The general performance loss with the DX12 -> Vulkan translation on Linux especially with Nvidia hardware recently had the cause identified and will hopefully get solved in the near future. It has to do with descriptors and how Nvidia ha

That's a fair criticism, although once you learn how to access the documentation and where to look for/expext it I find that most things, including add-on packages and whatnot, can be learned from within Emacs itself just fine. Bu

Huh interesting. I'm guessing it might be one of my clients then because I haven't actively enabled it again myself, fine print or not.

You can only "pause" your watch history, as they call it, for some reason. And I keep having mine become unpaused constantly which I find interesting. I'm not sure if it's one of my clients doing it automatically or if G

Also interested in this. I've been running photoprism for several years now using their docker image and don't really have much to complain about but always open to other alternatives. One thing Immich supports which Photoprism do

It should be noted that most office building will have some form of air conditioning, as well as many other indoor public spaces. It's just in people's homes it's uncommon.

Of course, but there are some oddities in tool use compared to other industries. At my job we use Perforce for version control for example, which I think is more common in the game industry than other solutions for whatever reason. Naturall

I tend to use Bottles only for applications rather than games for some reason, but it works well for both. What I like about it for that use case is that it almost encourages adding multiple apps per bottle. This makes it quite easy to have

Same with older floppy disk formats. Using FAT16 (or FAT12 on some systems) you can often format DD 3.5" disks to 830K instead of the usual 720K. On the Amiga the same disks are usually 880K.

I definitely bought an RF adapter for the N64 to be able to plug it into my old crusty TV at the time. But indeed, it was something you deliberately had to buy at that point and composite inputs were the norm.

It seems to try to name the outputs based on the hardware name, but with multiple audio devices it can become quite confusing indeed. I've resorted to creating a wireplumber[1] config to rename things more reasonably and also disable a

I'm pretty sure Trinitrons are always heavier than other monitors of equivalent size because of the aperture grill design. It let's more light pass through, making them brighter, but boy do they get stupid heavy as the size increa

Which is strange because 240p and 480i absolutely looks worse on them than on an SD TV. Better than a flat panel though to be fair.

Funny, I plugged my ST back in today and then there's an ST article linked here. I never had one back in the day (in fact I wasn't even alive yet), but became aware of it when my interest in the demo scene and chip music started i

Let's not forget the Japanese government applying export restrictions on the PS2 because it might be powerful enough to be used for military purposes [1]. It even went so far as claims that Iraq ordered a bunch of them for that purpose

No there's still no new production of those, as mentioned in the comments. It's kind of a shame. You can adapt a DB-25M to fit a DB-19F by cutting some of the hood to size and removing the extra pins. It's not pretty but it w

I never had any Atari computer back in the day, being born slightly after their heyday. But in about 2006 I became aware of the cool demoscene on these old computers and acquired a 1040 STFM and Amiga A500 to experience them properly and to

Clicking through to the product page it claims that VRR/Gsync is not supported with that adapter unfortunately. It is also a USB-C to HDMI adapter, not a pure DP adapter. I think only the 20-series of Nvidia GPUs and maybe some of the

Are there DP -> HDMI 2.1 adapters available that supports 4k120hz with VRR and HDR? I've not seen any although I've not looked too hard.

They do indeed have one (or more depending on cage size) designated areas for doing that. The specific place you put the litter box is something you teach them, but they don't need much training to learn as they do seem to naturally do

I can still play older Tetris games without the modern features and enjoy them for what they are. In fact, I kinda like that there wasn't an established "standard" of how Tetris games should play back then, and the different

IIRC didn't it also raise the issue of the cartels getting into the avocado business and threatening/kidnapping owners of orchards etc? Was there any truth to that?
