   I can only speak for myself here, but I'm running a MediaTek MT7921 on Fedora 37, I picked it up on eBay for £12 and its been spot on. Unlike my Intel AX210 I can actually get a full gigabit down sat next to my router.

   I'm so relieved to find that its not just me going crazy all this time. Its gotten so bad that I've had to install a bloody MediaTek WiFi card in my ThinkPad just to make it work reliably. I remember when the 8000 series radios we

   There used to be a plant near me which did something similar (extract magnesium oxide from seawater), it finally got demolished in 2012 and they're building houses on the land. https://hhtandn.org/venues/287/s

   I'm confused, shouldn't a car from 2016 be immobilized? And the ignition switch needs to respond to the ECU with a payload from the RFID chip in the proper ignition key?

   You used to be able to set them up from the Chrome browser, back when Chromecast support was implemented via a browser extension and not baked in. They completely gutted Chromecast support in Chrome quite a while ago, you can't even ad

   Yup, under an X11 session when Gnome goes completely mad you can hit ALT+F2, R, Enter and restart it without losing all of your state.

   > Except, of course, that the story about the Russian soldiers in Chornobyl was completely made up. There are satellite photos of trenches dug around the red forest where Russian soldiers had deployed?

   I'm quite sure Steam still displays the SteamOS+Linux badge, I wonder if perhaps you're thinking of the Steam Deck certified badge? That does include games which run through Proton, it just means that the game runs properly.

    Its a little amusing that a project meant to help rid users of Windows is being used to prop up Windows for some users.

    The GBC is quite easy to disassemble (If you have one of Nintendo's silly triwing screwdrivers). Give the pads under the buttons a rub with some isopropyl, and at an extreme buy some new conductive silicone pads for about £8 online. No

    Lower Decks has a super rough start, the first episode is outright painful to watch but it has grown on me a lot throughout its run. While its largely irreverent, it still respects the material with far more care than some of the other new

    Absolutely, I still listen to the soundtrack from season 1 & 2, he brought a lot of variety and character to the score. Some of his musical choices certainly do date the show, but its part of the charm.

    Composer 2 isn't bad, I have had comical situations in the past where it got very confused and ended up gobbling 32GB of RAM before crashing, but that hasn't happened in a very long time.

    You could overdrive the CRT on the Commodore PET with a poke to a particular register. On some models it would cause damage, on other models it would cause faster screen draws.

    Potentially more backlight power draw for HDR? But yeah, generally it takes more power to push 4x as many pixels.

    Yep, the playstation 2's I/O processor was just a playstation 1 CPU, I believe the emotion engine still handled the graphics though.

    NetBSD was what I was thinking of, I remembered that years ago you could sort of kexec into it from many different Windows Mobile devices.

    I think now is the time for people to be putting their energies into something like Minetest[1] so they can't have the rug pulled on them. There are already some mods available, but it would be great to see more ported. [1] https:&#x2

    The most grating "feature" of Bluetooth is having headphones that support fancy AAC/AptX codecs, but as soon as you want to make use of its microphone it dumps the connection right back to A2DP.
