But that also lets me order more Doritos hands free!

Android handles this decently well it allows you to install whatever you want to the device but to unlock the device for custom firmware the device is first wiped so user data is perfectly safe.

Similar feelings. The video doesn't go easy on the tech either. He is shaking that paper violently and I can't see any faults. The part where he has 2 bits of paper as well as when he stretches his shirt are mindblowing.

Its easier to just date someone who likes having problems solved.

The last part seems on point. I imagine a lot of advice people give is pretty obvious and the person with the problem has already considered it but can't action it because of some other reason the advice giver didn't think of and the person giving advice is sick of having to explain why all of the suggestions given will not work.

I understand its a hugely popular service and there is a lot that goes in to something so big but there are bigger websites that run on much much smaller teams of developers. I just don't understand how there is even enough surface area on the app that 1000 people could be working on it at the same time. Is that number counting people working on the ops stuff or building other tooling not part of the main app?

Im interested how what looks to me like a fairly standard web store could have such an enormous amount if developers working on it. Is there some kind of insane complexity behind webstores I am not seeing here?

Likely only because it doesn't see enough attention to be migrated.

Users are to blame. There always has to be something new, even if its no better or even worse. It just has to change regularly or people think its stale and move on. We see this loads in phones where totally useless features like samsungs curved edge or foldable phones and the removal of loads of useful features.

I just tested ripcord and it didn't seem to work very well on Gnome. Didn't do dpi scaling so it looked tiny on my main monitor and the notifications showed up pretty broken.

I have been running a mailinabox email server for over a year now. You basically just run the install script, tell it your domain name and set the server as the name server for your domain name and its all done. The thing does everything for you including renewing certificates. It then sends you a monthly status email and an email whenever something needs your attention like the certbot renewal failing.

So far in the past year the only manual intervention after setting it up was updating it from ubuntu 14 to 18

I must have gotten lucky because mine just works. My exact setup is mailinabox installed on a vps at vultr. Have been sending to gmail addresses mostly fine. Had 1 email go to spam in 2018 but everything else has gone through correctly.

Since mailinabox configures everything for you maybe the issue is that when you set it up yourself you don't quite get it exactly right to what gmail and microsoft demand.

I considered that but I would also want to replace the outer shell of the keyboard since thats kinda crap as well and then all I am left with is a pcb and switches. I'd rather have a fully working keyboard I can give away or keep as a spare and get a new one which suits my needs since the cost will be pretty similar.

Exactly. Some of those colored unlabeled keyboards look stunning on the desk. Why should a keyboard be purely a utility and not part of the room design.

I own an unlabeled keyboard and I mildly regret it. I have no issues typing with it but I struggle with special keys like trying to find ^ or f5. Typing 2fa codes are a pain. If I was buying a new keyboard I would get a labeled one but with no numpad

How did you test the product during development? Did you have to take a shit on it after every iteration or did you have some kind of replica shit that could be used?

I hammer away at a cherry blue keyboard at work. No one has complained so far but I suspect it is because I have been here for longer than them.

Also fuels burned in a power plant are much more efficient than fuels burned in a car that is constantly slowing/speeding up/idling.

Is purple air the proprietary version?

Thanks for the info

>The UX of the "fglrx" drivers tended to be pretty awful, all told; typically worse than nvidia's proprietary drivers, so they were wildly unpopular among users.

This is my memory of the time. Both options being undesirable and proprietary but nvidia's at least working better.

People of Sydney are too busy stuck in traffic all day to write snarky comments on HN while people of Melbourne are free to shitpost away from the comfort of the trams.

>Do they open anything in the Windows space?

Freesync comes to mind and I think they had something related to physics/hair rendering.

There is no requirement to open source on linux. Nvidia does not. It just means you have to constantly update your driver for the latest kernel version and spend time keeping up to date with all of the latest developments like wayland.

Its available on the package managers of most linux distros.

I just looked in to this and it looks like what I am thinking of is the AMDGPU driver which wikipedia says released in 2015. I'm not sure what the driver you are talking about is or what the difference between the AMDGPU driver and yours is. I just remember in 2013 people saying nvidia was best for linux use and then with the AMDGPU driver people saying AMD now is.

When I was buying gpus around 2013 there was only a proprietary AMD driver on linux.

Less maintenance and testing when OSs like linux distros bundle the drivers in and keep them working on future versions of the OS. This is also huge for mobile hardware since OEMs won't have to put in any effort to keep patching the latest upstream android.

Of course they may not want any of this since it means they can sell a new phone every 2 years.

Firmware and drivers are different though. If the firmware was totally locked down then the drivers would be no use for a clone and if the firmware was taken but the drivers were proprietary the clone could just use the exact same driver binary.

AMD is a company that has largely gone from proprietary to open source and without looking at their financials I think it seems to have been going really well for them. AMD GPUs just work out of the box on linux without having to install anything so I and almost every linux gamer buys an AMD card now even if it isn't the best performance per $

The parent comment mentioned the boycotts in Australia. Maybe I should have added the context for those not in on Australian news but these boycotts are all about coal mining in Australia.

If they could be built compact enough they might be able to be strapped to your backpack so you never have to leave it behind. At least for the common case where you are taking the scooter to the bus stop and then from the bus at work you are able to store the scooter next to you at all times.

Would be nice if someone could just copy and paste the text here.
