It was a shiny EGA card.
On an 8-bit ISA bus, with a whopping 64kB of VRAM. It could display an amazing 16 colours on one screen.
My friend who had a CGA card was so jelly with his four eye-soaring neon colours.
If we’re talking accelerated graphics, I bought a voodoo 2 with 8mb of RAM which linked up to my ATI Mach 64 2d-card.
I plugged one in today. I left the screws loose. Ironically I moved it between two computers that couldn’t originally do VGA.
I re-organised my leisure desk. My C64 sometimes hooks up to a TFT thanks to my turbo chameleon 64 cartridge.
Today I hooked my C64 up to my CRT instead. I needed that TFT for my Amiga 1200 which has DVI-I out thanks to my indivision flickerfixer. But I have a DVI->VGA adapter to use that same cable.
The theorem holds true. The theorem states that the monkey has infinite time, not just the lifetime of our universe.
That’s just lazy science to change the conditions to make sensational headlines. Bad scientists!
All my troubles seemed so far away?
I’ll keep that secret from her 😅
Three years ago, I bought my wife a laptop with Windows 10 to replace her 10yo windows 7 machine.
It had hardware issues out of the box, and went in on two repairs. It works fine now, AFAIK.
But, she still doesn’t trust it, and she doesn’t think that she can move her Adobe CS6 license over to it…
I even bought her the affinity suite.
I’m starting to think she’ll never move on from Windows 7.
I think the major browsers stopped supporting it sometime during the last year, so my best hope is that some included certificates will eventually make her favourite websites stop working. That has to force her over to something more recent… right?
I use arch, btw.
I was staring at that username for quite a bit after reading the comment saying that it was in their username. I did not get it, either.
Even knowing that there’s a trans flag, and that that’s what is in the username, I wouldn’t know what pronouns to use.
Plenty of options for dual SIM phones here, too.
Which makes it even more convenient to just pop in a local SIM while traveling.
Not so much sailing, but being miserable living on a boat while refitting it on a shoe string budget and no skills. I think this is a suitable entry point to their channel - Wildlings sailing.
What does this next-word suggestion on my keyboard do, you ask? A bit more than welcome back from a lot more of a day and a lot more of a day and I don’t have to be in your room. The same as the only thing you have a year in your life is the same thing I can imagine if I don’t have to be in a bit more than I don’t know how I was in your room. Please can you don’t have to be in the office for a while but I don’t think so but I will be in the office tomorrow. My phone is on the same page as a bit more of a day of the same as you don’t have to be in the house and the kids are not allowed to be in the office.
How are not too much for the only one in your room now so you don’t have a bit more of it when I get to work.
I bought one years ago. Maybe 2018? I think it’s a kindle touch 8th gen, ad-supported. Cost me ~60€, ad-supported. It got jailbroken and KOReader installed. It has stayed offline since, so those ads have long since expired.
It gets the job done. I’ve never been in the amazon e-book ecosystem, and I don’t want to be licensing my books at their mercy.
Standardized firmware isn’t something that’s specified in the ISA, is it? It’s just shitty phone manufacturers.
Asus had some x86 phones a few years back. I haven’t dug into them, but I doubt they had a full bios/efi.
pine64 arm devices have u-boot, while a bootloader does fullfil a subset of the uefi spec.
My desktop, laptop and homelab all synd my important stuff over syncthing. They all do btrfs snapshots three months back in case an oopsie would propagate.
The homelab additionally fetches deduplicated snapshots of my VPS weekly, before syncing all of the above to an encrypted hetzner storage for those burning-down-the-house events.
I need to feel productive. Be it a programming project or woodworking. Just creating something new instead of maintenance like oil changes and mowing the lawn. Creating something new.
Also, take a walk in the forest. Get out on the water. Both are great therapy to disconnect from the mental todo-list of things going on around the house.
My library has a banned book clubs for teenagers.
Books don’t get banned in my country, but they read and discuss books that are banned in other countries.
Also, you can check out a kill-a-watt to monitor your electricity consumption.
I’ve recently switched from Firefox’ vault to bitwarden.
I’d say it works 50% of the time. On desktop Firefox it just doesn’t manage to autofill things some days and I end up copy-pasting my credentials.
On mobile is happy to present me with suggested logins for a page. If I have one, pick or generate one, then it’s all dandy. If I decide I’d rather not, then there’s no way out of that view. I end up force-killing Firefox mobile. Maybe the app works better than the browser extension.
GalliumOS is x86/64 only, and has been deprecated for years. Mainline distros have good support for the Chromebook quirks now.
Cadmium, on the other hand.
Did I misunderstand something about the scenario here?
Wordpress foundation is a non-profit that develops and hosts installation packages and updates.
WPengine is a for-profit company that sells wordpress hosting.
All WPengine installations constantly look for updates and download these from the wordpress foundation. I’d bet they probably rack up half of their bandwidth costs.
WPengine can of course freely use wordpress’ GPLv2 licensed stuff, but it sounds like their leeching of resources was the main pain point.
To either contribute or host their own installation packages sounds like a fair request at the scale WPengine has been operating.
Hetzner, for comparison, sells virtual private servers running Debian. Debian is free, under a similar license as wordpress. Hetzner is a Debian partner and coughs up dough. Hetzner hosts their own mirrors to reduce load on Debian’s repositories.
Be like hetzner. Stroke the hand that feeds, or are least don’t tug at it.
Sounds like a prompt for generative AI to sink its teeth into.
edit: Here’s a starting point if someone with photochop skills wants to bring it to the finish line.
Gee, I can’t imagine why they chose to drop this bomb today.
It’s like they wanted it to be drowned in other news.
