I use a combination of Adafruit Ampy to copy files, esptool to reflash, picocom for the REPL, and VSCode. Some of those might be redundant and it did take a bit to figure out the syntax. But once that’s determined it’s cake, and all saved i

Not usually but yes at times DT makes sense. And yes there are times when some cannot always afford bigger quantities. But we’re not talking about 50 pound bags at Costco here; The price per pound for a ten pound bag of something at Walmart

They can, but digital passports and ID makes it far easier. Notice that even though government can do it now they are still pushing for these. “It’s for the children” is the siren song of tyranny.

The irony is even though Dollar Tree prices are honest because they all are the same $1.25 (excluding the new “More Choices” $3-5 items) they’re still ripping you off. I always shop on a per-unit basis e.g. dollars per pound or cents per

Fun story: As a kid with only a DOS 3.3 box and no BBS to download another and not much money to buy one, no magazine subscription etc., I accidentally erased our word processor software. I literally only had EDLIN for writing anything. So,

You’re OG. My first was some unknown distro that installed in DOS on my Win95 machine and dual booted that way. Totally confused me. Second was Red Hat 6.0 in 1999. That one, I was a little more successful with.

It surprised me how easy it was to read a law written in 1275. That was the Middle English period, which I usually cannot decipher without help. To be fair though, I haven’t read much from that period.

I sometimes wonder, in a world where the data becomes overwhelmingly AI-generated, if AI starts feeding on itself, a copy of a copy of a copy.

Well you may be partly right. Two weeks after reinstalling Win11 it's exhibiting frequent lockups and audio dying--often on the same day. Clearly some issues were resolved with reinstall (so those were software-caused), but potentially

I have lived in northeast Florida all my life and never saw these until we moved 60 miles to the southeast. Just that little bit of distance and they’re everywhere. Really enjoy watching and hearing them.

Will LineageOS and other similar ROMs have this limitation as well, or will it be baked into the hardware?

I believe we have different definitions of “globalist.” The dictionary says: glob·al·ist /ˈɡlōbəlist/ noun 1.) a person who advocates the administering or planning of a political strategy, economic system, etc. on a global rather

Both parties are globalist TBH. I used to vote Repub but got out 15 years ago, disillusioned by the unapologetic hypocrisy. Would love to see a God-fearing minarchist or libertarian succeed but I know that’s not realistic.

Have any benchmarks been made that use this paper’s definition? I follow the ARC prize and Humanity’s Last Exam, but I don’t know how closely they would map to this paper’s methods. Edit: Probably not, since it was published less than a wee

I cut my teeth on Debian many moons ago. It’s alright, but I’m content with Ubuntu, having run Lubuntu now on my road laptop for a year.

If it were breaking hardware it would persist through the reinstall. But since the day I got it, it’s done this kind of thing about every six months and every time, a reinstall fixes it. For about six months, and then I need to do it again.

I just installed it on my son’s desktop with Cinnamon. It’s good enough for me. It’s the server OS I prefer to use so I’m most familiar with it. And has the same excellent software compatibility as Windows; Most tutorials assume Ubuntu. Oh

I definitely prefer iPhone over Android—-until I need to copy and paste something. Then I just want to throw it out the nearest window. Android does text selection FAR better. Other than that, you can have my iPhone when you take it from my

I’ve been a Linux sysadmin for 25 years but always preferred Windows on my desktop. Reason: Software compatibility. Windows 11 changed that. I have to reinstall it every six months or so due to instability. Last time it happened, multiple m

I worked at an ISP in 1997 (the “You’ve got mail” one) and thankfully the software included a winsock. Our headaches were different; They had just come out with unlimited hours and busy signals were the cause of many complaints. After that

I’ve been following Open Source Ecology for years and they too are moving quite slowly. One part of the website points to a 2014 presentation. I’ve seen very little progress in the last ten years. Sad, because it’s a great idea.

Yeah I came looking for this comment. I’m in Florida, USA where high winds are the norm. A big shingle sitting there not tied down would flip real quick.
