A lot of FSF members I know are active contributors and are fairly reasonable, that said it definetly seems like the milage can vary wildly across the community. I have seen the ty…

That is a pretty smart idea actually.

Airpods... end of list.

They sure did. However Servo now lives on at Linux foundation.

Water does work, it is also astoundingly heavy. That is the major issue. Elegant but impractical. It simply blows out any useful payload volume and costings because of the amount o…

It is all very well to quote Roosevelt and yes he is correct. But there is a difference between putting in the hard work and trying achieve something great, SpaceX have done that a…

It can cause more damage than good by making people doubt the entire mission as a whole. Funding will dry up pretty quick if folks think it is just another dead end. And $30 per Kg…

It isnt so much a case of schadenfreude but more a case of seeing what issues still need to be addressed. Personally I would love nothing more that to see the doubters get shown up…

The issues of space radiation is far from discredited. It is one.of the major issues that still doesn't have an elegant solution. One.idea that SpaceX is proposing is to try and ge…

With all the positive talk on here, I shall present a contrary point of view on this. This is the YouTube channel Common sense skeptic, that seems to be doing a good job if trying …

Thats interesting. I am running on a GTX 1650, so not what you would consider a real powerful card but it will run at just above 100fps at 1080p with everything maxed out. But that…

It seems very much intentional and it happens on the desktop as well. It isnt entirely consistent when it happens but it can take as little as a few minutes until it triggers the n…

Considering the original developer walked away from it in June 2019, I can see it being an issue. https://github.com/michael-lazar/rtv/issues/696 The forks from it however keep it …

Im in my mid 30s, I liked OK Boomer as a meme to let lose some emotion steam but then folks started to take it a little too seriously. To dismiss ideas outright on age alone is jus…

While I do not approve of the cannonball run in anyway due to the horrendous disregard for others safety, I am a little impressed at the speed they achieve and the optimization the…

I did the samething back in 2014. Instead of 5 years it only took about 6 months. Your mileage will vary.

The ACCC is one of those beautiful things, a government department that works precisely as intended without drama or controversy.

Same here with the boycott, caved and got some NC headphone and they live up to the hype. Said company have always been masters of audio.

One of my desktops is a C2Q and I swear I could get another decade out of it yet.

True but the die size has also grown. So it not a 1:1 comparison. An impressive feat for sure but it is just using brute force to increase performance nowadays.

He is always an interesting read but is usually all to eager to jump off the deep end. I recall him in 2012 saying that the aviation industry would be history by 2018... that clear…

That's good to see, it has been about a year or so since I last checked in any detail. That plus from what I have heard even conservative numbers put Snow hydro 2 as being a big wi…

Mine is a little later than yours, a 2009 T400 (2x2.4ghz Core 2, 4GB RAM) - having a light weight distro (Trisquel) plus an SSD has meant that this thing still feels incredibly sna…

The Tesla battery only powers about 30k homes for about and hour and a half. Dont get me wrong, it is an amazing piece of tech for stabalising the grid and reducing the dependence …
