I use HDMI on my Smart TV and just disabled wifi because I realized it was downloading more than half my bandwidth (a small amount, in fact). It could have been doing an update but I found no reason to leave it on. Occasionally I'll us

"The car’s unvieling comes as some countries around the world continue to push EV adoption with better and more affordable options. The U.S., however, has taken the opposite track." Lol, so true. I honestly don't mind waiting

hi fseifken, Thanks for the response and I agree there are benefits to newer formats. I actually do prefer newer codecs when I am using a newer system, such as AV1 (I actually wrote a blog post on that yesterday https://inavoyage

for gifs? it seems an image format would be more backward compatible with older devices. Edit: by image format, i meant lightweight animation without a video codec.

I found APNG suffer the same issue, but there may be some workarounds: https://share.google/aimode/X1Q5rp3z2tEbtDSPf "Yes, but not natively just by using a standard <img> tag in web browsers. Because native

I've noticed that GIFS with several frames in them tend to be quite large files. I like that these use dithering, which can reduce the file size. Ideally it would be not larger than 2-3 lightweight photos juxtaposed together, and less

You are both correct, although I'd like to point out that Linux Foundation draws the line at GPLv2, whereas GNU believes their kernel ought to be GPLv3, and that opens another can of worms. See BSD0: https://spdx.org/li

Ah, I see now that journos were referring to the older definition of hacker. I suppose newer interpretations have a ways to go in gaining acceptance, though I am not sure why the phrase hacker/cracker is even used, when other words cou

I think the usage of the word in the CNN article is more like a news report saying there was a bear attack. Bears hunt salmon, eat berries and veggies, since they're omnivores. A report is only going to be typically referring to bears

Thanks for highlighting the even earlier term from 1963. If that is the case, then why don't journalists use the word "computer intruder" instead of hacker, when it's less a catchall? The funny thing about these comments

It's not so much a fight as a reminder of the technical words that actually distinguish one type from another. Are hackers considered ethical in the press today? 40 years of movies and press articles hasn't exactly made the idea o

"The message sent was of the ‘Extreme Alert’ type and contained the word ‘misanthropy’ – which means hatred towards humanity. It is probably a hacker attack,” the agency’s statement said." As this happens whenever there is an intr

I have published all my papers since 2023 on the web. None were peer reviewed, but on pre-print servers. Einstein's 1905 papers were published without peer review. I still get spam emails asking me to pay for papers I've already u

And the Xerox Alto had a budget for 10 years. Unthinkable in today's "What did you publish?? Publish or it didn't happen. No R01 for you! (2 year funding)" culture.

I've seen the option in IE- .mhtml. For some reason it displays in IE better but I don't recall seeing this option in chrome of Firefox recently..

And unsurprisingly, the S23 camera is probably still better than most entry level phones being released today.

Phones don't get "slow" on their own. It's usually due to bloatware from upgrades. Many phone cameras are already quite good. The only remaining reason to upgrade is possible security vulnerabilities, but even that doesn

agreed, there is a memory aspect to it too. That said, there is something about this video that looks funny: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3-15YADeyg (I made this last year)

agree. I hacked a Panasonic GH1 to use 24fps in 2014. My newer camera, the GX85 includes this frame rate by default. Movies look more dreamlike in 24fps, due to the magic number of resetting some cycle every 5 seconds (24 frames in 5 second

Wafer.space slots can support around 4-500,000 transistors in 1x1 titles, usually reserved for 1000 dies. The 386 (non SLC version) had 275,000. In theory this could be manufactured at 180nm/130nm https://wafer.space/

yes, amazing complement to a super rare non-release (but protoype) exists.

Since they are out of patent, curious if anyone would be willing to manufacture it again.

I found a 386 compatible linux image: https://github.com/hatonthecat/linux_distro_tests/commit/816... It's a floppy image, although there are other bootable isos in on of the other folders.

The Github page that the article links to at the bottom is Chris Noeding. Thus they are the same.
