I guess some of those people you knew at school who just couldn’t help spouting any nonsense that would make them seem cool never grew out of it

That’s how they became relatively bright, by asking questions to learn about new things!

I actually love that design, it’s minimal without being corpo-slick. Is it just a mockup or is there some way to make all my computers look that way?

There was another one 9 months ago ;)

I’m keen to put PostmarketOS on them all and build a Kubernetes cluster. Just don’t ask me what I’m going to run on it!

My thoughts exactly. The very first line of an article says that it’s produced by a company that wants to sell you a new logo, so they’re just implying that it could turn your whole business around. I very much doubt that any of these companies released a new logo and made no other changes to their products or marketing.

I think most of the uk banks still support them, though they don’t send you one by default anymore (you have to request one, which is fair enough as most people don’t need them). Also they all seem interchangeable, I used an old one from a different back to authorise a large payment recently.

We invite you to join us at Next ‘26 to talk about new capabilities

This post is just the announcement for a conference talk

How would that provide anything that they can’t already do with a normal barcode? (Just watch the video, it’s a classic Chris Spargo mildly interesting)

Check out linux-surface for details of what works on your specific model (and if you’ll need to install the custom kernel). I have a surface pro 3, it struggles but basically everything works which is cool.

I have RDX installed purely so that when I’m searching for something and the answer is in a Reddit thread I can view it on my phone

Lumping proton and signal in with brave seems a bit mad, brave was caught hijacking affiliate links and their ceo actively donates to right-wing causes, proton’s ceo just… made a couple of tweets that didn’t criticise trump enough? And what’s signal’s fault, just not being decentralised? It’s nice to be an idealist but the average person isn’t going to be compiling and self-hosting their own foss solutions. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good and all that!

The fact that we even call them PCs is mainly down to the IBM PC (they didn’t invent the term but I think they popularised it)

I’m not sure if this is a joke, but patents are very much (supposed to be) required to be innovative, as in if there’s any “prior art” (i.e. anything evidence of it already existing either in another patent or just publicly) then you can’t patent it

Or Nigerian princes!

I’m only aware of GameNative because the post above this talks about it, but apparently yes

Security is their whole purpose, and it’s explained in the very first point on their FAQ

These devices meet the stringent privacy and security standards and have substantial upstream and downstream hardening specific to the devices.

Railings are for pansies and elves, a stout dwarf has a low centre of gravity and is immune to falling!

What is?
