Is this the feature that would let you put extension properties on everything? The most obvious way to store backing fields for arbitrary objects is to have a global concurrent dictionary that stores weak keys, and a compiler-generated clas

On Windows, "Environment" is stored in the Win32 Thread Information Block/Thread Environment Block (TIB/TEB), so it's thread-local rather than process-global.

More interesting if you exit windows and run DOS. Also the Windows 95 version of EDIT.EXE is in there for some reason, rather than the actual edit.com (which is a frontend for qbasic /edit) For some reason, edit.exe has a com file ext

Lossy audio formats suddenly become very discernible once you subtract the left channel from the right channel. Try that with Lossless audio vs MP3, Vorbis, Opus, AAC, etc. You're listening to only the errors at that point.

There were some numbnuts that were calling themselves "Bio Hackers" and freely injecting themselves with random CRISPR injections. I wonder what's going to happen to them.

I think those no longer work, as lines are now trimmed at the first NUL.

The last time they significantly improved the text box was adding in support for mixed LTR and RTL characters around Windows 2000. And arguably Windows 10 adding in the emoji IME when you hit WindowsKey + .

Game Boy Micro can still enter GBC mode, it just can't read any cartridges. It's missing the switch which is normally triggered by the cartridge shape, and also missing the voltage conversion circuitry.

Also, if you have an array living in the zeropage, and you use Zeropage,X or Zeropage,Y instructions to try to access beyond address FF, it will wrap back to 00. Because it's a zeropage instruction that can't go outside the zer

You can easily wipe a membrane keypad clean. Those require force to trigger the buttons, so they are not at all like touch buttons.

While my dishwasher has the "buttons" at the top of the door, it puts the light on the bottom, so it shines on the floor. Little red dot. Cats like that dot.

The worst of both worlds is Touch Buttons. No screen, just a touch-sensitive surface that's divided into areas that activate upon any kind of skin contact, whether intentional or not. I always see my dishwasher having some bizarre set

In the past, GeForce Experience had game streaming functionality. Similar to VNC, but using hardware-accelerated video codecs, and supports joysticks and sound. GeForce Experience removed the game streaming feature in 2023, but the protoco

NVIDIA's website lists 566.03 as the newest "Game Ready" driver, and 565.90 as the newest "Studio" driver. Does the Studio driver contain the security fix as well?

I get bad results when cooking Calrose rice in an Instant pot, and much better results when using a rice cooker. (Rice Cooker calrose recipe: Weigh the rice. 1.1 times the mass of the rice is the amount of water you need.)

Vector graphics are a thing, you can make colorful graphics that can scale. You just might need multiple levels of detail depending on how large it's rendered at.

I used to write those fancy textboxes that reformatted your input as a phone number as you type, and intercept paste, and all that. But then it turns out that you really do want a free-form text input. Let people paste text in, edit their

JPEG XL is three different codecs in one. There is a lossless ultra-packer for existing JPEG files. It's completely reversible, you can get byte-for-byte identical JPEGs back. Then there is "VarDCT" mode, which acts like JPE
