In IT company where Mac and Linux dominates we are already accustomed to other software and don't see any benefit in changing everything to use One Drive.

Gudinon Guessing smart phone PINs by monitoring the accelerometer

It's also a hell of annoying. Since in 99% of the cases noone is looking over your shoulder it's OK to not give me a puzzle every time.

Also, with consistent numpad I'm able to enter all digits super-quick which is very hard to track. While with randomized numpad I need 5 seconds to find my numbers.

The conclusion is unexpected and stupid.

Android doesn't brag it has 75% share. Actual data is that 85% of smartphones run Android and that's market share. Fact that they are not updated to the latest version doesn't change the market share.

Gudinon Don't let Google take over Berlin

That's a nice Material Design on that page that's saying Google is Evil!

I am from Slavic country and writing code in native language looks amateurish (that's the general thinking).

Gudinon Matcha: Mobile apps in Go

It's similar to React Native - meaning it's very hard to write once on two platforms. You could get somewhere with writing two UI's for two platforms and keep shared business logic.

So, this is nowhere near Flutter.

Gudinon Bitcoin mining heats homes for free in Siberia [video]

Same as any other rig for anything. Higher load usually doesn't make much difference in lifetime.

For example, in CERN they bought 100,000 disk drives for their huge amount of data. Lets say disk lifetime is 1M hours which is 114 years, so sounds pretty good. But that means, on average, every 10 hours one of their drives will fail.

Gudinon Tempted to Abandon React Native for Native Android

What does that have to do with performance? You shouldn't serialize hi-rez bitmap and pack it in Intent.

Activities/Intents should at least force you to be careful and not to keep all data around in your memory, but only pass data you really need.
