Yup. The damning thing is, when questioned about the issue, Dell representatives have always declared that the HW is working within specs. I don't recall the exact wording, something like "noise emissions level is under some requi

In my experience earplugs/headphones are real effective for low frequencies but somewhat less for high pitched sounds. Thinking about it, it's probably related to the material used for the plugs, I think I've only used foam t

So, on PC hardware, outside of Windos and Macos, Widevine it's the only option available and it's capped at 720p, but the same DRM is used on Android and it's OK to stream at 1080p... P.S. on Netflix, I should verify on Ama

Agreed. Similar gripe, finding out that only the sequel or the last movie in a trilogy is available: why Netflix, why?

Using FZF to search the shell history is great until you don't find the command you were searching, you need to abort and what you typed is canceled. That's my only gripe with it. I've tried to play with Zsh's Zle but wa

I put, as a test and for fun, a "Disallow" entry in my robots.txt (with a campy name to be honest) and not a single crawler hit that dir in more than three years, don't know if others had the same experience.

Wow, staggered rows and flat keys with probably a couple of millimeters travel: hard pass for me.

I would say it's slow the application itself (it uses the Gnome Javascript interpreter), I've never noticed before but on my desktop, for example, the flatpaked Gedit is faster to start than non-flatpak gnome-characters versio

No because every line has a timestamp and the sort is done comparing numerical value, but still I question the use of uniq , unless it's invoked with the --skip-fields option.

I think I've pulled that example from the Mosh shell, if you look at https://mosh.org/#techinfo you'll find other escape sequences that are still problematic for terminal emulators.

It's an "escape" sequence that should switch coding system, but I don't recall from where it came from, I need to check my notes.

Don't quote me but AMD APUs (Raven Ridge) shouldn't have ECC support, unless the Pro variant. I've read somewhere it's a BIOS/AGESA thing. One of the first Google hits: https://www.phoronix.com/forum

With a couple of caveats: first you need to find an M.2 VGA or you need to use a PCI to M.2 adapter and second, the BIOS won't boot without an APU, a standard Ryzen CPU won't work on that MB. There's a thread on smallformfact
