We have both. The steam deck has better graphics but the difference is negligible. Most games I’ve tried map the steam deck controls automatically, and with the exception of quake saves move from pc to deck easily. Clearly the Nintendo i

We used to disable interrupts for some processes at work (hpux/pa-risc). It makes them quasi real time, though if something goes wrong you have to reboot to get that cpu back… Psrset was the command, there is very little info on it s

I get added to paper as a supporting author for the work our group does. We’re NIH (national institute of Health) funded so anything we publish has to be public and free. Which is great. Pubmed is pretty great. I get that people hate payi

Felxbox user. Interactive is pretty fun. When I was learning I thought this game was a good intro to flexbox. https://flexboxfroggy.com/ then this page was useful once you kinda understand it. https://css-tricks

Some upscalers are pretty good. DVD is fine for me. honestly when I’m watching something without a high def reference to compare to probably helps. DVD is clearly not as good. At this point I’m more interested in the quality of the conte

I wonder how much bandwidth they could save by caching the movies... Disney movies tend to be repeat watched by youngsters. Of course a lot of the streaming hardware doesn't support this.

I've owned 2. One for 4+ years the other is 3 months old. They've been fine for me and I move them around a lot. the only issue is junk getting stuck in the fan and replacement was fairly easy. The hinged chipped when it hit the

On the one hand people seem to get good enough on them to be able to race down mountains. But they do seem somewhat dangerous when in the mix with cars,bikes and pedestrians. There is I imagine a learning curve. https://www.one

Over zealous prosecution can make one’s life a living hell which certainly didn’t help. Add to that a young man who might have had some depression issues (I’m not sure) and you have a heartbreaking tragedy. From the Wikipedia: Days before S

I'm not sure. Its "POPos 22.04 LTS" which is an ubuntu like fork. I use the Suspend on the upper right task bar before closing the lid. I'm pretty sure its not hibernating because it comes right back on lid open. It

It retains it battery as far as I can tell. I use it daily and haven't had any battery issues day to day. I do tell it to "suspend" before I go home out of habit. Though at work its plugged in. I used the machine last nigh

Remove the spike and the little fan bubbles glom onto on another. Very cool. You can just wave the bubble wand around too… This is very fun.

I survived two rounds of layoffs before I jumped ship. The work environment was just wasn’t pleasant after the first round. Actually I can’t imagine a scenario where I’d be happy people got let go. (Even I felt kinda bad when “annoying talk

I went from Mac to Linux. POPos was what the machine came with. It’s very stable though the UI took a little getting used to, it’s not as big a change as I expected. The upside is Bioinformatics tools run natively and it saves me from doi
