Plain and simple, they don't want you to take their devices apart. They use hardware and techniques that are extremely anti-consumer. From non-standard form factors, to non-serviceable components, to literally fighting against Right-To

It's not that they are incapable. They are unwilling. Nobody should be surprised that one of the most successful proprietary technology companies on the planet sells highly proprietary technology. The 2011 Macbook Air had a 1.8" P

So to defeat this it appears that browsers simply need to always request a favicon in private browsing mode? It will be interesting to see how Google will reconcile the contention between Google Search's reliance on tracking and Google

I think the argument that private business is going to be the death of free speech is a strawman argument of the right. Typically this demographic goes out of its way to ensure a healthy free market with little obstructions. However they se

He obviously does. However the question stands. What is the motive? Personally I think he sees social media as an extension of his own investment strategy. Invest, recommend to followers, divest. Rinse, repeat.

I remember when I got my first PC that was all mine. It was a Compaq Presario 5510 with an AMD K6-2 350Mhz. Back then there were 3D games you couldn't play without 3D acceleration, like Soldier of Fortune. I remember my first 3D card w

This has been a feature ever since 69 I believe. I also believe that 71 introduced a setting to disable. That's when I switched most of my devices to Firefox.

That's for the people who already own the card. If you're in the market for a new card and you have the option of a powerful, purpose-built card that works out of the box or one that needs endless tweaking, few people would choose

These ships reminds me of the old action-strategy PC game named Battlezone from 1998. It was set in an alternate universe during the Cold War where the US and Soviet Union were secretly engaged in an interplanetary war throughout the entire

I did it! It was pure luck because all I had to do was add a 1 to the end of my existing password and it did the trick. The MD5 one was the last level though.

I don't see what's so groundbreaking here. It looks like a lot of back patting. You've basically described a classical von Neumann architecture. The only reason hard drives were added to that is because volatile memory is exp

I completely disagree that cracks are showing and I think you used two very weak examples in CentOS and Elastic. These were and always have been losing bets. Elastic has always bemoaned being open source, so everyone should have seen that c

I never understood the elastic drama. Elastic has a surplus of technical knowledge but an infrastructure debt. Amazon has a surplus of infrastructure and doesn't want to duplicate years of effort. The logical thing would have been for

I don't disagree with your last paragraph. I don't like the Google business model either. But it works, and in capitalism that's all that matters. And they've climbed to the top so why should it be easy to unseat them? G
