Yes of course. I am unhappy with the device for several reasons. Too bad, because they almost got it right in so many other ways. My wife's smaller and slightly less powerful xps is doing great on the other hand.

1. I have kids and they don't know how to deal with them well. They are not at all aggressive, just a very slightly clumsy as kids tend to be - and the tech is unforgiving. They are human beings and the tech should work for them too. 2

I had the same xps nightmare. I fixed it by getting a PTM7950 phase change thermal pad for cpu and gpu, and swapping to Linux (which I would have done anyways). Went from 100c to 49c idle. PTM7950 is incredible.

At the cost of soldering new usb ports every couple of years (a couple hundred from a local tech) because they are extremely fragile. Fine for phones, I hate it on my laptop. On top of that, the gan chargers are made as small as possible an

That is close. They hold a bit less info because it is for internal US use only. Its also about the required documentation to have one issued. Also, the reason many countries went biometric at the same time 2 decades ago is because the US a

Obviously the presumably large amount of money spent to interconnect could have been spent adding local production and storage. It would be a waste of money if there was a reasonable path to local energy independence that was neglected.

Thank you, it looks fascinating. Putting it in my hobby project queue at position 1, right after my current one.

Are you using their "reserved IPs"? I was thinking of starting to use them, but now I wonder if it is part of their load balancing stack under the hood.

The major difference is condominium associations are cooperatives, and mobile home parks are owned by a landlord while you are the tenant. The point that is being made is there's a trend for these landlords to become predatory. In a co

I see you have done a fair amount of work to document calibration for various scenarios. Have you tried to calibrate to ignore cats? Can you prioritize different algorithms to focus on size rather than speed of movement? Also, I use an ebay

Not that I know of, but there are many subscription services that are based on institutional size / income, and they are more often than not self-certifying.

I will say here something I have said and has proved unpopular before. The complexity is mainly something of scale. I would propose more permissive MIT style licensing for small companies, and something stricter for larger companies. It is

The next level up from the Democrats objectively horrible attitude is fascism, which we are currently attempting. I believe Americans have a strong cultural preference to be extreme bullies whenever they can get away with it. So often we ar

To incrementally improve that tactic, systemd has RandomizedDelaySec, which is a convenient way to reduce the possibility of scheduling conflicts.

Two main reasons: 1. It's easier to form friendships in a smaller group. In larger groups it is much easier for it to became a wall of people rather than individual persons. Large groups can be extremely overwhelming for children (they

I think you are missing the context of what I said: I didn't say: all countries with large class sizes are self-centered. I said: in a self-centered society, smaller class sizes would be a big help to undo the harm that currently exist

My kids went to charter/public Waldorf. I personally am Catholic (not Protestant-adjacent like Waldorf tradition) and even though they do have some weird ceremonies that I am happy the charter Waldorfs don't adopt, my decidedly ag

I have experience with Montessori, and I love the system. But it doesn't work for everybody. The Montessori educators I have known were open about the common situation where about 1 in 20 kids just do not learn with the lack of structu

The biggest problem with public school is school size and class size. The last century of school building built prison-like megaliths, when it should have built a much more distributed system. Class sizes under 20 and schools under 120 at l

For the same reason I would use gpt to solve something basic like this: It is the simplest and fastest way to get it done right now. I was not trying to be inflammatory, although apparently I did not understand it would be a big deal to peo

It was easy enough and I have enough experience with kde and linux to know it would work. I have no interest in doing this although I do similar things with "Input Remapper". My point, which I tried to state kindly, was it is not

This seemed like something relatively easy for chatgpt to handle. The response is a bit complicated compared to what it sounds like you are looking for (it's not from the kde settings gui), but still a two minute "fix".

SAP is a German company that was pressured by the US government (surely with EU blessing - Huawei still has too much control over foreign infrastructure). I guess the lesson is that every country has to replicate software autarchy, and th

That is such an awkward comment and not really worthy of hn. Have you never logged into a bank website?

That is the point. So much stock market activity is just gambling with a lot of veneer to cover it up. Enough with the games.

The proposal is because I don't think a bunch of people playing games with money provide any sort of value. If you could only buy a valuable company in such a way that options and HFT trades were excluded, then you would just have to i

I would rather see an exchange that requires buyers to hold their shares for at least x days or weeks, and slow everything way down so that people are actually forced to make decisions based on fundamentals rather than trading based on jitt
