I'm pretty surprised. I've used Calibre's inbuilt EPUB -> AZW3/MOBI converter for hundreds of books to left-align them for my Kindle. The only books where the formatting was messed up were the ones in which the EPUB w

I love articles like these. To markchristian, I was wondering if you have any informatinon about the SNES Satellaview unit and how the experience of playing Satellaview games was different from playing cartridge games back in the day? Satel

I'm so glad that this is a thing now! My first memories of MSFS was FS98, which was one of the few games which ran acceptably on our dated 531MHz Pentium 3 desktop. I remember getting FS2004 a few years after and I was never so simulta

I've felt this too. During my learning phase with the Arduino, I had hastily bought a bunch of sensors and random pieces of hardware with some ideas but no cohesive plan of what I was going to do with it all. After a stint at my colleg

To my knowledge, this is based on Plasma Mobile which shares some features from the KDE Plasma desktop environment and uses Qt for widgets. https://www.plasma-mobile.org/

Yes, that's the one. Anandtech did a pretty good analysis of Cannonlake here: https://www.anandtech.com/show/13405/intel-10nm-cannon-lake-...

Not sure if I agree. The top-end Intel Wi-Fi cards 826X/926X have excellent performance compared to almost any other card I've used. Throw in Intel's excellent Linux support and it's hard to find a better option in the l

FWIW OneNote has an ugly grayish tint to the notes UI in Firefox and only looks good in Chrome. This is a bug which affects Word Online too.

The moment I switched from Evernote to Onenote was the time EN screwed up the formatting of one of my very important ornate lists. To make things worse, through an unlucky combination of keystrokes I deleted everything I had in my note, onl

I agree, Firefox's Awesome Bar is the single best implementation of combining local and web results I have ever used. You can even set local results to appear at the top so the order of items doesn't jump around once the Google re

I actually really like Calibre's UI for nostalgic reasons. The oversized icons remind me a lot of WinZip 98, which was one of the few programs I remember back from when I was 5 years old.

I found the crew's control of the dimming function far too aggressive on Air India. Even on a midday flight at 1330, the windows were dimmed all throughout till we landed at around 2200. It didn't help that I couldn't sleep t
