My 2020 M1 Air generally requires a hard reboot if left closed and on a charger overnight, but that's been the worst of it until now (besides the rapidly degrading battery that seems calibrated to hit 79% a month after my AppleCare+ ex

I got (for my wife) an entire Framework Ryzen 7840U system, plus a 2TB SSD and 32GB RAM purchased separately, for THE UPGRADE COST on an M2-class MacBook between its base spec and 32GB RAM/2TB SSD. It's a farce. I don't want

Roll your own. I've got one running PiKVM software on a Pi Zero 2W with an AliExpress HDMI-CSI board connected, and the whole thing bundled together with kapton tape and hanging off the USB port on a headless system. I had to mask off

In the end, hehe, it was a medical doctor who greenlit the procedure. Patients don't get to decide their own treatment trajectory, but they can certainly respond enthusiastically when the Certified Medical Doctor suggests it as a possi

Nah, it's fine. At colonoscopy doses, if you fight it, you can remain semi-conscious, and the process of coming out from sedation is pretty trippy as bits of your brain that have been muted come back online at different rates. It'

Power usage aside, I'd take the simplicity of a mainline kernel and distro over the mystery-meat backported patch chaos of the faux-5.x RockChip kernel that's really a Frankenstein 2.6 codebase. Yes, I know they're "work

I've had two colonoscopies done in the last 10 years. The second was possibly unnecessary, but I pushed for it because I just really enjoy propofol. Maybe if more people knew that the sedative drugs used in the procedure are fun, they&

It turns out you can put whatever text you want in the alt text field and it won't get clocked by the scolds because they don't actually care enough to check. It's enough that it appears compliant in a surface-level audit. Ho

I have a friend who has two children who are now allegedly young adults. They smash about one phone each per six months and one laptop screen each per three years. Their iPads are somehow intact, but dented to fuck. I, myself, broke a lapto

The Lunar dev has a variety of recipes for a hardware widget you can build which allows their macOS-only brightness-control app to implement adaptive brightness on any monitor that permits backlight control over DDC/CI. I'm sure a

There are some tools out there that will allow you to bind hotkeys (or at least provide a widget) to send brightness-adjustment commands via DDC/CI over the HDMI/DP cable to your desktop monitor. This may improve your UX. My 2015

All this will do is imperil the freedom of hundreds of millions of Europeans and drive the kiddy fiddlers to services that won't comply with EU surveillance: it is therefore a foregone conclusion that it's going to happen.

The Irish government may be swimming in money, but the Irish people I know - not in Dublin - are scraping by. Don't be fooled: it's a corrupt, poor little Dublin-centric mafia nation in many ways, and desperately wants to be a pro

But if the admins of the site cared more about integrity than pure profit, they'd put in a simple heuristic to filter this shit. So one way or another, they're culpable; and more so if this is a known phenomenon.
