I've participated in (and now have been a ref for) a robotics competition, First Lego League, a couple of times. The robots can have a height of up to 30.5cm (12"), and that's usua…

The problem is that apparently, often enough that is just not the case. On laptops, the LED is not powered with the camera, but controlled by it. And on smartphones, if it's a gree…

What are Jack and Jill parties? (DDG only gives me generic listicles for how to plan a wedding shower.)

You have to enable a setting to see apps marked with that anti-feature when searching

As described in the README, the combination of root access and locking the bootloader has the caveat that it's easy to brick your boot partition by accidentally making changes to i…

You would spend some time outdoors being active, which is good for you but also entirely possible without killing animals. I'd argue that's the same for meat.

> DP has a HDMI compatibility mode that allows a DP output to output a HDMI signal, but at the wrong voltage. The external adapters are just level shifters to bring the signal volt…

He did make a "sequel" addressing that: https://youtube.com/watch?v=SkL9vzW7nY0 You usually can't do much against anti-repair or anti-consumer stuff alone (especially in organizati…

I sometimes think about trying keyboard things like this, but I'm pretty much always on the go with my laptop. My desk at home can be described as just the horizontal surface that …

You actually can connect two machines via USB-C (USB4 / Thunderbolt) and you get a network connection. You only get Link-Local addresses by default, which I recall as somewhat anno…

Depends on your definition of sale, but influencing elections comes to mind.

AI scrapers aren't a subset of the users/readers/audience of a website, they are parasites to society that harm their prey by causing huge costs.

I suppose they're going for a trade-off between "cheaper" and "satisfying" (as in, the satiafaction of sticking it to unethical shitty companies)

TFA = The Friendly Article (or with the other word that begins with f) It's used as a shorthand for "the article we're talking about"

Probably depends on the city, but where I'm from it's difficult (but probably not completely impossible) to get a Döner for 5€ :(

14TB of mobile data usage sounds fun, how did you do that?

With all else being equal, I'm willing to believe that more intelligence would lead to greater income. But if you're claiming that IQ is the sole/main predictor for income that'd b…

I think users "want" it the same way smokers "want" cigarettes.

Genuine curiosity: How do you know?

You only re-export the unchanged parts. EVFILT_AIO is the same in 0.2.0 and 0.2.1 (which is different - in practice and to the compiler - to EVFILT_AIO in 0.3). (Only) c_void is th…

That heavily depends on where you are. I can't speak for everywhere, but in the cities I'm in it's fairly common to cross a red light or a road you're not supposed to cross.

I've been using that one for a long time now. I recall that when I got started with Syncthing (some months to a year or two ago?), it seemed to have been the folk wisdom to use Syn…

Do you mean a video sharing site? Maybe self-hosting PeerTube might be something for you. It's designed with federation (with other instances via ActivityPub) in mind, but the FAQ …

That looks awesome! I was wondering if it requires a 100W PD supply, but according to the manual everything with at least 20W should work.

Genuine question: What makes you believe that an employer would decide to pay you more when they notice that they're paying you less than other companies would? Why wouldn't they j…
