Not a front end engineer but I imagine this boilerplate allows the JavaScript display engine of choice to be loaded and then rendered into that DIV rather than having any content on the page itself.

A version of this that targeted RPi would be neat!

We had Symbolics Genera, not mentioned, and way better than anything else mentioned here, IMO.

I have reduced transparency turned on in iPadOS accessibility forever. However there is so much gratuitous transparency now I can barely use half the features. Why do I need to see behind quick settings to adjust brightness? Or do anything?

I always thought the scenes in Wall-E showing the space ships colliding with all the space junk were horribly unrealistic. They should show the space ships exploding and all the humans and bots perishing.

I was under the impression that modern replacement lenses could flex under muscular control like the lenses of pre-presbyopic people. That was not mentioned in the article though. I am not hoping for cataracts but I thought that would be a

I also like these chargers. I use adapters to several companies' proprietary charging ports. I like they will do 240W in a SFF and have bonus USB-C ports for my phone and tablet (or whatever).

Regarding ChargerLAB's products: I have an HP Zbook G1a laptop that uses 140W USB PD charging. However, except for the HP charger, I have not found a charger or cable pair that works. After a while they start cycling charging on and of

I cannot tell. Is this a whole system indexing application? Instant search across all installed documents? I have nearly 40TB on my primary windows desktop computer and would LOVE that. Granted much of that is decades of home video but stil

Silly question. Are there any 486-compatible small CPUs that could be embedded into a project instead of using an FPGA? Given that AMD, Intel and others have the ability to make 486-compatible processors currently, I would have thought you

Not so sure. When I first started wearing glasses for astigmatism, it turned rectangles into trapezoids. Totally destroyed my depth perception. After a while I got used to it and stopped walking into curbs and buildings. Later in life I mov

"100KiB images"... This is odd. Most of my images are 2.5-4 MB. My raw images are 3-10x larger.

The FPGA software from Xilinx and Altera are scripted with Tcl/Tk.

This reminds me of the interesting articles over the last few years about the heat from the London metro system over the last century saturating the ground so the tubes have become extremely hot.

I like that I can run whatever software I want on it. I do not like that it is overly locked down without rooting. But still way more open than iOS, regardless of what the mobile phone lawsuits from Epic decided.

I got a Motorola Razr 2025 Ultra. You can use it closed. Open it is narrower but taller than a Pixel. It fits in my pocket easily.

I did some... Googling.... Anyway, it seems many sites estimate iOS as about 57% of the US market, not 20%. Example: https://backlinko.com/iphone-vs-android-statistics

Indeed. I have an AMD 9950X and an Asus X870E* motherboard. I can barely get the system to boot with one 32G DIMM let alone 2 or 4, and 48G DIMMS are even worse for some reason. I have tried 3 different "matched" sets. Sometimes I

I have the HP Zbook G1a running the same CPU and RAM under HP Ubuntu. I have not seen any OOTB way to use the TPU. I can get ROCm software to run but it does not use it. No system tools show its activity that I can see. It seems to be a mar

For my home use, I use Home Designer by Chief Architect. Commercial, but clicked with me. I bought the most costly version after using the least costly for a few months, all with perpetual license.

Good, as far as I can read. Paywalled as it was getting interesting.

I just got an HP Zbook Ultra G1a with 128G. I added a 4T 990 Pro SSD and loaded HP OEM Ubuntu 24.04, then kubuntu-desktop. I added AMDGPU software for OpenCL. Except for no dGPU, it seems like a near perfect laptop. Great OLED touch screen,

I wish there were an easy way to get Explorer not to show Zip files as a "folder." Such a huge anti feature for me.

I wonder how much better hollow core fiber would be. My guess is faster than copper, even given the conversion and retimer latencies.

This is a primary reason why I do not use Apple products. I use Windows and Linux on my laptops, and even have a ChromeBook. I use a SteamDeck as a console. I use Android phones, tablets and eReaders. I use Android based TVs and streamers.
