I grabbed SLS off a BBS in mid to late 1993. I was 12 and had a 386 with 8mb of ram and a monochrome display. I didn't at all use X11 at the time, but I loved that I could switch between virtual consoles, had real multi-tasking, and ha

Earlier this year, I wrote a 6502 emulator and discovered that none of my coworkers even know what the 6502 was. Almost every conversation resulted in me saying: "You know the NES? It used a 6502 as a CPU".

Politicians really like to use "child pornography" as a wedge issue for surveillance as it's a topic that people overwhelmingly see as "a bad thing". This screams slippery slope.

Totally not going to be confusing to buy an "Intel 3" i7 or an "Intel 7" i3. :D. I'm a little sad they went "Intel 4" instead of "Intel 5" though.

The URL is giving an empty page for me, so I'm afraid I can't really comment on the content of the article itself. With that said, people should fear any site/service that uses SMS for anything security related. SMS 2fa is a

Have you tried checking out Wine? At least on Linux, these days just about all games run pretty well. It's very possible the story might be different on macOS though, I really wouldn't know personally.

I really enjoy Grim Dawn. I'm sad that the game is finally "finished" and will no longer be getting update patches. The developer gave the game a good 4 years of post release content though!

I have suffered with a fair bit of general anxiety my entire life. I'm 39 and while I'd say that I am significantly better at coping with it... it's still something that I struggle with and am still learning to deal with bett

It seems they have primarily isolated the remaining contaminant to tritium? This seems like it might be a nice source of tritium for tritium deuterium fusion reactors? I am quite sure I am missing some fairly critical elements here... but i

Also Blender (most likely). It supports video editing and general vfx, not just 3d asset building. It's also being used professionally for this purpose in a few places too!

I generally like to bunch up my orders such that (hopefully) as much of my stuff as possible gets packed into the same box. A recent order though had two things of eye liner in it aaaaand... of course they ended up in their own very oversiz

Yep, though technically one could enable this before now by tweaking the about:config security.webauth.u2f setting. (Which is something I've been having to do for a while now). As a side note... the way Google handles U2F is somewhat o

There are professional whiteboard style products that make use of electrostatic adhesion. Usually designed such that you stick a piece of paper behind a plastic overlay that you draw on. They are pretty nifty if you have a need for temporar

And... over the internet. Quite a few internet connected BBSs around still, many of which are even part of FidoNet. Speaking of which... FidoNet is still alive too, along with several other similar BBS mail networks. :)

The big news is that Voyager 2 should be experiencing more interstellar medium than atmosphere from our star at this point. It will still be a while before it could be said to truly "leave the Solar System" if you consider gravita

Slackware was my first distro back in the early to mid 90s. Switched t it from SLS! Both were downloaded from a local BBS... Used it until Stampede Linux came out. (Them Pentium optimizations were important!)

In regards specificly to the UFO test... The blurriness is generally not related to frame rate but LCD persistence. Ie, on a theoretical zero persistance 60hz display you would not likely notice the individual frames getting blurred from fr

Depends on the context and how involved the person is in the experience. There has been a bunch of research involving VR induced nausia indicating that having a framerate of 90 or higher reduces the incident of nausia over 30 and 60. For ex

Attacks against a host system of a virtual machine or of a shared system have been speculated about for quite a long time. I really do not think it should be a surprise to anyone that these vulnerabilities are being announced. Yeah, it cert
