    I would like to have a cheap laser engraver/cutter but I am just afraid to buy one. Most kits don't have any protection at all except for some goggles. This might be fine for yours…

    But arent there other applications where this is ok? For example path tracing (ray tracing) doesn't need to be very accurate because multiple samples per pixel are used. A gaming c…

    "then what does it care for" Wel most of the time it's an investment. So for those bidders the perceived market value is very important. But you can also imagine this scenario: som…

    Things are worth what the highest bidder is willing to pay. There are no other reasons involved. Taste doesn't matter, history doesn't matter, material doesn't matter, the creator …

    I am not saying people give a fuck it is legally accurate. But since nobody ever reads the terms and conditions this could help to give a quick understanding of what you are paying…

    That's a different problem. Right now the problem is that people think they buy something but they don't. Nobody is going to read the terms and conditions before buying. But when y…

    I think one simple legislation could help a lot: forbid to use the word 'buy' in this context. Instead it should be 'hire' or 'lease' or something. Once I 'bought' an e-book that w…

    The author was lucky to earn a huge amount of money. 99% of the people can't do anything with this advice because they don't have any savings to begin with. I wonder if the author …

    I run my own email. But I think it is a software problem. It would be nice of you could just install an email program that will set all the right settings for you. DNS, database, r…

    Every virus infection can turn into a long recovery. There is no proof this is longer for Covid-19. The Epstein-Barr virus for example can make you tired for months or years. I am …

    A Japanese study showed that Omicron is reproducing 70 times faster in the bronchi but 10 times slower in the lungs than Delta. That's why it is giving less lung problems and there…

    Not only for gaming. I have been using Blender for over 15 years on Linux and 3D hardware support is getting better each year. Maybe some people don't like proprietary drivers, but…
