It is based on the Wii Omega trim, which is a cut down original Wii motherboard removing all the non essentials. Some components in this build are reconnected to the board using a flexible PCB connector, but the core is just a cut down OEM

I've been using some of these off-brand n100 mini PCs as a homelab cluster for the past year or so. Their physical size is smaller than a Raspberry Pi with case, and performance is more than twice a RPi5. And you get full x86 software

I never heard of her before today, despite having been interested and educated, and employed in computer science for so long. What a truly impressive list of achievements, and achieving such great things before, during and after transition

Agreed. One of the reasons I use Linux and other open source software, is not to be dependent or beholden to a single company. I can't count the amount of times I experienced or read about others experiencing a company doing a rug pull

AAA can make use of beefy GPUs, but equally it can run on more pedestrian hardware. If AAA games sold only to those with desktops and high end graphics cards, PC gaming would have died a long time ago. Even today, many games run fine on Pas

I find that Fedora generally just works, has a lot of very up to date packages and requires a lot less tweaking and setup work than something like Arch. If you don't need cutting edge software packages and run older hardware, I've

Let's not write software and especially programming languages which assume or depend on users having access to advanced tools that require a monthly subscription.

I don't use KDE (anymore), but I do use Konsole and gave Kate another shot about a year ago. Konsole is the best multitabbed terminal in my experience on Linux. I tried more "modern" or fashionable ones, but Konsole works gre

What benchmark is this? Geekbench? Geekbench is notoriously inconsistent across platforms. Not saying the iPad chip isn't faster, but I wouldn't judge by Geekbench scores alone...

I have children myself. If I want them to dance I can also just turn on the TV or their tablet. This is just a minor upgrade over that.

What about the analog loophole? At some point, the data needs to be manifested in the real world.

Digital River is shit at everything. From spare parts, to delivery and tracking, to customer communications, to warranty claims. Every single interaction with them is a nightmare. It is the single reason I prefer to buy Lenovo from reseller

I second this. Of all the TV shows I've watched over the years, this is one is easily the one I've spent the most time thinking about, even long after I finished watching it. While it has it's ebs and flows, it never got bad

Steam allows for adjusted pricing based on country. It is common for games to cost more in US/EU versus other regions. Additionally, and perhaps perversely, much of a games sale volume tends to be generated during seasonal promotions (

Remind me again, why do people connect their TV to the Internet? I used to work in the space more than a decade ago, and even then the privacy invasions most major brands did were inexcusable.

Hard to quantify into numbers, no? I like Luigi more than Mario. But do I love Mario like a 6 and Luigi like an 8?

The items you get are the same, but maybe the frequencies are different? I never heard of that being the case, only that the weapons you get depend on your position in the race (you get better weapons when doing worse in the race). But I al

I'd have to try, but have never encountered something like it on btrfs (though to be fair I've had many other issues and bugs with it over the years!) I understand the logic, but typically I've seen filesystem implementations

SSDs become slower as the fill up, and wear leveling has less available space to choose from when writing data. But filling up an SSD should not brick your volume like that. This is a filesystem implementation bug, not a user error.

Still, you should not be able to brick your device into a state like this with legitimate, normal, non elevated operations. If the POSIX API does have some limitation which would prevent this error from occurring with higher level APIs (whi

Aren't the relevant 3D bits in userspace (not the driver)? Isn't the concept of 3D APIs limited to stuff like Mesa, with the kernel space AMDGPU driver providing only the primitives on which the API can then be built? I could be w
