I feel that the smartphone connectivity feature is a departure from the philosophy of the F-91W. Is having a smartphone for "Easy watch setting" not a flaw of the watch, rather than a feature? I'd love if it was radio control

A few weeks ago, I reported a compilation video of ICE officers beating people. The description included the phrase "The deportations will continue :)". I reported it for promoting violence, but TikTok found no violation of its gu

I used BareMetal and Pure64 as a source of inspiration and knowledge while writing an OS as a student. It is simple and well written. I miss the days of reading AMD64 manuals and directly interacting with my hardware through assembly, and I

Woah! It is the same guy that got me through my algorithms course at university with his youtube MIT OpenCourseWare videos! His lectures are absolute gold. He explains everything so clearly, simply, and efficiently. I started skipping lectu

Interesting. Personally, I find IRC incredible frustrating exactly because I can't easily see the history and continue conversations. I usually connect to IRC channels through a browser client or a desktop app, but all too often, my br

I use Nextcloud hosted on Hetzner. It is pretty cheap and supports almost all systems I can think of. It feels a bit sluggish at times (slow sync, apps can be buggy), but I'm pretty happy with it. Oh and the mobile app has a decent edi

I have been writing a journal for about 6 years now. I usually write 3 entries a week spanning from a few sentences to hundreds of words. Personally, I feel there are many benefits to it, mainly: 1. It gives me time to think, to process my

I am incredibly annoyed by slow websites. I noticed that I have started using my browser in a very asynchronous way where I open multiple tabs, do a single action, and move to the next one. When I get to my last tab, the first is hopefully

If this really lets me block certain websites for good, then I'm sold. I absolutely hate those sites that scrape other well-known sites (like StackOverflow, Quora, Reddit) and add ads and SEO spam. They are increasingly better at being

I completely agree, typing on 3310 was much more fun. I absolutely hate typing more than 3 words on my iPhone. Not only are the keys too small for my large-ish fingers, but regularly typing in 3-4 languages completely messes up my finger-me

Living in Europe, I couldn't believe that if I wanted to unsubscribe to New York Times, I would need to call one of their hotlines which operated in US time-zones. IIRC the open hours were after midnight in my timezone, and their local

One of my very first PC games was the Lego Racer 2. Although the racing was not as good as in the first game, it still had some interesting elements. I was completely blown away that I could build my own car and race in it. Furthermore, you

I drew a beautiful sea turtle; I was sure it was going to guess it! But no, it couldn't. Then I checked the training set, and it was full of tortoises... I guess they should check their training set :P

I do not quite understand how the guys in the simulation can determine which level they are at. If L1 universe interferes with L2, will the guys in L2 see the divergence in L3? How do they determine their own level? Fantastic story. Will re

Not being able to select your own hardware for a job is perhaps one of my worst experiences to date. At one company, I was handed laptop with an older version of Windows, preinstalled bloatware, 3rd party encryption software, anti-virus, VP

I think this is spot on, at least for me personally. I am not very good at mathematics, so I never questioned my professors when they said that "You cannot treat infinites as regular numbers". Perhaps due to that statement, I did

I used to have an ASUS EEE PC from about 2010 (I think it was 1215P). It was an incredible machine -- it was cheap for a student, fairly powerful for internet browsing, text editing, and a bit of coding. The battery easily lasted over 6 hou

I can also highly recommend the PyBoy[0] project for Game Boy emulation. It is written in Python, has an accompanying report for documentation, and is still being developed. It provides an interesting basis for student projects to work on,

Yes, but even though I myself have created my own Linux distro, I would absolutely not be able to do that with restricted internet access, without access to the guide-books, and without the help of IRC. I suspect this would be the case for

It has always amazed me that North Korea is able to create an OS like Red Star. I assume it takes a lot of knowledge and skill to stitch together such an OS, with fairly "unique" spying features not really seen in other distros. C

I have been on the tipping edge of switching from FF to another browser for a long time now. Short-lived bugs such as this one do not annoy me as much as the terrible performance of FF. It is not rare that FF uses 2 cores at full utilizatio
