I've participated in (and now have been a ref for) a robotics competition, First Lego League, a couple of times. The robots can have a height of up to 30.5cm (12"), and that's usually quickly checked before each round. Since

The problem is that apparently, often enough that is just not the case. On laptops, the LED is not powered with the camera, but controlled by it. And on smartphones, if it's a green dot on the display it can obviously be bypassed in di

What are Jack and Jill parties? (DDG only gives me generic listicles for how to plan a wedding shower.)

As described in the README, the combination of root access and locking the bootloader has the caveat that it's easy to brick your boot partition by accidentally making changes to it. That causes the signature check to fail, and then yo

You would spend some time outdoors being active, which is good for you but also entirely possible without killing animals. I'd argue that's the same for meat.

> DP has a HDMI compatibility mode that allows a DP output to output a HDMI signal, but at the wrong voltage. The external adapters are just level shifters to bring the signal voltages into compliance with HDMI, but their entirety passiv

He did make a "sequel" addressing that: https://youtube.com/watch?v=SkL9vzW7nY0 You usually can't do much against anti-repair or anti-consumer stuff alone (especially in organizations), and that people often

I sometimes think about trying keyboard things like this, but I'm pretty much always on the go with my laptop. My desk at home can be described as just the horizontal surface that happens to be near where I sleep and sometimes do othe

You actually can connect two machines via USB-C (USB4 / Thunderbolt) and you get a network connection. You only get Link-Local addresses by default, which I recall as somewhat annoying if you want to use SSH or whatever, but if you hav

AI scrapers aren't a subset of the users/readers/audience of a website, they are parasites to society that harm their prey by causing huge costs.

I suppose they're going for a trade-off between "cheaper" and "satisfying" (as in, the satiafaction of sticking it to unethical shitty companies)

Probably depends on the city, but where I'm from it's difficult (but probably not completely impossible) to get a Döner for 5€ :(

With all else being equal, I'm willing to believe that more intelligence would lead to greater income. But if you're claiming that IQ is the sole/main predictor for income that'd be a hard [citation needed] in my opinion

You only re-export the unchanged parts. EVFILT_AIO is the same in 0.2.0 and 0.2.1 (which is different - in practice and to the compiler - to EVFILT_AIO in 0.3). (Only) c_void is the same in 0.2.0, 0.2.1 and 0.3 (again, in practice and to t

That heavily depends on where you are. I can't speak for everywhere, but in the cities I'm in it's fairly common to cross a red light or a road you're not supposed to cross.

I've been using that one for a long time now. I recall that when I got started with Syncthing (some months to a year or two ago?), it seemed to have been the folk wisdom to use Syncthing-Fork, but I don't recall what the reason wa

Do you mean a video sharing site? Maybe self-hosting PeerTube might be something for you. It's designed with federation (with other instances via ActivityPub) in mind, but the FAQ say that can be disabled. Of course, there probably are

That looks awesome! I was wondering if it requires a 100W PD supply, but according to the manual everything with at least 20W should work.

Genuine question: What makes you believe that an employer would decide to pay you more when they notice that they're paying you less than other companies would? Why wouldn't they just think "Oh, neat, we got such a bargain!&q

I also switched from TST a while ago. I agree with the others that Sidebery feels a good bit more polished. It also has quite a few more features, like panels for bookmarks and closed tabs and, most importantly for me, integrated tab groups

I've had this happen once a few weeks ago, and enabled auto-snapshots, so I think if it happens again I can just restore the most recent one. Also, in the past I've had Firefox crash in some weird way where it lost all my tabs, so

Not directly related to the arrest, but to Durov: His Telegram channel is somewhat odd. It's a mix of what you'd expect (updates / general stuff about Telegram), some slightly weird stuff (highly praising countries he visited

In Germany (/ the EU?) we have electronic ID cards that can be used for a few online services. The physical card can communicate via NFC, and there's a smartphone app you can use with it. For PCs, you can buy some fancy NFC interf
