You don't have to throw out your whole PC. Could you have waited for the next time you upgraded and thought about it then? Maybe if it's a desktop swapped out the GPU and kept the rest of the components? It wasn't even clear

It works fine on plenty of normal PC builds, just not EVERY PC build.

So you made zero effort got it. Try running PC-DOS on there instead. Should work fine with a "perfectly normal PC", everything should just "work".

It is painless on hardware that's compatible. Nvidia issues are well known too. It's like you running Windows 7 on a PC designed with Windows 11 in mind and expecting a good time. If you wanted a good Windows 7 experience you&#x27

Nvidia graphics? How much care did you take in getting a machine for running Linux? Did you get one specifically with that in mind? Or did you slap it on the machine you already had?

Doesn't even need to fit in the slot either. One of my Surface Pens is an older one that uses a AAAA battery and doesn't fit in the keyboard slot. It works just fine on my SP11 and older SPX. It just has less features and isn&#x27

Sometimes they are just impossible to use. For example I could not hit the button to use Steam Guard in the Steam app to log in on one device. The screen was just too small for what the app expected.

Some have no DRM, like Baen, most Humble Bundles and J-novel club. Most books on Kobo/Google Play have DRM but it's really really easy to remove.

Kobo, Google Play Books, smaller niche sites like Baen, Humble Bundle, J-novel club, etc.

Just buy a Kobo. You can get a new one, you don't have to jailbreak it to run Koreader, it already actually ePubs out of the box, they don't have as aggressive DRM either. And the hardware is good.

Yes, just copy the zip over like the instructions say.

You ABSOLUTELY do not have to create a recovery drive from a Snapdragon based device. I've done it multiple times from x64 Windows for both a SPX and 11.

I thought it was playable on the LCD Deck. I did turn things down below what the Steam Deck preset was at. It certainly wasn't the smoothest 100% of the time but it was better than Fallout New Vegas on a PS3 IMO. It still holds up pret

Nope. Just more selfish choices. Resources are finite. The further we can move away from cars, THE better for kids. Less risk of them being run over by a 7 foot tall Dodge Ram, more chances for independence because actually going places doe

That's true! But it's also true that any program dealing with floats can run into numerical instability if care isn't taken to avoid it, no? It's also not necessarily immediately obvious that the derivatives ARE wrong if

by goosedragons 1y ago
It can be both. A mistake in AD primitives can lead to theoretically incorrect derivatives. With the system I use I have run into a few scenarios where edge cases aren't totally covered leading to the wrong result. I have also run into

You can still use the old Sysv init on modern distros if you want. KDE3 is sorta still around (TrinityDE), ditto Gnome 2 (MATE).

Why exactly? Are you just using the USB A port for a mouse on the PC but not Mac? That's the only sensible thing I can think of. Personally I'd rather use a USB C hub anyways. I don't want to plug in more than a cable if I do

What I'd want is hiragana or readings for characters.

I have one of the newer lowend Razrs. It wasn't that expensive, less than a base model iPhone and it actually helps me use my phone less because it takes intention to actually open it.

This was one of the things I realized living in a very car friendly city without a car. SO SO MUCH of my walking was just walking past/through GIANT parking lots.

What firmware do you have your Nova 2? The stock notes app has zoom as of 2024-01-03 at least. Not sure when that was added.

Mobile System GB. For both GBC/GBA. Didn't let you download games, but content/features for some games.

I don't think they came out later. They existed in the spec from the beginning and some very early long movies were a single disc (e.g., Titanic). Some movies still needed flipping or two discs, like Gone with the Wind but it's ju

Yes, firmware on the Advantage 2 (what I have) does allow some QMK type stuff like mod-tap. They call it "tap and hold". It's more limited than QMK from my understanding (e.g., only 1 layer, tap and hold only on certain keys)

Nah dawg. I was a practiced touch typist for years. We had oodles of typing in elementary school. Pain in my pinkies didn't get better. Only worse because keys like {}| are far more important in programming than writing English and add

Popeye introduced a character named "Eugene the Jeep" in 1936. Could have also been the origin of Jeep for the vehicle.

The Xbox breakaway controller cables weren't magnetic. They also could have easily put those on normal USB cables because they were a couple inches from the port anyways.

Lightning was pretty limited. Third party companies either had to be blessed by Apple or clone them some how. For some accessories like video out this was a big limitation.
