from shutdown. That plus a whole host of an

I have used yabai but unfortunately you need to disable SIP so it can inject the Dock.app process with some custom functionality. I forge the specifics but last I checked that had not changed so it was a no go for me.

Tiling window managers are great and they are the biggest overall UX difference I miss when using macOS and Windows vs Linux. I've tried many things for both macOS and Windows to get that "i3wm feel" but nothing quite scratch

The blocking is done based on the filter list. Sounds like one of the included (and enabled by default) filter lists in uBO is causing issues. Did you try disabling all uBO filters to see if the issue persists? If you can narrow it down t
