Countries with sane laws include a tolerance limit to take into account flaws in speedometers and radars. Here in Brazil, the tolerance is 10%, so tickets clearly state "driving at…

My personal favourite is "JayScript".

I don't know enough of the 8086 so I don't know if this works the same, but on the Z80 (which means it was probably true for the 8080 too), XOR A would also clear pretty much all b…

The last thing we need is more enshitification on this space. I just migrated my selfhosted email server to Hetzner and I don't want them turning into monstrosity like AWS or Azure…

dirt cheap Nvidia GPUs, perhaps ?

That's the catch phrase of zoology youtuber Lindsay Nikole. https://youtube.com/@LindsayNikole

Having both screens on the outside doesn't let you use the main cameras when folded, Apple would never do that.

It's much easier to smuggle a USB drive with Windows updates than it is a few tonnes of metal. Then China will switch a billion desktops to Linux and the US will still need rare ea…

That is assuming the objects will be at the same place relative to us, which is not true. Like reaching Andromeda. Voyager I will reach oyr neighbouring galaxy in roughly 4.5 billi…

If China has a monopsony on soy beans, then they nogociate from a position if power, because the US either sells on their terms or see the beans rot.

Many banks and Fintechs here offer this, the trick is that you need to open a local office, so you have a Brazilian subsidiary with a CNPJ number in order to open a bank account an…

There are plenty of companies in Brazil that offer PIX payments to foreign e-shops. Valve has been accepting PIX for some time now, for example.

Pix is free for natural persons and individual entrepreneurs. For businesses, receiving is free, but they pay a fee to send money[0], this can vary from one institution to another.…

Some languages do it way more frequently. Take my native Portuguese. Brazil had 3 ortographic reforms in the 20th century, while Portugal had 5 in the same period, all before the "…

That's good for small rewinds, but with a Bic pen, you can rewind the whole tape as fast (maybe even faster than some) ad a tape deck. Just slide the pen in the spool and start spi…

It's such a versatile product. I bet everyone here who's older than 45/50 have at least once used a Bic pen to rewind a cassete tape. I also used the plastic clip as a stapler remo…

That's because WSL2 implements an X11 client and sets the DISPLAY variable. X11 network transparency does the rest. You can do the same on Linux, as long as you're to learn how X11…

For corpos, I attribute it to BOTH. They're malicious AND stupid.

More like a documentary of the last eight.

Brazilian punk rock band Garotos Podres (Rotten Kids) recorded a song called "Papai Noel Filho da P#*&@" (Santa Claus Son of a B&#£¢). It's an Anarcho-Socialist anthem that exposes…

A large enough telescope in space, with a coronagraph could, in teory, find such planets by direct imaging. Right now, I believe only JWST fits the bill, but using it for this purp…

Taiwanese law forbids TSMC manufacturing chips abroad using their latest process, so no 2nm in the US fabs,this leaves Intel's 18A as the mist advanced one in US soil.

So does fission reactors. Modern French nuclear subs are powered by 48 MW reactors. They're still expensive to build and maintain.
