Years ago before you could do anything this fancy with CSS I experimented with generating 3x2 pixel images server side and then presenting them as base64 encoded pngs in a "scoped" block of CSS to ensure they loaded before the src

Same. I use the element picker tool all the time to rid the web of crap I don't care about. Example: whatever_class:has-text(/YouTube Shorts/) On Android you can even do this on your phone in Firefox. The UI is a

I used to have that problem too, I was -5.25 or so. The problem was I kept getting upsold on high index lenses. Yes, they are thinner, but the distortion at such a high correction was horrible. Small frames help, but then you have no per

My Moto Edge 2024 can do 4K but only at 24hz so that doesn't really count IMO. I generally run it at 1440p 120hz, or drop to 1080p if I'm playing Minecraft with my kids. I'm using it right now to reply. It's easy to ju

I have their "best traditional" entry, the Edge 2024. I really like it. It's the karate chop flashlight that keeps me on Moto for my Android. One thing not mentioned is that this phone has a desktop mode they call "Read

I'd bet it's either the native display resolution or whatever you had for your desktop when submitted. They're able to gather all kinds of hardware specs so I'd lean to the native resolution as the most likely answer.

I looked back at my eBay history. It looks like I bought it way back in 2021, longer ago than it feels... They don't have a brand, and the listing is long gone, but here is the description on my invoice: 2 Pack M.2 NGFF SATA SSD to 2

I did the same with a G4 Mac Mini. One suggestion for your hobby/business-- I went with a PATA->m.2 SATA adapter instead of PATA->mSATA. It works like a charm and when I built mine a couple years ago it was actually much cheape

I got 4K TVs for both of my kids, they're dirt cheap-- sub $200. I'm surprised the Steam hardware survey doesn't show more. A lot of my friends also set their kids up on TVs, and you can't hardly buy a 1080P TV anymore

Was it the 9560 by chance? (The original AC / wifi5 one) Those were terrible. Our house isn’t practical to wire, so I had a lot of them. All swapped to AX210 cards (6E) and those work phenomenally. I also dual boot, in addition to bei

The integrated wifi/bt on my AM5 board was so bad I had to disable it and use a PCIe card. For obvious reasons AMD boards don’t tend to ship with Intel wifi, but in my experience anything else sucks. The intel 6e cards are amazing and

I had the MX900. I used it with my 15" Powerbook G4. It was wonderful. Over time however the connection got worse and worse to the point it was basically non-functional. I assume it was the proliferation of 2.4ghz wifi and the earl

I do something similar for an audit trail at work. I work with the type of data where we may need to know who looked at what and when. All those records are stored in a separate SQLite DB (main DB is postgres), and I cycle it out once per

My wife's PC is a i7-2600 circa 2011. I have the ram maxed out, an SSD, and an nvidia card and for day-to-day stuff you'd never know it wasn't brand new-- seriously. It even runs Windows 11 perfectly with the Rufus modified

There's a bit of info on the project page. It's CPU only, which is why GPU and VRAM is never mentioned: https://github.com/b4rtaz/distributed-llama I'm using an old x99 board for my desktop currently.

I had a job in 2006 where the sysadmin ran the entire shop on a single OpenVMS server with two 500Mhz Alpha CPUs. It was our file server, AD server (somehow), DB server, web server, everything. I just looked it up and that CPU came out in

Someone gave me an NT4 CD when I was a kid and on the jewel case it said it supported x86, PPC, I think some other architectures too. I was disappointed I could never get our PowerMac to boot from it. :P

I recently installed DOS 6.22 on an old laptop. By old, I mean a core2duo with 4GB of ram. It was hilarious to me that I needed to google the correct settings to use to get a game that requires 4MB to work on a machine with 4GB. My actual

I'm running a quite old CPU currently, a 6-core Haswell-E i7-5930K. Disabling HT gave me a huge boost in gaming workloads. I'm basically never doing anything that pegs the entire CPU so getting that extra 10-15% IPC for single t

I just ran a test on a ~4 second hires screen recording in Gifski and GIF Brewery 3 (which is what I've been using for years). Gifski took 11 seconds, and GIF Brewery took 59. Both apps set to maximum quality, 50fps, no resizing. The

I'm in that situation. We bought a starter home not knowing we'd get priced out of ever upgrading. If I knew then what I know now we would have bought the biggest house we could possible have gotten a mortgage on. But like you

FYI for the Mac Mini idea, I have an M1 Macbook Pro with 32gb. There's some sort of limitation on how much ram can be allocated to the GPU. Trying to run even a 22gb ram model will fail. The best I've gotten is Code Llama 34B 3

I just checked and Firefox finally supports it (added Dec 2023). I have a javascript workaround still in place for Firefox and it looks like I can remove that. ;) All the other mainstream browsers added :has in 2022 and it was an excellent
