Can anyone suggest a good torrent tracker suitable to run a torrent site? Opentracker [0] seems to be abandoned and the author doesn't reply.

There's always SE. Sturdy, proven design, headphone jack and sane (one-handable, pocketable) size. As much as I'd want to like Android, there's nothing of this size left there. I hope Apple will continue this line into the future.

I was going to say that I could hire a human designer on Upwork to design a logo like that for the same kind of money, but I guess I can't argue with your revenue numbers. Congratulations!

Your laptop is very likely able to take 8GB (4+4). AFAIK every ThinkPad that takes 4GB takes 8GB, judging by what I read on the forums. X61/X200 do.

How do I read the full story? I tried signing in with Facebook, but it redirects to http://www.wsj.com/europe.

That's counting the GPU processing power, which is not so easy to use. No way the CPU FLOPS have become 30x cheaper since 2011 (its increase really slowed down since then).

What are the potential applications for an autoencoder, aside from an exercise in neural networks?

Lossy compression with super high compression rates?

Is $50 per month considered little for the USA?

I like that they showed a pill box application. That's the one I could use in my smartphone.

It doesn't have to be just a passive box; it could have a companion app and door open sensor. I'm using a separate device for that: http://www.amazon.com/Reizen-Vibrating-Five-Alarm-Pill/dp/B0...

> many of the initially removable components are no longer removable

'many' is CPU+GPU+RAM, which was going to be a single module, but now is part of the frame, right?

I mean they rather strictly hold on to the release schedule [1]: ready or not, you can count on .04 version to come by the end of April, rather than in May. I'd prefer that they didn't release with such glaring bugs as I mentioned, even if a bit late.

Well, according to my experience, and this thread[1], it doesn't.

Also, the bug is confirmed and high priority[2]

In 16.04 they broke importing a saved VPN configuration. Again. Previous time they broke it with a previous LTS release, 14.04 (sic!) [1]

Another failure of such magnitude that affected me - breaking the switching between keyboard layouts with Ctrl+Shift (to introduce a new dialog in place of the one that worked for years) was in 13.10 - not the LTS release, at least.

I wonder if they will fix the VPN by 16.04.1, due in July.

Sometimes I wish they were not so strict about time-based releases, if only to allow for the bugs like this one to be fixed.

Which FPGAs in which workloads do they crush?

> to wait for a couple months while people iron out initial bugs

There's going to be a 16.04.1 release just 3 months away from the initial LTS release; I believe it is just for that.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseSchedule - this schedule is for 14.04, but I believe it's been the same for quite a few years already.

I wonder how far are we from being able to produce a completely open-source laptop with an open source CPU core? Quite far, it seems, judging by the facts that this is still in development, and protected mode is still being figured out. 5 years, maybe?

Any recent details from Intel? I'm still unsure how x86+FPGA will be working.

Is this a first when consumer product company releases CAD geometry for their parts?

Suppose I would like to produce a modified replacement plastic part for my phone; how much would that cost? For starters, a different color interchangeable panel for a phone with interchangeable panel, such as Lumia 435 or Xperia U http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_u-4437.php but, eventually, an extended size battery and a cover for it.

How about other countries?

That seems to be the fate of most every consumer goods, isn't it?

What is Target Actor and what is Reenactment Result? The former looks better to me.

> Lenovo will send a service technician to me who will usually be able to repair the laptop immediately

What is this guarantee called and where is it available?

Here in Russia, I've had experience of giving away my ThinkPad to the service company for 2 months; they didn't call and the call center girl could not provide further information than "it's being worked on" (the law here requires service centers to complete repairs of such equipment in 3 months,). When I finally had enough and went to the service center for the explainations, or to retrieve my laptop back, and asked them what took them so long, they said they have "emailed IBM but they didn't answer back" (it was a while back and my ThinkPad was X60s, from IBM). It even was working, I just had some issues I wanted them to work through (e.g. the cooling system became noisier and hotter, apparently having been clogged with dust; etc.)

You have missed a significant digit. For a moment there, I thought I have missed something and netbooks are back again (with screens as small as 5", this time).

It's also now on Steam (for Mac and Windows): http://store.steampowered.com/app/381780/

Can't they just do it? (mark it up)

How long until this treatment is available to buy (for whatever reasonable price for new treatments such as this is)?

Maybe you mean "how few"?

AFAIK, the only companies able to produce modern chips are Intel, TSMC, Samsung and GlobalFoundries; and Intel only makes chips for very select third parties, such as Altera, which they did ultimately buy.

Isn't StackOverflow open source?

I wonder how does this business scale. $15 a month is not much for paying salary.
