I wonder if this would be effective? If a site is obnoxious enough to warrant explicit blacklisting it's probably obnoxious enough to give you a PLEASE DISABLE YOUR ADBLOCKER .

It's not the same! I've done a handful of programming on my monochrome 84+ (kiddie scripts, really) ~~ and the screen isn't very good for actual games. Blur is a big issue but it's just a symptom of the fact that the 84+

Ah, I forgot all the fun I had squaring EGGOGs.[1] I'm working on fully documenting the MK-52 in English but I've been sidetracked with school. [1]: for the uninitiated, when you'd do anything meaningful on the MK-52 (or 61 o

Didn't Europe (maybe someone else) forbid shipping computers without operating systems? Might be because of that.

I hate that this is true. I've posted here before on the same topic[1] and although we know a lot of stuff about computers, we don't really grok them. Or at least, not a lot of my peers do, and I'm sorely missing some inf

Not entirely relevant but; RIP Opera. It was a competent browser even after it became Chromium based, now few people trust it and even fewer people use it. Hope some of the features I remember seeing back when I used it, especially the ones

Not sure this applies here. This certificate isn't mean to be a one-size-fits-all, it's just to affirm that the holder knows Python and Git.

The endgame for all this is where we can easily run a payload from the SD card and then launch into an untethered homebrew channel or menu. The jig solution for the Switch was a start but it's impractical at best.

Yup, even in private code I always add the occasional `/* taken from K&R 2nd ed. */`. Helps when reviewing anyway so you can understand in what context the code was written and how it applies to the current project.

I think Raval’s case is an interesting one for many reasons. First, Raval bills himself, at least in part, as an educator. Second, the way that this story fits into the larger picture of his actions. Finally, much of the work he does is in

I don't think it's that hard. A server, in all contexts, is a thing that "serves" information or resources. The X server serves a graphical interface. A computer can serve an environment to SSH into. Pegging the definiti

Do you recommend any books or lessons online to learn the math you mentioned? Trying to break into it but right now I'm only in Algebra II (MAT 111) in HS so a lot of stuff I look at requires more prior knowledge than I have.

Stingrays have been known to be used by law enforcement for a decade now. It's about bloody time more information than just "they are used" is opened to the public.

Getting my A+ now; I haven't seen anything from the 80s pop up (I don't think I've even seen a mention of the Personal System 2 written out). Earliest it goes is probably the dial-up connections. It's a shame that it doe

Interesting. Wiki2 claims to make Wikipedia look better, but in my opinion it looks much worse- skeuomorphic, like a UI from the mid-2000s.
