But it is not for prosumer. I don't want my PC to be terminal to 4-5 providers of compute who could ban me or raise prices tenfold overnight. I don't see any advances for me, only …

It is interesting, that changes from 8.0 to 8.1 is more substantial than from 8.1 to 9.0. I don't say it to mean "they did less work," no, what his interesting to me is choice of m…

In the theory, if you install DLNA renderer/controller (player) on TV you could make appropriate DLNA media source from VLC or, maybe, ffmpeg. Put it on RPi (as it could skip trans…

IPTV from your ISP is typically multicast (even if your connection is point-to-point), and if you have more than one network behind your router (for example, you have separate netw…

This "hopelessly proprietary, and you have to pay to use it." is what scary me most. How often there are stories "Google/Apple/Microsoft [but mostly Google] deactivate my account f…

Rocket-like, yes. Like illustration from old "Amazing Stories" or other "pulp" magazine of golden age of SciFi :)

Yes, it is why last iteration by Luke Maximo & Father used trimmed-down propellers rotating really fast :-)

Interesting, that this form-factor was popularized by DIY builders. First one was dutch-built, sponsored by Red Bull after prototyping stage, to film Verstappen's full F1 lap (so s…

> It's okay to receive salary though. Are you sure? I'm paying 48% as income tax, and then 21% as VAT and some additional taxes on gasoline, electricity, LPG, car, motorcycle, hous…

Or it is low-grade crystal which cannot run on i5 speeds. Who knows.

It is how Russia become what it is: we all be said «If you don't like new law/regulation, go to your beloved USA, you are not a patriot and must be punished». I'm sorry, but German…

Same with some old IBM hardware: two CPUs were installed in each box, but if you bought only 1 CPU server other one is disabled via firmware.

You always could find deep niche where any high-level technology is not suitable. I don't think you will program such device in C, rather in assembly, right? When you have like mem…

> Because the last time I looked it appeared to need some godawful slow bytecode interpreter that took up thousands of kilobytes of RAM. Did you looked at java 1.2 at 1998 last tim…

> Their slicer is open source but it downloads a plugin once you launch it if you choose to which is closed sourced that interacts with their APIs. It is very dubious way to subver…

I like author's style / voice. Very soothing, very humane. Is it is consistent for old posts too, I hope it is not LLM :)

This extension piggyback SQLite native transactions. For example, queueing data will be rolled back if transaction is rolled back due to some constrains violations. It is possible …

I wish Thunderbird fix their plain text editor (it is at level of old Notepad, and chrome for it looks ugly, and line wrapping is a mess, especially with in-line quotation), add ab…

I nominate Adobe to the worst corp. in the world of software. Fusion360 at least works on Linux Photoshop/Lightroom don't.

Yep, you are right, more precise, and precision is very important in this topic. I stand corrected.

write with release semantic cannot be reordered with any other writes, dependent or not. Relaxed atomic writes can be reordered in any way.

JVM has almost the same (C++ memory model was modeled after JVM one, with some subtle fixes).

I've tried smartphone with e-Ink (mostly for motorcycle and hiking navigation, not as daily driver) and know this problem — it is impossible to share this experience via screenshot…

I think, in case of e-Ink photo is much more informative, as screenshot takes data from frame buffer and didn't take screen technology in account.

There is no "Linux/ARM[64]". But there are "Raspberry Pi" and "RISC-V". I don't know such OSes, to be honest :-) This support table is complete mess. And saying "most platforms are…
