Why eInk? The display updates often, that's a perfect choice for Sharp MIP displays. Also: Please use a fixed-width font for numbers. Seeing the values wobble around looks like a generic website, not like a serious product.

No, it can do whatever it wants. Just don't leak resources!

Don't worry. Once IT Security discovers that they miss their trusty endpoint security products on your Mac, they'll add it and you'll be in the same ballpark as the Windows machine. Been there, received that, and learnt that

"USB data blocker" on AliExpress yields you very small adapters that enable you to run USB-PD, but block the data lines.

I tried to read this, and what the tool works, but this is so much text with little context. Looks like AI fluff. It sounds pretty straight-forward, so this should be a single page with a few paragraphs only.

Interfaces are persistent in Windows, that's why they get assigned such silly names as "LAN interface (42)". If the mapping between the logical and physical interfaces changes, that probably means that your NICs lack proper I

The trick about documentation is depth, not prose. You need context and understanding to write documentation "like in the old days". No amount of LLM trickery will free you from that. Once you have that source material, it's

It's sad to see Xtensa go. Their architecture was a clean design, a treat to read the assembly code. I get it, RISC-V comes without licensing costs, but that's one of the few positive things about it. For a fresh start, it is just

Well, salt may be less volume than brine. But the demand for table salt is pretty limited. Thus: Why pay for its disposal when you can discharge brine for free?

Great! Brings a bit more dynamic into the market. So far, I'm happy with DxO, but I also don't need to manage a library. I don't know, does Resolve have lens corrections for 100+ lenses built-in? That's the thing that Dx

I think it's more people being fascinated by this curious architectural detail. I imagine it's fascinating to people who are not exposed to the intricate details of computer architecture, which I assume is the vast majority here.

Does anybody else's fingers also tingle like this is written by an AI? The formatting is strangely inconsistent, highlighting only some numbers and some variables in fixed-width font. Also there's odd statements like that the refe

All of this works much worse on macOS: Scaling sucks, as it's integer-upscaled rendering + fractional downscaling in a shader. Windows can't span screens either. On Windows, the window will adapt as you move its center of gravity

If people make extraordinary claims, I expect extraordinary proofs… Also, there is nothing complex in a C compiler. As students we built these things as toy projects at uni, without any knowledge of software development practices. Yet, to b

Completely agreed. I sit in dismay, remembering the Microsoft I frowned upon back in the days as a Linux/FreeBSD user. But at least their software was accessible via keyboard and their translations were really good. Fast forward to now

Something to hack, but I don't see how to easily type braces and parentheses. Looks like a non-starter to me because for me, I hack by writing in languages that require parentheses.

The problem is not only the DAW support, but the support of low-latency audio interfaces in Linux. Audio interface makers rarely create a Linux driver, and a low-latency setup on Linux is its own hell, with real-time kernel patches. On MacO

Thing is: That's your preference and nobody should force you to use these indicators. Even on Windows, the tray icons are usually mostly hidden away. I find them highly useful on macOS, but there I lack the configurability I have on Wi

Well, it's a bold hypothesis that a household washing machine should sterilise clothes. It's a machine to reduce the load of microorganisms to a manageable level and to remove dirt, fat, and odours. I don't get how the autho

I think the article misses the point: It's not about how complex the data structures are, it's about the result, in all its details. Comparing different RAW converters (Lightroom, DXO), their image rendering is slightly different.

If it's not a user-space, but a driver issue, I found powercfg /sleepstudy pretty helpful to determine why a W11 machine didn't enter or exited sleep too often, after the fact. On my laptop, this led me to discover that my Qu

The question is: Who is the beneficiary of the app sandbox? Is it you, the user, because no malicious processes can taper with your apps? Or is it the corporations, because they prevent you from modifying their apps – which makes you a pure

Yup, which is why a project that is serious about compilation time splits off type-independent parts into .cpp files that can be compiled separately, improving the speed of compilation for users of that template. I consider being a header-o

NTFS is slow, especially when you operate on a lot of tiny files (nobody in the Windows world would do that, you'd always put your tiny data blobs into a bigger container file, e.g. asset files in games), but from my corporate experien

Well, I consider software liability a good thing. Question is how to achieve this goal. Of course it's sad when a bureaucracy answers this with the only means a bureaucracy has: A box-ticking exercise.

Yep, and AVR-8 has excellent documentation, is easy to learn and I find really fun to work with. Honestly, AVR-8 is the reason I'm really into low-level hardware. If I would have started with amd64, I guess I would have given up long b

In theory, it's easy. But as you see, in practice, it's very difficult because the attacker doesn't have to play by your rules. The attacker can play arbitrary shenanigans, like in this example, glitching only one power rail

The title is wrong. The author glitched the IP block with the one time programmable fuses in conjunction with logic that uses those fuse bits, not the RISC-V cores themselves.
