I was hoping to get some insight into the roots of NT. At the time my understanding was that it resulted from the split between IBM and MSFT and that MSFT was already developing NT based on their derivative of OS/2. That was IIRC befor

They won't even show me the price. Before I logged in, I could see the gold bar. As soon as I logged in, it changed to "Product Not Available!"

If I understand your question, it's a lot simpler than that. (Simpler as in not that functional.) It represents the directory structure as cascading menus. I edit using VS Code and it provides help with linking from one document to ano

Many thanks for your efforts here. I'll be looking into Material for MkDocs (the next time I can't find something. ;) )

Not speaking for the GP. I use MkDocs and keep my personal notes. The only weak spot for me is that I haven't fully grokked search and as my notes grow, it can be harder to find things. I alternate between figuring out how search and h

Is it Logitech S/W in the kernel? The article mentions it was fixed in 6.6 but I did not see any mention of when it was introduced. I have not experienced the issue on 6.1 (Debian Bookworm) and wonder if 6.1 doesn't do that or if

Easy. 14÷(14+1+8) = 0.608695652 Oops. Maybe they didn't include the missed prediction. 14÷(14+8) = 0.636363636 Maybe they rounded up. A lot.

by HankB99 3y ago
Would rowhammer testing reveal whether or not a system has ECC RAM? It reveals errors on my I7-4770K (not overclocked) system whereas an ancient Supermicro board (X10 era) seems to run the rowhammer test indefinitely w/out detecting er

It seems to me that that would be an effective temporary solution, but would have to be re-applied following rain. The bigger problem would be cost. The building in the article is McCormick place which was hit pretty hard during Covid and i

IIRC there was a recent Android compromise that played ads under the main window, invisible to the user (except for performance and battery drain) and collecting $$$ for the company that sold the ads.

WD40 - Nooooo! It gets gummy. Use a proper lubricating oil. Or replace the fan. "Pro tip:" Do not direct the output of a strong air stream (e.g. the kind used for automotive work) at the fan as it can de-blade the fan.

I live about 100 yards from the Union Pacific mail east/west line out of Chicago and we see a great variety of freight cars, but I cannot recall the last time I saw a stock car. I guess that's because the Chicago stock yards no lo

I have no idea if that's true or not, but I wonder how long it would take to establish orchards further north - time to realize it's possible and time to get the trees to production.

I've had some really cheap cards fail but have mostly had better luck with name brands. One of the things I do is to configure hosts to use the overlayfs (read only fileystem) where appropriate and that helps to reduce wear on the SD c

It depends on the use case. I have several I put around the house with sensors for IoT stuff. ESP32/8266 (and newer) devices would probably be less expensive since they don't need an SD card but are more work to program. The Zero

YIL a Pi 4B can run from a directly connected USB/NVME SSD. I've been using USB/SATA SSDs and all I have tried require a powered hub. Do note that I don't just just boot it up and proclaim "It boots - ship it"[

The CM4 exposes a PCIe 1.0 x1 (Not sure about the revision) lane and can boot from an NVME SSD. It will be nice to have this capability on the Pi 5 with all of the other connectors (except for audio.)
