One of my pet peeves are pages that detect that I am from another region and then redirect: not to the corresponding page in my language: but to the site's front page with a differ…

Growth is unrealistic. During the industrial revolution, people were still exploring the world and expanding their reach, establishing new colonies for raw materials. We are living…

One GIF is a clip from the Hollywood movie WarGames (1983). Not that there isn't animation in it , but... the animation was projected onto a large screen and then that screen with …

I'd say that 4-6 hours is often the cut-off point for total travel time city-to-city -- provided that the train is fast. I and a friend once started at Stockholm Central station to…

I think the way airline tickets are priced is a big factor, and needs to change. It is often cheaper to take a connecting flight to an airport and flying from there than to start f…

You could use any programmable microcontroller with a USB interface. Consumer products tend to have fuses set to they can't be programmed again. The latest driver registered with M…

A few years ago, plugging in a Razer USB mouse made Windows download and run a installer from which the current user could start PowerShell with administrator privileges. Razer fir…

The other day, I tried the latest Kubuntu on a Samsung netbook from 2011. It was impossibly slow, and Wayland did not even render colours correctly on the screen.

The 3D file browser was one of the demo programs that came pre-installed on SGI machines, at least in the late '90s.

It is a touchy subject. When you have it, you don't want to think about it all the time.

It has bugs with long words: I typed "MARRY AND REPRODUCE". That was the only try that got the last word on a single line, but with too much space between U and C. If the string is…

Install/Enable support for the Compose key. Map it to Menu or some other unused key. Then press Compose and three hyphens in sequence. I have used emdash, typed this way for many y…

One of my hobbies is making replicas of movie props, and my own creations that seem to be from fictional universes. I would love to see the tablet and "quill" embellished a bit. Wo…

I think that if you'd need to debounce requests, it would be better to put it in a pressed and/or highlighted state until the button is ready again. Then you'd indicate to the user…

I'm on a few classic forums with threads that are over 20 years old, with a wealth of information about a topic. It is easier to revisit a thread and find new posts when posts are …

Some enthusiasts have made custom PCBs for Topre and Niz switches, even columnar ergo. I've not seen the ErgoDox layout specifically, and I dunno how to source individual switches …

But isn't there be a legal difference between a "conspiracy" that led to a bad situation and a "conspiracy to commit murder"?

Isn't the purpose of zines to publish them? Then how could that even be considered concealment?

The world is not black and white and simple. Things could be taken out of context, and people tend to project. People have got into trouble for having retold a controversial joke t…

I've woken up from surgery with an epidural that had a leak. That wasn't fun. It made it emotionally difficult to get surgery again.

I got an estimate of 70,550, from a score of 87/100 (20/18/16/17/16). Not native English speaker. I suppose the words must be weighed, because other people in the thread with more …

Unlike many flip phones, there is smartphone hardware inside capable of running Android apps — except that it is only a curated selection from Commodore's own app store. The cost o…

I had expected it to remind me of a bread-bin C64. A little "cassette futurism". Design language is such a big part of branding.

WASM has a (pointer + i32) address mode, and the effective address is 33 bits. So WASM implementations use 8GB mappings ...
