Custom Video Card firmware has been around a long time. It was possible to convert PC video cards to Mac use by flashing them. When I was faffing around with PPC64 Macs (I mean hey I got it for free) I picked up an ATI card on ebay that had

It's stupid from a practical perspective but the energy required to build up the uterine lining and tear it down on a (basically-)monthly basis is much lower than its upkeep

Schism Tracker is based off Impulse Tracker, and as such it isn't a ProTracker successor per se as the user interface is different. It's absolutely a tracker, and absolutely part of the demoscene and quite a capable piece of sof

Honestly by 1995/1996 or so yeah you could find SoundBlaster cards everywhere and anywhere...but if you wanted a GUS you were basically having to plunk down a lot of cash. Maybe SoundBlaster being short was a little earlier? I didn&#x2

As someone who was in the demoscene: FastTracker II was more of a successor to ProTracker on the Amiga than it was a successor to ScreamTracker 3. I say this because I used it for years; if you go by user interface and keyboard shortcuts th

Soft skills, mostly - you just find things that you're weak on (since you know enough to know where you suck) and just work on those.

Last time I opted out at the (edit: TSA) scan, a number of people behind me followed suit. I enjoyed that. I will remember to opt out again.

Can't skip ahead to sections of their content you want to view and instead are forced to watch it in sequence. Either that or can't skip ads, ala legal dvd playback

My thirteen year old PC is holding up fine. I've replaced the disk (condition of me getting it; it was a disused Windows machine), installed Ubuntu, Debian, then Kubuntu, and upgraded the video card, but beyond that...basically as it

You'd have to use this version (not sure if they back-licensed old versions) but MIT would mean you wouldn't have to agree to that draconian licensing.

AIUI (I don't have any of this hardware) SteamOS is really meant for the Steam Deck; while there's "basic support" for the ROG Ally, it's not their focus. Bazzite seems to be quite happy to support everything, and A

As we know or a quick STFW will educate - the "airplane with red dots" refers to the idea that the planes that came back had damage indicated on them with red dots and so the initial idea was that the designers of the planes neede

(Not OP) it's a shorthand to use a company's stock symbol instead of the name, especially if you're worked in the financial industry, where everyone knows what you're talking about or can look it up very quickly.

Seeing such weaknesses and poor execution generally means that a lot of talented folk are choosing not to work at that company.

Correct. With public/private key pairs, encrypting anything with the private key means that you use the public key to decrypt that same thing. This means anyone (as the key is public!) can decrypt the thing. So if you get the public ke

I would say that it's not "new" that presidential power has expanded. That's very new, and every president over my lifetime has expanded it bit by bit. 4547 is just doing so at a much more rapid pace and using obscure la

Flash was one of those things that tried to do too much, and some of its things started being at cross-purposes with each other. The video conflicted with its roots as a vector/animation studio, and that's why Apple famously didn&

Radiators were originally designed to heat more than needed, so you could open the windows. In New York, at least - the standards were never changed to accomodate for closed windows in 1920. Snopes has a rundown. https://www.snop

This is such because the US has a First-Past-the-Post system, which encourages only two parties. Things like Ranked Choice Voting change the dynamics. Some states have implemented this. I think AK & ME.

I/we have the opposite problem. My wife paid extra and got a REAL ID, I resisted. I just got a passport instead (as did she). My wife, when she renewed her DL this time, got a drivers' license stamped "NOT FOR REAL ID PURPOSE

When people we know are getting married ask us for our address, I explicitly reply that we are not to be addressed in that manner (I find it somewhat insulting). I can tell if the couple is doing addressing themselves or if they're hav

My boss and I once justified a visit to one of the Autodesk conferences (which was, in my opinion, quite lavish and expensive) by my getting time with some of their API developers. It was maybe 15 minutes, but it was worth every second.
