If you streamed Stadia to your web browser, sure, you could use an Xbox controller. The real feature of the Stadia controller was that it connected directly to the Stadia servers to minimize latency (and load on your computer), instead of c

The software ecosystem for Rhapsody hasn’t changed much since 1014, has it? I have a PDQ too, and it was kind of disappointing how little one can do in that environment. By the way, I’m pretty sure that I’ve installed and booted Mac OS X Se

Well for one, it runs the same open-source firmware that most open-source mechanical keyboards use. You can alter anything you want about it, including things like the tracking of the ball, drag-to-scroll in firmware, button mapping, and in

I ordered one of their Classic models a few weeks ago, it should be here Monday. (They just moved warehouses, so my order was delayed.) I'm really excited for it! The trackball uses QMK firmware ( https://qmk.fm ), which is m

I’m not sure about Bitwarden, but 1Password requires quite a few pieces of information to log in on a new computer, because it derives the encryption key from both the hash of your password and the “Secret Key”. Effectively, it still IS 2FA

What’s incorrect about this? Nepal’s flag is indeed the only non-quadrilateral flag of a sovereign nation, shaped like two pennants.

I’m not familiar with this for the iPod, but the Magic Lantern team has dumped firmware from Canon cameras by using an LED as a bit-banged serial interface. But I don’t know how much of a realistic threat it poses, because in order to contr

To my knowledge you don’t. But SMS messages natively only use 7-bit ASCII. Sending emojis requires both carrier and device/OS support, because it’s impossible to represent an emoji using pure 7-bit ASCII. As an aside, Unicode SMS messa

>Will my SMS be sent into multiple chunks? Yes. Actually, it already is. MMS is rarely used now for text-only messages, and instead concatenated messages is the norm. It does require network and OS support on both ends, however. See htt

When playing an 8-bit GB game on a GBA that is indeed what happens. It even uses the Z80 chip for sound in GBA titles. That said, there is a homebrew GB emulator for GBA (Goomba), and at least one reason to use it: neither the Game Boy Micr

That’s kind of silly. They haven’t used Garamond for 20 years, and when they did it was a highly tweaked version. (Apple Garamond is very condensed, for one). But that said, I think the point the author is trying to make is more about draft

The noise cancellation works even without a device connected, so it most certainly is done on the headphones themselves.

This is pretty cool, and I love the idea of a laptop with a trackball… except it’s absolutely huge. They don’t make laptop cases that fit that anymore! I suppose I could use something like my old Apple PowerBook G3 case to carry that. The 2

You can totally use a multi-stage loader, storing stage 0 and encryption keys on mask ROM. You have to make sure you don’t use a shoddy crypto implementation (or else you end up with something like Wii boothax), but the general concepts are
