April fool's!

 

Wow! Didn't know it'd be that simple.

For three years there has been a bug report around 4K@120Hz being unavailable via HDMI 2.1 on the AMD Linux driver.

The wait continues...

 

Having recently picked up woodworking after building my own office desk, this hit rather close to home.

How did you delimit the leaf pattern so evenly around the circumference of the brim of the bowl? Did you use a rotary indexer and a wood burning jig?

Like a file tree view with respect to the context directory? Could be nice if it color coded the file by matching with the respective .dockerignore file as well. I'm always second guessing if I edited the ignore file correctly just after running docker build. Not like I can use git CLI to check if the .dockerignore change was interpreted as intended.

Private Eye - essential for staying online 24/7

What was that device, an early cellular modem or 802.11 wireless bridge? The thing ontop of the briefcase looks like a head visor with an antenna. Google search keywords are just noise.

I'll note that when using multiple windows, I recall that switching the user in one window would switch the user for all other windows as well, so support for simultaneous user sessions would probably have to be added as well.

Do we have a community for computer architectures or computer science on this instance or anywhere else?

Call it WebOS or something.

Kind of off topic, but webOS was in fact a thing, but more of mobile OS alternative to android and iOS, first developed by palm, the bought by HP, then sold to LG.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebOS

It had a small but active homebrew community, with the HP touchpad being one of the early tablets on the market with an unlocked bootloader and Linux support.

This is funny. @Ategon@programming.dev , could this bot include any citations? I was just curious about the source or context, as I'd guess it would have stirred up a debate. My guess is that this may have been a tweet or blog except, but it'd been fun to have a link to the direct source. Not sure that's available from the DB source these quotes are being pulled from.

I don't know of many recorded audio books, but you could also use a Text to Speech engine to listen to any technical blogs or articles. I use Android apps like Pocket or T2S to queue up a backlog of TODO read items, then when I'm out for a long walk, I can just press play and let the TTS do it's thing. Of course, I curate this list for longer pure text reads, devoid of code snippets, equations, or visual graphics that TTS would have a tough time conveying over audio.

Looks like I may need to find a successor to pocket. They do a great job scraping connect via readable mode, but I'd like to find a shelf hosted or mobile+offline app equivalent for queuing up web articles, just in case pocket gets cut from further development by Mozilla management.

Guess the author's click bait'y title was too much. I'll withdraw their video then.
