You made me login to reply :) , thanks. Back in the early 2000s when I was finishing my Software Engineer BSc degree I saw the choice of becoming a "generalist" vs becoming a "specialist". I actually liked EVERYTHING t

Western societies are blinded by the narrative their governments have fed them in the last 50 years: China Bad. But us in 3rd world countries have the ability to see both Western and Eastern societies' development and compare it ij a

I want the opposite: id like a way to run the windows kernel, drivers and most low level OS stuff by windows, but with a Linux user Interface: Cinammon, apt and all the debian stuff. I run Mint as my main OS, but hardware compatibility is s

People, read the article. The conclusion is not as "terrible" as what you may infer from the title (we all think the worst I guess). Basically, it says Levi's jeans are manufactured in several different countries, so that m

This makes me think... how is it that in 2025, a 63 year old super rich guy can die of a heart attack. By now, we should have some sort of portable appliance a medication that would save us from sudden heart attack.

Ok, happy to be deported. The problem in the US right now is the for profit concentration camps where they retain the "arrested" people without a clue of when they'll be able to leave. Read the article of the Canadian lady;

Not sure if you read the whole article. But what REALLY scared me is not this women's experience, but the stories of the other people she met there: >I met a woman who had been on a road trip with her husband. She said they had 10-y

My wife has worked in manufacturing for 20 years. It's very interesting to hear all the "technologies" that they have developed: six sigma, Kanban, lean manufacturing and all that. A lot of of that really feels like REAL en

The great thing about spreadsheets is that most grown ups understand them. I've used it as the best UI for Accountants, Lawyers and other people that are famous for being afraid of technology. It's a great "bridge between

At first I thought it was some kind of UPS that would automatically "inject" AC to the house when it detected that there was no current in the mains (hence the connection to mains). But it seems it is just a glorified UPS... is

Exactly!! The prices are a result of extensive market research. Apple prices this things at a price they know people will buy it. It's the beauty of having a product with no real competition in the market. (BTW, I use Linux as my hom

I remember installing FreeBSD in 1994. Ot was soooo cool to me as a 13 year old to startx and have a Unix like environment in my computer. I feel freebsd was superior to Linux,but as with other things, apps availability made the win

This is so important to me on this day and age. Most new technology and OS seem to have an agenda. They want to "push" me to do things: buy an iPhone, buy an office subscription , etc. Using Linux is a breath of fresh air in that

They do half of the work (which is a helluva lot)... the other half is done by the volunteers that digitize books. I was looking at my country's "shelve" and it's so sad to see so many missing titles. I almost wanted to
