I believe you might be right regarding the port itself being the issue here. I have a Minisforum UM775 (basically the previous gen of the 790 Pro mentioned in the OP) and despite h…

Finding working-as-advertised chargers appears to be hard if not downright impossible. The situation does appear to be a little better if you own a Tesla, but if you own most any o…

There's the GPD Win Max 2[1] which is 10.1" or the Pocket 3[2] at 8". I have the Pocket 3 and the keyboard, while serviceable, is not good enough for day-to-day use. I also briefly…

Not entirely true. Take the recent controversy around YouTuber Markiplier having users' accounts shut down (including both YouTube and Gmail) for spamming his YouTube livestream ch…

>I live in Mexico, I've never seen anyone in Mexico make minimum wage, ever. And I do know people from all walks of life. Sorry, but have you really met actual working class people…

I'm genuinely curious, do you have any idea how other OSs handle fonts? Does OSX have something similar to Linux's X11's font configuration? What about Windows?

What advantage does this solution have over having a custom font configuration on Linux with fallback support for a font with unique unicode glyph support? In my case, I have Googl…

Agreed with this comment. We have the technology where creating an organization should be fairly trivial. From Facebook to LinkedIn to MeetUp to Twitter, there are endless places w…

I rarely ever comment, but posts similar to this one have been popping out more and more as of late. I am a minority. I grew up in a different country, and most of my close friends…

Last year Valve did "mass" (relative to the size of the company and divisions) firings [0] after Jeri Ellsworth was fired. Right now it's just speculation, but I doubt Valve has ei…

And it's not just Carmack and Abrash - they also have Tom Forsynth [0] and Atman Binstock [1], two other amazing people who've been pioneers in graphics programming and VR (and AR)…

Yes and no. It's still too early to tell if Oculus VR will ditch or give less priority to the gaming aspects of the Rift. These are all knee-jerk reactions, and they are unwarrante…

While I would agree with you that they can be (mostly) ignored, the author says, "[t]hey lurk in IRC channels waiting to harass new programmers. These are the types of people who d…

>When and if the Mexican government decides that they have truly had enough, these misguided youths still have the option of throwing down their weapons. See, here's the thing: lik…

See, this is a rather simplistic and ignorant comment. I do not mean to insult you - actually, I wish it was as simple as you're saying, just kill them and end with it. However, th…

"I'm interested to see how they plan on proving the charges." The guy is a self-proclaimed anarchist. That's all the evidence, sadly, that the police needs in order to prosecute hi…

As a long-time and primarily Windows user and developer, even though knowing that they're false, I was interested in seeing these so-called "facts" Microsoft has been spreading aro…

For me, the title is all that matters when the article is strictly about programming. If it's some sort of Top X list, TechCrunch or CNet almost always have the best ones, but you'…

These are actually reasons why casual, non-developer users are switching to Macs, not developers or designers. The author describes how OSX is more open-source friendly, describing…
