> As far as I know, this is how CSGO runs on vulkan: valve did package the game with the DX(11?12?)->vulkan translater. CSGO has a builtin DX to OpenGL translation layer. They're n…

It's blocked by default but my ISP lets me open it. But as noted by NavinF I'm not using it anyway.

The topic often comes up. Can't say I share the experience. My servers have never been put on a blacklist in the 7 years they've been running, and one of them operates from my resi…

On default configs, what did the trick for me was disabling all telemetry, then restart Firefox. Works on Windows and Linux.

French Brittany, was sunbathing this morning at 10:00 at 15°C on the beach, with bees flying around. These are summer temperatures, and even in summer it's usually colder than that…

This usually doesn't work because of HDCP, and you'd have to reencode the video stream, sacrificing quality. Removing DRMs is a lot cleaner.

At 6 cents/SMS, I find Twilio and similar services way too expensive. Compare that to the unlimited SMS plan that I can get for 2€/month here in France, and setting up a gateway li…

Yes, but those are all non problems for anyone remotely tech-savvy. The point is, DRMs are hurting paying customers and do not even make it more difficult for pirates: when you dow…

Ignoring cost, there's two things preventing me from watching content legally in acceptable quality: DRMs and connection speed. The day streaming providers allow downloading high q…

You can use a demultiplexer to turn e.g. 4 pins into 16 chip select. But the fact that the number of wires has to grow at all to accomodate additional devices is certainly a big do…

And I'm currently working with the INA229, its SPI cousin I guess :) Those chips are really nice, I'm trying to use the alert feature as a configurable overcurrent trip protection,…

What sucks the most about I2C for me is the fact that the bus can get stuck if the master device resets during a transmission. In which case the slave device will keep the SDA line…

I find Wayland is great already for my usage, and has been for the last two years. If Xorg works for you and Wayland doesn't, that's perfectly fine too.

Sorry you're right. I thought parent was refering to accelerated drawing, not decoding. That said, for my use case, this is all I need on a work laptop. My desktop CPU doesn't brea…

There is in Firefox, but you have to force it via about:config because it's disabled by default.

Maybe he was refering to Panurge's sheeps .. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panurge )

I have a Zoe, the noise is soft and stops above 30 km/h. I can turn it off with a switch if I want to. I've already noticed people being surprised when I pass them without the nois…

I think it's a bit overkill to use a full Chromium runtime to display a black window with monospace text.

I was wondering if it was possible to sign emails on the mail server instead of configuring each client individually. Also annoying is the fact that some clients seem to alter the …
