KeyBoardG··on GitHub Copilot code review will start consuming GitHub Actions minutes
There is a free tier for on-prem TeamCity.
KeyBoardG··on OpenSUSE Kalpa
Are they still managing versions and rollback via BTRFS snapshots?
KeyBoardG··on AMD Am386 released March 2, 1991
The TI-99/8 looks like it would have been awesome. It solved the issues of the 99/4a, had improved basic and pascal built in, all while being backward compatible.
KeyBoardG··on The Waymo World Model
and I literally just saw the other headline "Waymo says its robotaxis get help from remote workers in the Philippines"
KeyBoardG··on SailfishOS: A Linux-based European alternative to dominant mobile OSes
I currently have hopes / am watching Apostrophy who are building on top of Graphene but at least they acknowledge that people need Google Play and are attempting to support that while not sacrificing the entire device to privacy issues. https://www.apostrophy.ch
KeyBoardG··on Pasta/80 is a simple Pascal cross compiler targeting the Z80 microprocessor
This is great to see. I have played around with Turbo Rascal Syntax Error and will give this a shot. SpeccyNext coming when round 3 ships.
KeyBoardG··on Deepseek R1-0528
There will be a video from FireShip if its a big one. /s
KeyBoardG··on Ozempic's biggest side effect: Turning Denmark into a 'pharmastate'?
Well its an amphetamine, so there's that.
KeyBoardG··on Proton launches its own version of Google Docs
It is interesting to watch them try to grow so quickly. At some point they'll need to turn more profit to hold all this scale up. We'll see if they can stick to the privacy claims or start to sell out.
KeyBoardG··on Lamini Memory Tuning: 10x Fewer Hallucinations
10x less is a weird way of saying 90% less, or better yet reduced to 10% from before.
KeyBoardG··on Faircamp is a free Bandcamp alternative
Yes, I was waiting to see a Basecamp alternative written in PHP :D
KeyBoardG··on Do you really need foreign keys?
Unless your project is small and for learning, or won't be around for very long, Yes. You absolutely do or will end up in a technical debt world of hurt. I have worked on systems without them that are 15+ years old and the vast, vast majority of fixes and refactoring were self inflicted wounds like this. We added FK's and indexes where necessary and wound up faster and safer.
KeyBoardG··on Jim Keller and his pioneering work on chip design and architecture
Also at Tesla. He got really started at DEC on the Alpha processor, which was also world class and surrounded by industry pioneers.
KeyBoardG··on Win11Debloat is a simple script that removes pre-installed windows bloatware
He sells it wrapped in an EXE for $10. That provides incentive to not make things easy or follow any best practices.

My pain threshold was crossed this past week when Edge added a Bing search bar to the middle of the Windows desktop. Even though the default search bar 4 inches away already searches Bing, and the Weather applet by the clock now has sensationalist news forced into it.
KeyBoardG··on Win11Debloat is a simple script that removes pre-installed windows bloatware
Some people are stuck due to driver support. As streaming has been growing, ElGato has zero official support for Linux. I solved this by relegating Windows to a tiny 1 liter PC after enough Windows anti-patterns.
KeyBoardG··on Win11Debloat is a simple script that removes pre-installed windows bloatware
It looks neat, but running off of his site directly via an administrator elevated powershell is an awful security practice.
KeyBoardG··on AMD Ryzen 8000 Strix Point APUs Utilize 12-Core Zen 5 and Zen 5C Hybrid Config
I'm surprised that WCCF tech is getting on the HN front page. They are known for just running with any inkling of a rumor, or even just jumping to their own wild conclusions and running articles on that.
KeyBoardG··on Jim Keller on AI, RISC-V, Tenstorrent’s Move to Edge IP
Sally Foxton-Ward (EETimes) and Ian Cuttress (TechTechPotato) started a podcast (only 2 episodes so far I think) listing through companies and what they do. I agree it is very hard to follow with companies coming and going.

KeyBoardG··on Framework Laptop 16
Awesome. Thanks!!
KeyBoardG··on Framework Laptop 16
How crumb tight are the lines on the deck with the different panels on the 16? Are they held only by magnets, such that lateral pressure could cause them to move?
KeyBoardG··on Welcome to Hell, Elon
Even if Twitter is a complete financial loss (and I think he will lose a lot of it), Elon will still be a billionaire. His personal life will feel zero of that impact.
KeyBoardG··on AmigaOS 4.1: Introduction to the Software Development Kit v54.16, part 1
Win-UAE, or FS-UAE is a very accurate emualtor.

If you pick up Amiga-Forever from Cloanto, it is repackaged with a new UI, official ROMS (Cloanto owns the Trademark), and a bunch of pre-configured machines.

Amiga OS 3.X and 4.X are different beasts, and both continue to get updates.

KeyBoardG··on AmigaOS 4.1: Introduction to the Software Development Kit v54.16, part 1
So you can now compile C on an Amiga OS 4.1. TBH, I didn't know you couldn't do this before. Most of the Amiga community that I have seen run the 3.X branch on 68k classic machines.
KeyBoardG··on RISC-V Laptop now available
Was this article written by a bot fed input from the marketing team? Such short, choppy, and malformed sentences reads as fake.
KeyBoardG··on Ladybird: A new cross-platform browser project
You could submit some defects or documentation to the open project. It is 100% community driven.
KeyBoardG··on Ladybird: A new cross-platform browser project
Andreas gets asked these questions weekly (probably daily), and answers in his FAQ. Its not to compete, or be a business.

KeyBoardG··on AMD Receives Approval for Acquisition of Xilinx
I see it as a data center play. SmartNic, DPU, etc. I'd love to play with a FPGA co-processor in my workstation, but I doubt that is the goal.
KeyBoardG··on AMD Receives Approval for Acquisition of Xilinx
Agreed, although Switch uses NVidia Tegra, not AMD this generation.
KeyBoardG··on Winamp source code leak
I would use Winamp, but at some point in the last decade I switched to Foobar2000 because its simple and has great FLAC support. At the time getting Winamp to do FLAC involved some weird add on.
