Super interesting! I've had pretty much the exact same division of virtual desktops for many, many years. Small variation in what is on the desktops, but it's more like, 40 years old editor instead of VSCode and Jupyter notebooks

It's an interesting thought experiment! What would happen if electricity ceased suddenly. If there was no electricity where I am at, the apartment would soon start to cool down. It is right now something like -6°C outside. I think it w

From the article: Germany’s Federal Office for Information (BSI, in German) has already expressed concern that Windows 10 and 11 operating systems collect telemetry data, including typing data and even speech-to-text. In response, Ge

I never did a 'git pull', and at this point I'm too afraid to try :D But seriously, I always do a 'git fetch' and work from there (merge or as it is the case more often, rebase). There's something reassuring th

How about framing it differently? To say something like: "of the five recent weather catastrophes (off the top of my head: this Pakistan monsoon, Europe drought, California drought, heatwave in India, heatwave in Spain), we can confide

Regarding your desire for data, a research article referenced on the page: https://cp.copernicus.org/articles/15/1485/2019/ has a section on "Data availability," which seems to be relevant. Pos

You can make emergency calls without a SIM card. The phone identifies itself to the network (with IMEI), even if there is no SIM. The telcos, obviously, map IMEIs to SIMs. (Perhaps needless to say, but for basic operational purposes they ha

It may be a non-issue for some developer folks out on here. However, navigating the scary BIOS menus, in a foreign language, with technical jargon even I can't always understand (and I do assemble my desktops from parts). Even keeping

Countering your anecdote with mine. I have an Xperia 10 II (or something like that, the slimmest Android device I could find back in early 2021). The back cover is cracked all over, to the point I sometimes get cuts on my fingers. Two of th

Aren't these dynamics generally known as "fashion"? There's probably tons of (academic and industry) research on the topic from sociological and economical aspects. Well, if not so much with a focus on how fashions emerg

Them calling it merely "sub-millimeter" seems a bit like selling it short. The image in the article is about 1500 pixels wide (the stone part of it), and is 36mm according to Wikipedia. [1] I measured some fine details to be about

Maybe there's hope. I just got a regular 980 (not Pro) last week, which was showing around 660-680 MB/s write speed on both direct disk (and through file system). Just moments ago downloaded the new firmware and ran the installer,

The topic of slavery in the US is something that is not very familiar to me. One characteristic difference seems to be that the structure in Europe was largely that of serfdom. In that respect the massive forced movement that you mention is

I hope I'm not ignoring, but it is possible. I don't know how to capture the instability in either region by some sort of a metric to make them comparable. However, the examples you give seem almost insignificant in comparison t

I'm no historian, but your view appears almost ignorant of European history. There were a number of very disruptive wars in Europe during the last three centuries, not to mention emergence and disappearance of whole nations, whether de

Back in the day when I rented a server from their auction, the prices indeed did drop by 1€ every 24h or 72h or whatever. But not below a minimum they had set per computer type, perhaps that is still how it works. And yeah, it doesn't

Magit's log command made my Doom emacs unresponsive for hours, after which my patience gave up and I killed it and restarted. I guess it just doesn't work on larger repositories.

I guess only the hard drives, or do other devices in a computer system need magnets? Even if so, maybe other compounds will be found that exhibit the same magnetic properties, but without the radioactivity?

Why couldn't you do it the other way around? Run a tunnel for static IPv4 over IPv6.
