Inertia, or lack of real reason to upgrade. Personally I'm still on a CPU from 2013(Intel Core i5-4570S). Havent really felt the need to upgrade. And pretty happy that I went with 16GB ram back then, since its still enough for me today

I used to go for boards with a physical TPM as well(the Qxxx) and had the same driver issues you mentioned. But I've been reading recently that it might not be needed, since some of the newer intel chipsets(like z390) now have builtin

I always carry an eastpak backpack when I bike to work. Those things are pretty much indestructible; on my second one since highschool. Then I usually shop on my way back from work. Obviously I probably have to shop more often than most peo

Actually sony compacts were some of the phones I was considering when I upgraded from iphone 4, to iphone SE. But the iphone se was just a tad smaller and I liked the look and feel of it. Had there been no iphone SE i would most likely be a

I had a yubikey. It died after a few months of simply lying on the shelf behind me. No idea why, but havent exactly been a fan after that.

My guess would be a dev that knew that something was wrong with the performance of their old system, but for whatever reason it wasnt something that anyone higher up prioritized. If thats the case, I can see why one might come up with an id

Hopefully that limitation can be relaxed over time. Having to stuff all my logic in one big script sounds a bit annoying. At minimum having access to a second worker script route would be welcome for testing/development purposes, so on

Are there any extra costs related to outbound requests one might make from a worker?

Will every request to a worker-enabled site, pass through the worker v8 engine and charged at the going rate, even requests for static ressources like favicons, or jpgs etc? Or is there some way to limit the worker engine request matching t

I'm running the same version of Chrome(with site isolation enabled), its reporting "Your browser is NOT VULNERABLE to Spectre" for me. Also in incognito mode with extensions disabled.

We have been using kapow robosuite for close to 10 years now. Its a commercial GUI based tool which have worked well for us, it saves us a lot of maintenance time compared to our previous hand-rolled code extraction pipeline. Only problem i

Agreed. Especially considering how easy it would have been to contact them privately and directly. A 2 second google search for kidspass uk shows a sitelink for their "Contact Us" page, listing both a phone number and email addres

For me its purely a noise issue. Less heat to dissipate means less fan noise(Only speaking about home use here. In an office setting the difference would be unnoticeable).

Good that it was fixed. But now bad actors will be looking very hard for other bugs in the unsandboxed javascript interpreter. Tempting to just disable windows defender completely.

Apache httpd "legacy"? Seems a bit exaggerated. As far as I can tell it works just fine, have plenty of very good tutorials(like those from digital ocean), performance wise no problems(at least for our usage). And seems simpler to

Only the bookmarks bar at the top of the browser. For most sites I use keyboard shortcuts + the autocomplete in chrome. Aka to visit hackernews: Ctrl+L and then "news.y" and hit enter.

I just hope its not part of some plan to sneak in windows 10-style spyware onto older windows versions, by bundling it up with important security updates one pretty much have to install. At least the windows 10 upgrade we could say no to.

Yes. Thats why I have invested some of my money equal weighted in all three of them plus Apple. My thinking goes along the lines that I dont know the future, but I'm pretty sure at least a few of those companies will be a big part of i

I would upgrade, if it wasnt for the extreme disregard for user privacy in windows 10. Basically you have to go through a mile long checklist just to get to what I would consider should be the default baseline(see https://fix10.i

My main issue with hetzner is the lack of any sort of firewall in front of the servers. Your chosen OS is essentially directly exposed to the internet.

All the Asus products I have had have worked OK, and decent driver support. I have on occassion bought Acer PCs for non-devs at the office, and have regretted it every time. Sure they are cheap, but they also break down very fast and/o

I would suggest checking out the reviews on amazon before buying, even if its only 5$ :) I dont have enough packt titles to evaluate their general quality, but at least I found their early solr books useful(it was also the only book on solr

I guess it depends who "we" are. The average person dont need a new computer, I agree. My mom is still using my old self-assembled desktop from 2008-ish and is perfectly happy with it. However for those of us that use our computer
