In Portugal at least, all (I think? At least all the major ones like Benfica, Sporting and Porto) of the clubs are sports associations and are controlled by the club members. This …

I've used it on trains a bit and it does turn off when the train is going straight ahead. You might be going 200km/h, but if the speed isn't changing and you're always going forwar…

A lot of banks won’t even give you the option of a non-instant transfer now, at least here in Portugal. Though non-instant transfers can in theory be recalled since there is some t…

Google’s phones are pretty good nowadays, I feel like they carry that ethos more than modern OnePlus phones anyway. Plus they can be unlocked trivially, which is officially support…

Ryanair has only ever lost a plane once, due to a bird strike with only some injuries, and they are one of biggest airlines by number of flights (if not the biggest). Turns out pla…

Honestly I just don't really care to anymore. I used to flash custom ROMs on all my phones because I could only afford cheap (100-200€) phones that were filled with bloatware, but …

Same with me, apparently three different models think I am a minor football player. Looking it up, I am not the first result for my full name, but there also is no minor football p…

Well, just the motherboard seems to be over 1200€ so it’s not really in the same league… https://smicro.eu/asrock-altrad8ud-1l2t-1?srsltid=AfmBOoqWFe...

Indeed, I was misinterpreting the OP's suggestion. Can't edit the comment anymore, unfortunately.

I believe that's how the varint encoding used by protobut works: https://protobuf.dev/programming-guides/encoding/#varints

They’ve got external kernel modules that they use for some hardware that is not supported upstream, namely the GPU, but also some things like Ethernet I think. Everything else is u…

Nowadays upstream Linux with UEFI mostly works, with their out of tree drivers. I’ve managed to make it work in NixOS with the stock kernel. Look at the open embedded L4T project, …

I assume a selfish benefit is that OpenAI and Google don't want the models to train on their own data. There is just /so much/ AI generated content online that they definitely need…

Not sure if it’s what you’re looking for, but the playdate is pretty neat.

Update: I was wrong, check max-m's sibling comment! The satellites just move really fast across the camera because they're in LEO, so they can traverse rather large distances befor…

Probably exactly that. If you take a single 10 minute exposure (or really, anything more than a few seconds) you'll get noticeable star trails if you don't put your camera on a rot…

I work on automotive software (not Tesla), and it's like this partially because it makes development _way easier_. Rather than needing to get a whole car to the dev team, you just …

That’s not really incompatible with this? That’s just how secure boot works. You can re-enlist keys for a different root of trust, or disable it and accept the trade-off there.

As of this past year (6.15+), most stuff you’d need for a regular desktop is upstreamed. Collabora has been working pretty hard on getting the chip mainlined, so it’s on a very goo…

It doesn’t really. Server side mods don’t touch rendering code at all, and most client side mods also don’t come anywhere near it. I last did Minecraft mod development some 7 years…

Yep, that's what I'm referring to. For now there aren't many popular drivers that use Rust, but there are currently 3 in-development GPU drivers that use it, and I suspect that whe…

A few distros already do that. Of the top of my head, both NixOS and Arch enable the QR code kernel panic screen, which is written in Rust. Granted, those are rather bleeding edge,…

I have an X1 extreme. I’ve never gotten it to last over 2h on Windows. On Linux it can last an hour or so more if I turn off the NVIDIA GPU, but otherwise it’s still abysmal. Then …

Unfortunately the TPM story for the raspberry pi… isn’t, really. It doesn’t come with one, and while it does support secure boot, it’s incredibly limited and more akin to what you’…

I've encountered systems that only have bash in /bin/bash, or in /usr/bin/bash, and it's a hell of a pain to have to fix every script when using different distros (I think it must'…
