When are they going to learn that solar roads are never going to be practical?

I wouldn't really trust Intel CPUs after the degradation issues they were having. It will take a while to prove that it's been fixed.

They better not decide to enable it by default.

Do they not put barricades in the road when it's closed in India?

I think most people wouldn't recognize it as a real Linux distro just like android and chromeos.

If there was more than one hard wired provider in any given area, a lot more users would probably switch.

Nope, I use Thunderbird.

Of course that all falls apart if the display doesn't use a normal subpixel layout. OLED displays usually have an unsupported subpixel layout. Some of them even have a white subpixel that's not controllable by the computer, which makes subpixel anti-aliasing impossible.

I wish they would pay for it themselves. Microsoft is getting a $1.6 billion federal loan to restart Three Mile Island Unit 1, which was shut down because it was not profitable. They will probably find out that a half century old power plant is too expensive to run and shut it back down within a few years.

I would like RS-232 and RS-485 modules and a full size SD card reader would be nice too. It's probably something I would end up building myself if I get a Framework laptop.

Edit: It looks like they have an SD card module now, nice.

That's the way to do it. I just wish Framework had a better selection of modules available and had more module bays on their laptops.

Almost everything I have has a USB A or a DE-9 plug. I don't have a single peripheral that plugs into a USB C port. I don't want to deal with dongles and I'm certainly not going to replace my perfectly good hardware.

You could assume 1080p or higher for desktops, but 1366x768 and 1440x900 are still fairly common on laptops. Not everyone is running brand new hardware. Many people put Linux on their old laptops so they can continue using them. Higher resolutions screens with display scaling are also common on laptops.

The solder joints will be a lot stronger too. The solder will flow through the plated through hole and create a strong mechanical connection.

The pads shouldn't be lifting off the single sided boards though. Either the boards are crap quality or you're overheating the pads.

Don't use btrfs if you need RAID 5 or 6.

The RAID56 feature provides striping and parity over several devices, same as the traditional RAID5/6. There are some implementation and design deficiencies that make it unreliable for some corner cases and the feature should not be used in production, only for evaluation or testing. The power failure safety for metadata with RAID56 is not 100%.

It's definitely cheaply built. There is no RFI filtering and they used a resistor as a fuse. At least it appears to have a decent amount of separation between the high and low voltage sides though.

I don't think I've ever seen a public WiFi network with IPv6 enabled. I usually just use the hotspot on my phone to access my server since my cell carrier provides IPv6. I do have a VPN as a backup though.

I will never connect my TV to the internet. I will not buy one that requires an internet connection either.

I use rsync to transfer files between my VPS and computer. Don't torrent on Oracle Cloud without a VPN, they will terminate your account.

Seriously, only 2 USB ports on a high end ,17" laptop? That's nowhere near enough.
