at least on x86 you're still able to install whatever operating system you want, even if only for legacy reasons

there's still tech out there that does, like the pinephone. It's going to be niche, but it exists

they might have a resistor to indicate how much current is okay to draw, or they might be hooked up to a chip negotiating things like the voltage for the pd protocol, but usually it will be an asic that doesn't even really have firmwar

the github one got a laugh out of me

they don't actually go into any detail how it's supposed to render, though. they refer to the standard but don't actually say what the browsers are supposedly doing wrong. It's not that the shadow being applied makes the

wow, that must have taken a while

I think the one thing that strains the eyes a bit about the layout (besides people just using it as a metaphor for saying they don't like it) is that a lot of their themes use text shadow on all of the text, which makes it look slightl

ladybird isn't really what I would call efficient, it's very slow compared to any other browser, because they're still focusing on correctness primarily as they mature their engine.

well, at least you've given a very generous timespan for them to resolve it
520.
by asddubs 4y ago
that's a different situation though, because that's hardware which is coupled to software. Often exclusively, too (meaning you could install alternate operating systems, even if there were any).

I think the easiest way to communicate it is to just regularly increment your version number and then have people be able to buy version X. Like Photoshop, and really most software used to be sold.

you're thinking of the pico, the zero is just a smaller, less powerful raspi running raspbian

tables have some annoying edge cases, like e.g. they interact poorly with responsive images

it should just present an empty list, like a newly installed phone with no pictures taken yet / no contacts added. if apps detect that and refuse to function, ban them from the app store

The difference between the first two is how ugly the code is

I do still like the 95/98/XP paradigm best in terms of, start button, non-grouped buttons for the different windows, and some quick launch icons. luckily because I run linux I can have my pick of the litter, cinnamon, MATE, even K

stuff like setTimeout accepts strings too. I wonder how good those scanners are at detecting overwriting an initial innocent function that's later called in a timeout with a string, it can get fairly indirect let harmless = { fun

have fun uploading a copy of your passport every time you visit a new domain then.

well, obviously the advantage is that you don't have to enumerate all the architectures you support manually. Is it worth it? Ehhh, probably not, but the author isn't exactly advocating for it either

actions speak louder than words. by that logic you can never declare anyone anything.

so someone being against gay marriage is not a homophobe in your eyes? Why can't Obama just also be/have been a homophobe

incidentally the original ender 3 is also open hardware
534.
by asddubs 4y ago
i think the average customer buys an ender 3 / ender 3 clone. which you can make the case is derivative of a prusa if you go back far enough, but not to the point where the openness status of prusa matters to that argument.

not really, he used it to connect two pins together which he thought acted as a switch, but ended up causing a short. People get way too upset about it, if you've never made a major mistake like that, you've never tried to attempt

yeah, now they do. And if linux had relied on manufacturers to write drivers, it would have died many times over before ever getting to that point
537.
by asddubs 4y ago
the eternal ideology vs pragmatism debate. this project will get people a good linux machine that actually exists and you can buy in stores. besides, why not both. linux has been all about making it run on hardware without the manufacturers

ah sorry, I only watched the first minute or so since it didn't seem like the type of video that would dwell much on technical details like that

actually, millclock is also making new nixie tubes now, so they are one of the two only games in town. nixie manufacture at a non-industrial level is pretty involved, so each tube has to pay for someone manufacturing it for several hours, a
