I'm not Greg Kroah-Hartman in case you're wondering.

    If you didn't mind sharing, I'd like to hear more about your use case. I'm assuming these would be things like temp/humidity sensors and such. I suppose you'd want to avoid wake-up…

    Yeah, it's gonna be more than that. You'll also need a hot plate, flux, solder wick. I'd double that price to 120, not to mention it takes quite a bit of practice to learn bga sold…

    Yeah, I don't think I'd have made the jump otherwise, since convincing others on the team would have been much harder.

    Looks neat. Might give it a go tomorrow.

    Probably nice to have for those with low income that only have a Chromebook.

    This except in production. Nothing helped. I actually stopped using containers for a bit after that.

    Reminds me of a NES that I overclocked when I was around 14 years old. It was the sort of silly thing a nerdy kid would do with too much free time on their hands, and didn't do muc…

    I thought this law was just a joke, but after Manny years of development, I'm finding out it's very real. It's also increasingly painful to make happen in today's email ecosystem.

    What are the practical applications of this? The things that come to mind when I hear "ultrasound" are medical devices and wall scanners. That said, it's a cool project, even if it…

    How much does display calibration factor into this? I'm fairly confident it must impact the results, but unsure how much error it would introduce.

    "Sucking at something is the first step to being sorta good at something" ~Jake the Dog (Adventure Time) I feel this doesn't get taught enough in school and it's a really important…

    Honestly surprised it took this long. I guess it's less than ideal, since the wii doesn't support modern tv resolutions.

    If we could send every politician as a prerequisite for the job, I think it would greatly benefit mankind. It would be far more difficult to make corrupt decisions after seeing our…

    Neat educational game. Would have liked to see Maple Mono in the line up, but I'm sure you've gotta draw the line somewhere or the game would be too tedious.

    Same. Came down to Fira Code and PT Mono. I already use Fira Code, so I probably biased to what I'm used to. I do think that Fira Code is hard to beat when it comes to ambiguous ch…

    I really thought we'd be using a Firefox powered by Servo by now, but instead we're getting a second UI rewrite. At least it's not becoming a chromium wrapper.

    Agreed, once you've spent hrs fighting with C build tools under a deadline, it becomes very easy to see why this is beneficial.

    It's can a long time since I've heard those sound clips. Brings back a lot of great memories of playing WCIII as a teen. Didn't have the money at the time to play WoW, so I ended u…

    You can pick a used one up for pretty cheap. Add a flash cartridge and you're done. I think the cheap android handhelds of the same form factor are a better option though. I've sti…

    It's a shame they didn't add a photo with another object for reference. Without looking at the price and dimensions, it looks pretty unassuming.

    This is great. Makes these tools much more discoverable. I can help but notice the drop in plugin ui quality one you click the foss filter checkbox. Something in me wants a foss pl…

    I had a quick thought to do something like this a while back, but never got around to the experimental phase. I ended up buying a new controller instead (whilst grumbling about mak…

    Welp, I guess Firefox forks are gonna get a lot more users in the near future. Hopefully turning off the ai features will be an available option as mentioned, but hopefully they'll…

    If you don't mind me asking, what did you end up buying, and what was lacking support? I'd expect full support from one of the "Linux first" suppliers like System76.

    Good point. That seems like a good option as well if you don't need any other features. I don't really use many of the smart features, but the ability to set up cleaning zones in v…
