For more context on how big a deal this is, the A220 is quite widely seen as the future of short-haul aviation. Airlines are moving towards a point-to-point model instead of hub & spoke (especially in Europe), using smaller planes with

My favourite thing about the Emailer is it was often stylised E-m@iler, which is the most incredibly 2000s branding.

Restless Leg Syndrome is absolute hell. Combined with insomnia it's nearly killed me a few times. I think a lot of people (including many doctors I've dealt with) underestimate it due to it's rather benign sounding name.

TL;DR Intel's top SKU beats AMD's top SKU by a small margin in some tests, the opposite in others. But it uses a huge amount of extra power to be competitive. 'In our testing, power consumption topped out at a absurd 335 Wa

Yeah there are no major microarchitectural changes that we're aware of for these chips. Bigger L2$, support for AVX-512 (kinda ... double pumping 256bit units), possibly wider front-end but not a huge amount more; it's primarily t

My greatest frustration with UK supermarkets is the illusion of choice. You'll find metres of shelving with the same product in different branding / price points. Went looking for Thai Jasmine rice, but the rice section is just 40
