I don't think Pajama Sam requires reading, I definitely played it before I could read at least, and probably around the same age as when I was playing putt putt.

soda stream is a lot cheaper than buying bottled sparkling water, and you can make a very good analog to your favorite mineral water / soda / energy drink for even cheaper if you buy the right additives online. They did do a good

You're right! And now I qualify for the win 11 beta. Looks like I got confused between two different security setting pages in the UEFI menu, and had just enabled "the ability for it to use a TPM plugged in to the header" ins

You probably only have the header on your motherboard, without a tpm module actually plugged in. Mine was like this, and the specs for your motherboard suggest this is also the case for you. You can buy them on online pretty cheap (I got on

If you click the BI link under the image [0] and watch the video they say they're still alive, and that they try to only drain 30% of their blood before putting them back in the ocean. But (paraphrasing) up to 30% don't survive th

This is (was?) a big problem with google photos. If you upload a video and immediately share it with someone they'll just see a black screen. A few minutes later they might be able to watch a super-low res encoded version, and only muc

(USA, pre-pandemic) I've seen "mandatory" hand sanitizer use exactly once, at a camp which had some nasty norovirus outbreaks (which was misery, especially I'm sure for people who had to fight over shared bathrooms). Now

Seems like that's an ideal problem to solve using a blockchain/smart contracts (a distributed auction). If they can't verify these bids are real & will be paid out that seems like a complete failure of the technology. Edi

EVGA has a sign up sheet. They'll email you when it's your turn and you have some number of hours to complete the order (don't remember the exact amount of time you get). Note that at this point it'll likely be months be

For this reason I try my hardest to buy single-active-ingredient versions of everything. I can keep a list of what pill combos combine into nyquil/mucinex/whatever, and can avoid doubling up on anything unintentionally.

That's how my LG TV works. The TV shows up in the cast menu just like a chromecast does. Using youtube as an example, it opens up the youtube app and starts the video. You can either use the remote as usual to interact with the video,

I have this issue with a subwoofer - coupled with a bad amplifier/grounding/(something?) it creates an immense WOOOOF every time it turns on and off. This causes my house to shake 15 minutes after I go to bed, just as I'm abo

I think this comment has the right idea [0]. Amazon has two problems with seeds: 1. people doing what appears to be a weird scam that involves seeds being mailed across boarders 2. seed sellers on amazon have been flagrantly violate import

An anecdote: I bought some seeds on amazon a few years back and they ended up coming from China with a customs declaration filled out as "bookmarks". I decided not to plant them. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/p

Thank you for this. I thought the usefulness of being able to press "ctrl-c, f12, ctrl-v, enter" would be self evident.

This is one of the things we tried when I worked (2011-12) at Intel on QuickIA [0] (dual socket, Atom on one side Xeon on the other). One of my first projects was to write a vectorized matrix multiplication that could only run on the Xeon,

(as far as I can tell, I don't really understand what Prodosy is) Prosody is always running, whether or not you have it configured with a password. So I'd guess zero extra load. Additionally, without a password your server is wide

I also set up jitsi, in my case on an ubuntu server 18.04 VM on my desktop [0]. Took about 10 minutes as well to follow that guide. In addition, I wanted to expose jitsi to the internet but not allow random people to create or join rooms. I
