I do not know if Boston is unique in this regard, but there was a lot of company housing in the region. Where I worked in Longwood (Boston), the offices surrounding me were massive…

I have followed this approach as well. I use a larger display from further away. I did get a deeper desk to enable this in my current setup. Previously, I mounted my monitor on the…

Nowadays, I think it is doable with modern displays. My 165Hz 1440p 32" (31.5") LG with 8 bit color and two external speakers consumes ~20W, measured at the wall. My 14" laptop scr…

IMO (i.e, not an expert, only fiddled around with IC design at .18 micron in undergrad), no fast/cheap try-observe cycle. Software for web? I (often) can see the finished product a…

They have USB controllers and enough PHYs for 4 USB 3.x ports on AM4. I don't know about serial, but they did have SPI and I2C. AM5, I don't know.

For me it's probably Ghidra or Jetbrains IDEA in 2023. Both are desktop, thought I could see the debate on whether or not developers are considered mainstream consumers. I use them…

Wordpad has read docx files for a while now. edit: I just checked my Win11 VM, and Wordpad is included by default. It also reads and writes docx and odt.

Turn the ad off via the settings. Settings->Interface->Notify me about additions or changes[...] Same page also has another option for defaulting to library, community tab, friends…

For the ones that used later gen Nanos (same form factor as early Shuffles) as music devices during running/jogging, the Watch supplanted that role with the added benefit of combin…

MediaTek is pretty decent in terms of open source support for their WiFi chips and SoCs, to the point of continuously supporting a long time OpenWRT developer (Felix Fietkau) to wo…

I have the Power Monitor widget and it does derive from BAT0, according to the source code for the widget. On my laptop BAT0 a bit slow to update, with an update rate of about 0.2H…

If MI300 counts at 146 billion transistors, than I think we can count Cerebras' Wafer Scale Engine 2. It sits at 2.6 trillion transistors. https://www.anandtech.com/show/16626/cere…

GP could be using a double negative. "Less lack of housing."

This somewhat mirrors my own development. I started in C, and am still in it for systems/OS development at work. In UI development, we had older C toolkits, but are replacing them …

So.... what happens when someone decides it's a smart idea to replace all of those commonly used functions that had physical buttons on the steering wheel with more touch buttons? …

^X is …? It totally obviously means shift + 6 + X. Too bad that doesn’t exit the program. Macs in 2022 have an extra ^ on the correct button.

My native Gsync monitor, a now discontinued LG 32GK(?)650 is quite fast as well. I’ve complained a tiny amount about monitor reviewer blind spots, and this is one of them. The spee…

Better than a gym I turned down: that one required a fingerprint, then handprint scan. WTF? I didn't buy any of the excuses for it.

I agree with the idea, but it may depend on how the X11 application was written. My experience with X11 over a network (across a city, geographically and distance-wise) was very po…

My LG monitor has a brick that goes to 65W, but the measured power consumption is ~20W at the wall. ~12W in short idle (screen turned off less than ~1 min ago). ~0W in deep sleep, …

As an aside, many 4k/1440p videos are not really 4k or 1440p, vs how we would classify a 4k/1440p monitor. Video is mostly 4k/1440p light levels, but less than that w.r.t. color in…
