Yes, I think that's what they're implying as well. All of the companies I mentioned do the same thing to a greater or lesser extent, so it's a pretty well-known practice in open source. That isn't to say it isn't wo

You want to check out CoreCtrl[0] for GPU undervolting. I'm not sure exactly what features are available for RDNA1-3, I remember reading an issue that some level of control was lost at some point, but granular clock/voltage contro

I guess "software company pays software developers to develop software" was a less catchy headline. Soon we'll be finding out that Intel, Red Hat, and even Google have been paying developers to keep their products based on op

ksuperkey[0] addresses this, though it is unfortunately not widely packaged so you likely have to compile it. I haven't used it in a while, but it worked well when last I did. [0] https://github.com/hanschen/ksuper

Well, my comment was highly abbreviated for the sake of pithiness, but US ratification of the treaty would be more meaningful than the US simply not employing landmines itself. (NB While I place all the blame on senators for not ratifying i

I would prefer to use US senators who refuse to ratify the Mine Ban Convention. They won't need any particular skills or training, just have them wander around possible UXO sites until they find one with their foot. The great thing abo

While I disagree that hydraulic brakes are a significant hurdle for home mechanics having learned to bleed hydraulic car brakes at 12 years old, and the author is probably wrong about electronic shifting as well, the fact is all these techn

I recently replaced my decade old Blackberry because it either did not support VoLTE or I just couldn't find the appropriate firmware upgrade for the modem, but either way the telecom refused to service it. If it had support for scanni

I have never, to the best of my knowledge, owned a telephone that can open QR codes, and I'm neither interested in finding out for sure, nor buying a different telephone. I've largely stopped going to restaurants anyways because o

Or, since Betteridge's Law, like Moore's and Poe's, is a physical constant of the universe, it could implode in on itself and create a supermassive black hole.

Yes, fly ash concrete seems more sustainable than concrete without it (provided that the fly ash already exists) in certain applications where its particular properties are beneficial. I seem to recall it having greater durability under com

Indeed, although I suspect the PVC in the inflatable form could be replaced with some other, actually sustainable material. It's therefore an even bigger indictment of this company that they didn't even bother to do this and are s

In what way is concrete a sustainable building material? It's a huge carbon emitter, a poor insulator, concrete production is devastating to natural habitats turned into sand quarries, etc. Plant-based construction materials, e.g. hemp

Indeed, I've hired many people. The nice thing is that as an employer in most of the US, you can just fire them for any reason or none at all. I don't think the possibility of doing multiple interviews only to discover that the ca
