    Yup! Mostly legal. We maintain a legal guidance page[1] covering what you can and can't do with the data. I assume our lawyers have been involved, but what do I know? [1]: https://…

    I use X410 and run tools from inside of WSL2 by exporting the display. Works well for Emacs, JetBrains Rider, and every other GUI application I've tried so far.

    The "Remote - WSL" extension allows you to open a folder inside WSL but keep writing code inside VS Code running as a Windows process. It's available at https://github.com/Microsof…

    My install seems to have no ads at all (including on the Start Menu) and I am using Win 10 Pro that I installed straight from the Windows download page. Maybe I don't get ads becau…

    I run Ubuntu on a 5510 and I love it. I get between 5 and 7 hours of battery life with it. Using the NVidia card will kill the battery, so be careful and make sure you set up Bumbl…

    It's just the relational engine for now, no SSIS, SSAS, or SSRS. If you want to see more capabilities on Linux, I'd open a Connect item or search for an existing one and share it b…

    Are you referring to the i7-6700HQ that was released in 2015? The CPU that's present in the 15" Retina MacBook Pro? Or is there a different CPU that nobody else is privy to?

    I think we're in agreement writing applications in the database isn't a good idea. By "empirical proof", I mean that I have never seen anyone conclusively prove that switching data…

    I've yet to see empirical proof that stored procedures don't scale well. If you write an application in your SQL dialect of choice, that likely won't scale well, but putting data a…

    I don't know if they've fixed the issue, but the Box client used to spike CPU at 100% on OS X. This would occur when you have a folder hierarchy with a lot of small files in it. It…

    Depending on the SSD vendor, many drives expose performance counters to help you estimate wear level.
