    Yeah. For example, the same Netflix account is used even if you switch tvOS profiles.

    I requested my data three days ago and got "Raw Data" and "Phased [...]" early today. Still waiting for the last set.

    You're talking about FPGA tools but this thread is about VLSI design where the major EDA vendors (Synopsys, Cadence, and Mentor) don't sell hardware(*) and *do* make a lot of money…

    I happily used my Unicomps for more than 15 years. They're still fine but I got a Model F reproduction a couple of years ago. It's much more expensive but the feel is even better!

    I'm pretty sure my 2017 Macbook Pro (Intel, no Touch Bar) doesn't have a Secure Enclave chip, yet it supports Passkeys.

    You'd save the QR code at the time you first used it on the old phone, and not wait for when you needed to transfer it. For me, I'd usually be on the desktop when setting up 2FA an…

    I've been using Emacs for more than 30 years and my init file is mostly loading and configuring extra packages, and not customizing the editing behavior. I have no problem working …

    MythTV was the reason I bought and assembled my first x86 PC. I even bought a copy of Red Hat Linux 8 Personal (before Fedora) to run on it. That system became my main desktop PC a…

    Unlike the CPUs, I think the AMD APUs that support ECC (the "Pro" versions) aren't available through normal retail channels.

    Times have changed. My TV (a 2018 Sony) needed a firmware update to support Dolby Vision. My receiver needed a firmware update to support eARC.

    I waited four years for a reproduction (from https://www.modelfkeyboards.com/ ) plus another year to complete the keycaps. Worth the wait. Expensive and it has an oddball layout, b…

    Knives Out wasn't a Netflix production, was it? I believe Netflix only acquired the rights to the planned sequels after the first movie's release.

    I avoid reinstalls as well and one of my systems hasn't had a reinstall since Fedora Core 4. This system actually started on Red Hat Linux 8 (the precursor to Fedora, not RHEL). It…

    Yeah, I've been using Gnus for more than 25 years, although I now use mbsync to download e-mail first. Before that, I used the original GNUS for Usenet and VM for e-mail.

    A Bolt capped at 80% still has way more range than a Leaf and not much less range than a Leaf Plus.

    Not exactly what you asked for but Fedora does package a few extensions [separately] -- uBlock Origin, Noscript, and some others.

    Same here. I couldn't get their discount codes to work this year and the IRA Worksheets seem to be broken now.

    Some TVs deliver features they've promised through updates. My 2018 Sony needed an update to support Dolby Vision. More recent models needed updates for HDMI 2.1 support. There are…

    Yeah, that's why I switched my Fedora systems to Pipewire before it became the default. At some point, Pulseaudio CPU usage went up so much that the fans on even my desktop system …

    Sometimes, the silicon die itself may be "pad-limited", ie. the minimum size is determined by the number of I/O pads on the die, which have their own spacing requirements.

    I switched from Dyn to Namecheap (who is the registrar for my family domain) for their free DNS service. No issues but we really only use it for e-mail.
