I intend to. They don't sell steam deck/it's parts where I live. So the next time people visit me from far away, they'd have to bring one along. That being said, steam deck isn't a…

This is a really good card that keeps on getting better. After my steam deck battery puffed up and my RX580 became too old to play any modern games, I had two choices: 1. Upgrade t…

I think the steam deck proved otherwise too.. I haven't had enough motivation to sit on my couch and game after a long day .. But the same game, in bed, on my deck was so much nice…

Chances are you'll run out of ram trying to run a browser inside another browser on a TV with 1-2GB ram usually. You might have a better luck with network level ad blocker like pi-…

Wait, what happened to quick share?

It's definitely the port too. I changed the cable and the connection is still loose. Not as bad as the previous cable, but still bad..

Yesterday, I had an interesting situation where a colleague was using LLM to type up the chat responses to me. They used an LLM to come up with a Hackathon idea. They tried to use …

I think my only big complaint with USB C these days is that the sockets wear out quickly. The charging port on my motorola phone got so loose that I frequently end up with an uncha…

The best part of this is you can daisy chain tunnels and have a network connection between any machines you can ssh into. If you have a private server with a public IP, you don't n…

> I don't quite understand why "embedded" has historically meant learning a completely separate tool. I've been building for x86 and ARM servers for 5+ years now, so why should tar…

$1049 .. Damn. Here's hoping my $135 BC-250 arriving tomorrow works without any issue. Either way, congrats to Valve!

Wouldn't HEVC licences already be paid by the hardware/gpu vendors on most devices? And Microsoft just exposes api for that hardware? Is this just for a purely software implementat…

Fun story: A few years ago, I worked for a small company that customized off the shelf routers to enable businesses provide Wifi Hotspots. The routers were very basic model with ve…

We faced a lot of this this year. Eager new joinees sent 100s of lines of CLs to review to "improve" little things. Not only did the new changes did not fix what they thought it wo…

Typically libgcc_so.so is loaded by the linker, which uses an mmap call to map the binary into the address space. > The kernel keeps track of which file is mapped where, and can de…

Mark of the ninja - definitely fun and half the gameplay was putting out lamps. The mimimi games: Shadow Tactics, Desperados 3, Shadow Gambit are my favourite.. it's view cones but…

The worst part of this is half of these are the same white labelled tuya devices that can simply bind to each other's apps or the original tuya app.. And half of them completely di…

I encountered this while scrolling and thought this would be a good small low level programming video to share

Mosh instead of ssh. Works well enough for as long as it works. Road warrior even supports it. But i keep going back to regular ssh or shpool with roadwarrior.

I think things might have changed in the last 6-7 years? That's when I switched away from Nvidia. Or does your laptop have no other igpu? My last Nvidia laptop was a Hybrid optimus…

Nvidia on desktop has been mostly fine, if not rock solid, on the happy path they provide. But their happy path hasn't included proper wayland support for a long time. Nvidia on la…

The vast majority of the TVs only come with HDMI .. not even good enough analog inputs anymore..

Putting all the cynicism side.. it's amazing how big the changes in how we deal with information in our life time changed.. When I was younger, to solve a problem, we had to memori…

Honestly, LLMs have been quite good at helping me procrastinate less on my pet projects. It took me a weekend to build a little esp8266 gadget that automatically turns off my paren…
