I think as devices stop being supported and become obsoleted, it should be possible to install arbitrary iOS versions on them.

Due to latency, the client has to at least do a little prediction.

A child is presumably a sentient being, and at some point in their life should gain control of their name. In fact, they do, to some large degree. There are means to change one's legal name, or one can diverge from their legal name and

The whole debate seems to be a modern phenomenon to me - from my anecdotal experience back in the day, it was never questioned by computer enthusiasts that it was pronounced "jif".

Absolutely not. See my response to your sibling comment. Choosy nerds choose "GIF".

I agree that language is fluid. However, when it comes to names, I think people should have enough respect to pronounce things how the creator (or owner, depending on the situation) of the name says it should be pronounced. Too often people

I've said "jif" for almost 40 years, and I'm not stopping anytime soon. Hard-g is wrong , and those who use it are showing they have zero respect for others when they don't have to. It's the tech equivalent

I miss the days of old Amiga OS 3.x, where you had installable "DataTypes" that any program could make use of. If we had that, then all such programs could at least be updated to basic compatibility by simply updating the datatype

Wayland was designed by people who didn't quite grok the X way and decided to forge a different path. That's fine, but people also shouldn't expect Wayland to be a drop-in replacement for X in all cases. Thus a mature X-based

The preservationist in me was bawling its eyes out watching the video where he got it running the first time. That reaction? Every bit as vicariously satisfying as watching top level speedrunners and players in various genres of game. I&#x2

IT should be illegal to name an act with a pronounceable acronym. Makes it too easy to mislead the public about the purpose of the bill.

Why should "YouTube" as an entity enjoy freedom of speech? They're a platform for user-generated content. Outside of outright illegal content (which is even tenuous sometimes, I'd like to reserve this for the worst of

That depends on the size of the CRT. Signal-wise, there is never blending between scanlines (except for PAL chroma blending), only the natural blending of the image within each scanline as the voltage rises and lowers.

DAR is perfectly fine to use, as long as the entire image (including any borders) is included in the calculations. Thus, all images from the same system should end up with the same scaling factor.

by LocalH 1y ago
One thing I see in this article is a very common blunder in dealing with images from these types of retro systems - non-integer vertical scaling. For accurate reproduction of these types of CRT raster images from an aspect ratio perspective

You seem to be viewing this through a modern lens, and treating this like it's "new" terminology being used to gaslight people. Some would say that the modern definition of "race" is what's not real, what is so
