Oh I agree with that one entirely. One reason I buy apple shit is last year I got them to stuff a new battery in my old 6s which I bought in 2015 and they did it there and then in …

No thats not the main issue. Most of the issues come from crap batteries not being anywhere near fit for purpose. I’ve swapped out enough (tens of the things) to see that as the av…

My review was spot on. It’s subjectively not terrible but you wouldn’t use it as the basis of a composition. Perhaps a school bell. But it would get annoying as fuck very quickly. …

About 1% of tech employment changes the world. Most of it doesn’t. Some of it actively makes it worse. Most of it actively makes it worse. I live for the bits between doing the tec…

Nothing you can't fix with Mouser and a soldering iron :)

With a head injury.

Agree on all points. The key thing the EU are ruling on here are phones. I replace my phone or laptop battery every 3 years at average! Does it need to be removable for that? Hell …

Fairly experienced guitarist and pianist here. No that does not sound good. It sounds less than bad but not good.

Completely agree with this. A few years back I built a fairly simple little python/flask app to solve and integration problem. It's been sitting there handling 5000 or so requests …

I miss the BX chipset. The last PC that wasn't a complete piece of shit I had was a 440BX chipset P3.

Meh. If you're smart enough to read this web site you should find someone else to leverage some equity out of and a good salary and ride it to IPO then retire and do something else…

They're not a replacement but they will be generating so much credible indexable garbage that they will reduce the signal to noise ratio to the point that they are useless.

No. I un-upgraded the machine I upgraded after 2 weeks. It was unbearable. Just sold it on eBay before Christmas. Only own a MacBook Pro now.

I reckon at least two of these are going to come true and it will be less funny than your comment when it does.

Apologies for this alcohol fuelled rage comment but for fucks sake Microsoft just stop redesigning shit and finish the last 11 redesigns of windows, fix all the cruft hanging out e…

Yep. I don't use Linux on the desktop simply because I don't care enough to be assed with arguing with it. Thus I would rather swap my kidney for some Apple crap and put up with th…

You can but bugger that. Better to kill the ROI by not even looking at it.

You can sign garbage therefore it is a human issue.

Facebook does a few very simple things lots of times a second. It doesn’t scale to lots of different things regularly.

Adding more technology isn’t going to help this.

I’ve worked on extremely complex projects (many hundreds of endpoints, many TB of data). React definitely does not scale for those at all. It has a niche for a few use cases but it…

It’s a necessity. The end user experience for React isn’t necessarily the best. Where it exists, the web is probably the wrong solution for the problem.

Server side rendering with light weight JavaScript. The point you make about most cases not needing it is spot on.

- The slow death of SPAs and client side JavaScript (including WASM in that) will commence due to the dubious ROI. - War against humans and AI commences. The AI content farms will …

Some people are still crying when it costs $500 to do a backup restore. They will learn one day.
