You might own the disc, but what about the optical drive that has to read that disc? That is already happening with the 5th (PS1/SS/N64) and 6th generation (DC/PS2/GC/XB) consoles, the optical drives are dying and t

CERN is so big that they have their own IXP: https://cixp.net/ Also, the web was invented at CERN, so like the other comment said, if someone deserves at gTLD is them.

I have the opposite opinion, TLDs should have been restricted to ISO 3166 codes only, with only a few exceptions for international organizations and private networks.

Plenty of old consoles had strange unused features. For example, the Megadrive VDP outputs the palette indices for each pixel in addition to the analog RGB output. This feature was used by the System C board (a Megadrive in an arcade form f

What? Ethernet is a layer 2 protocol, SFP and RJ45 are both layer 1 (PHY). Ethernet runs fine over both SFP and RJ45.

We have a similar situation in Spain with paella, people argue endlessly about what a "real paella" should or should not have, to the point that some people joke that "real paella" can't possibly exist, only "r

It depends on how rich the old lady was. In my hometown (Cáceres, also in Spain) an old rich lady left a whole palace to the city, which is now a museum, and a lot of money to start a cultural foundation.

Vulkan Video is about exposing the GPU's hardware encoding/decoding functionality through the standard Vulkan API, not about implementing the codecs through shaders.

You are thinking in Western terms. In East Asian Confucian societies, "harmony" means following the rules to keep the social hierarchy in place. Staying quiet and not disrupting the status quo is more important than your sense of

The game is called La Abadía del Crimen and as far as I know was only released in Spain and never translated to any other language, so even though it is a cult classic in Spain, it is pretty much unknown outside.
