To me it's the opposite: I expect to be able to read the note which is on screen indefinitely , that is: exactly how I leave a notebook open on a page. Physical security is a non-issue in this class of device IMHO. It's the same

I had a ticket on this. There's no reason not to write "device is off" on the banner which is already there in sleep mode. A notebook doesn't make the note disappear.

Perfectly understandable. If matrix took off a little more, we might see an increase in resources for the official homeserver, or see more peered homeservers becoming popular (as people today get a gmail account and expect to work with user

But nobody is forcing you to use matrix.org, and if you have the resources it's easy to run a separate instance with peering, so that you get both the benefits of being able to communicate with everyone and have a faster/locally

I used company-provided dell/lenovo laptops for more than a decade. This isn't specific to the 12th gen intel version. Intel GPU issues on linux were/[are?] omnipresent. Aside from a few lucky generations, for me it always to

Having alternate implementations is never a bad thing. I spent some time to get lsp-mode working earlier this year. It took me more time to declutter the amount of stuff it put on screen than what it took to setup. In fact they have a page

I was using it at that time as my main desktop OS. I ported and wrote several tools of it. The gui itself was simple, nice to use and to program for. Driver support wasn't extensive, but the available drivers were working fine. With qn

Thanks for the very detailed reply. Evaluating NURBS is useful, but you piqued my interested in the reverse operation. For a moment I almost had the impression we could specify CSG operations based on features extracted from the BREP recons

Isn't Pro/E a b-rep cad? BRL-CAD is one of the few "full-fledged" CAD systems that I know of which is explicitly CSG, while most (all?) commercial CAD programs are B-REP in nature. CSG and B-REP are two worlds apart. I&#

I think the design is brilliant. Nice 4:3 ratio. This essentially doubles as a full screen you can put anywhere with a keyboard always at hand. That's how I use my laptop 99.9% of the time. The microsoft book is already better than a r

You can have a complete tcp/ip stack and an embedded web server in a 8bit micro using only a handful kilobytes of ram. This is (used?) to be a good way to service super-simple configuration to the user without having to connect through

I bought the full set of Pragmata Pro on sale, but I also really like Iosevka. If you like the style (slender/condensed), both are very appealing. Pragmata Pro is several notches above in overall quality IMHO. Hand-hinting at smaller s

Would be nice to know what other people recommend for UPSs with sine-wave output. Small APC units are pretty crappy by my own experience as well, especially if you go below 700VA. I've used several 1000VA back-ups, smart-ups, and while

It's a very subjective view, but while I do absolutely recommend for every single system to have SPF at the very minimum, I didn't see any practical advantage for spam filtering for newer proposals such as DMARC/DKIM. Any spa
