I suppose one could question what is an acceptable level of risk. Security is hard, effective security even harder. Threat actors are looking for any way in and when they attack a target, it's not just personal information that they

I disagree. If you install Windows as a system builder or on a system from a manufacturer without their specific build, it definitely doesn't work out of the box. There is a lot of driver discovery and installation that needs to be d

I notice that their laptop chargers are not using the now-ubiquitous and standards compliant USB-C interface. I currently work with a ThinkPad X280 and a MPB, both of which use a USB-C port. Seems like an odd decision on Purism's part,

This comment really resonates with me. The difference for me is that we have an amazing office space, comfortable chairs, big desks and monitors and ample space. But, it's open plan and extremely noisy, with interruptions being frequen

I thought that when I saw the site. Surely it should be "Are these software developers ready?". It's not as snappy or click-baity though. The truth is that this is a really useful site, despite its name.

What if Dell, HP, Lenovo and Microsoft get together with AMD or someone like Samsung and start knocking out ARM, or even RISC-V SOC based machine that compete with Apple? Apple doing this could go to proving that ARM is viable on the deskto

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; there is smugness from all sides. There does appear to be a an awful lot more coming from the FOSS community, but perhaps that cognitive bias on my part, id suggest that what you see is the same.

You never did “own” it on a CD, or for that matter a on vinyl or cassette. You owned a license to privately listen to your copy of the music, that lasts as long as the medium is playable. Recording from the radio is technically unlawful,

It's not the original. It's a 2048×935 @ 72ppi, at a guess about 1/4 the actual size shot and it's been compressed so it can be uploaded onto a website. It's hardly a real representation of the capabilities of the c
