I've been enjoying many old games anyway because they're easy to run on Linux. However, I must say modern games like Cyberpunk 2077 also run very well on Linux in Steam. And I got the Steam Deck to thank for that, since more devel

No, I thought Firefox was for users who know what they want. We already have <default browser> for others. Also, having to create an account to use addons is not really acceptable to me.

I agree it's really aesthetic (I love the circle arrangements with indicator lights occurring in several in them, I assume it's something reactor related). Are such control rooms still made today, or is it all digital screens?

Then again, in case of 2FA maybe you wouldn't want there to exist ways around it, or someone could impersonate you to get your credentials?

The algorithm was made 2500 years ago, but was it already a problem/puzzle back then? Were scholars already immediately misinterpreting it? I mean, at least the person who wrote it understood it correctly I assume? Also I'm not su

How comes that the stable diffuse model helps here? Does the fact that it knows what an astronaut on a horse looks like have effect on the audio? Would starting the training from an empty model work too?

There's a theoretical limit of 55% for unconcentrated, 85% for concentrated sunlight. I'm not sure about the exact thermodynamical reasons for those numbers. But claims of "1000x better" can physically never be true, unl

For solar panels I agree, there's a hard limit of how much energy per area the sun itself gives, and how much efficiency you can physically get out of that. For batteries: biological creatures store more energy more densily, yet safely

If you zoom in, you get lower and lower level OTCA metapixels forever, very straightforward. But if you zoom out, at any time it could be possible for them to compute a different pattern. But it's OTCA metapixel all the way up. What is

I do like having both separated. Different devices for different use cases. You also don't use e.g. the same pair of pants for swimming and office work. Mobile OS's give you almost no control over anything, but you're forced

I switched from Intel to AMD Zen 4 over this. Whether or not AVX 512 is the future, Intel's handling of this left a sour taste for me, and I'd rather be future-proof in case it does gain traction, since I do use a CPU for many yea
