This looks interesting. My current phone is an Asus ROG Phone 3, which I think suffices (Snapdragon 865+ plus 12Gb RAM) but isn't rooted. Even on outdated Android 12 this phone cov…

Semiofftopic but somehow I took offense at the Vista comparison. Aero Glass was peak UI design to me, and I'd certainly prefer it to modern paradigms like flat controls, or to stre…

Never thought of the fake variant as gasoline-like but it sure has that strange, very heavy 'chemical' aftertaste that lingers in your palate. Also never tried the real thing, I wo…

> Every time a manufacturer says vague descriptions like "security" or "performance" fixes, be wary - they probably removing perfectly working functionality for "reasons" I have a …

Not to defend Google, but they end up saying much the same: > The next challenge for the field is to demonstrate a first "useful, beyond-classical" computation on today's quantum c…

Up to that point, most Windows iterations didn't require (for the time) big upgrades to run fine. Many PCs designed for a given version could run the next, maybe with a little elbo…

Oh wow. Count me in on the I didn't know I had that! camp. When younger I struggled horribly with ALL things math, and to this day still do. OTOH I've always had a knack for DIY in…

My course of action was to run Memmaker, and let it take care of (almost) everything. It usually worked fine. Sometimes I had to fine-tune config.sys/autoexec.bat to make a bit mor…

Out of curiosity, did you needed some particular feature in such an app? I've found that Google Lens is pretty darn good at identifying plants, insects, fungi and whatnot (assuming…

You cannot market nature, but you CAN market everything around it: Tourism, clothing/footwear, camping gear, even technology (cameras, GPS etc). All of them to give you the "upper …

Same here, and it's not region-targeted (I'm not from US/EU). This is borderline FUD.

I'm still looking for an open ECU focused only on old, carbureted cars. Projects like Speeduino, rusEFI, MegaSquirt, etc. are wonderful, but I have no use for them because they're …

(bit of a rant here, you've been warned) As someone who could've developed an IT/programming career, but didn't because I felt things were already bloating back in the '00s, I agre…

I wouldn't have a problem with that, if only they were in better taste... that graphic looks like something out of XKCD, and the scrolling userlist almost gave me a seizure. Looks …

I won't hold my breath. From the article: > In theory, we might be asked to give this device back. In practice, these devices are written off as soon as they’re sent to customers. …

What if randomness is desirable? What if volume of signals to process is so humongous, some (controlled) noise is actually beneficial? Analog computing sucks at processing digital …

> Ther is no reason a consumer oven should cook more than 5 meals a day. There is no reason a consumer toasteer should toast mpre than 10 times a day. Consumer ≠ business/commercia…

I'm someone from far away, reading this unfold with curiosity. My country's variety is NotCo, who in all fairness makes damn good patties without any of the downsides told here (th…
