What exactly is the boundary between commercial and non-commercial use? E.g. say you make an educational video that contains a portion of using Mathematica on RPI, and you could get ads income, is that indirect or direct commercial use? Wha

You can also keep the 2001-2003 LotR trilogy DVDs in your bookcase and they won't change either

The LotR movies are now over 20 years old. When I watched LotR, I was around 20 myself, and a then 20 year old movie (which would be an early 80s movie) would seem like a movie from a completely different era to me. Today, LotR still seems

Yes, imposing restrictions can result in awesome and creative art! E.g. using a small (e.g. 16-color) color palette for pixel art, making art using semi-graphics block characters, music with mod trackers, ...

Thanks for the link! I'm watching it now, but am wondering why there is always some rhythmic ticking sound in the background? A bit like a clock but not really.

Are you using a recent version of F-Droid fennec (which may be fenix instead), and if so does this one support arbitrary plugins? Did F-droid manage to modify it for that?

Is there a version of Fennec with up to date HTML rendering engine? Where to get it? AFAIK fennec is the code name for mobile firefox when mozilla had the very good android app that supported extensions, about:config and sane tab/bookm

Thanks Intel for publishing something that's useful on AMD consumer CPU's but not on Intel ones.

Performance at the cost of stutter. So not really performance... When did compiling of shaders become a thing? Nvidia GeForce had shaders in the year 2001 but I don't remember ever seeing this then. The first time I saw compiling of sh

But why do they change this per driver update? That sounds horrible to do! CPU's are not changing their instructions based on driver updates either. IMHO, time for CPU's to offer thousands-of-floats-wide SIMD instruction sets inst

Steam is always compiling shaders before starting a game. What is this needed for actually, can't these come precompiled with the game, just like the game's executable? There are 3 brands of GPU so max 3 precompiled versions neede

There are hardly any slots on motherboards too now these days. One network card may fit next to the GPU. All kinds of limitations to nvme SSD speeds and GPU bus width may start applying just for doing that.

Chips doesn't sound like electromechanical to me? If something with chips counts as electromechanical, then e.g. a flight simulator or racing game with force feedback joystick and seat is a way more complex electromechanical game

7% actually really is 0.07 though (or around 1/14th), the multiplication by 100 is completely arbitrary

Any idea why 6-8% are such common numbers in most of the recent tech industry layoffs?

The command line example in the link shows the old firmware, but they do say to go to the samsung website and get the latest one there. The 980 was the first one in the list there under the Firmware section.

I now found and followed this: https://blog.quindorian.org/2021/05/firmware-update-samsung-... And it seems to have worked. After extracting this updater tool and running it, smartctl kept showing the old firmware

The article switches from the 980 issue to the 990 issue in a bit of an unclear way, but I think they're independent problems and the firmware update should fix the 980 one?

I have this exact model, 980 Pro 2TB. It says to update firmware, but how can you do that from Linux? The instructions are all about some Windows program. Thanks! EDIT: I'm quite happy with the warning from this article, fixed a potent

This was looking west, and left part of view was lower than center oart. On right side of the view the ocean was blocked but I expect it to be lower there too (so highest in center of view)

When sitting on a balcony with a straight balustrade on a hill next to the ocean, it's pretty noticeable the horizon is round, and not a straight like the balustrade is. This must have been noticed in ancient times too
