   OT: I'm idly curious why that display (photo: https://www.mouser.com/images/vishay/hd/O020N002ALPP5N000A_t... ) has what appears to be a detached single vertical column of presumably-unusable pixels on ea

   That USB to CEC passthru box is $44.92 for reference. I do wonder what chipset it's using under the hood to do its thing, but given the combination of HDMI licensing/royalty fees, manufacturing tooling, the little custom enclosure

   I agree, but have serious "ugh, but what about when I leave my network"-itis. Like when I tether off my phone (or just use said phone when out). The ideal solution seems to be to VPN off my home internet connection, but that jus

   It's not just trusting the software, but the implicit policy around its implementation and use and even more implicit social norms around what it is expected to do that develop and evolve in interesting ways as products and services en

    You might have recently viewed other pages on the site. Clearing your cookies should fix it. (If so, then bug, not feature; at multiple levels: I suspect sadly intentional.)

    I've often mused that in like 100 years we'll (...hopefully...) have an entire lexicon of mnemonics and conveyances to express what's going on in the mind. It's currently like we're 12 month olds bashing blocks toge

    Two questions: 1. How would power conditioners and lightning arresters handle these sorts of situations? 2. Was this using VMWare fault tolerant VMs, just out of curiosity? (It continually live-migrates one VM to a hot spare over a 10G link

    What's "the db"? It sounds like something of small to medium scale if you can just restart it like that. In any case, why not just relocate some vendor engineers on site for a bit? Or, better, why does the vendor not have a s

    Huh, you went a little further than I did then, cool. I also vaguely recall playing with some example code, but IIRC I wound up stuck with something that cycled my laptop's backlight every time I loaded it, and the documentation (and m

    Cool, it went somewhere very wide and deep. I guess the only genuinely interesting question worth asking (and hoping for an answer to) is, given the back and forth about performance and Myrinet vs IB on here... how well does the design stac

    Addressing each point: - Xorg hasn't directly handled audio since the days of 2.4 era kernels (anybody remember NAS?). PulseAudio and PipeWire revolve around D-Bus and their concern around the graphical desktop mostly involves seat con

    If there's one angle I'd jump on the bandwagon of harping on about it's definitely this one because a) the subject doesn't get nearly the attention it needs and b) the heavyweight toolkits (Qt and Electron would probably

    That actually makes sense, the logic there would be that the on-plane system just captured the card number and an on-the-ground system was responsible for checking and billing. Given that 747s (IIRC) are still using floppy disks ( https:&#x
