Competing how, exactly?

SSDs are essentially just some chips (controller, flash memory, and often some DRAM cache) wired together, whereas mechanical drives have many moving parts operating within microscopic tolerances.

Do they even pretend to make hard drives? Not in their shop at least: https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/3.5-SerialATA . Perhaps they do produce their own SSD's, as do many companies, since that'

I have no experience, because TIL this even exists. Thank you so much—it could be a life changer for me! Will be watching this area closely.

ALIX is EOL. Nowadays you'll want to use their APU (excellent too).

Or the variable `Result` (most common nowadays), although you may also call `Exit()` with a parameter.

There's also Firebird Embedded if you care about types and a couple more features. It doesn't come with full-text search out of the box, but there are options: http://www.firebirdfaq.org/faq328/ .

Anyone is welcome to consider their system mission critical, and if so, they should act accordingly, i.e. choose control and safety over convenience. Portable apps such as this one have no place there. My point was: keeping support for Wi

While that could certainly be true, these examples are all environments where running anything but mission critical legacy software (heaven forbid unofficial apps off the internet) wouldn't be acceptable anyway.

Windows 7 is covered by paid Extended Support Updates (ESU) till Feb 2023 even.

Yes, I think it would make sense to provide a kit based on 3.8 instead, which does constitute a big enough improvement over 3.4 to drop some platforms, while remaining in support for years to come. For workstation use, I suppose XP is dead

by thijsvandien 5y ago
Note that 3.9 is the first release to not work on Windows 7 anymore, which is still rather widespread. At the same time, to the end user, it offers very little over 3.8.

I wish for BSD to stay around forever. Sure, on desktop it's a tricky option, but neither Linux meets my standards there. For server use, it's unmatched IMO. A polished product meant to be relied on; well-organized and pleasantly

What confuses and worries me is that Telegram (on iOS) seems to be doing the same. If I don't allow it access to my contacts, it won't let me add anyone manually either, even by username.

For me, the major strength of (Free)BSD is that it's so well organized at every level. The project, the documentation, the OS. A coherent whole with the right amount of conservatism. No change for the sake of change, while actual progr

Haven't touched Linux either since I tried FreeBSD many years ago. The whole BSD family is pure Zen in comparison.

Since I first tried a thumb controlled trackball, almost 20 years ago, it's been impossible for me to imagine ever going back to an ordinary mouse. Arm/wrist movement is just bizarrely inefficient and unergonomic in comparison. Th
