    I did the same thing with my netbook 4 years ago, but I went with Debian instead to make my life a bit easier. It was, at the time, one of a small number of distros that still offi…

    Google Illuminate does this. I believe it was actually a precursor to Gemini Notebook. It uses a similar podcast generating model but tuned to keep things more technical and detail…

    And that was only half the planned game until you bought Sonic & Knuckles with Lock-On Technology.

    There are lightweight YouTube embeds like https://github.com/paulirish/lite-youtube-embed . It’s lauded for faster page loads, but it likely has good privacy implications too since…

    At least for now, YouTube honors the uploader’s label of whether or not the content was AI generated. Only when it’s left unset do they do any automatic labeling. And those labels …

    It looks like copying from EFB to XFB can do an RBG to YUV conversion automatically.

    I know those offer virtual GPUs, but I am unfamiliar with any paravirtual GPU offerings from VMWare or VirtualBox. The virtual GPUs are much more limited in performance and graphic…

    I assume your concern with GPU passthrough is that each VM needs a whole GPU? You can use GPU-PV to split your GPU between VM instances. Then the main bottleneck becomes how thin y…

    It sounds to me like a product of the ‘90s. CRTs were still common, and they support essentially arbitrary fixed refresh rates. It wouldn’t have been a big deal at the time. It’s l…

    Last I’d checked, “﷽”is the widest Unicode character.

    If you have evidence to the contrary, it would make for a great lawsuit. Apple is very explicit that they cannot read it. This data is end-to-end encrypted, much like the data coll…

    Not sure where ads for pizza places are coming from, but the suggested maps trips are part of the “Significant Locations” feature. That data is end-to-end encrypted across your dev…

    The link you shared details hacker groups exploiting consumer hardware. This is very different than selling compromised, backdoored hardware.

    It’s still there; it’s just nowhere near as popular. The Classic theme is what you’re looking for.

    Very interesting to see the workers in yellow presumably cleaning and manually plugging in the cars to charge.

    A few things that stood out to me: - One of the key factors in powder over pods in his prior videos was cost. Cheap powder runs about 6.6¢/oz. The brand he’s promoting is $1.11/oz,…

    That’s pretty wild, since the energy needed to get it up to temp would still need to be expended on the water heater side. There are no real energy efficiency gains unless they can…

    Space and weight are serious constraints in the car space, but not such a big deal on the side of a house. That’s how they retain their usefulness. 80% could indeed be plenty of us…
