No idea to be honest, but my desktop feels way more snappier than before, plus power usage has gone down - it runs cooler and the battery lasts longer.
...i honestly couldn't care less. This is just another nail in the coffin; good riddance.
Opera died when, for some unfathomable reason, they decided to rewrite their browser as a Chromium skin. The original Opera browser was a fantastic product.
Nowadays i use Chromium myself while i eagerly wait for the first stable release of Vivaldi.
Try Asus's RT-AC56U. I think it its a very good looking design (specially if it will be sitting on your living room), has great specs at a great price, and it is fully supported by DD-WRT.
...and only because i was running into troubles with active IP limits on a very busy home network - it is very memory limited by todays standards, and lacks gigabit ethernet. If it weren't for that i'd probably wouldn't even carel; flashed that device with DD-WRT back in its day and never, ever had a single issue with it.
I'm now replacing it with a RT-AC56U which is also very well supported by DD-WRT.
No. This is a list compiled by a private party. A better question would be to ask why US government agencies are acting on intel compiled by a private Canadian company.
Then the design using them is shit. A PCB track should NOT handle the load applied to the connector, of any kind; that's a job for the enclosure. Even cellphones are designed so stress on the input jack is translated to the case.
It still much much better than having a Lightning connector or USB-C getting smashed in your pockets. The only drawback of the 3.5mm jack its its length, which translates to torque, but it is offset by its mechanical simplicity, large electrical connectors, availability and ease of maintenance. 3.5mm are easy to fix and replace.
I sure do. Do you redesign your power connectors ever 10 years?
There's nothing warranting a redesign of the venerable 3.5mm audio jack. It is compact, mechanically sturdy and perfectly suited to connect two audio drivers and a microphone, which is about as much as you'll ever need when it comes to headsets. It can even support buttons without additional contacts.
Venezuela was in well the shitter back when oil was $100 the barrel. Leave it to Chavez to sink a country into poverty while producing the most wanted commodity in the planet.
Venezuela is such a mess that i can't see any hope for it other than hitting rock bottom either. Visited the country a couple times in the late 90s, it is incredible to see how it basically destroyed itself.
South american here, who was lucky enough to travel/work on many many countries. Been to Bolivia three times. Never noticed chicken being "treated as a luxury" - their most popular national dish is based on chicken, for God's sake (and it is awesome).
From what i've read about the Gates foundation i'd argue the same. Think what you want about Microsoft, the guy seems really committed to make the world a better place. I just believe his efforts in Bolivia are misinformed, to say the least.

My main computer is an Intel Skylake laptop and 4.7 does seem to run much better on it than its predecessor. Wuv me some Arch.

Specially if it ends up costing a fraction of the "real deal".
Euronews just played footage of the Turkish military firing at a crowd trying to clear a bridge in Istanbul. Damn.
Just moments ago. Seems it was promptly rejected.
You have a weird definition for "interesting".
Interesting read, i'll give it a look. Thank you.
I tend to think of C as portable assembler. It is not hard to get an idea of the compiled result of a program just by looking at its source code.

Many, quite probably.

God, i remember that. Morales, Kirchner, Correa and Chavez bring shame to the region.

No. The point is: if you're offering aid it should at least be appropriate. Bolivia has many many problems, but raising chickens is not one of them.
Again: Bolivia is far from a promised land, but things there are MUCH better than most other places in the world. Their death by malnutrition rates are well below most of Africa, for example: http://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/cause-of-death/malnutrition/by-country/.
My point is, in a country which already produces 300,000 chickens per day, offering 100,000 to fight hunger is a bit insulting.
Read a bit about Evo Morales. That will make it easier to understand.
That said, offering a measly 100,000 chickens to fight hunger in Bolivia is naive at best. The country already produces over 300,000 per day.
Well, i'm sure that the donation of 100,000 chickens will ease that issue...
Crazy people.
