    If you don't like a law, change it, don't break it and get yourself in trouble. This is basically the difference between East Asian cultures and Western/American culture. We value …

    Why is everyone focusing on the fact that someone spoke via Skype? The fact is that 1. Jolovan Wham did organise a physical gathering of people 2. The gathering/assembly meets the …

    Windows works on the new MacBook not because it has special drivers for NVMe-via-T2 but because Apple trusts Microsoft's EFI key. So no, stop it with all this "Linux works if you j…

    The GPU is on the CPU die. Hardkernel can't offer a version without one unless different versions have different CPUs. And for that matter I don't think Intel offers any low-power …
