I really loved the Toshiba Radius 12 I had several years ago, with a 2160p display. It very much kicked ass at gaming, too. Toshiba had potential.

Dude has an anti-China boner. Mind you, I agree that their gov spying on us through Tiktok is a problem. He'd still rather focus on an app. 150,000 dead Americans seems to have slipped his mind.

My naive understanding is ARM devices traditionally use a static, unchanging "device tree" specification to bring up hardware on boot. There's a project for implementing UEFI firmware for the Raspberry Pi - as one ARM device

To me it seems like we're just trying to navigate a way to a post-scarcity society with the least amount of backlash/damage. We could give people money, or we could say "up to so many kilowatt/hours this is free" or

I don't like this but if a corporation is a person, they have the same right to it that the rest of the public has. If the effort to USGS could be quantified in a cost, I'd expect Google to pay USGS to make the public data availab

Counters are something I've become more familiar when logging from GPU drivers.

I apologize, I didn't see the amendment. I did respond out of anger from the encryption standpoint. I still don't like that for a number of other reasons safe harbor can be tossed aside

I know sometimes they use weight to detect if the right item is in the box. I would still expect a visual check though.

I agree with this guy. You feel the bar is being set very low. The hard part of your job is working within the established environment (the technical debt?). You're choosing to put the effort in 1 day a week because you're compa

If it has any chance of passing, it could very much cripple the tech sector in the US and make us less competitive. On the other side of the coin, this is not going to stop individuals from using encryption that isn't broken. It would

Often the TV is mounted on the wall above the desk I am working at. So you sit on the bed with your laptop instead and use Miracast and a Microsoft Wireless Display adapter (nice) - but looking near and far is painful as your eyes refocus.

I used to know of a search engine that supported a bunch of added functionality for searching some selected popular sites. Like "wp whatever" would search just Wikipedia. It supported many man little command shortcuts. It was po

I am odd. On Windows I use 2x scaling on a 4k screen. On Linux I go unscaled and just bump up the text size in editors and GTK/Qt apps.

I'm often working out of a hotel and my laptop screen is my only screen. I can use the hotel TV but it's painful looking up-down-up-down. I can carry a portable external monitor but that becomes unmanageable when I need to pack

That is the best news I've heard all month! Thank you!

I want too much. I need a 4k oled display and I'd buy AMD so fast.

Org charts are pretty common in my workplace. I wonder what facilities are available to Microsoft employees to discover people outside their teams when seeking assistance or niche experience. You can see a “who reports to who” in Outlook on

I think a lot of us turn to computers because at a young age The Social (tm) was hard. Some are very lucky to have a group of friends or coworkers they feel comfortable programming with.

What data is being lifted out to ArcGIS? Could you give some examples? Do you have GPS units on your racks or something? I've never used ArcGIS at a very small scale like a building. Are these static maps or dynamic webapps publish

SVG has the concept of re-usable components. Maybe in 10 years we can replace HTML with SVG. hides I'm sure that would make it much, much harder for people with accessible needs.

I don't believe I would be productive on a livestream. That said, I think it would be like exercising a muscle I neglect - similar to the physical exercise I don't do :) I'd probably grow as a programmer if I were more comf

Lightbulb: GUI applications traditionally exchange data between each other (like CLI piping) by saving to disk or offering data via a drag and drop protocol. I wonder if there would be value in having an application that visually allows y

There are things in here I had not considered before. I often abstract away to make something "easier for me" to think about, but I rarely consider "what is likely to change" and hide that behind a layer. Thank you for

Absolutely. The main reason I made a Raspberry Pi cluster was because the community support and pathways previously walked for me were there. It is _difficult_ to start on a less-common SBC. And then when I knew more I found aliexpress an

Thank you very kindly for that. Mozilla would be the best source for stuff like this. :) I had looked on Youtube or on egghead.io and such, but I didn't really find what I wanted. This is an offshoot, separate topic: I wish there we

I wish I could find a practical video/web series on using Devtools. Real-world examples of how to use every feature. I think Chrome probably benefits from better performance in its Devtools, but I do agree that Firefox does just fine.

I mean you could absolutely inspect the source for the page, but these things could be modified at runtime by JS, right? I'm talking about the meta tags. It would be neat to have a toggle on the tab for isolating the content of the pa
