I am not OP. But an example that I once used to explain to my wife why I don't trust TikTok and whatnot: Some time ago (I obviously won't say when) we interacted with a person, that had a bounty on his head, setup by Boko Haram, a

This is another reason I avoid Win10 on my personal machine like the plague. People just don't get it. For example Cyberpunk 2077 has no official mininum requeriments listed for PC yet, and I noticed in their official forums a couple p

I had a bad experience with this yesterday. My country right now is deeply divided between literal left (not USA left, I mean actual marxists) and "right" (almost noone support true rightwing, either in historical sense, being mon

I am currently rewriting one of my companies site using Hugo, and good part of the reason is to be able to get rid of JS, it keep giving us more trouble than it is worth, constantly. At first I was afraid my new site would be ugly and all..

This was the approach of my company ("games" that are secretly educational). Even Maxis itself actually failed, they went bankrupt and EA bought them and ditched their educational games (what remained of Maxis started to just pump

I own a educational game company. Long story short: it doesn't sell. At my company we identified, at least if your target is kids, two ways to sell edu games. 1. Sell them to institutions, like governments, schools, companies, whatever

There are better examples than Russia and Crimea. I am not Russian, and have nothing to do with Russia or Ukraine or whatever (I am Brazillian, of Iberian descent). Still, Crimea was not a "invasion" or "conquest". Long

I think he meant that people posting instructions on how to see country flags or how to make a swastika or gay rainbow flag should not be moderated, of you do moderate then you are liable (for example if someone post instructions to sew a K

Sadly, the CRT manufacturers back then when it was still obviously superior to LCD and Plasma, decided to kill it early, SONY was still selling CRTs faster than flat panels when they shut down their factories. Many people today think that n

I am talking about SGI workstations, indeed the 1995 ones didn't support (without modification) 48bit, instead it was "only" 12bit per channel, 3 channels, thus 36bit. Here is a photo of John Carmack using such workstation:

That is exactly my point, CRT don't scale things, monochrome CRT can even draw pure vector graphics, having "infinite" resolution.

by speeder 6y ago
My personal workstation has a Samsung Syncmaster that I don't have model number available now. The maximum resolution is around what people call 2k, but 60hz, that I don't like. My current resolution is 1600x1200 75hz.

I still use a CRT, because features I want are still ludicrous expensive in newer tech (although they are getting cheaper over time). 1. Arbitrary resolutions, great to run old software and games, even better to run new games at lower resol

Right now my biggest gripe is I can't tell clusters to go to a specific rank. Although enabling "newrank" helped a lot, clusters I want to be the first, or last of the whole graph, still end in the middle for whatever reason,

I wasted in my current project too many time trying to make GViz behave. It is a tool that has lots of potential but has some insanely obvious flaws, I literally wasted 8 work days just trying to make a small planning document, because Grap

Many autoimmune disorders react to food, for example the infamous Celiac disease is an autoimmune reaction to gluten, that is present in many cereals (not only wheat). So why beef only wouldn't work? I have autoimmune diseases myself a

My business, despite being quite critical (we sell parts for maintenance of machinery, today one of my clients for example was a medical equipment factory) relies heavily on ads, people come, buy what they want, and if I solves the problem,

I tried everything, same issues. For example for contract many of these issues are even worse, because taxes, regulations on what kind of contractors may be hired, or local countries or cities requiring contractors to be registered locally,

To me it is, but employers don't care for that. They just refuse to hire. (I regularly sleep around 3am, I am total night owl)

Can someone show me a non paywall version of this? KSP is fairly important to me. (I studied with KSP author, and told him when in college, that a game like what he promised to create was impossible. KSP was among other things, him proving

The problem is exactly something Trump complained about. Big tech companies are using a law made to protect ISPs to avoid getting sued for whatever people say on their platforms, including stuff their own employees say. Other forms of media

Where I live the government literally banned you picking up your orders... so sadly can't live like you are doing :( Delivery is only option, I suspect delivery people are making a killing now.

One thing I read today might contribute to this, I found it rather interesting. I was reading about Black Death, and ended reading also about the Great Famine that happened a bit before it, and the two are attributed to be part of the reaso

But what you do when close competitors (ie: companies that are physically near, or that you even know their owner in person) start to "race" you? For example putting ever increasing budget limits in an attempt to make sure your ad

In brazil the government requires tall vehicles to have two bumpers, the normal OEM one, and an extra one intended to stop smaller vehicles crashing into the back of the tall one. This was because eye-level bumpers tend to decapitate people
