Isn't this what SDL ( https://www.libsdl.org/ ) is for? Some cross-platform (and pretty light) hardware abstraction where you can have a canvas, do 3D, audio, whatever...

It's the first solid thing our kid ate, and he loved them. I guess it also depends on when they are exposed to that. If they are 5 years old, it's probably too late.

Indeed... I didn't read the standard in detail to check whether escaping is allowed/taken into account, but what if my data contains those symbols? I mean, they are perfectly legal Unicode printable characters, unlike the ASCII on

circuitpython uses PWM to do the same, see for example https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-essentials/circuitp... . I tried connecting a speaker with just a single MOSFET as a digital amplifier, and there was nothi

As far as I remember, Alt+- opens the menu of an MDI child window. For the current window (which is generally more useful, MDI applications being very rare these days), it's Alt+Space as mentioned by several people.

I don't think Shift+Esc does anything on Windows. In Firefox it opens a "Process manager" but that's just inside the browser, nothing related to Windows.

If you want data only, you can get a 400 kbps unlimited data SIM (they also have eSIM) for 4 CHF per month from Digital Republic. Or 10 MBps for 10 CHF per month (see https://digitalrepublic.ch/en/private-customers-pric

In that case I want the Sensor™ to be physically unable to send out actual images to the computer that handles the vending machine, so no software update can actually start doing something else than they claim it to do originally.

I recognize it fixed a security issue, but nonetheless it's very inconvenient. I don't always have tmux at hand, especially when the system is booting in some degraded mode...

Of course, and one of my e-mails also exists since almost 25 years. But (unless I own my own domain, as someone suggested, and don't fail renewing it), it's hard to predict what will happen in such a long timespan. Not quite, but

The 169.254.169.254 DNS mentioned on the details page is also a local address. It's probably their internal DNS, so an fd00:: could also work, supposing they have one...

I wouldn't say that bringing batteries home like a wheeled luggage is exactly a convenient option, although it's better than no charging possibility at all... But that can be a showstopper for many people who don't have acces

It's possible since at least 2 years, maybe more. You still need a smartphone to create the account, but apparently you don't need the phone to be online, at least not all the time, not sure if it keeps working if it's offlin

I did long train journeys weekly between 25 and 15 years ago, approximately. I've chatted with a lot of people, and had quite some interesting discussions. Of course people were reading, and/or wearing headphones (mostly younger p

This is the actual reason. TCP being a stream-oriented protocol, it would be perfectly valid (although totally inefficient) for the DNS server to send back an answer in 25 small-sized TCP packets. The DNS client would possibly even not noti

Totally agree with your point of view. Another thing to consider is how much the bands dedicated to cell phones are already saturated in dense urban environments. I don't see how a few thousands satellites would be able to scale if the

This is in ideal condition, but how good is the rejection of other signals by the beamforming circuits in the receiver? Intuitively, I'd think that a powerful enough local jammer (I really mean local, not at some kilometers, EM fields

Indeed, I think that you can definitely see the difference between 25 and 50 fps... even 24/25 fps and 30 fps don't exactly look the same. The 60/72/75/... Hz (some screens could display 85 or even 90 Hz) of the Win
