LOL, whoops. Not sure where I came up with that spelling.

Sure, I'm "preaching to the quior" here, but given Firefox's current market share, I'm not sure we've gotten the word out much beyond our circle. The article mentioned Safari a couple of times, I don't see

I've had very good experience buying from B&H Photo, Costco, and most manufacturer's own websites.

Not at the wall, but I'm sure some folks will limit the TDP in BIOS/UEFI to lower noise/temperature/power draw. I also expect some vendors to sell smaller computers that force the CPU to lower TDP due to insufficient coo

Wow, that whole article and not a single mention of Firefox! Firefox still supports Manifest V2, which allows for more efficient and accurate blocking of advertising. (Among other things.)

Yeah, fiverr isn't going to pay well, that's right there in the name. I have had some success with other freelancing sites in the past, where I initially set my rates to $50/hour and raised it to over $150/hour by the ti

With the combination of Firefox, Ublock Origin, and Sponsor Block on desktop, and Vanced on Android, I never see youtube ads. I find it very satisfying. (Sadly, google shut down Vanced, but you can still find it if you go looking and ReVan

True, although the total ends up being about the same since they charge a higher base price. Still, it's probably the right place to order from for folks in the US.

Oh man. I used to have an Asus monitor that would crash if you connected a sleeping MacBook, then woke up the MacBook. You had to unplug the monitors power for a few seconds to reboot it. My current LG 34BK95U had an issue where MacOS would

Although it's from HardKernel, so add $30+ for shipping.

We'll, it doesn't have built-in wi-fi, but I suppose it would work with a USB dongle. However, an iPad is going to be significantly more powerful than one of these devices; you're probably not going to want compile code and w

Agree woth you on the power cable. It does have exposed GPIO, though! You can see the connector above the CPU and other microchips in the first motherboard picture. This is in keeping with the Odroid Go Super design, which also had exposed

I really love HardKernel's openness, but there are a few things I'd really like to see them work on: * Build quality. I'd prefer a slightly higher BOM of it led to a significantly better experience. Everyone complains about t

Yes, they can play native games. The new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game has a Linux/arm build that works on previous generations of this device, Beats of Rage works, there are native builds of Super Mario 64, Another Metroid 2 Remak

It sounds like they're going to try to catch and remove that - one of the bullet points under DOCX Benefits on https://www.uspto.gov/patents/docx reads: > Privacy: provides automatic metadata detection (e.g. a

Yeah, that's true enough. I guess the point I was trying to make is that I think IPv6 is a better solution to their problem of not having enough IPv4 addresses.

by nfriedly 4y ago
My ISP (Metronet) uses CGNAT and refuses to touch IPv6. In my case, when I complained that port forwarding didn't work, they gave me a static IPv4 for free, but I have to call back once a year or else they start billing me $10/mon

Not the OP, but you should take a look at https://www.gpd.hk/ they have a handful of small devices targeted at different niches.

I had a GPD Win 2 for a while. It's a similar device, except targeted at gaming instead of productivity. I loved it! (I did occasionally use my Win 2 for productivity, but it was 99% for playing games.) GPD's newer Win models are

I suspect that AMD & Intel push the motherboard manufactures in that direction. You can certainly get more high-speed PCIe slots if you get one of the higher-end product lines (Threadripper, Xeon, etc.)

Well, it's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem, so maybe this is the egg. I can definitely see various emulators taking advantage of this for RetroPie and the like. Also, as the article mentions, there's a fork of Android that runs

Yeah.. but an "I don't have my phone" button that just tells people to use their phone is equally worthless. I don't know what the right answer is, but that certainly isn't it.

You're right, that online-only access is definately a government problem. But this: > Even when we clicked “I don’t have my phone” it asked her to open the Google app from the phone that she does not have. That's a google probl

Seriously! Sony seems to be the only manufacturer that still includes microSD support in their high-end phones.
