Would it in theory be possible to back up only 1 file (of several TB in size), your disk as a block device file, here? Or would this require reuploading the entire disk every time any single file inside changes rather than only the blocks t

In many big asian cities, the nearest MRT stop is less than 5 minutes walking away, there are trains every 3 minutes, they ride fast, and the layout is such that you usually need 0 or 1 transfers to another colored line, can't really b

Underground metros can be way faster than cars stuck in traffic. At least in most cities. The one in NY has slow driving trains compared to any other cities I've seen.

Nice, when can we use them for phones and laptops lasting 72% longer and without fire risk? Genuine question, because optimistic battery articles have been popping up for decades, but here we are still with lithium ion in practice.

I use the old reddit redirect plugin in firefox. If they ever take away old.reddit, that'll be very sad, since reddit will be practically unreadable then for me (due to the large and too image/video-focused new layout), and it sti

I don't seem to find any modern first-tier ANC headphones support any of those (LLAC, LHDC, BLE LC3) either though...

Hmm, why do such decoders even need silicon? Decoding is a software thing and even 386 computers could decode MP3 in realtime in the 90s

How would this work for gaming and phone calls? How would the operating system know whether you're playing music, or gaming/phone calls? Would you want your OS to know whether you're playing music or gaming? (personally I w

AptX (even the non-LL one) is the only codec I know that has acceptable latency where it's even good enough for gaming. Sony WH-1000XM3 had AptX, WH-1000XM4 does not and other latest generation ANC headphones also do not. So headphones

For me KDE 3.5 was still the best. But I use cinnamon now, it comes pretty close. Any attempt to try KDE 4 or KDE plasma over the years made me give up quickly again due to annoying issues (like showing a giant volume icon in the center of

This seems to have always been a setting that existed for a long time in Linux desktops (or at least cinnamon), I've had this enabled before, sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not when you want to use mousepad and keyboard

Do you know one where it's easy to type? There are many international keyboards but I don't think any has that many dashes. Compose key is the best I think.

The issue of non-ASCII-constrained environments is that it's still not easily accessible on most keyboards. I do know and use the compose key but it's not the same as having a standard key for it. Trying on a mobile device, long p

Which one of these, then, is for minus?

Indeed! The main thing that interests me is how does it compare to other post-quantum crypto schemes, e.g. does it also require a very large key size like some others do?

I don't buy that it has to be this complex. We could write to buffers at 60 Hz effortlessly with computers from 1999, speeds have increased more than enough to write to buffers at 120 Hz and more, even with 16x more pixels. 1/120t

> nobody expected 100fps+ Not for the games framerates indeed, but I did set my CRT monitor at 120 Hz to avoid eyestrain. You could effortlessly switch between many framerates from 60 Hz to 160 Hz or so on those monitors and it was just

Around 1999 we had a PC with both a Riva TNT and a Voodoo 2. The main games I played were Half Life and Unreal 1 (in addition to various games that came bundled with hardware like Monster truck madness and Urban Assault). I found the Riva T

Are we simply not looking hard enough in Europe, or is the European soil truly useless for competitive amounts of natural resources?

Think about all tricks you can so in decimal, but in base 2 instead. E.g in decimal you can multiply by ten by appending a zero, so in binary you multiply by 2 by doing so. And left shifting by 1 is what appends a zero. Or you can take appr

Simply the fact that systemd turned logs into a binary format that can't be read with standard tools, and this was not (easily? at all?) possible ti cgange made me really strongly dislike it. systemd has its own tool to read its binary
