Rather than download the 30GB Master Chief collection, you might try downloading the Xemu OG XBOX emulator plus the original game on archive.org. https://xemu.app/

Electric cookers don't "measure" pressure. They are thermostatically controlled via a sensor touching the bottom of the bowl and, because they are sealed, that temperature directly…

Russia has not formally declared they are at war. Some like Peskov have stated that they are in a state of war but that's different. In fact it is illegal in Russia to refer to it …

Yep. I bought one of these intentionally for that reason. The USB port on my Kobo Clara HD stopped working one day after I hadn't used it in a wile. Couldn't connect to it via my P…

If this is the case, they should start using AI less.

You didn't mention that he also co-authored the book "Open Circuits" that shows cross sectional images of a wide variety of electrical and electronic components. The pictures are b…

Q: What do you call the person that graduated medical school with the worst grades? A: Doctor

Deer ticks will go after pretty much anything warm blooded: coyotes, mice, dogs, etc etc etc. Proximity to water doesn't seem to factor much either. Where I live, ticks this year a…

I'd recommend usenet over torrents tbh.

Its not so much the days but the hours. Days start getting pretty short in winter. The sun also doesn't get as high in the sky so the efficiency of a fixed panel drops further.

Two out of the three links in this post are from less than a week ago and paint a much less optimistic picture. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48467606

I know what you're meaning but the 5800X3D is still a beast of a gaming CPU. It remains a great option for AM4 gaming.

I somehow got my 15C's slip case wet and so the calculator sticks out the end a wee bit. And a couple of the rubber feel fell off and got lost. Other than that, it works perfectly …

They've made major strides in the last two years. Give the next LTS a shot and I think you'll agree.

> but every time I try a Wayland based desktop I always end up encountering weird bugs and corner cases with basic usability that drive me back to X11. The risk in that in this age…

I have a virtual pinball cab with two (and soon) three displays. Wayland really makes life difficult here because the software needs to always put the playfield on one display, the…

Konsole and Spectacle deserve a shoutout as well. Konsole for its flexibility and feature set while remaining really performant, and Snapshot for being just so darn handy for both …

There were plenty of good reasons to cancel the Arrow: it was very difficult to fly, it burned fuel like crazy, it had poor maneuverability, etc. A friend of mine is considered an …

I have a Kobo Clara HD and one day it wouldn't connect to USB anymore. Changed cables, took it apart to examine the connector (it was fine), tried it on both my Desktop and my lapt…

Yep, I know all about block heaters. But that's a separate issue from range.

Yep. I put a heat pump in my house last year. It doesn't function at all below "only" -30C and doesn't make economic sense vs my natural gas furnace until around 0C. I got it inste…

Another consideration is your local climate. It can get down to -40C here. Both ICE and EVs pay a range penalty in those conditions, but it compounds the problem with charging stat…

I was wondering about the significance of the returned value 0.63739. Best explanation I found was this HN post [0]: "Referencing a US telephone keypad, it spells NERDY" https://ne…

> I think it's Windows only though (very, tables are all scripted in VBScript and PinMAME is loaded as a COM object). Fortunately for us, you're wrong :-) VPX now runs on Linux, Ma…
