For some replacement computer parts and other such items shipped via FedEx to a certain remote location, all packages came with a coating of dust. Like wash your hands after receiving harddrive box, and then wash again after cutting the box

I'd like to know this too-- my music player has a few different rendering options for one on screen view, GDI has always used fewer gpu and cpu resources than direct2d and direct3d in 7 and 10 so far?

Yeah, IRC shows it's age, but it's easy to get connected and talking, no phone number verification or required account creation, or other byzantine verification process.

There are drying oils and non-drying oils. Drying oils are what you want to put on your cast iron pan to polymerize the oil into a coating. Tung oil would be a bad choice for chain lubricant because it will gum up, but castor oil should be

Mazda and BMW have had something like this in some of their cars for years now. It's been a pleasant experience in the few cars I've used that had that kind of setup.

And even better, you can just go into system preferences and turn off what you don't want! At one point I had a newish version of OS X spotlight pared down to be about as functional as the Windows 7 start menu Search. If I had wanted c

It's a terrible idea to me! Like sure, I know the devs want to do the minimum of work, but that doesn't make it a good idea to take the easy way out.

To do math, I may literally visualize the numbers in my head, like an extra piece of paper I can manipulate numbers on, but it's not literal paper so it doesn't have to conform to annoying IRL properties like fixed transparency an

If your wood frame house has been on fire on the inside long enough to scorch a wood frame through the drywall or damage the drywall itself, concrete construction isn't gonna be much better for you the owner/resident. If a Califor

A sub-10 mile ambulance trip can easily cost $1000 US if it's not covered by insurance. If you're already barely eeking out a living working paycheck to paycheck, that might be a bit too much to manage. America does not have much

I guess it depends greatly on what version of bash and such, but with something recent, trying to execute the script will escape the problem characters when printing if it prints the interpreter name at all, and possibly also say 'bad

As an end user, I care more about code quality and stability than I do speed of shipping code. I don't want to use some buggy code that was pushed through production too quickly just because the devs are lazy!

I bought a pair of AKG k171's a while ago. They've taken everything without issue. The insulation on the cable got damaged a bit too much for my tastes after a few years, so I bought a new one. Nothing wrong with that investment,

That does not at all sound normal. A stable system (linpack and furmark at the same time stable) shouldn't do that. It's not impossible for that to be a BIOS/EFI issue. Personally my 2060super with Debian stable has been a su

The effects of costco and walmart's behavior is largely contained within their own retail space. Amazon.com has no such constraint. I think my answer is yesno. It isn't about the action of making and selling the competing products

Which for whatever reasons doesn't really work very well. You can request that the region be different, but it doesn't seem that the setting is uniformly respected or doesn't work in a useful way. I ran into this when I was s

It's kinda implied when you hear 'fully vaccinated people do not require a mask'. I think that it's a bit of a stretch to come to the conclusion that that implies the vaccine is a magic bullet, but I have been surprised

I don't like fullscreen applications. I don't like tiling window managers. I have large screens so I can see more and do more not less. The last thing I want is full screen.

I think the catch is that if you installed chrome and use it, you won't see those prompts, and if Microsoft changed teh default away from chrome against your wishes, you probably do want to be notified of the change. I can opt out of g

I would expect SOME vehicles to do so just fine. Really hot weather in the Continental USA can be pretty toasty, and if a garage was designed more like a crummy solar furnace, I would expect to see it hit those temperatures. My car has surv
