We actually have this. Obviously not this particular font. My family were all printers and I've sort of inherited a huge cabinet full of old school typefaces all carved out of some special kind of hard wood - pear wood - all over 100 y

Lineage on a Xiaomi redmi 10 pro, everything working perfectly (also dual SIM and SD card + headphone jack) get about 2 days battery life. Though it's quite old now so I've no idea if it is as good as a OP5 or not lol Running htt

I simply don't trust publicly traded companies these days. I genuinely can't think of an example where a private company in the tech space has become better since going public. I don't like to MBA bash, but it large tech comp

You cannot, not without hacking (speakers) Bluetooth audio is fine though, and I've not tried the headphone jack

You're not wrong...but it will get there and get better. I believe asahi will be a driving force behind it, and arm in general being more widely used for non mobile device stuff....however (despite using fedora on arm64 as a daily driv

i've had the same experience tbh, 7/13/30 on ryzen (local) and intel (server) both on rhel/centos. It's a shame really

massive YMMV moment for me. my particular usecase was "extract the following attributes from a load of unstructured text, format the results as JSON". ChatGPT was the best (but only on 4 and Davinci), Vicuna just didn't perfo

Ha, this is funny. I did exactly the same thing a few months ago, am now on fedora with KDE plasma (which finally added their version of fancyzones ( https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/fancyzon

I'm willing to bet that if someone can social engineer their support staff into opening a console from their corp address, yes (in a way lol)

To actually answer your question and not bow to the HN-is-reddit comment above: London draws on Kent/other surrounding areas temporarily... big cities (usually) feed into small ones. This (usually) is how it works. In the case of COVID

Sorry, but this is just wrong. There is absolutely no way that an average wait time - usually 7 minutes - for a cat 1 call will be 48 hours. Unless someone made a heinous mistake and somehow forgot a call one time, it never "on occasio

Agreed, if anyone wants some good insight, this video is fantastic. It gets to the tech stuff about 20 mins in iirc and explains some quite surprisingly open aspects of the apple ecosystem and some approaches to funky stuff with the closed

Never agreed with something so much more in my life. Points 1-3 in particular. I understand their logic of not wanting to "pollute" the core products with these features.... but it's sort of past the point now where you'

with all due respect, youve now just basically told an entire anonymous message board that someone in your family is/was related to the security services. This is basically the example why you dont tell people this stuff. The entire ar

Another annoying thing about this wrt them discouraging it, you need a Microsoft professional/enterprise account (I forget what they call it) to see the sha256 hashes, which they used to make publicly available until a few years ago

I'd recommend Ubuntu also. However I can't stand their default desktop environment, so I'd either recommend Ubuntu mate, or (what I did) the latest and greatest Ubuntu, and then just sudo apt-get install cinnamon-desktop-envi

I've worked in a lot of Europe and spent a lot of time working in all over the US too. I genuinely believe that it's down to the person. Personally, i'd stay in Europe, but one of my good friends (who did the same route) set

I get what you're saying, but in my mind with regulation like people are calling for, I wouldn't even have had the chance to make a living like that in the first place. To me, regulation means something like "you need a certi

How would you propose to regulate it out of interest? As someone who pretty much lives on investment these days (vanilla stocks, no crypto, no options) with no formal training in the area I'm quite keen to hear why I should have to ret

It's funny you mention tiling because honestly one of the biggest things preventing me from moving to linux full time is the lack of any decent window manager like https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powe

I'm sorry but this article is bullshit. Go and actually check the train prices (because I did) now. Book Sheffield to London 1 month in advance, comes out to £70 odd return (nearly 4x more than article states) with a first class upgrad

It makes me the opposite. I hate the idea of Facebook and the damage it's fine, and I don't have an account. That being said Facebook has done some absolutely amazing open source projects (rocksdb, open hardware) and papers detail

It's a bit shit that they had to jump through so many hoops, with HN being the only one that actually worked (after 7 hours) in order to get in touch. Serious kudos to you for helping them but I know a lot of people who wouldn't t

How does seekstorm perform on large documents? Say documents 1MB-10MB in size, are you able to search entire docs or just paragraphs within the doc?

940/35 and advertising that at 1gbps is part of the bs that needs to change worldwide. Either make a law it has to be a full duplex 1gbps connection, or a cap that the upload has to be at least 1/3, 1/2 (anything but 1/1
