There was Blip Festival in New York, 15 to 20 years ago. As I had family in the area, I went to most of them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blip_Festival After Blip Festival NY stopped, there were some other festivals…
I seem to remember reading somewhere that, even at his worst, Linus limited his toxicity to professional-programmer kernel contributors (i.e. people who were employed by linux distros or hardware companies to contribute…
It's interesting that (in one regard) Sony is getting a PR win with the "StudioCanal has done this" narrative. Another perspective: In accordance with the licensing system that Sony and their lobbyists helped establish,…
I own a Nintendo Switch, and I've noticed that in the Nintendo store, old games regularly go on sale for in the ballpark of 80% off. Does that happen in the PS store?
I think they're describing a scenario where the cash was stolen by a postal worker or for some other reason didn't make the full trip.

That would be "60 year olds who have been office workers most of their working life" 60-year-olds who worked blue-collar for a significant part of their life, this is not so obviously true for. Also probably not true…
Okay, I'll bite: How many time has that happened? I'm definitely not an avid follower of such things, but I've never heard of that happening. I'm not arguing that it doesn't happen, but I'd like to hear/read details.…
sorta piling on here, but it's also worth noting that this problem goes away (and the article is quite readable) in a browser with javascript turned off (and no adblocker).
Is that "reactionaries" in the "we object to certain technology decisions" sense, like the anti-systemd crowd, or in the "software compatible with our political views" like the xlibre project? A quick search (in which I…

When I was actively hacking my chromebook, there was tons of advice like this, and 90% of it didn't work on both arm and intel-based chromebooks, and the advice-givers never mentioned which category it worked on.…
His wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_MacIsaac) mentions (with citation) a particular kink he has self-reported.
Actually, this is based on my personal experience. I don't use a smartphone for internet. Many of the places where I've tried it, the "free wifi" doesn't work. Maybe the wifi is there, but the uplink is 2G speed, or it…
I think you may be a bit out of date. There was free WiFi in basically every town. Now it's frequently a vestigial, no-longer-maintained free WiFi that works like crap, because there's no maintenance, because "everyone…

Ah... okay, some quick research says the Apple IPO was in 1980, so he was (at least somewhat) rich in 1982.
The article says that Jobs owned a lamp like this in 1982. Questions that come to mind: Was Steve Jobs rich in 1982? In 1982, was the cost of a "real" Tiffany lamp within the reach of someone at Jobs's 1982…
This headline sounds like "this specific (one-of-a-kind?) item that Steve Jobs owned/wanted to own" when the article is really about "this lamp that is the same design as one Steve Jobs owned" So not the "someone paid…
