Modula 3 is a missed gem to me. Turbo Pascal was still a thing and C/C++ became popular and it was kind of missed that there was a new language that provided many things that were popular at the time: OOP, or quite new: garbage collect

The 6510 CPU was easy to programme in assembler and it was supported by a graphics chip VIC and a sound chip SID who both had some fun tricks up their sleeves (not like a graphics card, much much more simple). For their time and the price t

I think it's not as much a democracy as a market. We sometimes say people vote with their wallet on products, so I see where you come from. Still, in this case I think a market analogy fits better. There are people who want it and peo

Big country and many options and all that, but at least with regards to EU support I would say yes, the majority of Germans supports the EU. I would say some regions more than others. I think it is understood that the EU could be better and

What does he say? He does not like a few things. Germany is bureaucratic, look at that. Something with reflection that does not further gets explained. No solutions on offer, of course. Some stereotypes feel like they are true. Well, well,

I think for users who don't want to learn about their computer and just use it a (new or used) Mac is the best option if you want cover many use cases. Linux on Desktop is especially great for used Laptops. In that case the Linux commu

My optimistic interpretation is slightly different. So far the US is still a democracy with a President wo doesn’t take the law too seriously. On the other side every democracy looses a bit focus over time and laws to keep government clean

In fairness, it shouldn’t. I think it is acceptable that the foreign workers have valid US work visas and can demonstrate that. Maybe constitution plays sometimes fast and loose with work visas, but that does not automatically make it ok. I

I don't know which version of the iPhone SE you have, there have been several over time. Mine is from 2016 (had to look that up). No update to iOS 18, true. In your specific case you have to look very carefully in the Android world to

Not the original commentator. With Linux I think battery life is ok, but not more. I get about 8h out of it. My battery shows 92% capacity, so there might be a bit more in it.

I think it's great that a company tries to support ARM Linux and brings what looks to me like a Linux first ARM Laptop.

Completely agree with this. Ubuntu installs from the standard ARM installer on the X13s and openSuse Tumbleweed needs a litte help at the start but then runs great. It looks like the Snapdragon X gets quite a lot of support now and end of t

I loved this on the C64. This was my first game where I could explore a whole world (or a part off). Also it left me with still surprisingly good knowledge of the geography of the Karibik ;-). Everyone who played this knows where e.g. St. N
