    They usually perform well, but get put in a drawer and forgotten about because the software compatibility is generally atrocious. Peripherals advertised generally never work, but y…

    It's not ethereum, it's some other bespoke blockchain to issue NFTs on.

    The website linked, and it's associated information all absolutely scream red flags and is functionally similar to a hoard of other schemes. It's a technically simple product (dist…

    I'd still love for them to support some other form of auth, Google or Microsoft auth is an incredible drag as a gatekeeper to their product.

    GNOME isn't even a fraction of the problem, desktop linux is absolutely unsuitable for day to day use and that's nothing to do with the desktop environments. The foundational desig…

    Yeah, it's no replacement for a dedicated device, but it's with a whole lot of people all the time.

    Feels sort of nonsensical honestly. Credit card anti fraud is entirely reactionary, there’s no magic bullet, you’re just papering over the cracks of an absolutely broken payment sy…

    There's ways around medical inadmissibility, you can absolutely get around the cost threshold by proving your ability to cover the cost- so long as it isn't a personal guarantee. I…

    The leading drug used for treatment is CAD$28,500/year.

    The laws on what makes you inadmissible medically have changed fairly recently, specifically the dollar amounts that they consider excessive.

    You don’t see that because it just isn’t supported by what people make. No laptops are going to provide PD power outputs at relevant voltages because they would need to have a huge…

    It’s something akin to a layer violation to have a database server running openssl and encrypting its own communication. It isn’t it’s business at all.

    We got at least one which seems faulty, but to their credit they immediately got back to us and asked for more data for their engineering to look at. The numbers produced are obvio…

    Until the hardware totally gave out, I used a Sony Vaio P which is of similar size, but had a keyboard usable by a human being. I loved the thing as just a terminal on the go, if I…
