Maybe in current era of skyrocketing prices of memory & storage components (due to mindboggling demand by AI-driven tech industry), I would agree that budget gaming laptops are not worth the value. But for decades, I have found that gam

>I think it's the opposite. People remember how Bill Gates got rich. That rags-to-riches myth about Bill Gates is not true. He was a Harvard dropout, but not some poor kid. Bill Gates was always rich. But with Micro$oft's succ

Hey, did you hear about the Volkswagen Monkeys? Volkswagen (the same megacorp that did the infamous Dieselgate/Emissionsgate scams) forced monkeys to inhale exhaust from its automobiles, to try to show that fumes from current models (

Social media forums are microcosms of humanity. You will find them to be quite reflective of humanity, with all its good and its bad.

Get any gaming laptop or corporate grade laptop. They'll look good, work well (from hardware perspective), and you can replace their built-in Windows OS with the Linux flavor/edition of your choice. By the way, if ultraportable is

Science has never been constrained by ethics. The same scientists who cry about ethics, have happily experimented on mice and guinea pigs in their labs, even if it causes the deaths or distress of those little sentient beings. Mutations&#x2

Reddit and Twitter are cesspools of noise and misinformation since years. Even whole subreddits are taken over by shady admins, and totally weaponised. e.g., r/India is filled with anti-India hate posts and malicious misinformation, be

The links and news I have shared can be easily verified. The truths are there for those who wish to see. I type fast though, LOL. Bad habit from my early days as a programmer and blog writer. ;-)

I didn't even know that HN has karma! I thought that was a Reddit thing. I have been using HN for some time, but I don't really know how it works. People seem to be downvoting my comments that reveal some hard truths, but I don&#x

LOL, now why was this comment downvoted, when it is the truth?!

The truths can be suppressed for a while, but they are bound to come out. Karma will have its way, and its say.

I am using Tiny10 for a debloated Win10 on my old PC last few years, and I faced no issues. Microsoft Office, Windows Updates, etc., all worked well. Of course, it is a sandboxed PC with VPN and good antimalware (Bit defender and MBAM) to p

It is true though. Except Chrome, other Chromium browsers have effective filters/blockers for ads and annoyances. I find Brave's GUI to be very intuitive and fast, and one can disable its crypto features and other nonsense. But in

The parent comment mentioned ads, hence my response and the link to the text-only site.

Say goodbye to most ads with Brave or Vivaldi, with adblockers enabled (EasyList, EasyPrivacy, ADB+, Fanboy's Annoyances List). I prefer viewing the text-only version of this HN site, it loads fast and clean with no ads: https:/&
