You speak from the perspective of someone who’s either always had enough RAM, or not enough work to do.

It may not be de jure open source, but if the code is posted publicly on the internet in a way that anyone can download and modify it, it sort of becomes de facto open source (or “source available” if you prefer).

I (from the US) visited my cousins in Italy, and as we were driving around, my cousin and his best friend were joking back and forth in Italian, and it ended with him just kissing his friend on the cheek out of nowhere. It was very cute and entirely non sexual lol. Got a kick out of it since i don’t really see that at all in the US.

Ugh annoying headline. “Buttonless” implies the buttons are disappearing, like the home button. The articles says they might be using “solid state buttons” which, I think, are a bit like the Macbook trackpads, there’s no real button but it still acts and responds just like a trackpad button.

The lock and volume buttons likely will still be there, just won’t physically move, and use haptic feedback instead.

Same here, been collecting since the iPod Mini days, 18,000+ songs and 100gb+ of data (almost all mp3 though)

Serve them up with Airsonic and i’ve got my own streaming music service i can use anywhere.

If you haven’t listened to Jim Dale’s audiobook version, it’s a great way to have a third way of revisiting that story!

It doesn’t. If a PC is so infected you can’t change simple settings like search engine, it’s time to reformat.

If it’s a Mac it’ll somehow be amazing in every regard yet still come with only 8gb of RAM and a 250gb drive.

Two monitors one computer? Bah! Why not two monitors two computers!

One main monitor connected to my Windows machine, and a second monitor next to it connected to my work Mac. Using Synergy, one mouse and keyboard plugged into Windows controls both machines.

Then, add a Framework laptop propped up on the left running Linux, also controlled with Synergy. Three monitors, three computers! Now when people ask what OS I run it’s an easy answer: all of them at the same time lol

Agreed. If you’re a device maker and you haven’t considered the possibility of your users plugging in their devices for long periods of time in your design, then i feel that’s on you to improve your product.

Does anyone else remember growing up being told “watch what you put on the internet! it’ll be there forever!” Now it seems more and more like things out on the internet won’t be there forever unless someone specifically wants it to. I seem to having a harder and harder time digging up parts of the internet i remember from my childhood, the old parts are slowly being erased by entropy and lack of desire to keep them there.

Napkins seem like a pretty normal thing to expect at any eating establishment.

Interesting, i feel somewhat the opposite. i do camera repairs on film cameras, and having the exploded diagrams and manufacturers service guide is great, but a video of someone doing a full disassembly and reassembly is generally much more helpful in that context and allows me to scrub through the video to the parts i need for my repair.
