For those of you who are younger and perhaps haven't experienced it, forget the movie version of true love. This story is a much better example - it's imperfect, illogical, sometimes downright gritty and yet it persists (with bou

Call me cynical but governments employ millions of people who effectively do nothing so a few thousand more won't cause a blip on the spending graph. My only consolation is that those who don't do anything don't cause as muc

This is also the *secure* way to continue playing Ultra HD Blu-ray movies - run away from anyone's advice when they include the phrase "don't update Windows" (paraphrased). Haven't we learned to patch our system ye

Curiously there's a second article discussing compressed air energy on the front-page of Hacker News at the moment - it's about the Amish and their hacker mentality [0]. There's a beautiful discontinuity between one of the

One of the biggest reasons to keep an older laptop running is that they're likely to still support the S3 sleep state. I had a 2016 XPS15 which had good sleep characteristics, upgraded to a top-of-the-line 2020 XPS15 and it just sucks
