As someone who lives on linux and has to touch OSX for things like building for iOS devices, I find it really odd that OSX doesnt just solve these problems like all the FOSS distros do. It's insanely odd that Apple gives me a bash shel

Todays equivalent would be those Funko PopVinyl figures. I'm amazed at how many people thìnk they are worth something when theres hundreds of rudimentary looking figures for every cult favorite movie, videogame, and cartoon.

Gnome 3 has all those shortcuts, albeit Workspaces are now in a single column, so you only have up and down navigating workspaces.

Not surprised to see a modem/router from Australia's biggest Telco on the list. Australia's internet is in such a confusing state. At the moment a house could potentially get internet via one of ADSL1/2/2+, VDSL2+,

Yeah, I would have thought that curated meant there was reasoning and insight into selections. This isn't very curated at all.

Did you try a later kernel? out of the box ubuntu 16.04 is on the longterm 4.4 kernel. It looks like some ryzen features and patches have been added to 4.10, and they probably were not back-ported to the longterm kernels.

I'm hoping that they do bring it back, because Nintendo did see the potential and have dev tools for the WiiU to target html based content - https://developer.nintendo.com/tools

Well in this case DRM means Direct Rendering Manager ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Rendering_Manager ) What I find even more interesting is AMD takes over half of that.

If you use the Minimal CD for installing ubuntu ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD ) you can pick a metapackage along the way that may be more to your liking. I dont know what exactly you don

Here are a few things that I experience on android. -When snapchat is foregrounded my phone wont go to sleep. -Sometimes the camera will just go black, hang, and crash the entire app. I don't know why, im guessing it could be filters.

My 2 cents: - 14.10 isn't LTS, and is EOL now, i think you might mean 14.04? - If you're going to disable unity for a dock, you might want to try elementaryOS, ubuntu Gnome with the dash-to-dock extension, or xfce. in 16.04 now yo

It seems like a dream come true when you're in the business of people buying new iterations of the same thing, Which seems to be all SoCs and embedded systems providers these days.

I Have a NUC at home, but its power as a computer seems to be wasted on being the smart part of a TV to me. So I use a nexus player for its interface and the NUC runs its DLNA and lives its life as a full-fledged desktop PC.

The last time i tested old browsers it was impossible to view anything. The main problem is the Host field isn't sent by a lot of browsers from that time, and sites won't respond. Character encoding issues, nexpected tags, big ima

it looks like there is a umx decoder (libmodplug) in ffmpeg actually, and i have the games on steam. Maybe i'll convert them to mp3 myself for a trip down memory lane. speaking of changing formats, Unreal Tournament 2004 was the first

The whole Unreal series and the engine it spawned were, and still are something i love to just look at. I remember going through the file system as a kid and looking at all the nicely arranged but weird files in Unreal Tournament. I liked t

This is my approach with things too. Instead of saying know I explain the complexities of what would happen by saying yes: - Other projects will be pushed out of the way - Your deadline is not feasible, I can do it by this date. - The cost&

Doing this guide verbatim is a terrible idea to anyone who doesn't understand what they are doing, Especially obtaining from a source like the pirate bay. You can obtain an ISO straight from Microsoft - https://www.microsoft

I always have GPS disabled, unless its more to do with where i live, GPS features of snapchat aren't worth using. The infuriating thing i notice though is that since the android update was released where you no longer hold to view a pi

My father worked for a very long time on traffic signal systems, and a lot of their old technology was a simple EEPROM chip which they wrote a program for the signals, burned to a chip that costed a pittance, and that was it. I remember him

Evey now and again I see a picture or article being shared around saying Facebook are spying on you and how their apps have all these permissions to use your camera and phone audio. If they are on android, I tell them to open their system s

Really? It seems as though that is how most online communities try to follow this logic. I fully get that 'clear' and 'understandable' are very subjective, though.

My idea of moderation is: 1. Outline rules for a community, make them clear and understandable 2. Enforce those, and only those, rules. 3. If something objectionable happens, and the rules don't cover them but you think they should, th

no new ubuntu release would be complete without graphics issues from Nvidia and AMD. I say AMD too because FGLRX is out of 16.04. After all the Issues i had with intel/amd/nvidia stiwching gpus in the ivy bridge days i just gave u

Which model do you have? My new 9350 seemed to hang a few times and become unresponsive when I tried beta 2, I'm hoping that release isn't going to do that.

All my experiences running mint have amounted to a broken and out of date distribution which has poor hardware support. I hope it has become better wince those days (i believe it was the initial release of MATE) but I see no reason to use m

For some reason this makes me sad, I guess it's similar to a motor enthusiast being angry at someone who thinks a car is "just a car". In my opinion, computers deserve to be more than consumer content endpoints.

I somewhat agree with you about its specs, However when it came out of the box it was a smooth and snappy tablet.
