I was curious (but also lazy) so I went and checked Wikipedia. According to that source, the newest model of Ford F-150 is the fourteenth generation one, so let's look at the numbe…

The Philip K. Dick short story was a direct inspiration for the Paul Verhoeven movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, as it happens.

No, that's probably the correct link, but jwz doesn't like the HN crowd and filters for referers.

I too was expecting the equivalent of a schema builder for model railroad layouts.

Protectil VP2420 here.

Or you could be a nerd of the 1990s and be permanently stuck on the Rotating Cube effect.

Can confirm that I experienced a similar problem with my DIY order, and I reviewed my selections multiple times to check that I had in fact selected everything that needed to be se…

OpenBSD's mascot is a pufferfish. If you're talking about the image at https://www.openbsd.org/71.html , that's a pufferfish on a surfboard under a curling ocean wave. Where are yo…

Stock AT&T SIM. Been using it for over a year, has never not worked, but based on what I see online YMMV.

Found another greybeard Mac user! I learned this trick under System 6 and used it religiously until just recently. (My clock keeps perfect time, but seconds don't update, under MAT…

I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but I use the system76-power extension ( https://github.com/pop-os/system76-power ) to toggle between the integrated Intel Xe unit …

I don't really care so much about half-height left and right keys versus full-height ones, but I've discovered that what I really hate is when half-height PgUp and PgDn keys are on…

In my experience there's been an inexorable decline in Google search result quality over the past few years (not to mention a corresponding increase in reports of tracking and priv…

Some of them were rare even when they were new; I have a Radius 81/110 in my basement, built by a company that was in the Mac clone business for about three and half minutes. Not e…

I responded in more detail elsewhere because I hadn't seen your comment yet, but you're not imagining things.

Eh, I don't know if you can exclusively blame Apple for this one. I've observed the same behavior in the MATE environmment, both on Fedora and Pop! OS. I'd install Teams, it would …

Plugging 'Jollo' into Wikipedia gets me a page about a defunct machine translation engine. This reads exactly like a simple license that went through several rounds of machine tran…

Long ago, Ambrosia Software had a booth at one of the major tech conferences. Contests, trivia questions, t-shirts to win, the usual. Also, they were at the end of a major push to …

You're correct, it was in 'Count Zero'.

I had no luck getting Signal for Android working in Anbox (too crashy). There are unofficial ports of Signal Desktop to aarch64 available here and there online, and there's also so…

I tried using Mobian as a daily driver, and found it usable but not necessarily ideal. Audio calls were comprehensible but sounded tinny, and people I was calling complained of an …
