It was sad to hear the fifteen minute warning on the intercom and to watch Gary lock up front for the last time.

Maybe it's snooty holier-than-thou posts by users of password managers, lacking in substance or any real argument, that lets the majority of password users remain unconvinced.

As the original footage was done on film, the time difference between the top and bottom of a single frame is zero, unlike a "rolling shutter" progressively scanned sensor. The framerate is also much lower than the 60fps phone cam

Citation needed. In my experience, running AoE2HD in Wine results in strange mouse errors at the start of a match which can ruin a game (where the screen is stuck scrolling to one side).

This might be the most offensive website with regards to layout and ad density. At least five ads, including one massive top-bar wanted to sell me on some TV show called "Happy". This website is terrible.

This is just a study of filtering algorithms. The author is just looking at Photoshop's (default!) bicubic filtering, which emphasizes high-frequency detail content at the expense of accuracy. The browser examples are doing simple line

There is only one row. The one below the top is a strange and alien one called "number keys".

I just received my T25. They are already unavailable in the US. I will soon be making a comparison video between the T25, my X62, and the old X300. I will say that the panel itself is a good panel, 1080p aside. It is like the one in the T45

Agreed, and I'm happy that I'm not the only person with this view on display density. I can deal with HiDPI displays if it allows me to to a 1:2 integer scale without losing too much real estate, but any scaling between there lose

I remember this not-so-fondly. This wouldn't be a problem for a game that is composited alongside the desktop in a "Windowed" mode, but for a full-screen application it is an "exclusive" application. The Source engi

Nvidia graphics with the actual binary drivers are great for Linux users. What are you talking about? Plus, this is a modern Intel-based laptop, so I'd strongly bet that it's implemented with Optimus and therefore has Intel graphi

I can't tell if this is a troll post or if you are being obtuse, considering what this laptop is called.

They didn't just take a game boy screen, this is the whole thing.

This is not just the game boy screen, this is the entire GBA as a controller, with custom hardware in the cartridge slot. The GBA is a great embedded system. More power to them!

I use one of these X62 systems as my laptop.

> Do not transition on any negative (falling) edges. > Falling edge clocks should be considered a violation of the one clock principle, as they act like separate clocks. I think this is a good thing to point out if you are working in

The bloomberg website is full of wonderful '90s-esque animations that have a low-budget feel, certainly intentionally. It reminds me of the aesthetics of a Tim and Eric animation. https://www.bloomberg.com/nonexistantpa

Joke aside, that didn't install a Windows program, and I'm willing to bet the WSL wasn't installed by default either, and I'll also bet that didn't work in a Windows command prompt.

The Home/End usage on Mac OS seems completely worthless to me. I find Home/End useful for going to the start or end of a line respectively, so having it jump to the top or bottom of a document (and having the frameskippy scrolling

I agree with you about a package manager being a good OS feature, but this is unnecessary snark when the two most popular operating systems don't come with a package manager (of this sort, at least).

More importantly, flash videos weren't riddled with 4:2:2 color compression and fixed resolution.

That doesn't really matter, as to the layperson virus often is a general catch-all term for malware.

In the mid to late 2000s, this was something that was often repeated.

Interesting results. I have loved XTerm for a long time because it "felt snappy". On MacOS I've always preferred Terminal.app to the often recommended iTerm2 for similar reasons. I think it's funny to have the suckless p

The Model F only registers key down events, and can't report a key-up. I don't want that ever again. Unlike many other aspects of old computer peripherals and designs, there's no tangible advantage to this limitation.

Why stick Nest Founder in the headline, when Fadell's involvement in the iPod and iPhone are more pertinent to the article?

Old monitors were not blurry in good condition, and the distortions from applying un-needed AA to these fonts don't resemble what an out of focus monitor will do.
