Zeng, an NYU grad student, spent six weeks last year detailing the life of a Chinese worker at an iPhone factory, Pegatron, near Shanghai. It’s not all bad, but it isn't good either.

Quote: Zeng earned about $665 during his six weeks at Pegatron.
That should be just enough to buy an IPhone 7 and a couple of bowls of noodles per day. Thank goodness Apple takes care of their suppliers with only a 38% profit margin and 18 billion dollar profit this past quarter.

Quote: Pegatron workers who make Apple products work for 43 hours per week on average
So that's 90 hours a week each for the guys on the shop floor, and two hours a week each for the army of managers.

I read about it the first time today on the webpage of the German magazine c't.
It is a file and image compression used by Windows 10: Compact OS, single-instancing, and image optimization[^].
While used by default only for system files stored on SSDs, it may be used with a command line tool for all files on NFTS drives. Such files can be read on Windows 10 only. There is so far only an experimental open source project allowing read only.
At c't they tested if the common forensic tools are able to process such compressed files and they failed all (German link: Forensik-Tools patzen bei neuer Windows-Kompression | heise Security[^]).

I've long been a fan of the style of code that AmmyUI uses but it wasn't gaining much real traction mainly because of the costs. They have just moved to it being free, including for commercial development. AmmyUI - now free[^]

I suspect your firewall is blocking the site. Our firewall here at work gave me a message stating the site was high risk and refused to load it.

Maybe posting in Free Tools Discussion Boards[^]

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I posted here because it was newsworthy.

I know... I was not telling you, this is the wrong forum or something in that way. I suggested to add a mention there, because people interested on free software looks there not here.

Mozilla engineers are working on a new section in the browser's preferences that will let users control the browser's performance. Perhaps a good step in the right direction

Where is the Turbo button in FireFox? 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I had a game where you could fly planes. If you turned on the Turbo, it ran way too fast to be able to control the plane. Ah, those were the days.

Complaint about the growing use of chat services like Slack, HipChat, and so on, for communication by open source projects is that these services are not open. You put your gripes in and you shake it all about~

From the article:
"Full disclosure: my employer makes a Slack alternative."
|
|
|
|
|
yea, but he also says "All my concerns about the use of Slack type chat services apply equally to its competitors, including my employer’s."
The article raises good points...

I respectfully disagree. Being open source vs proprietary has no bearing on being Synchronous vs Asynchronous or whether you can link and/or pull content.

Really? I've used such systems, and they definitely suffer from those "features".

But that's not an issue of "open source" vs "proprietary", but of fundamental design.

True, but it is an issue of it being "closed access" and "proprietary"
