Decentralised Centralised Decentralised Version Control System. What fun.

As someone who lives on linux and has to touch OSX for things like building for iOS devices, I find it really odd that OSX doesnt just solve these problems like all the FOSS distro…

Todays equivalent would be those Funko PopVinyl figures. I'm amazed at how many people thìnk they are worth something when theres hundreds of rudimentary looking figures for every …

Gnome 3 has all those shortcuts, albeit Workspaces are now in a single column, so you only have up and down navigating workspaces.

Not surprised to see a modem/router from Australia's biggest Telco on the list. Australia's internet is in such a confusing state. At the moment a house could potentially get inter…

Yeah, I would have thought that curated meant there was reasoning and insight into selections. This isn't very curated at all.

Did you try a later kernel? out of the box ubuntu 16.04 is on the longterm 4.4 kernel. It looks like some ryzen features and patches have been added to 4.10, and they probably were…

I'm hoping that they do bring it back, because Nintendo did see the potential and have dev tools for the WiiU to target html based content - https://developer.nintendo.com/tools

Well in this case DRM means Direct Rendering Manager ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Rendering_Manager ) What I find even more interesting is AMD takes over half of that.

If you use the Minimal CD for installing ubuntu ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD ) you can pick a metapackage along the way that may be more to your likin…

Here are a few things that I experience on android. -When snapchat is foregrounded my phone wont go to sleep. -Sometimes the camera will just go black, hang, and crash the entire a…

My 2 cents: - 14.10 isn't LTS, and is EOL now, i think you might mean 14.04? - If you're going to disable unity for a dock, you might want to try elementaryOS, ubuntu Gnome with th…

It seems like a dream come true when you're in the business of people buying new iterations of the same thing, Which seems to be all SoCs and embedded systems providers these days.…

I Have a NUC at home, but its power as a computer seems to be wasted on being the smart part of a TV to me. So I use a nexus player for its interface and the NUC runs its DLNA and …

The last time i tested old browsers it was impossible to view anything. The main problem is the Host field isn't sent by a lot of browsers from that time, and sites won't respond. …

it looks like there is a umx decoder (libmodplug) in ffmpeg actually, and i have the games on steam. Maybe i'll convert them to mp3 myself for a trip down memory lane. speaking of …

The whole Unreal series and the engine it spawned were, and still are something i love to just look at. I remember going through the file system as a kid and looking at all the nic…

This is my approach with things too. Instead of saying know I explain the complexities of what would happen by saying yes: - Other projects will be pushed out of the way - Your dea…

Doing this guide verbatim is a terrible idea to anyone who doesn't understand what they are doing, Especially obtaining from a source like the pirate bay. You can obtain an ISO str…

I have nostalgic memories of null modems and IPX/SPX to play old Westwood games.

I always have GPS disabled, unless its more to do with where i live, GPS features of snapchat aren't worth using. The infuriating thing i notice though is that since the android up…

My father worked for a very long time on traffic signal systems, and a lot of their old technology was a simple EEPROM chip which they wrote a program for the signals, burned to a …

Evey now and again I see a picture or article being shared around saying Facebook are spying on you and how their apps have all these permissions to use your camera and phone audio…
