"If you don't have riches, you don't get stitches"

I was asking myself the very same thing.

Is this comment meant to be ironic? The removal of physical buttons a main cluster for the driver and the lack of a HUD are all terrible UX decisions. People believe it is all part…

Can someone give me a quick rundown of Facebook's involvement? I get that they are the driving force behind it but what does it mean in practice? Do they have any power over the cu…

Jim Keller apparently not only worked on Ryzen but also on an arm CPU named K12 [1] until 2015. It is likely that AMD still has the blueprint for that CPU stashed away to focus on …

In which parallel universe is RDR2 not a universally acclaimed polished to the highest-standard gaming title?

Not sure how this is going to fly inside the EU. Simply relocate from Riga to Berlin and get 1400€? Or do you have to become a German citizen? Wouldn't that be against the spirit o…

Eh I don't mind it too much. Once everyone writes jambon iberico on it you will have a minefield of quality. In the end people who want to avoid this problem will get their stuff f…

I think the word you are looking for is oligopoly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligopoly

Fun fact: nVidia CEO Jensen Huang and AMD CEO Lisa Su are niece and uncle. They both are hardware engineers by trade and both wear leather jackets during presentations (although sh…

For those inside as well. The reason most car companies don't use cold rolled steel is not because they are cash grabs but because if there was no deformation in the car all energy…

According to [1] the entire VW group owns 61 plants worldwide. However this also includes motorcycle factories and plants which make various parts which are used by ICE and electri…

From the headline I was kind of excited. Like disney using some freak tech stack on their servers like freebsd or windows. But it is just DRM incompatibilities with linux. Kind of …

I really like the gesture controls in my bmw. They seemed odd first but now they feel quite natural. I guess the best intuition comes from the fact that one gesture is mapped to on…

Thinking more hard about it I can't really say that electron is pretty much an anti-pattern. The idea/strategy behind chrome is simple though sophisticated: 1. Move all the softwar…

This is kind of the reverse of what I would want. I want to use html/css/js to create my front-end, Although it is more resource intensive then Qt, it is simply more flexible and h…

Not to be cynical about Tesla or the EV market as a whole but I don't get why Norway has become so important as an indicator for the car market while it hasn't mattered for the las…

Scales to weigh fruit/veg? No at leas not in Germany. The scales are built into the barcode scanner of the register. They only have scales so you can double check when you are shop…

People leave there carts in the lots and workers collect them

I don't get it... After a you have committed a crime (and you were punished for) you are free to be done crime against without repercussions? Sometimes I wonder where the keyboard …

Even though I am sure I can already see the privacy activist banging there war drums and the "know-it-alls" tell us that mac addresses can be spoofed/are not unique, I don't see an…

Intel has been flashing the 10nm for 2+ years now. If anyone Intel should be worried if the can keep their schedule.

Is there any review which probes the binning of intel's new chips? Since the 7700k was 125mm² and the 9900k was 177mm² I suspect that there are more defects on average per chip. If…

Not too sure what is the point. Colleges already have a hard time to fill their engineering places with domestic students. When I studied last year at Stanford 50%-60% of the stude…
