    Yes, it does. It always renders internally at 2x which means that's all applications have to support. Then it downsamples the final framebuffer to the resolution of the display.

    There is zero point in sampling higher than 48khz. That captures all frequencies up to 20khz or so. 192khz is just a waste of bandwidth for no actual gain.

    For years my iPhone would try to autocorrect "mum" to "nun".

    We already have a markup language capable of this. It's called HTML.

    On the flip side I built a PC back in 2016 (with two SSD's) which went into storage about 6 months later. I just got that PC back this year and it booted up just fine with all the …

    I'm not a fan of Prettier at all. A log of the time I find it makes code uglier.

    Turbo Frames ( https://turbo.hotwired.dev/handbook/frames ) does this. It does mean pulling in a JavaScript library (and the user having JS enabled) but you don't have to write any…

    At the time Apple Maps came out, Google Maps on iOS was limited to bitmap tiles and had no turn by turn directions, whereas Google Maps on Android had both dynamic vector based map…

    The Switch is 1280x720 and the Steam Deck is 1280x800. They're not the same size.

    If frequencies abover 20Khz are causing audible differences in the audible frequency range then that's considered distortion and there's an issue in your playback chain somewhere. …

    FLAC has a massive advantage over WAV/AIF in that it can be tagged with metadata for the music player software to read and display.

    48Khz can theoretically be better because the anti-aliasing and reconstruction filters can have a gentler slope, but modern oversampling converters make this moot now.

    Decibels is a logarithmic (and relative) unit, not linear. So each bit represents 6db or a doubling of amplitude.

    The audio jack on Raspberry Pi's has always been terrible quality anyway. Ok in a pinch but it's not a huge loss. If you want quality analog output from a Pi you need a DAC hat.

    You won't have to. They can all be stacked.

    No idea why it says that, but I downloaded the demo on my M1 MacBook Pro and it works just fine.

    Indeed, and said feature allowed me to open and edit 70MB photoshop files on a Pentium 75 with 4MB of RAM back in the late 90's. Albeit pretty slowly.

    The Udoo Bolt will happily run entirely off a single USB-C cable. 4K video output, power, and USB.

    I love so much about this! A few thoughts: I love that it's a proper UK mac layout. This is so hard to find in the mechanical keyboard world. I'm not sure about the mix of key prof…

    You probably want to look at SA profile keycaps.

    Yeah, I've used Administrate a bunch. All those things are possible in Administrate as it generates controllers that can be customized, so anything it doesn't do out of the box can…

    This looks very similar to Administrate by thoughtbot https://github.com/thoughtbot/administrate
