Not a Linux machine, but 14 and 16 inch MBPs with something like the Vivid app do really well in sunlight in light mode. I enjoy working outside on mine.

I was looking for a 40-43in 4K TV for PC monitor use, considered the LG C series, but it wouldn't work in my bright room. I went with Samsung QN90C instead and I'm super happy with…

Nick Land kind of took this line of reasoning to its ultimate conclusion, I recommend giving his ideas a read even if they sound repulsive. "Nothing human makes it out of the near-…

I'm shopping around for a B48 powered car, and there have been instances of stretched chains at like 180000km. It's worse in B47, which carries over the same timing parts as N47 an…

BMW got much better since the switch to B series engines, N series era was horrible. Timing chains between the engine and gearbox are a pain point though, they need to be replaced …
