So they got named in 2020? I've been building these for years. Edit: Also, they're not as practical as one might think, because they take up a lot of space. I run mine in my basement, but we use single smaller Fellowes and Rabbit

My personal observation: Drivers in my state are legendary for being bad/aggressive drivers. That being said, I have never seen the level of aggressive anti-social driving that I saw in 2021. I expect bad road decorum in my state, but

I haven't forgotten. I use it everyday. One issue is that it has gone for sizable lengths of time with frustrating unfixed bugs. For example, there was a period during which if I wanted to quickly peek at Nikon raw file with it, I&#x27

Yes, if one is privileged/lucky/unlucky enough to have a quiet space at home. My home is usually filled with a happy din, which doesn't make for good focus, so I appreciate having the office as a "second space" I ha

Same here, but for Red Bubble. What's the point of using these sites if you can't even start?

Heh. I must have missed the introduction of the multiple pages feature. I used to hand-write math homework in Inkscape with a Wacom tablet. I found it unusually effective, but the single page limit always made longer problems a bit unwieldy

Not cutting edge, but there are various deep learning upscaling tools for individual photos on GitHub. You could unpack a video into audio streams and individual frames with ffmpeg on a GPU cloud instance, upscale all the individual frames,

As someone in the US, I'd be a solopreneur in a moment, if the healthcare situation didn't suck. At this point in my life, it suits me better than being an employee. Things are better post-ACA than pre-ACA, but still not all that

Half the people I know who use MAME say "maim". The other half say "mah-mei". What's the preferred pronunciation?

Are dithered images better for power consumption? I see them on a lot of solar-powered pages. I did some experiments in GIMP and couldn't make a dithered image much smaller than a heavily compressed grayscale that looked a lot better.

The rule in our family for a number of years now has been, "If the number is not in your address book, let it go to voicemail." We have the landline ringer off and always let it go to voicemail. As an 80/20 solution, it'
