I take the Cascades from Vancouver-Seattle semi-frequently for work. On the US side it can run decently fast, but the Canadian side is very slow and if you’re unlucky you can end up waiting for marine traffic at the Fraser river swing bridg

I thought I remembered seeing it back on there in the "What are you working on" thread. Was always interesting to scroll through.

I recently found my PSP with the battery cover popped off by a swollen battery! I'll need to pick up a new one but I'm glad to have caught it before anything too catastrophic happened.

The coreboot docs claim that modern AMD parts no longer support cache-as-RAM. https://doc.coreboot.org/soc/amd/family17h.html

Alternatively, a calculator? And with a calculator you don't have to worry about ChatGPT getting it completely wrong.

Maybe more fun than practical, given the performance you'll see [1], but OpenBSD has a mips/octeon port which runs on some of Ubiquiti's hw [0]. [0] - https://www.openbsd.org/octeon.html [1] - https:/&#

Sadly that isn’t really enough today - since many applications will refuse to function if SafetyNet fails because you have some non-standard image running.

My understanding is that it's not the camera that's integrated, but the ISP - image signal processor.

NixOS does have "stable" releases every 6 months, but they don't have long term support.

Right, and whilst 3.0 switches are semi-affordable, 4.0 or 5.0 costs significantly more, though how much that matters obviously depends on your workload.

On AM5 you can do 6 M.2 drives without much difficulty, and with considerably better perf. Your motherboard will need to support x4/x4/x4/x4 bifurcation on the x16 slot, but you put 4 there [0], and then use the two on board

There are also folks that want to overwrite the MAC, serial, etc to clone their ISPs ONT - allowing them to use a different GPON/XGSPON ONT/SFP(+) module [0]. [0] https://pon.wiki/

That said the current government have introduced legislation to bring these TOCs into public ownership as franchises expire [0]. Rolling stock and freight will remain privately owned so it isn’t quite a return to the days of British Rail, b

I’m sure I’ve heard of this somewhere - where someone is hosting out of a coworking space’s server room - but of course cannot recall where. It’s not surprising I guess, office buildings often(?) have one or multiple server rooms, backup po

I use NixOS on every machine I have running Linux. My config for every machine is in a git repo, and it is super easy to deploy changes via ssh. It took some work to get started - but I would never go back.

Sony seem to be abandoning the NA market which is kind of unfortunate. Their new Xperia 1 VI isn’t available in either the US or Canada.

I don’t like spending $1k on a phone, but my iPhone 11 Pro lasted 4 years and the only reason I upgraded was because the 15 has USB-C. It would have needed a battery upgrade otherwise but modern phones do have much better longevity.

Just checked, in some cases I guess it is two. For example you can only have two of I, O and P - but you can also have say W, A, S, D and F held. I assume it’s a consequence of the key matrix.

You can distinguish left and right for alt, shift and control, but not for meta. I actually built a (rather hacky) ADB-USB for this exact keyboard, you can see the look up table I used for translating scan codes [0]. You only get at most tw

> Arm CPUs are not better. To make a hardware design with MediaTek Genio 1200 (quadruple Cortex-A78) or Rockwell RK3588 (quadruple Cortex-A76), you still need to get under NDA the required documentation. Only for microcontrollers like th

The Dreamcast GPU was also really neat. It was tile based and could do order independent transparency!
