> Because the fact that Copilot is free ... I found a tree trial and $10/month $100/year after that. I've asked them to consider a free tier for hobbyists that cannot justify the expense but I'm not holding my breath.

Interesting to know that it was more than just an idea - thanks!

Interesting to mention the Raspberry Pi. I saw an article just a day or two ago that claimed that the RpiOS was stated by and ran on top of RTOS. That's particularly interesting because at one time years ago, I saw suggestions that Lin

To my untrained (WRT off-roading) eye, I didn't see that much difference between the two. I also wonder how much difference there would be due to driver skill. And as mentioned in TFA, Ford has been making trucks a lot longer than Tesl

At what point do they rebrand crappy WD drives as HGST? They already have a reputation of obfuscating information (SMR vs. CMR)

I don't recall the processor. I was using it on period H/W, and in at least one case it was an IBM PS/2 with an 8514 graphics adapter and writing to it using some graphics primitives. The only wonk thing I recall was that if

Maybe Costco caught up with this. I can't find it on their web site (at least in the US.) All I see is the "Extreme Go" which I presume is a different product.

I guess I'm one. For some uses I want to be able to capture literally thousands of lines in a terminal session. I used to be able to do that with gnome-term. The "edit > select all" used to select the entire scrollback buf

I have an adblock browser installed. Google defies any attempt to make it the default but it shows up in the options on the Chrome browser. When a site is too obnoxious I reopen it in the adblock browser for some relief.

We were camping at Illinois Beach SP. When we turned in, the plant was humming. In the morning it was silent. I wonder if we were there when it shut down for good.

Thanks for explaining that.

I was really hoping that certification involved some kind of testing to insure that the compiler always produces correct code, though I'm not sure that's even possible. "Always" covers a lot of ground. It sounds like i

My first PC - a Heathkit H8 - had a numeric keypad that could be used for loading RAM contents with a program and starting execution at some address. I don't recall if it was decimal, hex or octal but it was a lot more convenient than

I wonder if this explains the temporary signs I see on busy street corners proclaiming something like "Make $$$ working from home." (Or are these recruiters looking for telephone support help?)

In evolutionary terms I don't think that there was anything that represented a danger to grizzly bears (save adult males killing cubs) so they may not have evolved behavior patterns to run from big loud things.

The '386 was the first in that line to support demand paged virtual memory which opened up a lot of things an OS could do. IMO that's the most important thing the '386 provided. My second PC was a '386 that ran SCO UNIX.

Eratosthenes used this phenomena to measure the diameter of the earth long ago (according to Carl Sagan: Cosmos.) One of the best examples I know of using what you have to do something really interesting.

This sounds like the same issue that caused me to switch from Google Docs to Markdown for my notes. One day I spent way too much time trying to figure out why I was getting errors when copy/pasting a command back to the command line. I

Does the isolation between processes in Android require that it be in the kernel or can some other form of privilege bridge the separation?

Measuring temperature is not trivial. There's convective, conductive and radiative heat transfer and they all factor into the measurement. And that may not accurately reflect the "cabin temperature," particularly in a parked

Agreed, mostly because I'm looking forward to the CM5. But I do have a Pi 5 on pre-ordered along with the official wall wort and the active cooler. I skipped the case because I'm thinking about a Flirc and wondering if Coolermaste
