In the west, Riichi Mahjong seems to be the most well-known form of Mahjong. After living in China, I started to notice that the most popular form of Mahjong here is called "Sichuan Bloody Rules". It is completely different from o

I don't get what the big deal is. Does Linux add support for newer Intel and AMD chips in old kernels? No. Does Apple add support for newer Intel and AMD chips in older versions of Mac OS? I'm sure no. So why does Microsoft have t

Depends on what kind of production you mean. In your own projects you should set the C++ standard yourself anyway so this is a non-issue. If you are a distribution maintainer, it probably means you have to patch some makefiles that assume t

This depends on the distribution. Fedora for example has GPU switching using PRIME working fairly well and automatically disabled the dGPU by default.

This is just a mirror and not the repo the devs actually work on, so I don't think it's very taxing on the resources.

What also hinders open Wi-Fi adoption in Germany is a law called "Störerhaftung", which basically states that the owner of the Wi-Fi is liable for all damages that users of his Wi-Fi do, for example filesharing, hacking, whatever.

Microcode is not written to the CPU, it gets loaded on every boot. This can happen during the BIOS POST, during the OS bootloader or even while the OS is booting. Therefore, yes its possible to run older microcode (at least on Linux), since

CPUs are complicated pieces of technology. During the manufacturing process, some parts have a better quality grade than others. The better quality parts allow some overclocking without producing errors and therefore they get put into the o

Well, a theoretical attack is worse than no theoretical attack. Especially if there are perfectly fine protocols available that are IND-CCA2 secure.

Xiaomi only sells them in their online shop and only in specific regions like China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and I believe India. There are no retailers of Xiaomi phones and everybody buys them online at their shop. There are some gr

I'm also a long time arch user, who switched to fedora half a year ago. All in all both distributions are great, but one area where fedora has an edge is selinux support and delta updates. One area where arch has an edge is better font

The problem with LSB is that no application used it, because not every distro supports it. I hope that xdg-app application containerization[1] will change that and make it finally possible to write an application that targets all distributi

.kdb and .kdbx are two totally different formats. .kdb is used by KeePass and KeePassX, .kdbx is used by KeePass 2 and KeePassX 2.0 (currently Beta).

Yes, you are right, but just to make this point clear: The whitelisting that occurs in EasyList doesn't allow ads to pass through and is in no way related to the "acceptable ads" feature in ABP. The whitelisting in EasyList i

uBlock didn't start to universally block sourceforge, they just added sourceforge to their "uBlock filters - badware risks" list, which is justified imo. If you don't want this behaviour, just disable the list.

What is the reason this is sold as a SaaS instead of a traditional program? A traditional program would have many advantages for the user: * No limit on documents per month * works offline * Reports (which may contain company secrets) are n

It’s not possible in the way you think, because the two programs don’t know about each other. All the pipe character does is put the stdout into the stdin of the other program. So this feature must actually be present in the shell and maybe

You are comparing apples and oranges. Network management in Arch was replaced by netctl. It’s very easy to set up your static network that way (you just have to edit 1 line). systemctl actually tells you what it does as output. It symlinks

sysvinit does not handle cron jobs. A cron daemon does. Nothing stops you from using for example cronie with systemd.
