   My freshly-reinstalled Pixel 2 XL with a minimal app load has four goddamn gigabytes of RAM and can't even manage to run my podcast player in the background without killing it after 5-30 minutes to economize on resources, despite my ha

   Linux is terrible on the desktop and Windows can go die in a fire. Looks like Apple gets my money!

   I also know some people who have a poor mentality. That is, they consistently refuse to seek out better-paying opportunities despite abundant mental ability in the name of "happiness," complain that their series of low-paying role

   I'm using envelopes. Like the ones you get sent in the mail with invoices. I save them and take notes on them. Works great. A computer is not always the solution to every problem!

   Only as many hours as are necessary to get the work done. I'm done trying to use my own graft as a means of getting ahead, which is why I'm a manager.

   Absolutely fuck this site for playing a loud noise when you click the "joy" link. I don't associate jump scares with joy.

    Typical Apple, trying to force some technically-superior crap down our throats rather than attempting to play nice with the rest of the world. Nobody else uses HEIC. I daresay most people don't even know what it is. Why not play nice w

    I dropped Linux in favor of IRIX on the desktop, because I found GNOME clunky and KDE a Windows ripoff, and ran that until I could get a Mac. When I got the Mac, despite being new, it was so slow that I installed Linux and WindowMaker on it

    I put an Apple 4x PCIe AHCI SSD, a Radeon R9 280X, 2 additional SATA SSDs, and a USB 3 card into a 2006 Mac Pro with dual quadcores and 32GB RAM. In doing so, I converted it into a useful computer-cum-space-heater that handles almost any mo

    €150 is expensive? From what I remember of that thread a few weeks back, everybody on HN is pulling down $400k + 250k options.

    I had an original Onyx Boox and it was so terrible, inflexible, and softwarily out-of-date from the moment of shipping that I gave it away within about a month. It was also slower at even responding to page-flip commands on PDFs than my iPa

    Back in the days of the iPad 3, there were active adapters that intermediated, lying to both charger and device and permitting the iPad to charge at full current rather than 500mA, and completely blocking access to the data lines as a side

    Looks like TSA/Customs is about to get a lot more suspicious. All of these travellers, without exception, look shifty as hell.
