    Capital One’s personal lending is also notorious for targeting the mid-to-low end of credit card customers. They routinely deny people for credit cards if it looks like the applica…

    I’m in fairly good shape from biking pretty much every day and my average _cycling_ speed on my hybrid bike is below that, my goodness. If I’m on a completely flat trail, carrying …

    Marcan certainly can be abrasive (I mean lol, so can Linus), but all the things he points out in the message below are 100% valid - I highly recommend for anyone here to try to con…

    `apt` (the program) is a relatively recent addition to the APT (Advanced Package Tool) ecosystem - until not that long ago, `apt-get` was the way to install packages, and `apt` is …

    You’ve been able to do that with Thunderbolt 4 for a while (with Display Stream Compression) - I currently drive an 8k ultrawide (7680x2160, or two 4K side-by-side) at 120 Hz off a…
