If you have wired I just found out you can get a $30 wireless dongle for this these days. Available for both CarPlay and Android Auto. Meant to work pretty flawlessly although mine…

It's not entirely, because Github simply does not support inter-version diffs when you have multiple commits. If you force push onto multiple commits there is no way to show a diff…

Something like Gerrit. Instead of carefully crafting a logical series of patches that are all well documented with commit messages, PRs are just garbage filled diff soup of "fix ty…

Migrating to Obsidian looks to be very easy now: https://help.obsidian.md/import/evernote When I converted many years ago it required 3rd party tools and was slightly more involved…

Presumably they were using a decompiler e.g. IDA Pro to know what characters to change in the hex editor? I've done that before to find offsets in the binary to NOP out some functi…

5% at 70 mph is 3.5 mph 10% at 30 mph is 3 mph I saw this with various European cars. My experience is that it seems to be a fixed percentage rather than a fixed amount i.e. the ab…

Just use gettimeofday/clock_gettime via vDSO. struct timespec ts; clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &ts); On arm64 it directly uses the cntvct_el0 register under the hood but with a s…

I agree. Seems like the first step should be understanding that you CAN have control over it, even if you don't currently; and that you have the agency and strength to do that with…

Not to mention Meta is ad tech so these will be full to the brim of tracking and adverts to recoup R+D costs. I'm yet to be convinced these are useful and not just another way to i…

This column had some good insight: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-09-12/banker...

Last time I tried to report a fake product to Amazon it's literally impossible. It simply isn't one of the pre-determined options available through customer service, either the sel…

Actually with vaping it becomes pretty easy to quit. You just taper down the nicotine slowly until you're on nothing and eventually you just kind of stop because you don't feel the…

There is PhotoGIMP[1] that copies the hotkeys and tool layout. It doesn't replicate behaviour exactly obviously but it does make it actually usable for me as someone who used Photo…

What country is that? That's a lot. At least in the UK if you don't watch regular TV you don't have to pay the licence fee (£159/year).

There are modern alternatives to many of the classic utils e.g. `fd` for find, with better CLI args and other improvements ripgrep for grep also comes to mind

Where's the list that show all car brands? Doesn't seem to be easily found on that page or any of the linked ones.

This is what I want from a new search engine: 1. Respect exact match searches - this used to work enclosing the search terms in "" quotes, but no longer works. If there are no exac…
