It would kind of fit their use case. You typically fill up the card with long sequential writes (photo and video files), download them to a computer, erase the files, and repeat. It'd be a shame if they had a lower bytes written capabi

I believe they're referring to startups who use VC capital to attract people away from other tech firms at very high cost to themselves. Really it's what all the big companies are doing, but at least some of them can claim solvenc

As a semi-related side question, does anyone have good numbers on how plug-in hybrid batteries deteriorate over time? I bought a (2022) last March and I do a full charge/discharge cycle on it nearly every other day. I've averaged

Weight loss has been the hardest thing I've done in my life so far. Going to college? Easy in comparison. Getting a good job? Was a lot of work but I did it. Losing weight? Something I've been struggling with for 12 years. 2022 wa

It also has some calls to have the card do accelerated blitting on later versions.

I remember using Xvesa in the 00's on 90's hardware with great success. Damn Small Linux, etc. iirc, -vesa got kinda bad after the advent of the "GPU". Cards didn't natively support VBE and emulated a subset of it j

For the uninitiated, what is "YEC"? Google wants to define is as "Young Entrepreneur Council" but I doubt that's what you're referring to. Edit: Thank you kind internet strangers.

Seriously. 0.3% percent of new cars in 10 years are electric or partially electric and drove gas usage down by 0.5%? Seems like a victory.

I mean, it's the same for me, I'm just on the software side of the company (mostly, I'd say systems because occasionally I have to borrow the PCIe packet analyzer to figure out why something isn't working). The electroni

That's been a funny thing for me. I'm not an electrical engineer, at all. My electrical knowledge is an introductory electromagnetics course I had to take in college that I've mostly forgotten, reading/watching EEVblog,

To be fair, it didn't break or lose data. Just got really, really slow until I let it finish reclaiming space.

I actually hit this for the first time in all my years of using btrfs a few weeks ago. Every month or so I spin up external drives to write out monthly backups of my NAS and personal computers. Forgot I'd taken on the home video collec

I didn't know I was sitting on something so valuable XD. It's been nearly 20 years since I last pulled out my LEGO trains... That and the Rokenbok.

by Teknoman117 4y ago
In the past, the LEGO trains had a port on the motor to pull power from the tracks so you could run things like lights or small motors for effects. There was no protection on the direction the power was going, so you could attach it to a mo

Not OP, but my parents use it in northern california because they live in a spot that the standard ISPs have decided isn't worth running connectivity to - gigabit cable is available if they lived 3 miles closer to town. No utilities ot

This isn't really an actionable response, but what I did in this situation was move to where my friends were. I'm lucky in that the majority of the people I met in college happen to live around a particular area of the country, so

For any here who are into hobby robotics, RoboGames is back for 2023. Time to dust off my Robomagellan 'bot, it's been awhile.

So long as you have some lighters, matches, or a mechanical sparker because the built-in ignitors won't work without power.

I thought Quark was out of production at this point (last shipment was supposedly July 2022). And yeah, I remember all the segfault fun trying to get a generic Linux distro running on it at a hackathon back in 2014.

I consider the array pointer stuff a bit of a foot-gun in C. I've seen too many examples of people mixing up uint8_t[][] and uint8_t**. The "compound literals are lvalues" pattern I've seen many times for inline initiali
