Huh always thought because of the blue LEDs it was electronic and dismissed it as "nice but would have been better if mechanical", turns out it it's actually a feat of mechanical clockmaking.

Oh go on then, a duopoly with fairly entrenched user bases and no real chance of additional players.

There is a UI problem on GH with forks. (From my limited experience) most profiles that are full of forks the person just uses forks like they would stars. No branches or PRs made. I'd guess, cynically, this is to fill out their profil

Hits the nail on the head so perfectly. It's why we're using Figma at work after a mix of Indesign/Sketch/Zeplin/Dropbox PDFs.

Have tried, works well. Does have a weird quirk where it'd detect two devices for each speaker, an IPv4 and v6 address. Only the v4 worked and both had the exact same name, mildly irritating. Did try and find docs on disabling discover

Gave up on chromecast for audio recently, had too many issues with discovery of the client. Now using shairport (via the excellent hifiberry os and picoreplayer) on RPis and AirMusic on Android. Seems a bit silly to be using an Apple protoc

Honestly quite like the lack of GUI on mpv. It's my quick viewer for media files and does that job very well. I have a few of the keyboard shortcuts memorised but if I need much more than the basics that's when I reach for VLC.

The "basic bitches" version of the site should be the base, this is a gov website which will be used by the older demographic first. This article got posted here recently: https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/01

Run a DNS server linked to your DHCP. I have a Pi-Hole set up which maps every device on the network to <hostname>.mydomain.uk. If I don't like the hostname (some IoT devices don't allow changing it) I can map a different na

Why would there be "change" in a Bitcoin transaction? Is this: send me £10 in BTC but actually send me £15 in case the price changes and I'll send you back the difference.

Yes and no, bought an EA game on Steam sale recently and starting it opens an Origin modal asking to update. AFAIK the options were 'update' 'auto update' and 'offline'. Offline did not work at all as you need

Found this relatively recently, seems to do a good job. Do love how more consumer services (ISPs &c) always have some report of being down somewhere but its means nothing unless there's a big spike.

Been using https://www.picoreplayer.org/ for a few years after my real Squeezebox hardware died. May take a look at this one for Spotify support. What I really want is something that can do LMS/Squeezebox and be a Goog

Sounds cool but no examples in the README so (lazy) potential users have no idea whether it's worth looking into. Source: I am lazy.

Code I can somewhat understand. Notes and email though should be soft-wrapped where line length is totally up to the client. On mobile: get a 60 char line followed by a 20, and repeat When editing in a basic editor: changing any text half w

Tried OBS on Ubuntu to do this kind of thing at work but it added several seconds of latency. Is this normal and how does OP's app get around this?

Left a comment on the article with similar thoughts https://www.troyhunt.com/iot-unravelled-part-2-ip-addresses-... Pi-hole instead of Unifi's DNS, hostnames either come from the client provided hostname or from a over

Had similar and switched to a cheap used desktop. I was running Home Assistant [1] and my guess is the constant writing of state history into the database slowly killed the card. [1]: https://www.home-assistant.io/

Do you type the repo name, or just copy/paste or select/middle click it? Half of me would want them to put `user-select: none` on that text. The other half has to archive 10+ repos and would hate that!

Getting an Oculus CV1 VR headset working via my mobo's USB was fraught with issues (4 things tyring to run at USB3 speeds). Eventually gave up and bought a known good PCI card. Though I think this was more to do with controller bandwid

Has VNC gotten better with latency? I used it quite a few years ago and compared to remote products from MS and Apple it was sluggish. Commercial remote/thin-client style products at the time were usable as desktop replacements, VNC wa

Just tried Geforce now as I spotted they had a free offering that links to my Steam library. Booted up "Just Cause 3" (first one I spotted that was supported and I had). The first bit of the game has you on top of a plane shooting
