I typically use "pass" for this exact case of having a stub function body (typically to be implemented later)

I believe this is how firefox behaves.

10Gbps mesh for only $48, assuming you already have very modern (expensive) USB4 capable machines. The article also seems to make the assumption that a server would be pulling 1000…

It looks like this link is dead too.

At the time of writing, accessing the link returns a bunch of prometheus metrics... interesting.

I should be clearer - that drive is fake if it's an SSD, it's a normal price for HDDs. Cost per TB of HDD isn't linear, though, it's a bit of a bathtub based on drive capacity and …

That 10TB drive is 100% fake! Amazon is full of fakes. A good rule of thumb right now is $60/TB, significantly less and you're approaching fake territory.

I'm running this laptop (the R5 variant) on Arch w/ i3 and it's been pretty great so far. High DPI screen isn't really a huge deal as long as you set Xft.dpi correctly and change y…

The 'black strip' between enter and backslash is actually just a recessed part of the enter key. It's not a separate plastic piece. Source: typing this on my Framework 13 AMD right…

Installing a tiling WM on macOS (in this case, Yabai) requires disabling system integrity protection. I tried Yabai for a while without disabling SIP (since I can't on my work mach…

Keeping work/private life separate is reason enough to me (also, we don't use Github - we use bitbucket - the decision was made for me!) Ultimately, I think having work-specific ac…

My understanding is that an in-spec USB-C power supply will supply 5V by default - then, upon negotiation with the client, can go up to a higher voltage. In the case of the Zimaboa…

The Zima Blade isn't actually USB-C powered - it's just a USB-C port carrying a raw 12V. No PD negotiation supported. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1bbD1kw334 Honestly, …

I'm not sure I exactly follow your logic - do you think that price is insane(ly high)? or insane(ly low)? If it's high, why would you want to order it when you get laid off?

Thanks for the reply. A quick comment on UX - my laptop is old (see: the aforementioned ancient processor), and these types of menus are extremely inefficient for screen real-estat…

This looks great, but it's using 50% of my CPU (i5-3320M) just for a menu and some visual flair. Not worth it.

I think what he meant was, how do you accept the keyboard prompt if this is the initial keyboard connected to the system? Same goes for mouse. A bit of a chicken and egg problem, u…

Nvidia has no motivation to make a consumer card with lots of VRAM, that's basically the only (relevant) separator between the GeForce family and the Quadro lineup. There are restr…

I wonder why they put '/e/ OS' on this instead of standard AOSP or LineageOS. The UI looks like an attempt to be as close as possible to iOS - but I'd imagine the target market for…

I was able to set up ROCm on my Arch system w/ RX 6600 relatively painlessly, and that was a few months ago. Honestly, I had no idea the support was otherwise this bad (at least, a…

These are exactly the kinds of channels we need more of on YT, I'm glad someone else has also found his channel. I eagerly await more reviews of other USB-C PD chargers, e.g the 65…

I'd imagine more of it has to do with trying to beat every penny of those desperate to get more use of their $15k+ scanner, and less to do with it being a technically complex task.…

When I was learning programming, I had a very experienced friend holding my hand along the way. I felt that this was great for me as a beginner, although sometimes she would way ov…

Yep, you can get it on the higher end trims of the P-series Thinkpads.

Nintendo is infamous for this, not only games specifically but mostly any "works" that relate to their content at all, including YouTube videos and also mods to long extinct games.…
