Every single failed project that I ever worked on. I've built a lot of useful software but there have been years where I've worked on projects that nobody ever used or will use. Half the time the cause is the dysfunctional organiz

It's not recent. Their software has always been second rate. So is their hardware - just look at their "Pro" lineup that came out in 2019 with a 2 year old GPU in it for $50k lol.

So what? The headline is dumb. Nothing wrong with pointing that out and saying why. The fact that you say you read the article and this attack was your best comment... well I’d say one of these comments is basically worthless and it’s not t

I'm so glad that the FreeRDP client on Linux works really well. It's one of the pieces of software that made transitioning away from Windows much more convenient as I continue to work with Windows systems and sometimes, tools. The

Well, I was there and during the first browser wars and I saw users and developers choosing IE because it was faster and had more features than Netscape. Thanks to Microsoft we got XMLHttpRequest (AJAX) and Web 2.0 (DHTML, iframes). IE was

Well if someone is in a panic and they are buying something because of that panic I am going to continue calling that panic buying. I’m sure that the definition or your understanding of that definition will catch up to my forward thinking a

Parts of their workforce work remotely. I know at least some of their call center staff does.

Great! So it actually fits this situation wherein a large quantity of spyware has just been purchased... the price increase being the amount they're paying for their workers productivity.

I’m pretty sure it can also mean that you’re buying something that you don’t need because you’re in a panic. Where did you get the official definition?

Program logs are not the place for ads. If everybody did it, your logs would be unusable. The fact that this author didn't care about that reeks of entitlement. Despite the fact that big tech makes money selling ads - none of those com

Actually, it worked out very well for Windows 10. It's the most popular desktop operating system on the market with a global market share of about 40%. Every top PC manufacturer has a line of touch models and they've been continui

This is a bad example if you consider that microwaves and toasters are to food as computers are to code. These kitchen appliances aren't marked as running code at all, but they do accept food as input and produce cooked food as output

I agree with this recommendation, but Ubuntu is a PITA for a desktop IMO. Manjaro is much more stable, easier to setup and maintain and the default UI (XFCE) is simpler and very similar to Windows. Ubuntu is good for a server. Using 2 diffe

I've got Manjaro XFCE on multiple workstations for almost 2 years now. Setting up a new Manjaro workstation is far less annoying than setting up Windows 10. I just did a comparison the other day because I needed to work on a SQL Server

What distribution and desktop environment are you running? I switched to Manjaro with XFCE almost 2 years ago and it's been a joy to setup and use coming from Mac/Windows. As a matter of fact - setting up a Manjaro workstation is

You don't get why people who have full control over their current Pro computers wouldn't want to move to a locked down, walled in garden of a "Pro" device? The vast, vast majority of the hundreds of millions of customers

All of my other SQL tools are running right on my machine. I hope there will at least a self-host version of this (or something just like it) available. It would be amazing to have something like this embedded in Azure Data Studio.

Is this the one that will disable extension manifest v2? That's the only update I'm watching out for because I'll have to switch to another browser at that point. I was going to start using Edge everywhere but now probably Br

I wonder what Apple would do if someone created a corporation to distribute apps with the enterprise license and every time they want to distribute the app, the corporation would make the potential user a member of the corporation first. I

This strategy would have been worse for Microsoft and furthermore it would have been ineffective at achieving your own desire. Old Edge was already getting the same treatment from web developers as Firefox. If they picked up Gecko they migh

This is an ongoing change in the extension manifest v3. You can keep track of it here - https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/migrating_to_manifes... This is not the default yet, even in Chrome. I hope Edge does not

You can’t have a successful mobile app business without being on the iPhone. So, I say Apple has just as effective control over the market as a straight monopoly. As a matter of fact in the US you do not strictly need greater than a 50% mar
