I never mentioned anything about accidental damage, so I am not sure why you've brought it and why you're mentioning state mandated insurance. As far as I am aware, neither Apple's warranty nor Apple Care does cover accidenta

It isn't really, because I wasn't just talking about return rights or periods, I was talking about rights when the device fails in whatever way within 6 years. http://www.apple.com/uk/legal/statutory-warr

As far as consumer rights are concerned, you shouldn't give a damn what the manufacturer discontinues. If the device fails within 6 years it should be fixed, replaced (happened to me, brand new iPhone 5 handed over immediately) or refu

Since the author quotes prices in GBP, I'd say to everyone - skip the Apple Care! In UK consumer electronics state-enforced-warranty (or whatever these particular consumer rights are called) is 6 years. That's not a typo, it is 6

It's funny that to prove your argument you're quoting a paragraph that says exactly otherwise. Not to mention, NetBSD builds are about the OS, that's kernel, tooling, base and so on, and not about packages, as in Debian'

"No ops needed". Every time I see such piece of PR I cry a little inside. Sure, spread such things even more, so that everyone around, devs, managers, business take it even more seriously and build more horrible, unsustainable, ov

What's 'more sense'? It seems like you're willing to rewrite and recreate existing and perfectly viable solution to a problem purely because the underlying OS is not Linux. In my world it doesn't make ANY sense - wh

As much as I welcome the CLI cleanup, I can't stop thinking that the 'docker ps -> docker container ls' change makes no sense to anyone who has any experience with bsd/unix/linux systems. Seriously, why?

Interesting, I've had many, many chairs in my career and this one, while being very affordable is at the same time one of the worst ones I've had. There is only one I'd say is worse, Herman Miller's Aeron, because it is

Sure, the foundation could hire RedHat to write systemd port for FreeBSD, but no matter how much they'd pay for it, no matter who would write the code, FreeBSD is a community driven open source software, and such code submission would

There is one very important thing here: FreeBSD != FreeBSD Foundation. FreeBSD Foundation accepts donations and pledges to support FreeBSD Project, but FreeBSD Project is an open source technical initiative that gets support from many sourc

I applaud making goals and reaching them, but when I see 'Learn ELM' (or, in fact, 'Learn X') that was marked as completed after 2 days it makes me wonder if it shouldn't be, in reality something like 'Play wit

The train of thoughts here is that less common == smaller exposure, therefore less likely to be a target. Also, your statement isn't entirely true, for example, OpenBSD, albeit not being a linux distribution, is a project orders of mag

They're great when they work, and horrible, when they don't. Power failure outside of warranty? Good luck buying a replacement, hunt for broken units to scrap their parts. Same for motherboard and pretty much anything else. Once y

It's actually hard to say. You might be very lucky, someone else might be very unlucky. Generally, RAID was 'invented' to operate on cheap, commodity hardware, where the failure rate might be high. When it comes to data, most

RAID 6 will be almost as slow and vulnerable as RAID 5. The best one in terms of speed and data security would be RAID 10 or RAID 100.
