As much I appreciated the experience of no input latency CRTs they always gave me headaches after some hours due to the refresh rate flicker. LCDs were an immense relief even despite having very noticeable input latency for the same Hz (eg:

The section near the start about the alleged shadow ban on the author's Youtube video poking fun at Google I wasn't really convinced about and imo detracts from the rest of the article which focuses on user criticisms. The author

Mac OS 9 really had a 'personal' feel to it and part of that was thanks to Kaleidoscope. Many authors also designed accompanying icon sets, to complete the look. Japanese authors were responsible for my favorite schemes/icon

It wasn't explained officially. I assume some distribution arrangement changed but the artists/releases were so varied and from various labels that I can't determine the relationship. I'd bought a handful of releases the

Qobuz removed a range of releases a couple months ago at short notice, including from users' accounts. Hopefully their catalog remains strong as it's about the only online-only store with lossless that has a wide variety of mainst

Wouldn't it be more like $0.07/GB for BDXL? If one got particularly lucky with HDD failure rates perhaps they'd survive running that long in RAID but one would expect some replacements over such a long period. Some other thin

While my comment wasn't about the feasibility of pressed CDs for a mass blackout event but just an example of long-term integrity of existing digital media, it's unfortunate that a forum (MyCE) dedicated to tracking integrity of u

While I think common digital media outlasting analog forms in terms of integrity over long periods of time is unrealistic I do have 40 year old CDs from 1984 that are still bit perfect as of just a couple years ago (verified against online

Looks like their manual driver search model dropdown only goes back to the Turing generation (20 series). Edit: found the Windows driver[1] directly via an online search which covers older models, too. [1] https://www.nvidia.com&

At the OS level LineageOS offers per-app network permissions, which I've used and functions as expected. One quirk from what I understand of this ticket[1] is if there's a proxy set up via a separate internet allowed app it can by

I don't think there's any real way around the fundamental flaw of such systems assuming there's an accurate way to detect generated text, since even motivated cheaters could use their phone to generate the text and just itera

I like the little phone UI showcase above the fold. Reminds me of those Flash-based interactive UI demos that phone makers had on their sites back in the early 00s.

The 3G and 4G versions of that phone are Android-based, for context.

Yeah Hacker Factor's multi-post critiques are where I first saw it analyzed. For reference they run the popular fotoforensics.com image analysis site. They also have scathing critique (eg [1]) about the Adobe-led C2PA digital provenanc

Brave is an odd one. They've publicly stated[1] they plan to support parts of Manifest v2 for a handful of popular addons (uBlock Origin included) by making limited patches, but they make no promises. It seems Shields was their main fo

An issue is for most sites/services an email has just become a standard authentication method, rather than something that can easily be more unique per account. So any usernames across sites/services that share it identify that us

Just in terms of privacy, it's worth noting that anyone who has uploaded something on IA already has their email address publicly viewable. This isn't something that commonly known (even judging by comments here) but in the public

I saw someone who used two humongous, external watercooling radiators to cool both their GPU and CPU. Apparently these are now available to buy.

I'd add too that often on such sites the range of submitted subjects are broad enough that those voting don't necessarily have domain familiarity or expertise, so when a comment reads like it has a solid argument readers may upvot

For years I used a freeware utility called VistaSwitcher for this. Could similarly customize the hotkey and also allowed changing the Alt-Tab menu to be a quicker-to-parse text based list instead of the giant thumbnails Windows uses by defa

I seem to recall trying Firefox on HaikuOS circa ~2011, though searching around now it seems it was based on an outdated version at the time. Kudos for a modern port project.

Sounds like rsnapshot (rsync with hardlinks and scheduling) but the BackInTime repo doesn't mention any comparison of how it's different, though Timeshift says they're similar. Anyone have experience with BiT vs rsnapshot?
