    You mention a Fluke, which I'm assuming is in relation to an ethernet cable tester (made by Fluke). I've seen/used continuity testers, but not something better (I've been using ipe…

    I got Kerbal Space Program to run by just copying the entire folder then deleting the Steam dlls. Not sure how many games that will work for though.

    The "trick" I've seen is just doing it with enough space to be safe and with property owner permission. The cops are likely caring about safety not the letter of culturally unenfor…

    In my experience (Pinephone) Plasma mobile was slower then Phosh by a very noticeable amount. And I remember a poll on Pine64 forum on mobile DE was like 50% Phosh...

    Better open hardware would help a ton. Phosh itself was made for the Librem 5. The mobile specific Linuix apps are getting made in response to hardware, not to make a market for it…

    Fully second doing some learning. A lot of the critical 'meta' is fairly basic. Factory first, don't stall energy, reclaim wins games, commander strong early. Also if you see me(sa…

    Compilers will convert mul/div to shifts, if they notice one of the operands is a power of 2. I would have included a link to an example on compiler explorer ( https://godbolt.org/…

    I've seen it used to deliver 'apps' that 90% of a business's employees use. (EX: Met/Team) in the Metrology (calibration) space.

    I was able to install there controller software on pretty much any PC (windows or linuix) and adopt and configure APs. No phone required. Not sure about other networking gear.

    When I switched my desktop from Windows 10 -> Debian, I noticed the fans ran less (until video games). And I pretty much ran the same apps. 1/2 of the complaining is a lack of bein…

    Adding to this. x86 Most random Linuix ISOs will boot on anything. I've seen software compiled before the hardware had finished being designed boot just fine. (in the latest case l…

    cubesat + small rocket. Orbital mechanics require a burn at a later time in the orbit, to avoid coming back to say hello again to Mr. Trebuchet (Ignoring Earth's rotation)

    You would have to do at least a circulization burn no matter the budget spent on maglev.
