How is it the browser extension doesn't have a local cache? It seems like basic functionality. I'm having to copy passwords by hand from the mobile app, which does have a local cache. Anyway, it's a good reminder: self-host a

Reviews are typically in conjunction with junior colleagues and the senior person is involved in the discussion and held responsible for the outcome. The junior folks then end up in the proceedings as external reviewers. In my experience an

Can you extrapolate a bit? Why is GOG an undesirable platform to be on, especially as you seem to be fine with DRM-free releases elsewhere (which is awesome, btw) Finally, thank you for SpaceChem! Still great, even after all these years

How do you sync over the air with calibre-web? My understanding is that you can only use sideloading, or a device that supports reading on the web?

I think this is less true than it used to be? I ran my MBP2013 into the ground after 10+ years, but my circa 2018 imac retina is stuck on pre-Catalina, installing which requires opencore patcher anyway. Hardware is fine, but it's incre

Weighing up a Neo vs Framework 12 for my kids. The Neo is nicer, but I'll probably get the Framework even though it's more expensive. Apple products seem to have a fixed shelf life; a certain number of years of support and then th

Similar experience here, started with the same G4 ("white") iBook. That was an amazing machine. Under the hood it was hard to distinguish many differences with Linux/BSD of the time. The UI on top (OSX Tiger) was peerless --

I tried NixOS a few months ago, when I had to choose a new OS for my laptop. On the one hand, it's great, as so many others here and TFA have attested. Declaratively specifying your system configuration and using snapshots to keep trac

Cool app. One small complaint is the chatty tone of the recommender engine. In particular, I find it a bit disingenous to have an LLM tell me "Ah, I love <X>!". EDIT: I also notice the recommendations are totally different w

Why do you need to config wireguard on each device? Connect your phone to your vpn and share the wifi. Works on my android. Struggling to see the value proposition for this device.

Looks cool! I wonder if they reworked/fixed the terrible font. I find it borderline illegible in the original! (example https://cdn.neowin.com/news/images/uploaded/31070-ultima-vii... )

To the nostalgics among us: what made OS/2 special? 32bit support? I recall trying OS/2 2.0 or 2.1 back in the day, coming from a DOS/Win3.11 setup. It seemed to have the same basic features as DOS/Windows but wasn'

I tried installing ReVanced recently. The configuration of the system (install a downloader/updater which then installs the app) was a huge turn-off. Why is it so complicated? Moreover, why not NewPipe or LibreTube?

Not entirely true. There's a local admin option, where your Ubiquiti devices never see the internet (well, except your gateway). You can then connect and admin the whole thing remotely via your own VPN. It's quite nice, actually.
