Probably not much for people on a self hosting community, but those that want to get away from subscriptions and steal your data as a service cloud providers that might need some reassurance that they’ll have a working system.

Nixos is an os that’s defined by its config stored in .nix files. Everything is defined here all the software and configurations. Two people with the same script will have the exact same os.

Any changes you make that aren’t in the scripts won’t be present when you reboot.

You could maintain a very custom linux distribution (kinda) by just maintaining these config scripts.

So a user wouldn’t need to install all required software and dependencies. They could get a nixos and the self-host config and adjust some settings and have a working system straight after install.

Most common maybe. I feel most windows users aren’t actively choosing to use windows. It’s just what they are left with.

People usually choose to use Linux or Mac. As Linux is rarely preinstalled or like Mac more expensive (when it comes preinstalled) than the windows devices for sale. I’m not convinced given a fair shake, windows would have the market share it does.

Servers have highly informed people making decisions about their operating systems. When weighing the options about uptime, security, etc they rarely choose windows. Cost isn’t really a factor relative to the price and operation of the server.

It’s like camping in the garden, in the hopes you’ll reduce your commute.

It’s in the source code of chromium

If you use chrome or any chromium based browser, googles still executing any code they won’t on your device at will.

Even if you don’t have chrome, but an app uses a chromium based web view.

The non web app is probably just a web app and browser wrapped in one.

Google doesn’t want you to find answers. They could improve this. They want repeated searches and more time spent on each Google page to increase eyes on their ads.

Apples M series chips consistently outclass all comparable processors. It isn’t surprising apples mobile chip out performers Intel’s desktop processors.

Yes, I understood that. There are specific OS for Kodi like libreElec, that make it easy to have support for lots of codecs etc. I don’t know if any for specific to Jellyfin, but the Jellyfin App has a better UX than Kodi.

Kodi is a great Linux client. But that’s not what OP wants, the jellyfin app is a nicer UX experience.

Timber merchants in the UK. The ones that don’t list prices are cheaper. Largely because they base their prices on the current price of wood. Those that advertised prices need a higher margin to tolerate fluctuations in the price of wood.

It’s a nice aesthetic choice in macos. They got rid of the icons, I always thought the order was clear. It’s like a car clutch closes the engine from the wheels, brake slows the car (minimise) and accelerator maximises.

You can change them to grey circles.

Before all phones were phablets, a tablet was a good middle ground between phone and laptop. Especially for casual browsing and media not having a keyboard in the way and the better battery life was a real benefit to sofa computing.

Now we are seeing phones encroach on 7 inches, what would have been a small tablet a decade ago their use case has dwindled. Now they are a laptop alternatives or child minders.

The iPhone was a big departure from smartphones. They used a better touch screen technology, one that was more responsive without a stylus. They also made innovations in how a touch screen would be interacted with. They then packaged it up into a sellable product. They were the ones that figured out the UX of device. The concept existed before, but it wasn’t a product that could sell because the UX of touch screens was so bad.

All the other smartphone manufacturers followed apples change. Android was completely reconfigured when it launched.

As far as consumer Innovations its one of the biggest. It ended feature phones and all other types of smartphones. They connected it to the iPod jumping the product category from business user/professional only to everyone. It wasn’t that it was fashionable, it was that it was useable that lead to their success.

It won’t generate random numbers. It’ll generate random numbers from its training data.

If it’s asked to generate passwords I wouldn’t be surprised if it generated lists of leaked passwords available online.

These models are created from masses of data scraped from the internet. Most of which is unreviewed and unverified. They really don’t want to review and verify it because it’s expensive and much of their data is illegal.

HK make (or at least adapted) the most recent versions of the L85. It is now more HK than anything else.

There is lots of web based guis. These are accessed on a separate device on the same network (or internet). These use very little resources, all the rendering is done on the client web browser.

This is a common misconception. Phillips was not supposed to solve over torquing. It was designed to allow higher torques, stop slipping and self centre. It was only really good at self centering.

A screw designed to stop it being over toqured is a terrible idea. The screw should be smaller to prevent if higher torque is needed. If over torque is an issue then reducing the power to the driver is a much better solutio (easily done in industrial setting Phillips was designed for). You can also reduce the size of the screwdriver supplied.
