When support is hidden away in discord, web searches can't find it. Nobody can even look through it without having an account.

A lot of people use Github because it's easy to use and popular. Not everyone wants to self host, although it would be nice if the larger projects did. What I really hate is when open source projects use something like disord for support.

And of course those expensive chargers will become bricks when the company goes out of business or just decides to stop supporting them.

I wish laptops would start including SFP+ ports instead of a file transfer feature that only works on certain Intel CPUs.

They can reduce the price as much as they want, but I still won't pay for it until they get rid of the DRM.

It's not even an issue with java. Apps ran fine on the original Android devices with single core CPUs and half a gig of RAM or less. It's just that developers get lazier as more powerful hardware become available. Nobody cares about writing well optimized code anymore.

If Google and Apple required all apps to run smoothly on low end hardware from 5 years ago, we would be using our phones until the wear out rather than having to upgrade every couple of years if the batteries are replaceable.

We need some that are fully open source software and hardware. I'm tired of all of the proprietary crap.

You must live somewhere dry. I have to keep my filament in a box with silica gel.

I prefer OSM since I can use the maps offline. Google maps is useless out in the middle of nowhere without any cell service.

This is worse than a streaming service dropping a show. They are removing the ability to play digital files that people purchased.

You can install any Linux distro other than Ubuntu if you don't want ads in your operating system.

Batteries have separate C ratings for charge and discharge.

Most cloud providers have a way to set limits. Make sure you learn how to set appropriate limits to avoid unexpected bills.

They could be made fairly small. The Curta calculator was hand held. Unfortunately, they are very expensive now, but there is a simulator online if you want to play with one.

4K bluray can be up to 144 mbps, so that's reasonable.

There are two ways to reduce piracy. Either make it easier to access content legally or make it harder to pirate. The former is significantly more effective than the latter. Taking down pirate streaming sites is a game of whack-a-mole and peer to peer won't go anywhere.

4K is nice for a large computer monitor if you want to replace a multi monitor setup with a single monitor. It needs to be 40+ inches, unfortunately there are not many monitors like that available.

When the memory is shared with the GPU, bandwidth becomes much more important. A desktop will just use a dedicated GPU if it needs the performance.

If you have to use sites like these, be sure to use an ad blocker as well as containers to keep cookies completely separated between sites.

You have to enable compression in fstab.
