I was aware of this, but I don't think a 32 sample 4-bit wave RAM is quite good enough to make something representative :)

I think you’re okay there, the Game Boy doesn’t have any sound output channel this could work with anyway :)

I remember when they gave enough information about their vault formats that I could write my own linux app to fetch data out of their .opvault format in roughly an afternoon!

I have a similar history. The biggest loss for me on v7 -> v8 is 1Password Mini - that's a wonderful little 'browser extension for the desktop', and quick access is just awful to use in comparison. It's not helped by

Windows 2000 wasn't a consumer version of Windows, so gets left out. edit: pity, because I think all-in-all it's one of the best versions of Windows I ever used. Very fast, no junk to get in the way, tremendously clear UI, very co

I used to do this on Windows and found a ton of apps either broke their layout or got blurry when moved between monitors, so I wouldn't class Windows as 'ideal' here either :/

For extra fun: in the UK, "format shifting" - eg ripping CDs etc - is not legal. This means you can't rip an audio CD, DVD, or bluray, even if you don't have to bypass DRM to do it. I'd expect this translates to e

Exactly. Tipping for regular meals & service is not a part of UK culture. I only do it when somewhere does something truly exceptional or for a really large dining party.

I couldn't agree more, with the addition of dosbox and PCem/86box. There's a ton of titles from the late 90s onwards to ~2010 that don't work correctly on modern Windows - either very unreliable, have something fundament

Wine (and Proton by extension) is a marvel. Runs most of my windows software with little to no issue, and is more compatible with older games than Windows 10/11 itself!

I do have a shell VM (accessed via SSH & xpra) that I update much less frequently and still don't have issues. I think the main reason I have fewer issues compared to other comments here is I try to minimise my use of the AUR, and

AUR packages are not part of the distribution though, so that's understandable - they're explicitly user contributed packages and are very much "here there be dragons" and "if it breaks, you get to keep both pieces&

I'm genuinely curious about this, as I see people say it a lot but it's not my experience at all. I have an Arch Linux desktop (KDE + AMD), I update it every few days, and it's always fine. I also have a shell VM that runs IR

I really recommend sitting down and listening to this - it's a very good cover of 3DFX from start to finish (and I feel like it was probably one of the primary sources for this article).

Yes. It has won me multiple work promotions as it makes me better at dealing with other developers on my team, management, other teams, customers and end users. Listening and asking the right questions are really underrated skills, and impr

I'm not surprised there were unexpected issues - I've found running laptops 24x7 (or other SFF devices) tends to get weird heat issues. I had fun with 8th gen Intel NUCs just turning themselves off after a while, turned out to be

I largely just don’t. My employer regularly asks us to share/like/discuss company content on social media. I just don’t have accounts, so don’t participate. To be honest even if I did I still would not. I was only asked about this

I do this even on AM4 - I have a 5800X but I run it in ECO mode which locks it to 65W PTT. Drops on average less than 10% multi core performance and no single core performance at all. Much quieter, cheaper, etc. I also have a 35W 5750GE (8c

I find that Microsoft Authorised Refurbishers are a good place to start to find cheap old corporate machines - eg I can typically get something like an Intel i5 8500T based Lenovo/Dell/HP mini PC with RAM and SSD for less than £20

$2000 only buys the absolute base model 14”, so it doesn’t give you much to play with. If you are expecting to buy a laptop & accessories out of that, you’re going to struggle :/ That said, I always recommend a good external monito

This is a step in the right direction - providing contentful and relevant update emails instead of pure marketing fluff. The initial intro emails feel a bit unnecessary for me though - sending docs links etc that way just feels redundant, a

We use Lambda to handle lots of scale-out tasks & extensions to AWS services too - it works really well for this. For example: - resizing images - we can do a size per lambda all in parallel. This means we can process images quickly (wi

Out of interest, is the physical hosting located in Europe or planned to move there? I'm more likely to run a self-hosted instance for myself, but this would be good to know from my employer's PoV.

I really like this concept! It's something I regularly say to our juniors - if you have two ways to do something and one is much easier to debug later, it's probably a better choice. It's a nice extension of not writing unnec

marcan (working on linux on these devices) has talked about this on twitter previously. tl;dr is that while it is kinda technically possible, it would require a lot of changes to existing software and might result in nasty performance issue
