Ever since Apple started rolling out stolen device protection, whenever I try to access my Apple account, for example under Settings on my iPhone, the accounts gets "locked out". Then I have to jump through all kinds of hoops, in

How is it "overkill"? Proxmox is so simple to install and administer, I cannot see any use case for manual QEMU/KVM. Who wants to manage machine configs by hand, like a cave person? And what about redundancy and backups? Ev

Yes, and it is perfectly safe to wash a simple circuit board, as long as the rinse water is clean, and it gets dried reasonable quickly. Both conditions are met in a dishwasher.

I am working on the same kind of thing. For me the ideal keybaord/screen combination was the Keyboard Featherwing from Adafruit https://www.adafruit.com/product/4818 . Unfortunately, it is a discontinued product.

Not the person you are replying to, but that sounds like an attempt to combine Billy Eilish with Godspeed You Black Emperor, while not managing to capture the essence of either particularly well. The result is utterly uninspiring and borin

I ran that rare beast, Windows XP64. It was basically Server2003 x64 with the XP UI. Driver compatibility was terrible, as you might expect, but it could support a vast amount of memory (relative to XP). I used the base O/S only to r

When we look back at the history of the US, the one practice that stands out is slavery. Today, we can only shake our heads and wonder how so-called civilized people allowed that abomination to continue for as long as it did. How can so m
