lg's had a good run of being a monitor, their software was a bit shit but the hardware supported e-arc etc. i've got 2 expensive lg tvs and i bought them because you don't need to …

Another one not mentioned is trying to book a trip for e.g. 3 people, but only one item of hold luggage. You just can't do it, you have to add it later in an amend-booking. Jet2's …

i've only ever owned a 'Surface Laptop 2' and for the time it was excellent, the keyboard and trackpad were both superior to my macbook pro of the time, the screen was great in bot…

the 'silent merging' you're talking about is the c in css

if you're writing class="flex-inline width-30 font-large" it's even worse than inline css because it has an abstraction layer and dependencies. just write css, tailwind has always …

I hired a peugeot something (MPV) to drive in the french alps and it was insanely dangerous. Driving mountainous switchbacks with very tight corners it was so strict about not want…

not sure if i'm retarded, but there's not a single mention of xbmc

I've also never seen an ad in windows 11. I did uninstall all of the weird apps like "News" "Weather" etc.

who's upvoting this, it doesn't say anything at all

i think i just misunderstood the writing, it does explicitly say 4bits for castling. the prose around is just describing what castling is - i thought it was implying that you could…

I don't understand the castling part of this - you can move a rook from its starting square and back and castling isn't available - it says that you can determine whether castling …

yeah i just heard, i'm changing my prediction to Microsoft 365 Copilot Xbox Edition

i think it's telling that Nullsoft created their own installer for WinAmp and its still 20 years later one of the most sane and popular ways of distributing apps.

rumour has it the next version of windows will be called Microsoft 365 Azure for Desktop XBOX Edition so that each of the executives in the money making sections gets their piece.

the installation story for devs writing windows apps has been dreadful for 3 decades. vs used to help you build setup.exe, which was always a huge chore to use. clickonce was launc…

If you're trying to pack hundreds of microservices into a cluster, having containers using 80MB of ram minimum instead of 500KB can become a big deal.

They're self contained and native, but they're still massive. There's been some work on CoreRT and a general thrust to remove all dependencies on any reflection (so that all metada…

i went through border control twice at an airport after going to the wrong gate and when i returned to the uk the e-gates immediately declined to process it (the camera etc. didn't…

i think his point was that the actual LINQ (language integrated query) is already superior to transposing it back to the functional fluent version. i largely agree, especially when…

tldr; the wifi's access restrictions still allowed DNS so they set up a vpn on the dns port

The reason starlink are so low in the first place is its cheaper to launch to that altitude, you need way less signal strength for devices to connect to them and the round-trip lat…

i'm not paying a lot of attention to this AI global economics war bs tbh, but the intel arc gpus seemed to be a sensible way of me getting back into pc gaming. good drivers, ok per…

thank you for your service, it was a very long comment but i read it all and found it insightful!

i used to make 'leaflet websites' in the 90s, then shopping carts. it was an era where everybody wanted an online presence to make themselves seem legitimiate. i expect this is the…
