Based on how we see so many 'OS in the Browser' links here on HN, am I right to be underwhelmed by this one?

Agreed. I feel sorry for Sten, not the company or the other employees. That said, even as shortly back in the 90s, mental illness was still ridiculed and something to be ashamed of, at least we've made progress in that area these days.

The dungeon generation shown is the same as Brian Sawyer's 'Dungeon' game from 1979: http://crpgaddict.blogspot.com/2013/02/game-85-dungeon-1979.... Not sure if Brian Sawyer is the original designer

This one... http://www.roysac.com/asciinudes/default.html#Joan ...is the all time classic. Every time I logged onto a new mainframe/DEC-VAX system, it'd be sitting in a folder somewhere. I even had a persona

Unless you have a Android Blackberry device (KeyOne or Key2 etc) the free version of the hub is feature restricted, so you have to pay (an ongoing sub) to get the full Hub experience.

The main problem is that a lot of sites no longer show a link to their RSS feeds, or include a meta tag for it. So I've resorted to trying the following until the RSS reed comes up: example.com/feed example.com/feed.xml

I tried this, but my work uses MS Teams, which doesn't honour do-not-disturb. When you set DnD on, the app STILL flashes it's taskbar icon, creating a distraction. The only way around it is to mute all the noisy teams channels, an

As much as I love HN, it is an echo chamber on some topics. Also sometimes people are too afraid to post a contrary opinion for fear of getting voted down to oblivion, as such some threads just become full of 'me-too' type comme

Thanks for the offer but... I know there's torrents of the whole lot out there, but for me part of the enjoyment is buying the discs (at a slow pace, due to budget), ripping them, and watching them.

I'm now using ffmpeg to transcode 'acquired' h265 media to h264 for my Pi. It would be nice if a future Pi could support h265.

In Kodi's settings you can specify a lower resolution for the menus. Not sure if that changes the controls overlay during playback though.

My Kodi set-up is a few-years-old copy of LibreELEC[1] set to NOT auto update. I've barely configured it beyond giving the SMB paths to my video collection. I ignore all the meta-data rubbish it wants to add, and just browse to what I

I do. My desktop PC (running Windows 10) goes black, and then floats a nice digital clock and date around the screen in white. It does this for about 5 minutes, and then my monitor goes to sleep. It's a nice transition between the two

On Chrome (Windows) the box frames at the bottom are no right-aligned either. Have you thought about using <canvas> and just writing OEM DOS style characters where they need to be like some sort of obscene franken-video-buffer?

Adding my voice to this one. I think a lot of work 'normal people' i.e. the PMs the non-technical management, the sales people etc. really don't get how we techies work. Because they have to do 'active' work all da

it's a link buried inside a lot of the bundled utilities in Windows. It forces URLs to use Edge as the browser instead of your chosen default one. Windows 11 has a news & weather popup widget that sits down by the clock, in which y
