The reason is popularity. SteamOS is Arch-based and in the hands of a ton of people who aren't necessarily that technical. CachyOS and EndeavourOS have become very popular with the…

This is a mostly American perspective that I find endlessly amusing. I only have a handful of clothing items that say that tumble drying is fine on the tag, and most of my clothing…

Beltalowda!

I'm sorry but your first claim has no basis in reality. Any benchmark shows the lowest end Panther Lake chip performing at least 15% faster than M1 and 10% faster than M2 in single…

You're right, I skimmed over the latter part of your comment. I don't know about your claim that M1/M2 will outperform Wildcat Lake in performance and battery life though, do we kn…

I think they were talking about the upcoming XPS 13 that's based on the new Intel Wildcat Lake platform and will be priced very close to the MB Neo, so it's pretty comparable. It w…

What are you on about? Your premise is pure bunk. The metal doesn't glow in normal usage. Speaking from experience: if that happens, it's a terribly painful experience and nobody w…

My thoughts exactly. People regularly run Pi-Hole on these things, which not only is "serving a website" (the dashboard) but is also being a DNS server.

I don't know whether to consider the fact that you find a device lasting 6 years an impressive feat as testament to how crappy devices, especially mobile ones, have been for the pa…

I disabled the lighting on my Keychron Q1 Max due to the battery drain. With it on (on the lowest glow possible), it would barely last a week. With it off? I go literal months with…

Or full time. In some countries, those are pretty decent salaries. I earn €50k in one of the poorer European countries and that puts me in the top ~8%.

Is it really? Instagram, arguably the most popular (or maybe just behind TikTok, I'm not sure) social network currently, has successfully disengaged from the tainted Facebook name …

I'd say that an OSRS outage would be more likely to measurably affect the Venezuelan economy than the reverse.

You would never guess this while driving around in my small European country. The amount of Teslas is baffling and I still see very new ones every day.

I'm not autistic and social interactions are incredibly energy draining for me. Granted I'm quite an introverted person, but not having autism doesn't mean you get pumped up from b…

But everything is stored as .md, which is ubiquitous. You'll still have access to your notes and be able to edit them with your preferred text editor.

I understand what they mean. There's this great video [1] which explains it in better terms than I ever could. I've timestamped the link because it's quite long, but if you've got …

I'm a pretty young developer and git is the only VCS I'm familiar with, and even though it has its quirks I find it quite powerful and a perfectly adequate tool for the job. In wha…

Depending on the region, "reasonably insulated home" really is the factor that makes this not so viable for a lot of people. In my Mediterranean-adjacent climate country, most home…

Calling JetBrains IDEs "VS Code clones" is the most batshit insane thing I've read regarding editors and IDEs as a whole.

Big fan of Andrew McCarthy's work, been following him on IG for a few years now. The stuff he's able to pull off as a backyard astrophotographer is very impressive.

> It's volume. I eat too much. Bingo. I've had this conversation with my girlfriend. She's not overweight by any means (160 cm ~55 kg) but I am quite underweight (182 cm, 65 kg, I'…

> Intel's networking is mediocre to bad depending on the product That's an interesting statement, as their Wi-Fi cards are some of the best on the market and common laptop-purchasi…

Beyond the cost aspect that other commenters have referred to, they're evolving tech. They're the first ones to have a working full-flow staged combustion cycle rocket engine (the …

I have a deep albeit unfounded suspicion that no developer currently at Microsoft actually knows how the old Windows interfaces like Control Panel are built, which would explain wh…
