Yeah, until a few years ago when they started doing things like - Automatically upgrading devices to Win10 - Announce that they will keep adding upgrades to win10 instead of creating new releases - Office 365 - Require win10 to develop for

Swap is activate pretty late in at 5:59 and you can clearly see there isn't much disk activity going on. A barebones debian installation should be using < 50Mb at boot, so a custom gentoo could be <40Mb

I've seen a drone scanning over a large corn field, dropping sensors seems silly when you can outfit infrared tempature sensors/humidity sensors/etc on a drone.

And 10 years later everyone will be using glasses to correct the "looking at an 8K postage-stamp sized display" syndrome. Not possible without some magic holographic technology.

I don't understand what the fuss is all about, last time I tried AdNauseum it barely detected and clicked very few Ads, maybe one or two on really ad-heavy popular websites, and many issues on github confirm that its detector is quite

Most supermarkets where I live have a battery bin near the entrance, and I've seen many times various packs or even sealed lead acids crammed in.

Looking at something like gsmartcontrol I can only spot the few icons being different than the shell32 ones, so it's still more consistent than most commercial software.

I purposefully ran btrfs on a malfunctioning drive for over a year (kernel 3.12, only metadata dup), much more reliable than ext4 which would lock up the entire filesystem on read/write failure and often go read-only, with btrfs the on
