I had one of them, it was a great monitor except for 3 things, 1: it's interlaced mode was literally painful, and it was all I could ever get at higher than 1080p, 2: it weighed 50kg, and partially related to 2, 3: it was so deep a tub

ClickMonitorDDC should be able to control such a monitor without needing to install a hackintosh setup https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/clickmonitorddc.htm...

The early PDPs used discrete CPUs, so they'd probably be the closest examples, the 12-bit PDP-5 is the smallest those CPUs went though, which isn't hideously more complex than a 8-bit CPU.

The 'start' button doubling as 1:00 and +1:00 is my favourite timesaver microwave design. I've had one dial, two dial and 'no useful controls' microwaves, they're all garbage, give me a number pad and a start b

Freeview receives data on the same 4 core broadcasts* that were used for analog, and in fact, freeview channels remain mux'ed in a way that BBC produced content is isolated to the 2 muxes that correspond to the old BBC1/BBC2 split

You can buy premade MIDI faders for about $25 [0], there's no way that the hardware aspect of this project is worth making over that. The software is the only real issue, at a quick glance, [1] appears to be relatively equivalent for g

I've been using shells since 1989, and I still rarely remember ssh-copy-id exists, I guess that makes me a poser :(

That would be the emacs style key mappings, specifically mirroring isearch-backwards. I have no idea what the vim mapping for that would be.

My air (noctua) cooled 7900X sustains 12 cores at 5200MHz reliably, but it's honestly hard to find that much saturation, most tasks can run better with 8 cores sustaining about 5400, or 4 cores sustaining about 5500. With better coolin

You're still thinking in terms of paying for hosting, ie a commercial web, you cannot solve this problem by everything remaining a commercial entity, since payment for services rendered must cease at some point; you're just trying

Yes, thus is the ephemeral nature of a commercial internet, if the website owner ceases to live, or ceases to do business, eventually their registar fees will end up unpaid, and the site will vanish. Never rely on anything on the internet b

In the UK a DUI on a bicycle can (and frequently does) result in points/suspension of your driving license, or a future driving license if you do not currently possess one.

You realise this is a new incident, not reporting on the incident in January? One would expect a lesson to have been learnt 2 months ago, and extra vigilance on fuselage panels on 737s to have been implemented.

Which begs the question as to what 'support' linux needs given that I believe EFI does the job of entering protected mode these days.

The latest generation are supposed to be a new non-MIPS64 ISA, but I imagine some of it is still based on MIPS.

Because the 'current' weather isn't, it'll be whatever the last update of your chosen weather station reported. Often people choose a generic station that can be quite far from where they actually are - my default if I a
