Closest you’ll likely get for that closed source operating system is “Install Windows the Arch Way”: https://christitus.com/install-windows-the-arch-linux-way/

Not really. It’s a very complicated, highly sophisticated piece of software written for native iOS. And the market is small. By rewriting it for Android, the only market share they could expect to get would be what they can steal from Garmin’s Android install base - which the Play store notes as “100K+” downloads. And we haven’t begun to consider the explosion of the hardware/software testing matrix.

With all due respect, I would hope that anything you could do with ADSB-out data is something that the US military has already tried.

I'm the opposite. They're too slippery without a case. Also helps get rid of the camera bumps.

New iPhones are announced yearly, but the average smartphone consumer keeps their device for between 2 and 3 years.[0] iPhones in particular have extended lifecycles; an informal 9to5 Mac poll in 2021 (biased towards enthusiasts) had roughly 4 in 5 people waiting at least 2 years, with almost half of polled users 3 years or more.[1]

So what's actually happening is that the yearly iPhone rush is only a small fraction of the install base upgrading. Sure, there are a few uber enthusiasts that may upgrade every year, but those are a minority, and it's not like those phones go direct to landfills - they're resold. And since there are more opportunities to upgrade, fewer are attempting to upgrade simultaneously, straining supply chains and making Apple's income fluctuate more heavily.

If your application can be used to make outbound requests to the internet (and so many apps can be), you can easily make a GET against localhost. There are ways to lock that down, but they aren’t automatic.

Some streaming boxes will do exactly that; both Apple’s and Amazon’s will, and perhaps others. For example, if you search for a movie or TV show on Fire TV or in the Apple TV app (on that box) it’ll show you the title and what services currently have it available. Searching for Stranger Things and House on Apple TV, for example, return links into Netflix or the Prime Video app (where I’ve been watching the latter).

Considering the repo dates back to 2010 (predating Rust by 4+ years), there probably wasn’t a better option that could run on the embedded devices that OpenWRT targets.

I remember it as "grep for a needle in a haystack"

I’d rather reach down in the plane and pick something off the floor than do the same in my car. Especially if the plane has a half decent autopilot.

I realize this is an anecdote, not data, but after flying my own plane for 5 years and getting >500 hours of flight time, plus soldering off and on for 30 years with leaded solder, my lead levels were fine at my last physical. I don’t drink avgas or anything, but don’t take precautions other than attempting to avoid getting it on bare skin.

I'm familiar with why they sell it as 940mbps vs gigabit; that doesn't concern me. I also don't buy the explanations of MTU, accurate timing, etc for one big reason: other sites like Speedtest.net and the Cloudflare speed test we're on the discussion thread for simply do not have this problem.

And of course, I'd not expect them to want me to pull down 1gbps of streaming video. But I would expect them to burst my connection when downloading videos for offline viewing, their own bandwidth permitting. Unused bandwidth at a point in time is wasted bandwidth. But more central to my original point, I'd also expect their browser-based speed test to not claim I'm going faster than is physically possible. Let's be honest - however they're measuring the actual connection speeds is not as accurate as some of the alternatives on the same playing field.

Fast.com frequently tells me speeds that cannot exist. Why yes, I am definitely getting 1.2gbps over this gigabit Ethernet and 940mbps Internet connection.

It’s super easy to setup CUPS to do AirPrint nowadays. I have a small container on my Proxmox box that just runs CUPS and talks to the printer over the network.

I know that’s not accessible for the tech un-savvy, but it’s there for those of us that are.

Oh no. No way you’re suckering me back into this. I have way too much to do today!

My partner and I don’t go often, but when we do we order one main and a slice of cheesecake. Maybe a smaller appetizer if we’re particularly hungry. It’s a ton of food but it’s a good amount for two.

My old Skylake board in a really old Antec case is my NAS, a Lenovo m720q with a dual Intel 10gbe NIC is my router, and an HP EliteDesk mini with a 7th gen Intel chip (i5? Don’t recall) runs various VMs.

How do you access your remote development machine? Is it a graphic connection / can you use an IDE?

I love the idea of a powerful remote development machine but I’ve yet to find a tolerable RDP/VNC-type connection, and that leaves either something browser-based (VS Code maybe?) or something like JetBrains’ remote development tools which aren’t quite there yet.

What’s interesting about this? Looks like typical marketing copy.

It's not the full mathematics major, but double majoring in both CS and Math at my university was common. And a CS major who wanted a Math minor needed no additional coursework.

I just watched the MLB All-Star game OTA yesterday. We also watched the Jeopardy Masters Tournament a few weeks ago. And we do tend to pick up the local news in small doses just to see what’s up around town.

We do stream more than we watch OTA, but when I’m using an antenna I bought almost a decade ago and a HDHomeRun that doesn’t have a recurring cost, it still has its uses.

With the ability to opt out, the anonymity, and the lack of third party involvement, this seems like a reasonable proposal.

The T430 is a rugged laptop, but it’s getting pretty far up there in age. For example, I use mine in the shop to read PDFs, update the project’s Trello board, fetch software updates and drop them on SD cards, etc.

I used to think Trello kinda lagged. Great tool, but man it’s kinda slow. Then I opened it on a modern computer - it’s just the old hardware holding it back. Same with PDFs - these are graphical 11x17 pages, and it really does get bogged down easy. You’re gonna be amazed how much faster everything feels when you get to the newer machine.

Part of me has been wondering if the noises being heard might be an unexpected discovery of a military (Russian, Chinese, US) submarine operating in the general area. Don’t they submerge for long periods of time without comms?

They’re not hugely commonplace yet, but video cards with USB-C ports are available without being super specialized equipment.

Nvidia had some on the 2000 series GPUs but dropped them with the 3000 series. This was part of the VirtualLink system which failed, but they’re otherwise fully functional.

Some of AMD’s newest cards have USB-C ports on them now: https://www.amd.com/en/products/graphics/amd-radeon-rx-7900x...

The irony is they already did that with Alien Blue, and now we’re here.

I mean, WordPress has been around for decades. Substack came along and basically made “WordPress with subscriptions” - so now WP has that functionality too.

It's not quite what OP suggested, Joshua Weissman's Unapologetic Cookbook does something similar. The first section is literally, "A Little Cooking Foundation" and the first subsection is "Staples From Scratch." It's not comprehensive, but it is cohesive - by the end, you're using recipes from the beginning.

He's also got a YouTube channel that's pretty fun to watch.

That said, be careful what you wish for. My partner and I joke that he's pretty over the top sometimes. For example, the first part of that book includes recipes for butter and Ranch dressing. I'm sure they'll taste amazing, but if you're trying to make dinner after work, it'll be late by the time you get to eat, vs. just using stuff off the supermarket shelf. Really depends on what you're trying to get out of a cookbook.

Seems to be a trend. Not sure if someone's already coined a term for it, but I've noticed that with each revision, each model of car tends to get a little bigger, a little roomier, etc. Over time they grow - after all, nobody wants to say that last year's model had more legroom and whatnot. Soon, there's no such thing as a small car in the lineup, and a new model is introduced at the bottom, repeating the process.
