Choral molecules can react differently with left and right variants of other chiral molecules. This does not mean they do not react at all with the left version.

What a surprise, who could have guessed?

In theory, but in practice I found that its performances are closer to that of the backing HDD than the SSD. It is similar for the bcache kernel module to be fair. Using ZFS on HDD with L2ARC and LOG on SSD is comically slow. The only thing I found to give a real performance improvement is LVM cache, which is as fast as SSD as long as there is room on the SSD.

I'm pretty sure Bill Gates wrote more or less the same thing in his 1995 book "The Road Ahead". He was wrong then, I'm not confident they are right now.

âpâ¥âiâ¥You may be confusing your suburban or urban experience for everybody's experience.â/i⥠âpâ¥The majority of people leave in urban or suburban area. About 83% in the USA.

Chips from Taiwan are subjected to whatever tariff there is on chips from Taiwan. Chips made in Arizona have no tariff, but they may have to pay tariffs to buy materials and equipment. Which may turn out to be higher if the tariff is chosen by a rambling psychopath

A phone is designed to not produce an harmfully amount of sound, no matter what signal you send down the line.

A lifetime guarantee refers to the life of the product. I.e. a pair of waterproof shoes with lifetime guarantee, are guaranteed to be waterproof until they have a hole. In general guarantees only guarantee that the product is free from fabrication defects and will keep working as advertised during its lifetime.

You can have RDP in kde with KRDP and Gnome also has a built-in option. But the reality,is that doing remote desktop is cumbersome, and unless you do it over a local network the lag is rarely comfortable. Outside of niche applications like thin clients for classrooms, the Linux hacker would rather use ssh all the time.

In Paris, I'm paying 40â/month for a 5Gbps fibre connection, and 10â/month for a 5G mobile connection with a data cap of 250G/month (throttled afterwards) which also includes 35Gb of roaming data to be used almost everywhere in the world.

Many modern websites that use a lot of javascript are almost unusable on Firefox. I have a desktop PC with dual six-cores 3.3GHz Intel Xeon and 32GB of RAM, and Firefox struggle to render a text document in Nextcloud Office. In any chrome-based browser it works like a breeze. I'm keeping Firefox installed, in case I need some specific extension, but I'm using it less and less.

In this specific case, being a European directive, it is translated in 24 languages, and the English version has no particular priority over the others. I'm checking the text in English, French and Italian (which I speak fluently), the Enlish and French text are more ambiguous, while the Italian text is very clear that the "free of charge" applies to everything.

So what do the European judge do when presented with this case? They go and study the motivations underlying, they explain it all over several pages of the judgment motivations. And it is not just a comma, but the fact the "free of charge" was added especially as an "anti circumvention" measure to prevent the gatekeeper to sneak back fees that were deemed anti-competitive.

Of course, in order to know this, the journalist would have to read the several pages of the judgment, instead of just rephrasing the Apple press release.

But the ten-year-old does not lack logic because he lacks brainpower, but because he lacks experience and training. Let him read a couple of books, and he'll catch up. While the LLM has ingested the entire written production of humanity, and still lacks logic.

The main one is Microsoft Office. Also, most games that include anti-cheat or anti-copy kernel drivers (aka compulsory malware)

The criminal masterminds at Elsevier must have squeezed their minions for years to get an argument against SciHub, and this is all they came up with?

It is a fact that the private scientific publishing industry entertains hundred of spoof journals, with corrupted editors, that are all too eager to pass any kind of crap. And ignore reports of blatant forgery for year.

At least SciHub is free.
