Oh, sure: https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Save_scumming I wrote "nhsave" and "nhload" scripts when I was a kid and didn't know you weren't supposed to do this ("they didn't include

ADOM had a fancy re-release on Steam recently! It just showed up in my Steam queue. Check out Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. Feels like a much more modern Nethack, with convenience features (`o` autoexplore, `tab` autofight, etc.) and less of a

Block-letter Roman-alphabet writing existed long before the printing press: consider e.g. ancient Roman monuments. Arguably, cursive was the anomaly: a form of writing optimized for a device capable of relatively continuous writing, in cont

Some BenQ projectors, including the just-released X3000i I recently picked up, consign the "smart" portion to an Android TV HDMI+USB stick that plugs in inside the body of the projector. I just never plugged mine in and the projec

The confusion here is between throttle-by-wire (which, as you point out, is now ubiquitous) and steer-by-wire, which Teslas still aren't. There was some hope that the newest yoke-equipped Model S would be, but my understanding is that

If you have an electric car, you can get PG&E's EV time of use rate. Schedule charging during off-peak hours (past midnight) and it's on the order of $0.13/kWh.

There is not. We looked into this for my Canadian now-wife. If you have no college degree, basically your only immigration options in that case are a work transfer visa, entirely up to the whim of your current employer, or the K1 fiancée to

I strongly recommend the Manta Sleep mask (no affiliation, just really like them). Adjustable non-contact eye cups, plus you can get different eye cup "mods" like cool (keep in freezer) or warm (microwave) cups that feel amazing.

The Keyboardio is fully open source, from the schematics to the CAD files to the firmware. It says so several times on the kickstarter page. Heck, the code is available right now: https://github.com/obra/KeyboardioFirmw
