Reviews are typically in conjunction with junior colleagues and the senior person is involved in the discussion and held responsible for the outcome. The junior folks then end up i…

Can you extrapolate a bit? Why is GOG an undesirable platform to be on, especially as you seem to be fine with DRM-free releases elsewhere (which is awesome, btw) Finally, thank yo…

So, summarising the OP. Switzerland is awesome. News at 11.

> nice house in a nice suburb! There's your problem. Everyone wants to live in the same set of well established well resourced neighbourhoods. But there's too many of us. Go out in…

Can confirm! I've been reading Rands for 20 years now

How do you sync over the air with calibre-web? My understanding is that you can only use sideloading, or a device that supports reading on the web?

I think this is less true than it used to be? I ran my MBP2013 into the ground after 10+ years, but my circa 2018 imac retina is stuck on pre-Catalina, installing which requires op…

Weighing up a Neo vs Framework 12 for my kids. The Neo is nicer, but I'll probably get the Framework even though it's more expensive. Apple products seem to have a fixed shelf life…

Similar experience here, started with the same G4 ("white") iBook. That was an amazing machine. Under the hood it was hard to distinguish many differences with Linux/BSD of the tim…

I skimmed the paper a couple of times, hoping to find the promised (from the abstract) > pathway to integrating AI into our most challenging and intellectually rigorous fields to t…

Great comment -- thank you!

I tried NixOS a few months ago, when I had to choose a new OS for my laptop. On the one hand, it's great, as so many others here and TFA have attested. Declaratively specifying you…

Cool app. One small complaint is the chatty tone of the recommender engine. In particular, I find it a bit disingenous to have an LLM tell me "Ah, I love !". EDIT: I also notice th…

I thought the same about Gimp, until I sat down and tried to learn it's workflows. Once you adjust, it's pretty great. imo, ymmv, obviously.

Why do you need to config wireguard on each device? Connect your phone to your vpn and share the wifi. Works on my android. Struggling to see the value proposition for this device.…

Looks cool! I wonder if they reworked/fixed the terrible font. I find it borderline illegible in the original! (example https://cdn.neowin.com/news/images/uploaded/31070-ultima-vii…

To the nostalgics among us: what made OS/2 special? 32bit support? I recall trying OS/2 2.0 or 2.1 back in the day, coming from a DOS/Win3.11 setup. It seemed to have the same basi…

I tried installing ReVanced recently. The configuration of the system (install a downloader/updater which then installs the app) was a huge turn-off. Why is it so complicated? More…

Strong disagree. I often want to grab the contents of a page, tab headers and all, and paste that into a text editor for subsequent manipulation. Please don't design your pages in …

Not entirely true. There's a local admin option, where your Ubiquiti devices never see the internet (well, except your gateway). You can then connect and admin the whole thing remo…
