I don't have one, but I assume it's a better Switch. All the existing games work on it, some with enhanced versions (but probably load times are better anyway, right?), and there's new games that only run on the Switch 2. Swi

Incidentally, the early parallel port ZIP drives were really SCSI drives that had a parallel port to scsi converter on the board. Not that you could do anything cool with them, but pricing them lower than one with a SCSI interface is unders

I don't see why that would be an immoral restriction. I don't think it's a reasonable restriction, but unreasonableness doesn't make it immoral. At the same time, if you make an agreement not to program in a rental and t

Writing an OS kernel is fun, but very few OSes have wide adoption. That's not a reasonable goal to have, unless you've got a large customer lined up where your OS fills a need for their product intended for wide distribution. If y

I'm sure there's lots, but lease says no X, tenant insits on doing X seems like a reasonable thing to evict about, but not a reasonable thing to ask the police to adjudicate. At least as long as 'no X' is a reasonably mo

Tentant protection laws are always a matter of degree. Requiring a process in order to evict tennants is a good thing. If the process is unsatisfyable or extremely lengthy, I don't think it's a good thing anymore. There should be

Open source download mirrors often have much better targetting for v4 than v6. Just a few days ago, I was downloading installer images to check an issue and adding -4 to the command line reduced the download time significantly.

It won't add much if you pick an appropriate tunnel server. All my packets go through Seattle, using a Seattle tunnel server adds negligble latency. But as someone else said, being connected with an he.net tunnel gets you marked as und

If it's still running on more than a single core, and your students want it to go faster, aligning the work to cpus will almost certainly be useful. I saw you mentioned windows development elsewhere. You might be interested to know tha
