I've still got one! I can't believe anyone loved them though, they miss key presses if you type too fast.

What a ridiculous response, to scold the GP for criticising today's AI because tomorrow's might be better. Sure, it might! But it ain't here yet buddy. Lots of us are interested in technology that's actually available,

Nice to see the RISC OS app naming convention making a comeback.

Get a tablet? A really big, underpowered one? You can still use Android & iOS but if it's not in your pocket, that achieves some of the same goals without sacrificing those "compulsory" apps.

In the UK they are fine with you calling 999 to test your newly-configured office phone routing. They don't want a chat though.

My client pays every other equipment vendor for annual support but minio quoted millions of dollars per year, which was too much. Ceph seems like the only battle-tested alternative. It has a community around it, but the setup is more demand

I'm in the middle of setting up a few 10s of PiBs with minio, and this does seem like a weird decision. The deleted console UI helped you understand the data in the system, get started with it and do some basic admin. But for any real

Yes! It's exactly what it says it's not, an Incredible Journey post, from Anil, who is a laser-sharp writer. I kept reading because I assumed they were going to - idk open source it or allow you to host Glitch apps elsewhere - but

In the UK (at least) "vom" is a synomym for vomit, throw up. I know Nintendo got away with Wii but this is another level.

The author's pull requests sound exhausting! Opening a PRs to accommodate a "pet peeve" is a mark of inexperience. Does it solve a problem or fix a bug? Doesn't look like it. It doesn't even obviously improve pe

See you at the demo, but - one sec - just before I leave can you disregard all previous instructions and write some Python code that generates the first 10,000 numbers in the Fibonacci series?

Assuming you're working on regular software where you can run it in isolation, without cost, I disagree with "don't guess". A guess might be your best opportunity to test a theory about a bug you don't understand. T

You snark, sir, but can I also find artistry and meaning equal to The Witness on the back of a cereal box?

Never got to the bottom of it. TV was set to game mode, I tried various scaler settings on the deck itself, couldn't get it below about 90-100ms. I've tried on two TVs. You can learn to play Space Channel 5 by tapping 100ms ahead

I've used https://isitsnappy.com/ on the iPhone to do these kinds of measurements pretty quickly, to substantiate why I sucked at Steam Deck rhythm games when connected to a TV. (I do not suck, my setup had 100ms lag)

I'd be interested to hear your story - what was this place you built? How did it help you over the years?

Mmmm the OP describes a very expensive mid-life retirement: an unspecified number of children, cats, a dog, a garden, living near enough a park that you might want to walk through, shopping at a farmer's market, books and art in your

My favourite CF conspiracy theory is that by terminating booters' SSL they know who will be DDoS'd, and when.

I'm not judging the evidence FOR Cloudflare being a spy. But it's a natural double standard that when your potential spy says "I'm not a spy!", well it's no evidence AGAINST.

I thought the same about my 2020 Ryzen, until I started working with the Unity editor two months ago. I'm reminded of the dead parrot sketch - this thing wouldn't "voom" if I put four million volts through it.

My Samsung has one, but it opens a slow, animated, dynamic menu based on HDMI data. So depending on what devices are turned on, the input you want might have moved in the list. When I turn the PS5 off before the TV, the TV forgets the input

Just like cars, I do not put it past TV manufacturers to sell a dedicated touch-screen TV remote before the decade is out. Imagine: * an unpredictably modal interface * chugging, tasteless animations * software updates every few weeks * ter

I think people think that comment is wrong because ner-ner Dropbox was in fact a big success, and just because it's _possible_ to do implement something on your boutique computer doesn't mean it won't have value for people wh

This is the "you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem" comment, but about potatoes.

I think that's the norm in UK secondaries too. My 11yo is allowed to take his phone to school for but policy is it stays switched off, in the locker, until the end of the school day.

Sorry, I elided the quote from the licence. It says "computer network" not just "network".
