Yes it is

That's not a solution, just the necessary work. You still have a stack of patches you continuously have to (have) rebase(d) on upstream.
Re:My Steam Machine Is a 50ft HDMI Cable on Friday June 26, 2026 @05:57AM (#48684615)
Does anyone have a proper (and not overly expensive) solution for also moving input devices somewhere else? My main device is not in the same room as my TV.
It is obviously possible, the process is probably very similar in effort and expenses to founding it in that form directly.
> Functional comparisons among devices within a category are always fair

When they have the same prerequisites, yes. But then you need to count in the time the iPhone needs to boot as well, which will probably mean you are at a similar range.

Too bad, lots of CMSs have that built-in, probably a checkbox away.
The VM snapshot/load is about memory, not storage.
Noone thinks concert ticket sales are an open market tho. They have one seller that sets the price, no competition between different sellers.

It only becomes a "market" after scalpers buy all contingent to resell.

> At least so long as my actions don't directly cause technical problems for the service operator.

That's the point of the criticism. The praise of their anti-anti-bot features reads like it is commonly used to cause technical problems to the service providers, be it intended or accepted for the cause.

Did you ask them for an RSS feed? Lots of people are pretty reasonable for such requests if you write a nice email.

No, this is the same prize increase. The post from 38 days ago was the announcement this one will come, now it is active.

Do you have an example of what eclipse can do that VScode can't?
Any examples for these cheaper brands with same performance?
1,3k years ago is such a weird way to write it. Makes sense if we are talking millions of years, but why not write "in 700" or just "1300 years ago"

Given the URL contains GCHQ, it isn't really hidden.
I thought I was the only one immediately sceptical when I heard domains, without content, bought for multiple thousand dollars just for ad revenue? How does that even work, surely there cannot be lots of legitimate traffic for a site that shut down 10 years ago?
Re:I am building a cloud on Thursday April 23, 2026 @02:27AM (#47872756)
As I understand, a cloud provider where instead of paying for each VM (with a set of resources), you pay for the resources, and can get as many VMs as you can fit on these resources.

What images are you running that you'd need the latest version up after just a minute?
But then you don't get the benefits of having the DB locally, with in-process access.
That feature exists by now, called "Enhanced Broadcasting".

In which way is the cashless society due to smartphones? Cards did that already before Apple/GooglePay were a thing.
Re:Practical Guide to Bare Metal C++ on Tuesday March 10, 2026 @08:55AM (#47322641)
This seems very well written, but has a lot of requirements/previous knowledge required by a reader. Are there similar resources that fill these gaps?
I doubt Google Workspace is going to be the major provider for European businesses

Does it really matter what "they know"? It seems like the entire post is written by an LLM.

Have you ever heard of Thunderbird? There's to my knowledge no other mail client besides maybe mutt that offers more features and flexibility. For office, LibreOffice doesn't feel very modern but is capable of a lot of things.

Ah yes, the logistical nightmare any hair salon or nail studio handles just fine.
