I have used Pop OS for years and for me it was the most smooth desktop environment I've ever used. They have been working on a custom Desktop Environment which sadly still isn't very stable yet. Promising development, but putting

For my work device I've disabled Liquid glass completely. The accessibility options to reduce transparency and increase contrast improve the readability of the system a lot. Booting a 15 year old Mac a while ago had me surprised how cl

Ease of use, and a bit of customer protection. Living in the Netherlands iDeal is perfect for online shopping, but once the money is gone there is no way to get it back. With Visa/Mastercard there is a level of protection available whi

I agree, the Liquid Glass isn’t working out for Mac OS. Few days ago I booted a very old device running High Sierra and the UI and old Dock look so clean. That desktop was peak for me, and the age starts showing a bit in Finder, but it&#x27

Nice additions, but haven't really missed them a lot. Most of the time if I want the first or last element I don't care about the array itself so array_shift and array_pop work just fine.

Depends on what you're using it for. Windows 11 is the only main stream competition, but for work I've used Pop OS for a few years and was amazed by how stable and usable it is for work. Back to Mac OS now due to a change of workp

Saying that military action is not off the table to take Greenland is literally insane. Greenland has always been an ally, if for safety reasons the US needs more military presence on the island they could have just asked for it and it woul

I've had a new Toyota Corolla over the weekend, and the beeps were driving me nuts. The car reads signs, and beeps everytime it detects a change in speed limit. If you go over the speed limit, even if its 1 km/h the car starts bee

DE razors have a level of aggressiveness. A Muhle R41 for example is a fantastic razor, but known to be hugely aggressive. A R89 is much less agressieve and will be more comfortable to shave with if you have sensitive skin or are prone to n

The Spring Drive movement is amazing, very accurate, very high quality and that smooth sweeping seconds hand is mesmerizing. Availability is good, and the price is a lot better than the high-end Swiss brands. Rolex these days is a joke, eve

Cheating is when teams are running illegal cars for example, strong rumors existed around the Schumacher championships with Benetton that they were illegally using Traction Control to boost performance. More recently Ferrari finding a way t

Mercedes dominating isn't because Newey lost his touch. The Red Bull cars have been in the top three for all those seasons. The thing is, especially early on in the V6T Hybrid era the Mercedes engine was miles ahead of everyone else. T

Correct, switch it off and the plane can fly fine. Thing is though the pilots of the second MAX crash took all the right steps. Just too slow. There was like 10 seconds to turn off mcas, after that a crash was inevitable.

They are doing a great job. 180 turnaround from the company that wanted their products to look clean above usable. Only downside to me is that in such relatively expensive hardware they should have doubled all storage options. Starting at

Reading this, I'm happy it was different for me. After smoking for years I became a weekend smoker; in weekends I'd go out and after some beers the urge to smoke because so much stronger. It took me a few years to give up smoking

Chopping and cutting is a skill you need to get the hang of. I'm nowhere near a pro level of doing this, but I've become quite fast at it. It sounds a bit dorky, but it really helps to look up on YouTube how a pro cuts an onion fo

I tend to agree with you. The current V6 Turbo engines with advanced Energy Recovery Systems were introduced with two major ideas in mind; 1. It would make Formula 1 engines relevant for road cars. 2. It would attract new manufacturers to t

Part of the agreement is that Ferrari engineers are helping the FIA to police the other engines. The engineers on the payroll at the FIA don't have the time/resources/knowledge to judge the legality of these insanely complex

The FIA has made a rule now that any new/innovative finding on a car gets banned the next season. So if a team develops something, they can run it for one year after which it's banned from the sport. All of this is to cut cost for

Siri indeed never learns. I've had to disable "Hey Siri" because my daughters name is pronounced vaguely similar to Siri. Worst thing is, Siri transcribes what it hears, and it transcribes my daughters name. So it doesn'

I believe every car manufacturer has a disclaimer that the autopilot can only be used as an assist. That the driver needs to keep his eyes on the road, and ready to intervene at any given time. Were not at the self-driving level of kicking

I have the same problem with Bose. I love the headphones but I always need to put on music. Just using them to reduce noise and focus isn't possible because it makes me nauseous.

There is a much bigger risk than sink rates. The houses have been built on wooden piles, and with the recent drought in the Netherlands the ground water level fell. If the top of the wooden piles were exposed to air, they start rotting. A f

I fully agree, there is a steady decline in usability and its a bloody shame because for years the usability is what set Apple apart from the others. A few things which hugely annoy me; - Saving a photo from iMessage.... the option has disa

Shortfalls are about the same, but I do wonder if the problem is as big as well. I'm not sure about the US, but in the Netherlands the pensions are a hot topic in politics. The pension funds have to maintain a minimum amount of money,

For the Veyron I know they developed special tires with Michelin to be able to handle the extreme high speeds. Such development might help "normal" tires improve in durability. I can imagine this is something that happens in a lot
