ESP32 is a great SOC. Watch out for RAM issues though. I have an e-reader using an ESP32 that only has 180kb or so of usable RAM which makes things very difficult to work with. You will need to specify that it has to be the versions that ha

The current "too dangerous" hype today is Anthropic's Mythos. They say it is so mighty that they will wall it off and only grant access to approved corporations.

I agree many meetings could be an email. Look at it this way though, this site is low-key a CV portfolio piece because he isn't just writing about dithering, he's demonstrating that he can research, analyze and then both code and

If it supported it, 100 Hz paired with a mouse set for 200 Hz was nice and smooth.

The Croscore fonts ARE the Liberation fonts, just renamed. I keep both for naming compatibility and also because the 1.0 Liberation versions had truetype hinting (2.0 and up did not).

They still do. It's the required font for all US Supreme Court legal work.

Have you tried eye-patching as a therapy to train the non-dominant eye?

As a lay person who likes to look at fonts closely, the purpose they are intended for matters. I don't like the Atkinson font for body text because I find it too round. For a transit sign I suppose it is fine since it would be printed

I don't like newer codecs like AV1. I find them blurrier. Perhaps the bitrate is too low, but they do seem blurrier compared to h264. Even VP09 has often seemed better. h264 is a very good codec.

Another example of why Android is better for this use case. With Firefox for Android you can install an extension to force h264 from YouTube and the problem is solved. With iPhone, you cannot. You must buy a new device when you need a featu

China and India are two-thirds of the human race. With population numbers like those, this is large scale adoption.. just not in our market.

I hope the watchdog wins. Amazon already compresses the bitrate so much on the video, it really wasn't very nice when they decided that subscribers also now had to receive ads on top of that. And not even the nice Cerveza Cristal kind

In North America, the problem is other than the fact they didn't allow dimming lights for whatever reason, they made a separate regulation for LED lights compared to the old incandescent lights. The old light regulation actually had a

Those flashing lights aren't even road legal in Germany. I never set mine to flash and I'm not in Germany. I believe flashing lights are actually less safe as it encourages the driver to look AWAY from you. I certainly don't

I run OpenWRT on my TP-Link and have been happy with it. The radio sounds much like Intel's ME. I think we all know there's a problem, but we don't have the power to do anything about it because what alternative is there? Anc

Be careful. Not only are you at risk of being the permanent tech support guy, but if something goes wrong somewhere, sometime, it's your fault because you endorsed the product.

My usage of KDE today is on the Steam Deck. I actually did take the time to set it up to look nice. I have three observations to make. 1) There is a pain point in KDE involving windows on top of another fullscreen window. Specifically, the

The Seneca isn't using rubber dome switches as the wording implies, it's using capacitive switches (like some HHKs) which includes a rubber dome as part of the component. It is not the same kind of switch as you would find on free

You are trusting them. They control the client, how the keys are created/stored, etc. Javascript, etc. If they were to suddenly turn one day, they could. This is the weakness of cloud services.

I booted into my 7 partition the other day because for whatever reason my frayed 10 partition wouldn't let me run an offline defender scan. My suggestion is, install Microsoft Security Essentials (you can get a copy of the installer ou

I wonder how it would do with the djvu codec which tends to have been used specifically for archiving documents. I suppose it is best applied at source if the physical material is at hand. Might still be worth taking a look at as an experim

In an era of offshoring, outsourcing, automation and now uncontrolled mass migration from incompatible cultures into the west, it is undeniable there are problems. Arch-capitalists push for these things in order to reduce cost as much as th

Just like bots trawl the web to train AIs with, why would using different code sites be any different? If it's visible, they will still show up and scarf down the code for training material.. So, given that this will happen everywhere,

Some of the Samsung apps are better than alternatives. Google is not the best at everything.

This is OK for me because I use these with full (or medium) hinting and anti-aliasing off in some apps, and greyscale anti-aliasing in other apps with the v35 interpreter. v40 with slight hinting and greyscale or subpixel works, but I don&#

I don't think there will be one, a company would need to commit to salaried devs. What would the value-added proposition be for them that they can't get by using any other distro out there?

$150B is pretty cheap if it comes with ready-to-go chip fabs.

Yes, and the different browsers on iOS are all actually just skins on top of Safari's WebKit.

For me, I like being able to set a default font/size/colour for all websites as an override. Chromium browsers don't do that out of the box. I like that it quarantines most of Facebook's shenanigans with cookies and the
