Given that GPU cards tend to have more DP ports than HDMI ports, why might that be? Why don't makers of KVM switches follow the same preference as GPU's do? (or vice versa. Why do we have two standards anyway)

I have an Aten KVM switch in-between, maybe that one is doing something wrong, but it's a good KVM switch otherwise imho

Does there exist any hardware knob that you can put between display and displayport cable to adjust brightness? I hate the fiddly menus in monitors and in linux no ddc utils work for me (some "leds" that should include monitor bri

Its successor, the CDC 7600 seems to be in the ballpark of a 386 PC, similar CPU speed and similar memory. I wonder if the CDC 7600 (or even the 6600) could run Wolfenstein 3D or even Doom...

So it's including the atmosphere in the radii of those planets (apparently one counts the atmosphere up to minimum 1 bar as part of the radius for gas giants). Do we even know what's inside the gas giants, how big is the rocky cor

With email addresses you can use multiple to not be too affected. But phone numbers are less replaceable than email addresses... And what's annoying is that more and more things now also require phone numbers (like, seriously, in the p

œ is not used in Dutch, while oe is. The o and the e are never stuck together like that. In French œ does happen and they indeed are stuck together like that there. In Dutch when handwriting you just write an o followed by an e as you alway

This one uses gravity though! Not the same thing as friction causing wear and tear, but still a similar dependency on a force as the springs/elastic bands. Plus use of gravity means a lot of force is needed to operate many of the gates

Here's something I'm wondering: Is it possible to create mechanical logic gates that do not involve any friction, elasticity, springs, gravity, as well as any active powered control, but only frictionless motions. Example: a NOT g

Electrical car makes sense to me, when cars were new all kinds of propulsion methods were attempted, eventually one dominant technology gained traction. The electric printing telegraph in 1848 though, that's amazing!
