ublock makes sites like imgur usable. it's trivial to add a nice rule that deletes all those login via social media buttons just as one example of what the hosts file can't do.

If you are male check your testosterone levels; lowered T can allegedly cause a decline in cognition. Here's a link to an NIH citation rather than any woo woo sources, but still up to you to decide. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih

It's a problem for me between being half deaf anyway and Google not adjusting source streams to any sort of minimum decibel level. So listening to the local Pacifica station with no adjustment is about half the loudness of the local NP

The cables have an led which assumes a single orientation for text. You can only read the text right side up if it's plugged in one specific way.

Allegedly the term was used so DEC equipment was classified as lab equipment and went through a different procurement process so it didn't end up in the typical computer center glassed off by IT gatekeepers and bureaucracy.

Yes, exactly. Or if you don't have a pi handy maybe a couple of docker images to marry SIMH and MAME talking to each other.

It's handy even if you just need to go from work to home to Starbucks or whatever. Doesn't have to be a poor connection as much as one that changes occasionally.

Ask anyone from Austin and it's the second greatest city in Texas. The greatest city in Texas is Austin twenty years ago before everyone else discovered it and came here.

Governor Rick Perry joked about it in 2009, but it was just a joke. Even so trolls are having fun fanning the flames of political discontent by spreading this and other conspiracy theories. No rational person is asking for this, nor would

Nosocomial infections are terrifying because they're often things that have as you said survived in a very harsh environment. Thank you for doing your part to reduce them.

I claim no expertise and only have anecdotal experience, but Bleomycin was effective for me when treating plantar warts. It's an off-label treatment but FYI in case you'd like to investigate for another possible arrow in your pro

I worked at a computer store in the mid 80s and we sold the heck out of Kaypros because they were a bargain next to DOS machines. They came bundled with software and often times a promotion with a bundled printer as well. They tried transi

CM5 is just shorthand for Compute Module 5. It's a raspberry pi 5 in a different form factor. Until it's released we can't know all the exact differences without apparently signing up for an NDA'd spec sheet. But see h

Walmart recently had a blowout sale on M1 MacBooks for $399. Absolute bottom-spec machines but based on the good things I'm hearing about Asahi I plan to keep an eye out for future sales, particularly with the M4 refresh coming we shou

Sure, next time I find one of the forms I'll snag it for you. It was rather eye catching because it explicitly stated "You're allowing us to share data with third parties and service providers that are not HIPPA compliant.&q

HIPPA rules are easily circumvented unless you as a patient are paying attention: I can't tell you how many forms I've opted out of that wanted to explicitly export my data to third parties and partners that are not HIPPA compli

When I jokingly talk about MBA Disease being the same as Dutch Elm Disease, this is what I mean: parasitic behavior that kills the host. On one side this is a study in destroying a chain restaurant, but what'll be taught in business sc

It's my understanding this a way to cut manufacturing costs. One wonders what impact it has on repair costs, though. Tesla isn't going to replace the entire underbody whether it's a single piece or three pieces, are they? S

You were an outlier buying a clone for that price, but you're right that Columbia, Compaq, AT&T/Olivetti and many others had clones for far less and if you were willing to use something besides a DOS machine, there was Kaypro

That's the real problem with hearing loss: if you compensate by raising volume across the entire spectrum of sound to compensate for a few frequencies, you slowly make yourself more and more deaf. And I suffer from a notch in my hearin

As much as anything that's also due to Intel limiting lanes to on consumer CPUs keep from competing with their Xeon line. But yeah make each lane fast enough and it's less of a concern.

The check is easily bypassed, so most people who can manage that will wink and load 11 anyway. You're right that anyone who can't figure out how to bypass the check may indeed end up replacing their PC.

OpenBSD's famously crusty owner along with his leads short-circuit this sort of entitlement by asking "If you have a complaint, where's your commit to fix it?"

The Palm Pilot V had a dockable cell phone modem, but the connectivity wasn't integrated into the OS. It worked but only as a demonstration. Then Palm released a model with integrated data, but the BlackBerry came out the same year.
