It shouldn't be their job, and blanket bans on specific subjects because "someone may do something illegal" is prejudice with a lot of collateral. If someone is doing something illegal, it should be the authorities job to dea

How about covering the costs? Is it free speech if it's only for those who can afford it?

I've done it with games many times. Well, disassembling rather than decompilation, but close enough. For example, changing hardcoded key bindings to be more dvorak friendly in Touhou games. I've fixed many Quake engine based game

Yeah. I love watches but I decided I'm not going down that road. That's why I wear just a Casio. Though admittedly it's a $1600 titanium Casio with DLC coating and sapphire glass.. but it's still just a quartz watch a

I don't agree with this argument at all. If routers can enable NAT by default, they have a stateful firewall by default. The printer won't be on the internet unless you punch a hole in NAT, it won't be on the internet unless

I don't know if it hops when nobody is connected but I certainly found mine to hop while I'm connected. It'd hop around until it finds a channel where wifi doesn't work, and then stays there. I had to force a channel..

It's normal in signal processing to treat samples (whether audio or image) as points. A lot of things stop making sense if you replace them with line segments and rectangles.

I'm a 1-person remote team, and I virtually never deal with non-technical people. So I'd say hermits most certainly do exist.

It got pretty simple for a while when old serial & parallel ports were phased out in favor of USB. Also VGA worked for a very long time even after DVI and HDMI appeared on the scene. (I never had as much trouble with connecting display

If you want something that can't be strong armed by governments, the web sucks too. There's virtually nothing in it to resist censorship. I'm sure this voting app could've been a website, and I'm sure it was or cou

Not just UX.. one day Element just wouldn't connect anymore (and in a typical webapp fashion, no useful error messages). Nuking its config directory and starting from scratch fixed it (never needed to do that in 20 years of using irss

There are some hard parts (e.g. I don't expect mechanical compatibility across appliances anytime soon) and easy parts (charging). There's really nothing fancy about the chargers that all the appliances use. USB PD isn't des

I hope they can get SoC vendors onboard. Broken & old BSPs are really tiring, as is waiting for the small user community to slowly upstream all that work. It can take years for the support for a new SoC to mature in upstream Linux. T

I feel like there's bigger fish to fry. There's more and more li-ion appliances and tools, most with proprietary chargers (think all the power tools), and in many cases no user replaceable battery packs (e.g. vacuum cleaners). It

I've noticed how often I check the time on my phone. Tapping the screen isn't a big deal but I still feel like a flick of the wrist would be more convenient, and there are times when the phone isn't right next to me.. Also,
