I've tried smartphone with e-Ink (mostly for motorcycle and hiking navigation, not as daily driver) and know this problem — it is impossible to share this experience via screenshots or screen recordings :)

I think, in case of e-Ink photo is much more informative, as screenshot takes data from frame buffer and didn't take screen technology in account.

There is no "Linux/ARM[64]". But there are "Raspberry Pi" and "RISC-V". I don't know such OSes, to be honest :-) This support table is complete mess. And saying "most platforms are supported&quot

Conclusions in article are strange. 1) 1.8⁰C on body is very big difference, it is like difference between person who is slightly warm and one who barely can move because of cold. It is huge. 2) Tone like «we are victims of marketing, we ca

exiftool can embed options to executable name, not only main mode of work like grep/egrep/zgrep — it is main difference. Like running `exiftoo(-k)` is equivalent `exiftool -k`.

exiftool uses this method (among others) for many years. I'm surprised nobody mentioned this.

Cars? Airplanes? Motorcycles? Child birth? Life itself? Nothing could be done 100% safely and 100% without harm. Obsession with safety is what helps governments become totalitarian even in traditionally-democratic countries. Obsession with

And I want (wanted) both. And X11 cannot redirect whole display server until you start your session with some Xnest or other semi-standard middleware (nx?). It is very convenient sometimes to access your locked session on big desktop from s

> The idea of risc was to put the intelligence in the compiler though, not the silicon. Itanium did this mistake. Sure, compilers are much better now, but still dynamic scheduling beats static one for real-world tasks. You can (almost pe

Does it support seamless roaming of clients between group of APs? Last time I've tried, it was not supported by any open source solution.

Next pressure point to install Linux: UniFi controller becomes huge container for Docker, not Java application which can be run anywhere.

It is pity, we need Linux to tun open source software like FreeIPA/IDM. I want to deploy domain at my home lab, but there are only FreeBSDs and Windows (client versions, on desktops and laptops)... I don't want to install Linux.

Yes, it is what always puzzles me: we have regulations, they don't work because everybody can find loopholes in them, or enforcement is not strict, but lets add more regulations instead of really implementing previous ones. It is every

Because different tasks requires different trade-offs and Linux has only one set of trade-offs. You cannot do good universal tool. It is like Leatherman, good enough to fix-up your bike on the side of the road, not so for normal workshop. Y

I think, that I want at least hard-real-time OS in any computer which can move physical objects. Linux kernel cannot be it: hard RTOS cannot have virtual memory (mapping walks is unpredictable in case of TLB miss) and many other mechanisms

But to have two desktop computers — one attestable and other not — is much more hard than two mobile devices. And we are discussing this movement here. You know, пive him an inch and he'll take a yard.

IoT and robotics should (dare I say "must"?) not use general-purpose OSes at all. This «Linux have a finger in every pie» attitude is very harmful for industry, IMHO.

I mean, this is not a solution if we want winder adoption. I was FIDONet node (and even hub) sysop, and I remember well, that FIDO was rigid hierarchical structure — you have your NC, and NC can discommunicate any node in his network. Yes,

TWAIN was not limited by PhotoShop, native (and naive) MS application "Scan & Fax" supported it too, and many other raster editors and document organizing applications too. Also, TWAIN is not Windows-specific! It is (was?) sup
