This discussion [1] on another repository of the same account seems to be related. Apparently "the first message on both repositories was DMCA takedown, then for some reason it was changed".

Ridiculous. More than a quarter of Switzerland's residents are foreigners. There are also a lot of cultural differences between the cantons themselves - 4 different languages are spoken for example.


Zug prides themselves in being the <strikethrough>scam</strikethrough> crypto capital of Switzerland.


The father's name is used to distinguish people that have the same name. For example you would say Max Webber [of] John. Of course, birthdays are also used.


> Max Webber [of] John

Kind of like Johnson.


The CPU is not socketed/replacable because intel simply does not sell socketed laptop CPUs. If there was a socketed alternative, I'm sure it would be in the framework.


What is the distinction between 'laptop CPU' and 'desktop CPU' if not BGA (or whatever it is) vs. socketed packaging though, really? Power consumption?

Wouldn't it be nice if there just 'CPUs', and you could pick whatever was appropriate for your desktop or laptop. Sure some would maybe only make sense in one package, but there must be some considerable overlap. I use my desktop for work because it has upgradeable RAM and I needed to do that, not because it has a beefier CPU than is available in a laptop.


Yes, it's mostly power consumption and efficiency, with the puny heatsinks found in most laptops, you can't cool significant amounts of power without throttling. Having the CPU on the motherboard also allows for a thinner assembly. I don't think having a socketed CPU just for the sake of it would have been a good choice here.


Yes, power consumption, and, relatedly, heat dissipation. You'd probably get unusable battery life in a laptop with a desktop CPU, and need a lot of fans to cool it.


Alienware had a socketed CPU and it didn't pan out: https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2020/5/13/21256845/a...


Sockets add measurable height, weight, & power. That part, at least, isn't just a conspiracy.


I agree and I would like to recommend Nextcloud instead of Owncloud for anyone who needs more features than a NAS. Nextcloud has excellent support for calendar and contact synchronisation. There are a ton of other apps you can instal too: apps.nextcloud.com


> If some high quality, widely used and tested code already exists, why not use it instead of trying to reinvent everything?

This is precisely the spirit of free software and the motivation behind movements like public money public code. Govermnets immensely overpay for software (projects).


Because that phrase doesn't exist in German like that. They could have used "standardmäßig" but out-of-the box is more widely used when talking about software and tech.


Well we do have "von Haus aus" but it's less formal and can't be used as a 1:1 replacement because of the grammar.


Perhaps more fitting would be ab Werk, (out of the factory), but either put the focus on the wrong situation.


You could say a priori but then you're just exchanging English for Latin.


Surely you're not implying there might ever be such a thing as life not made out of matter, are you?


There was a fun little episode of PBS SpaceTime that wondered what if there is life inside a sun?
