The live USB system contains extra packages that are not present on the installed system. You can compare the installed packages on the live system and installed system and check what's missing on the installed system. apt list --installed

Yeah. Anyone who watches this show will need weeks of therapy to get over the trauma of watching this garbage.

All the anti-vax nonsense makes me very angry at the people who propagate it. But somehow what Goop does doesn't make me angry. It pseudo-science no doubt and it needs to be discouraged, but I see what Goop does as more of comedy than a serious attempt to cause harm. Selling a $75 candle that is...

This may be an unpopular opinion but I just don't understand the hate against Gwyneth. She's conning people who are rich enough to afford a $75 candle and stupid enough to fall for marketing that borders on the ridiculous. She doesn't even try to hide it. I assume that most of her customers buy...

Android IS an open-platform. Google's services are not. Please don't confuse the two. Nobody is forcing you to use Google's services. Google as a company has the right to provide its services under terms and conditions that it sees fit. If you wish to use Google's services then follow the...

We do have a single standard. It's called HTML 5.0. Browser makers implement support for established standards and then add their own extensions on top of it. That's what drives innovation. Many of the unique extensions added by different browsers makers will get added to the next version of...

This is not a big deal in China. They have their own web stores with millions of apps. Problem will be for everyone outside China who wants to buy these phones. Luckily Play Store can be side-loaded after purchasing the device. It won't come pre-loaded which will hurt sales.

It's a chromium world now. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. Chromium is an open-source project that anybody can contribute to. It's not proprietary. Having a single engine (with contributions from everybody) ensures that websites run well irrespective of which browser you use. In olden...

Everything seems impossible till someone invents it and shows that it is possible. And then we say.. yeah that is so obvious... why didn't someone invent that sooner? Wireless communication, atomic bombs, airplanes... everything was considered impossible once upon a time.

Rockets work by throwing matter out of the back. That burning gas is what provides thrust to the rocket. It's crude and grossly inefficient, but it's the only technology we have for propulsion in space. I'm still waiting for humanity to come up with some revolutionary, star-wars type...

I was expecting this movie to be a disaster when it was first announced, but that trailer actually looks good. I'm looking forward to this.

If you could set the battery to explode on a timer it would be even cooler. The phone would become standard issue for the military :D

True. There are a lot of tech support people stuck in low-pay shitty jobs. They are hired to take the abuse from customers while the people in charge laugh their way to the bank.

It reduces cost but increases the chance of damage to the display. The steel bezel in previous versions provided very good protection.

It could have been argued that removing the rotating bezel was necessary to make the display edge-to-edge. Sadly, the display on this watch is *not* edge-to-edge. There's a thick black border surrounding the display! There's absolutely no excuse for removing the bezel.

That's true. Software complexity and testing effort increases exponentially with the number of hardware configurations that it has to run on. Apple is lucky in this regard. Their software needs to run correctly only on their own hardware. Microsoft needs to support thousands of hardware...

The iCloud client is going to see a massive spike in downloads :D

This might actually be a good idea. A tiny compact phone without a display, that lets you attach a 6-inch display to use it as a phone and a 12-inch display to use it as a tablet. /s

Well... now manufacturers can do whatever they wish to do and common people must pay $40 extra for every phone. Seems like a win for everybody. /s

Twitter can turn anyone into an asshole. Just use it long enough.
