I was thinking about this for a second. Specifically about saving on employees. I guess it is safe to assume on-board jobs don't have a bright future. Those are up for automation. So maintenance staff remains? But can't that be a

Wait, you are saying you get less than 6 hours for average use? Everytime there is a macOS vs Linux thread it is repeated that things are quite bad on Linux. I kind of accepted it as the major downside. I easily get 6h on my Ubuntu machine

Some help for anyone looking into DD-WRT. I use it on 2 routers (a dirt cheap TP-link and a higher end Netgear) for >3 years. Both have been stable and performant. No known issues. Things are definitely better than stock firmware. The ap

I definitely didn't want to say they are bad. For me, personally, the switch from Windows was rough. Not because I consider any of them to be superior, but because the way things are rendered is just so different. A more compact font (

Related to Ubuntu's Unity (might apply to other environments): I remember last time I switched from Windows (~3 years ago) it was once again harsh on my eyes. The way things (fonts?) are rendered is just different. What made me survive

The Ubuntu XPS 13 has been on sale since early 2012. With 3 versions released in the last ~2 years. I guess, after almost 5 years, they are quite serious about it? Although the effort is shared with their Windows siblings.

In the Configurations section (where you see the first 4 models), you have to push Next until you are at the end of the list. The last 3 models mention Ubuntu (last 4 in the US).

As a reminder, on a larger scale: Apple's main focus is on design. Not build quality [0]. This doesn't exclude a unique production process of course. But I think it is important to not mix up both when forming an opinion about the

Don't forget the Ctrl - Fn key swap. On some Lenovo models they are the same size (and can be swapped), but not on the Carbon X1.

Alternatively, there is the iCalendar recurrence rule syntax [0]. It shows how complex recurrency rules can get. Cron could be considered as a good mix between complexity and brevity (readability). Shameless plug: I tried to create a format
