In the original open computers the limiting factor was the interface between the mod block and the outside world, 6 sides on that block correspond to 6 signals. For a large array as proposed you can network many mod blocks together behind t

I do one reasonably weak cup with lots of creamer first thing in the morning with breakfast. Then, on a normal day, I have mostly water. This solves two problems for me: (1) by the end of my typical day, enough caffeine has flushed back out

VLC's killer feature, for me, is "this folder is full of music files. Play them in order." It seems most other music apps heavily prioritize artist and album search, which is great if you listen to mainstream music and not so

On the flip side, for those of us who enjoy this sort of hardware hackery, this is a reasonable price for this collection of parts all conveniently wired up and ready for the fun part.

I won't buy a laptop without one these days. I instinctively reach over to my 10 key to enter numbers, since I can touch type there. With the row above my standard keyboard I have to look down. I'd wager they're popular for o

This is precisely why I own several game consoles. If I really want to play a game from known shady publishers (Ubisoft especially), it goes on the PS4 which has nothing on it that I actually care about. Go ahead, mess with Sony's OS,

Ah, perhaps it has been misinterpreted. That was not my intent. "Take occasional breaks, they seem to help" was the goal, not "stop entirely and never start again."

I definitely recommend checking out your local public library, or going for a long walk in a nearby park. Don't take your phone. Allow yourself to be bored. Let your mind wander. Once you get over the weird feeling, and the anxiousne

Yes! This update goes so far as to blend chunks around the seams, and will fill out the new cave generation at the bottom of your existing world, replacing the bedrock with deepslate. I'm itching to dive in again once the holidays sett

Not if a react component is reimplementing a textarea with JavaScript, which I've encountered in some enterprise apps. It's mildly infuriating, and breaks in lots of subtle ways.

I'm mostly ignorant of the mobile space, but how plausible would it be to get PureOS installed on an existing handset? I'm guessing the process is considerably more involved than an Android ROM, but how crazy are we talking?

My biggest question is, if I buy this phone today, with AT&T allow it on their network? My gut says no, they've been brandishing an ugly whitelist around for their big LTE push in February...

Hmm. I wonder how much revenue is Mozilla expecting from this deal? How much would a crowdfunding effort need to raise, month to month, to buy out 100% of the ad space?

Maybe they'll notice that when I launch the game on Linux, I get about 10-20 FPS boost over Windows on identical hardware. I've always wondered about that; in theory shouldn't it be the reverse?

That's extremely cool, thanks a bunch for the clarification! I'm working on an NES emulator that runs in the browser, and while it's not fit for purpose yet (lacks save states and recorded-input playback), this might just i

Most gameboy games use banked memory, swapped in as 16k chunks. I'd wager a guess that the recording process monitors what chunks get banked in during the recorded gameplay, removes any bank that isn't used, and then restarts the

In many games I would expect this to be the same as the clientside render distance for the door object, which isn't especially expensive to compute. The server has at least a rough approximation of this distance at all times, affected

Only if you are running Google Play services. You can certainly opt out of this if you like. I run LineageOS and do just that, but I also don't need my phone for much more than the basics, and F-Droid can fill those in for my use case.
