I feel like the headline is burying the lede here: every Dell sub-brand is going away expecting for the new “Pro” and “Pro Max”. Reminds me a lot of how Apple in the late 90s got rid of their Performa/Centris/Quadra/etc. for

I’d agree with your assessment of what Apple considers a photograph if I could turn off the post-processing that turns everything in the background into a smeary, blobby mess.

That would be a bit of an issue if you were to ever, say, have a garage sale.

The quote escaping seems to be identical to that of Visual Basic 6 (and likely QBASIC as well, although I haven’t tested that.)

You might have some luck with news wire services such as Reuters or the Associated Press.

As someone who used to use (and hate) LabVIEW, a lot of my hatred towards it was directed at the truly abysmal IDE. The actual language itself has a lot of neat features, especially for data visualization and highly parallel tasks.

The modern equivalent to this would be an embedded system with an RTOS, where you do get full control of memory, because you are the OS. We just have nice abstractions on top of that for the most common use cases, since you very rarely

You can see a somewhat similar concept to this today in the test and measurement field with the PXI standard. It's an open standard of plug-in instrument or computer modules that slot into a chassis. The only real sore spot is the driv

The latter. According to this wiki I found [1] the audio was muxed in with the program data, and then separated by the Satellaview satellite box. This audio would then get mixed in with the Super Famicom's audio output and sent to the

There is - it’s called the X10 Home Automation system. It’s archaic technology from the 1970s and it doesn’t do power monitoring, but you sure can turn devices on and off. EDIT: it seems the KNX standard is a more modern system that support

Fortran is closer to a highly optimized Matlab than a general purpose language like Javascript. It excels at matrix and vector calculations and is simple enough of a language that getting something working isn’t too difficult.

Unsurprising really. I've only ever seen LabVIEW running on Windows machines. Hopefully this will allow them to ease up a bit on maintenance work and tackle some of their long, long overdue technical debt. Perhaps they can have a file

Toshiba no longer makes computers. Thanks to their 2015 accounting scandal, they had to sell their computer division to Sharp, who now sells some very unremarkable machines under the name "Dynabook".

Imgur is backed by venture capital. A stable, sustainable business isn’t enough; they have to make gobs of cash to repay their investors.

There was a mirror at https://kidneybone.com/c2/wiki/ without the SPA stuff, but that seems to be 503'd right now. (And even if it wasn't, I don't think it has a root page; you'd need to type i

Regarding point 1, USB-TMC is just as good as LXI, really. Completely industry standard, just like LXI or GPIB. LXI is great if you need it , but you probably don't if everything's on the same desk. And there's even more ins

They already killed the lightweight mobile version at i.reddit.com last month or so. I wouldn't be surprised if old.reddit.com is on the chopping block within the next few years.

RSS doesn't work all that well across multiple devices, such as a desktop and a mobile phone. You can subscribe to them on both, sure, but they won't be synced with each other. Apps such as Google Reader and such resolve that prob

It would be nice if 7-zip added support for the new Windows 11 context menu. It requires that each context item is registered to an application and gets removed when the app is uninstalled, instead of the current free-for-all. [1] There&#x2
