I wonder if they should make a model focused on low power consumption, something more capable than the Rpi Zero W, but with four cores, and such. Not intended to be a barnburner, and designed to be able to run without heat sinks.

Would you consider the 3A+? I have one hooked up to the TV in my bedroom. It's mostly the same SOC as the 3B+, just with half the RAM (and no ethernet, one USB port). A quick Google tells me the 3A+ uses less power, it's nearly on par with the 2B. Runs Kodi/RetroPie like a champ. I run OSMC on mine instead of Raspbian Lite as OSMC comes with a Kodi add-on that lets you configure wifi/BT.

One thing I sure can say about Trump, despite the constant negative press covfefe

If he's the Chinese Doctor Who, can't he just regenerate?

Troll or no, I parsed the headline as Doctor Who as well. Maybe the editors can... Oh who am I kidding, maybe whoever submitted the article could have stressed that it should have been "Doctor w ho".

News for nerds indeed, I had to read the headline several times to parse it out correctly.

What would "1.0" mean in the case of Wine?

IIRC Wine 1.0 was released when a user could pop in an Office disk (Office 97, perhaps?) and reasonably expect it to work "out of the box". No fiddling with winecfg/dll's etc.

It's pretty clear that behind the scenes, DuckDuckGo is querying Bing's search engine and returning their results

Correct, in a sense. From the first paragraph on Wikipedia

[...]generating those results from over 400 individual sources, including crowdsourced sites such as Wikipedia, and other search engines like Bing, Yahoo!, and Yandex.

So it's not just Bing, but Bing is indeed one source.

NSFW- You've been warned

Review for a buttplug : "It got stuck". Naturally, it was one star. Probably would have qualified for zero stars but Amazon doesn't allow that...

I was looking at a link a friend sent! :P

Just wanted to say I'm a devout Mint 19.1 user. Was a devout 17.x user, as well. I'd dabbled in the Linux world for many years, but it wasn't until Mint 15 or 16 (been a while now) that I finally made the move and dumped Windows. I never looked back. Even Ubuntu in it's heyday saw me dual booting...

I really love the work these people do. I just hope they get as much satisfaction out of using their tools/programs as I do... If Mint died tomorrow I'm not sure I'd ever find another ~ . Sure you can graft Cinnamon on top of another Unix-like, but there's something about the whole software stack that has made it so I can't even consider another OS as a daily driver.

For what little it's worth, I'll hoist one to the Mint devs when I get home tonight. Heck, I might even make a donation ;)

I want an option to put tabs on the side, along the left or right. We all have widescreen monitors, but very few pages actually need the full width of the monitor. We should have the option of putting tabs vertically along the side of the monitor to make more efficient use of space.

Yes! This a thousand times! One of the main reasons I am so entrenched in Pale Moon is because it's the only browser I know of that still has the feature*. It's essential to me, particularly when you can group them, expand/collapse groups, etc.


* Unless I'm mistaken Tree Style Tabs was an XUL (?) extension, and died when Mozilla *slight eye twitch* went to Chrome-style addons.

Golly gee! Seriously though, the day my Time Steel dies will be a dark day. I'm not currently planning on replacing it with anything on the market, and I'll miss it to death.

RIP Pebble. You were getting there.

Not that it makes it OK (at all), but raise your hand if you're surprised. No one? Yup, pretty much. Do No Evil went out the window a long time ago. Google is creepy.

No such thing as centrifugal force. It's an engineer's phantom. There's only inertia.

I don't know why but this quote always stuck with me...

What's supposed to happen in the comments here, mods? I'll start: Define good.

Is this a feature that was lost at some point? I have a crappy bluetooth speaker a friend bought me one time or another (it's called a Durapod if it matters). I'm 99% sure it's a rather old bluetooth standard (~3?), and it's always shown a battery meter in the notification tray (Android 4.4.4 & 6.0.1).

Now it's accuracy is a whole other matter, but again, it was like $30 at BestBuy so I'm pretty sure that parts normal. Come to think of it, I have some crappy near forgotten Mpow work out headphones that are BT and I think they do this too... But my expensive Plantronics (that have BT4 and NFC) don't...

He's with Dodger now

I checked all my HTML tags, re-read everything a few times... But did I double check the title I pasted in? Noooooooo. How I managed to copy the tags for the story at the same time is anyone's guess.
