That separate mode is incremental search and it's a big advantage. It lets you keep extending the search string until it matches the command you're looking for.

I believe the included EVSE on the 2022 Bolt EUV now officially supports 240V. Also, for the 2022 EV and EUV, GM will pay for an L2 outlet installation at home.

I had a black Amazon Basics cable that failed, although the insulation had more of a clean break rather than disintegrating.

My HP laptop charger blew the circuit breaker in my house. At least when my iPad charger failed, it wasn't that dramatic -- it just stopped working.

In my first HW design job out of college, I was very surprised when a senior engineer made that exact claim -- that God planted dinosaur fossils in the ground. I knew he was very religious and I could tell he was quite serious, but it was

I didn't say my keyboard was noisy. For someone who gives advice on being agreeable, you sure make a lot of malicious assumptions.

I did ask my co-workers. No one complained. You are otherwise reinforcing the point that you can't just bring whatever equipment you want to the office, as the parent poster claimed.

I brought in my own mechanical keyboard to the office. It has clicky keys so it's not quiet. I haven't gotten any complaints yet, but that could change depending on who my next cubicle neighbor might be.

Yeah, I do most of my work inside VNC servers running fvwm with emacs, xterm+tmux+zsh, and firefox. My config files haven't substantially changed in 25 years. The desktop login environment has changed many times over this period (enl

Why is "Available Spare Threshold" showing as 99% on these M1 SSDs? I believe normal SSDs are more on the order of 10%.

I think you can hit Fn-backquote. You can also order either of two HHKB-style layouts, where the backquote key is replaced by Esc (among other changes).

Another important safety measure is the HANS (Head And Neck Safety) device. Without it, that sudden deceleration (someone estimated a peak of 53[g]) could have resulted in a fatal injury.

A very important chunk of those developers who improved Linux hardware support work at Intel, and it shows -- the safest choice for Linux-compatible hardware is Intel (GPU, Ethernet, WiFi, ...). It's very doubtful that Apple is going

Apple does use TSMC to build the M1 itself. So it's not quite bottom to top like the early computers up to the early to mid 90s, when a number of the workstation companies (eg. DEC, IBM, HP) still had their own fabs to make the CPUs.

I think that's a misleading way of looking at things. There is no "CISC philosophy". RISC designs came out as a new way of doing things and existing designs were called CISC for contrast. It's not like there were two

Exactly right. With today's transistor budgets, the x86 ISA decoder/translator is just noise. This is not the difference between x86 and ARM -- it's the difference between Intel's team and Apple's (also AMD's)

Something broke here, at least on Fedora 32. Activation and deactivation doesn't happen consistently, as if it has lost track of the time of day. I usually have to move the temperature slider back and forth to get it to kick in.
