I was curious (but also lazy) so I went and checked Wikipedia. According to that source, the newest model of Ford F-150 is the fourteenth generation one, so let's look at the numbers for the top-of-the-line Raptor (or what I assume is

The Philip K. Dick short story was a direct inspiration for the Paul Verhoeven movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, as it happens.

No, that's probably the correct link, but jwz doesn't like the HN crowd and filters for referers.

Can confirm that I experienced a similar problem with my DIY order, and I reviewed my selections multiple times to check that I had in fact selected everything that needed to be selectable before giving up and starting again. (I missed out

OpenBSD's mascot is a pufferfish. If you're talking about the image at https://www.openbsd.org/71.html , that's a pufferfish on a surfboard under a curling ocean wave. Where are you getting a Trump vibe?

Stock AT&T SIM. Been using it for over a year, has never not worked, but based on what I see online YMMV.

Found another greybeard Mac user! I learned this trick under System 6 and used it religiously until just recently. (My clock keeps perfect time, but seconds don't update, under MATE Compiz. Go figure.)

I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but I use the system76-power extension ( https://github.com/pop-os/system76-power ) to toggle between the integrated Intel Xe unit and the dedicated Nvidia GeFor

+1 for Redirector. Also useful, for example, if you want to be the one in charge of whether your browser uses the desktop version of Wikipedia rather than the mobile one: https://en.m.wikipedia.org -> https://en.w

That's not the case for me. Firefox 95.0.2 for Linux, using Kagi as my default, and I have neither a Kagi plugin nor an extension installed.

I don't really care so much about half-height left and right keys versus full-height ones, but I've discovered that what I really hate is when half-height PgUp and PgDn keys are on either side of a half-height Up arrow key. This m

In my experience there's been an inexorable decline in Google search result quality over the past few years (not to mention a corresponding increase in reports of tracking and privacy infringements). Having tried a variety of alternati

Some of them were rare even when they were new; I have a Radius 81/110 in my basement, built by a company that was in the Mac clone business for about three and half minutes. Not even sure it could run MkLinux.

I responded in more detail elsewhere because I hadn't seen your comment yet, but you're not imagining things.

Eh, I don't know if you can exclusively blame Apple for this one. I've observed the same behavior in the MATE environmment, both on Fedora and Pop! OS. I'd install Teams, it would autostart on login, I'd remove it from m

Plugging 'Jollo' into Wikipedia gets me a page about a defunct machine translation engine. This reads exactly like a simple license that went through several rounds of machine translation. Making some allowances for usage and spel

Long ago, Ambrosia Software had a booth at one of the major tech conferences. Contests, trivia questions, t-shirts to win, the usual. Also, they were at the end of a major push to fix bugs in their games, and to celebrate they'd cooked

I had no luck getting Signal for Android working in Anbox (too crashy). There are unofficial ports of Signal Desktop to aarch64 available here and there online, and there's also someone who got some sort of unholy Signal-Matrix hybrid

I tried using Mobian as a daily driver, and found it usable but not necessarily ideal. Audio calls were comprehensible but sounded tinny, and people I was calling complained of an echo. Text messages worked, although I would have preferred

My first exposure to Perl pattern-matching was a magic regex for parsing CGI input handed down to me by a more experienced coder. "Don't ask how this works."

Gather 'round, young 'uns: the 1998-vintage Powerbook G3 "PDQ" officially supported only 192 MB of RAM. Unofficially it was possible, if you bought the right DIMMs, to upgrade it to 512 MB. Which I did, just for laughs.

Counter-anecdote: my Bosch dishwasher lasted barely six years before the impeller motor failed.
