Android does have support for external keyboards and I know mice work but not the totality of pointing devices. There was a desktop experience with Samsung's DeX, complete with floating windows, but the experience was severely broken d

Game Porting Toolkit isn't a response in this scenario. All advertising for GPTK is aimed squarely at publishers, and even Whiskey has to pull a binary out of a back alley for D3DMetal. Apple is essentially doing nothing and hoping it

Whenever there's community servers, hack v. hack servers are bound to follow. For integral game mechanics? There's almost always a mechanic balancing anything hack adjacent.

Think they really got started after the FDA/ATF started to crack down on Juul, which gained significant popularity over previous designs by focusing on usability and convenience by using a capsule as you have mentioned. Since that poin

There are plenty of people with motor issues where a straw really does mean having the freedom to drink on your own. Also, in the US, ice is more popular to add to your drink and a straw means not getting blasted with a bunch of ice.

You sure? Microsoft dropped Alpha, MIPS, and PowerPC by the time Windows 2000 rolled around. Beyond that point, only the Xbox 360 and Itanium versions had anything different to the usual X86/64 offering.

Even the base integer instructions are Turing complete in RISC-V. Only instruction extensions that could be a point of contention are Matrix operations, as T-Head and Tenstorrent already have their own. Even then, I can't find a reason

Only problem is that an oscilloscope isn't accessible to beginners. It's a specialist piece of equipment that takes time to learn how to use, and are furiously expensive at best for someone who doesn't know they might like el

Arduino is very much less about the board itself, and more of a software framework. Every single "Arduino compatible" board beyond the standard Uno or Micro have a bunch of macros essentially just telling the compiler what the sta

Doesn't help that there's a ton of different hardware vendors that likely have their own ACPI bugs, effectively making good power management impossible.

Any decently competitive scene is going to develop cheaters in some form or another. MOBAs, Minecraft, Fortnite, at minimum I've heard about cheating some form or another. Any speedrunning community is going to face cheaters in some fo

I've been working with a CS student that often does not understand why her code doesn't work, does not want to understand how to improve herself, nor want break down a situation to it's bare components and apply them to new s

Why is this being pitched as a complete solution? There's no concrete explanation why it's more secure, just open source software = secure while rolling it's own stuff; and there's baffling component choices that complet

My point is, what's stopping me from creating yet another IPC standard?

This is mostly for medical applications. Wearable, maybe implantable, electronics for monitoring vital signs are a real thing that could completely change form with flexible processors.

So does this mean I can shove SQLite databases into the file structure, abstract away an entire SQLite engine into a single header that you are forced to use, and declare that IPC? And you know, since we _are_ already hiding databases withi

Do you actually miss DOS or just long for the CLI? Due to the culture of the x86 ecosystem, DOS hasn't gone anywhere; and the CLI is pretty much the default UI for most UNIX like operating systems out there.

Saying anything but the Switch has an iGPU is a very literal interpretation of what an iGPU constitutes. I'd wager that fairly modest power consumption (10-30W) and (non G) DDR memory constitutes the soul of an iGPU. PS5 and XSX do not

Nspire CX class were powerful enough to run quite a lot of GBA games. And I think the Ti-84 is probably still kicking around because no one really wants to bother buying more overpriced calculators that work just fine. The Z80 TIs are quite

There's the Turing award, which is an equivalent prize for computing. Could add an acknowledgement for strange and unusual applications of computer science.

Even compatibility with TS100/Pinecil V2 tips would be better. TS100 is meant to be open source, and the Pinecil V2 tips are just shorter with a different resistance.

Good chance that baby monitor uses something like FreeRTOS, not Linux for doing it's stuff. If you are unlucky, it's Android and they did the bare minimum to have a functional product. E: Also, Android uses the Linux kernel, but s

Wouldn't necessarily compare Sid to Rawhide, since for example, the Nvidia drivers on Sid are still on 535, while 550 has been released and is actually very good. Rawhide is almost analogous to Gentoo's unstable releases where wha

Here's my 2 cents: no one needs that kind of stuff. Retro can be free, and only reason you would want to break out your wallet is if you really care that much about things beyond the game.

Be careful mentioning pixels next to the word 'CRT', as you'll get people parroting that CRTs have no real pixels even though it's more complicated than that which would be disingenuous being condensed.

There are digital isolator ICs, like ADUM3166 from Analog Devices, though like none of them are for USB 3.0+ Awful lot of isolation transformers in the IC diagram, so I'm sure that something like the transformers used for Ethernet coul

Only CXL has the potential to be outsourced to Thunderbolt, as it works off PCIe and system RAM does not. CXL (Compute eXpress Link) is a server grade technology that's really aimed at solving some problems within the high performance
