Also shoutout to DPaint.js, which runs in the Browser: https://github.com/steffest/DPaint-js/ (Though I will say that Aseprite has taken over as my preferred Pixel Art editor.)

Depends on how much of the stock is actually available to purchase. If the owners of the company keep 51% (or 50% + 1 share? Whatever it is), then no.

They do have a "Privacy Preserving Ad Measurement" setting that's enabled by default. Just like Firefox, you can opt out of it, but it is opt-out - so same deal as with Firefox. Apple may be a lot better than others, but they

Our Browser options are currently all tied to one of the big AdTech companies: * Safari is owned by Apple * Edge is owned by Microsoft * Chrome is owned by Google * Firefox is partnered with Facebook/Meta I guess technically there&#x27

That would be great, because the RA1/C&C1 remaster collection has been great, so I hope the other games get the same treatment.

Does anyone have a recommendation for an Open Source 2FA OTP app? That's the only thing I use Authy for, to scan the QR Codes into the App and generate the 2FA tokens, but in a way that allows me to migrate to another phone without hav

Same, that was also my lesson that RAID is an availability mechanism, not a data safety/backup one. (Of course, Ransomware would also hammer that point home for many later on)

Big Endian is also called Network Order because some networking protocols use it. And of course, UTF-16 BE is a thing. There is a non-trivial chance that you will have to deal with BE data regardless if your machine is LE or BE.

ESPN's 30-for-30 episode "Broke" is a great watch. It does seem though that newer generation athletes are a bit better educated in that matter since they're better connected online, but that might just be anecdotal.

I'm kinda curious if CRT technology advanced to the point where a TV like that would've been possible at a better weight and price tag? I assume that CRT technology development stopped decades ago, but could we have e.g., replaced

Third Places really took a hit in the pandemic :( But yes, as someone who re-discovered them last year, I absolutely agree.

Good point, the form factor of the regular isn't suited. But I do hope that someone will actually make a laptop shell for it.

With a 4K display and HDR, we can actually do really decent CRT emulation. It seems a bit ridiculous to need 4K/HDR to emulate 40 year old display tech, but you need the resolution to do the aperture grille in a way that's small e

I wouldn't go _that_ far because the case, mouse, and controller are actually really good quality. But yeah, the bundled games are a bit underwhelming and ultimately it's just a Linux/Emulator box. I wish someone would make a

Yeah, I have one, and the keyboard being non-functional is a real bummer. It's a neat mini console (especially once you add some additional games), but I wish they would make a version with a working keyboard, like they made TheC64. Bu

I was considering doing something like that for an Amiga, running AmigaOS 3.2. It's a cute idea, especially once you 3D print a shell that looks like the original (shrunken down). I do think that the lack of an old school floppy drive

What's fascinating is that some of those house rules seemed to have come up independently in places all around the world. For example, the stupid free parking jackpot. (I assume that Hasbro added it to the manual as a house rule at som

One of the reasons I never use Browser extensions either. If it doesn't ship with the browser, it cannot be trusted. NO exceptions.

Will be interesting to see if AMD's Strix Point can perform. Basically, radically beef up the graphics unit in an APU. (Doesn't make it upgradable of course, but could offer a better choice for people that want a gaming laptop tha

(Oh, just realized that "better efficiency" could mean that RDNA 3 can do the office work that RDNA 2 does but with lower power usage. That could be true, though I wonder if that would really be significant savings in any way)
