   I've tried to go full Linux desktop. I hated it. On the servers I manage, I run terminal only and mostly BSD systems. Linux desktop just boils my piss. Plus I need Adobe apps, and a few other bits and pieces of software. I need my mach

   I own both a 15" Macbook Pro 2017 model with touch bar and a Dell XPS 15" 2017 model. Both have their pluses and minuses. Both needed major repairs. Dell needed logic board and screen replaced. Mac needed logic board and keyboard.

   I have a Macbook Pro with touch bar and a Dell XPS. Windows seems to have endless updates and little control over them. Drivers are a pain, bios updates seem to be really important. Blue screens. Unreliable Bluetooth. I've had dell sup

    This sounds like a naive response to a fundamentally flawed system. The EU ETS has been a failure from the beginning. Commoditising pollution just leads to more abstractions and opportunities for fraud, laundering and lack of accountability

    This is hardly an earth-shattering revelation. Global demand for anything can shift widely based on regulation. If China were to outlaw coal, guess what would happen to demand for coal.

    FreeBSD has dmidecode https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=dmidecode So you can do: dmidecode -t processor -t cache which produces the following output on my system: # dmidecode 2.11 SMBIOS 2.6 present. Handle 0x
