A dishwasher micro optimization: put the small forks/spoons face down in the basket, and the large ones face up. Helpful when unloading because these items are time consuming to vi…

I made a Shortcut to strip links. You can add it to the share sheet. It'll give you a new share sheet with the stripped link. Much faster than mashing backspace. https://www.icloud…

Did you have the full GUI running back then? I tried this in 2021 but couldn’t get the GUI to launch. It seemed like an expected graphics lib wasn’t available.

Fasting always gets me into a high focus zone (but I don't have ADHD). Try doing a 48 hour zero-calorie/liquid-only fast. Black coffee and teas are fine. Get plenty of electrolytes…

Nice article. Saw a few things I wish I'd known about. 1. %n in printf would be handy when writing CLIs dealing w/ multiple lines or precise counts of backspaces. 2. Using enums as…

I enjoyed the rhetorical style used in this article. A nicely presented mixture of humor and information.

Locality has everything to do with performance. It's why your L1 cache is faster than your L2 cache.

I've used this for about a year, and it has been stable. Hosted on my home computer. https://github.com/tomav/docker-mailserver My emails get rejected from @comcast.net but nobody …

It's harder to imagine coming from the IBM of today, but historically the company has earned many laurels from its numerous important contributions to computing. As my computer arc…

Here's a trivial python script to download them, for the lazy among us. https://gist.github.com/dantler/f26d75f1051db13649aaedf73f7d...

Although I'm not familiar with the specifics of (1) and (2), the characterization that Intel "took a while" or "were really slow" to enable features might be a bit unfair. (I am al…

It is helpful, but not necessary. I am listening in on Seattle's trunked radio system with just one, and I get most of the comms. I documented my setup here: https://dantler.us/sea…

I currently run my own mailserver. It's running on my home computer, which I leave on 24/7 anyway. Administration is quite easy if you start with a well-maintained docker image ,an…

I'm using Brave and my useragent is not unique. Version 1.2.43 Chromium: 79.0.3945.130 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Are you sure you're looking only the "User Agent"? The text at the top is describing your entire "browser fingerprint." It includes everything the server could gather from you. Inc…

Perhaps the "all at once" attack could work against today's hardware. This is because the mics (in devices I know of) are co-planar and the user may be speaking to Alexa (or whoeve…

I'm a bit surprised that this works. It appears that this attack targets a single microphone. However, internal to most of these home assistant devices (e.g. Echo or HomePod) there…

There have been stories in the news which have raised awareness about how Canada exports their recycling/trash to the Philippines.[0] The Philippines seems to pollute heavily, base…

It's pretty easy. With CL.exe (Microsoft's Visual Studio compiler) just use the /SUBSYSTEM:EFI_APPLICATION flag. You may have to manually specify the entry point. Note that there's…

The parent story isn't about some version of Android. Windows 10 X is a real version of Windows, based on the NT Kernel.

Why would a different accelerometer surprise you? The entire SiP is different between the Series 3 and Series 4. One source say the accelerometer in S4 has higher dynamic range. [0…

There isn't a guarantee, but there are incentives for phone/platform providers to avoid spying on you in a battery-powered device. Battery life is still a primary selling point, an…
