lnx01··on When did Google get so weird?
Adjust your browser's search engine setting for Google and set it to append "&udm=14" to the URL, that'll force it to bring up the "Web" tab without annoying useless "helpful" other stuff.
lnx01··on Microsoft killed FoxPro in 2007. Anyway, here's FoxPro revived
The post comment here is 100% packed with LLMisms, so yes.
lnx01··on Microsoft killed FoxPro in 2007. Anyway, here's FoxPro revived
It's incredibly jarring, and subtly nonsensical...
lnx01··on SDL Now Supports DOS
It certainly is not.
lnx01··on Case study: recovery of a corrupted 12 TB multi-device pool
bulletproof/bulletproof/bulletproof .... Gemini LLM
lnx01··on NASA’s Artemis II Crew Launches to the Moon
I doubt it, SLS and Artemis predate 'For all mankind' by many years.
lnx01··on Swappa.com for GrapheneOS compatible devices – Stay Away
In the context of an online marketplace "Unlocked" means "Not carrier locked". This has _nothing_ to do with the bootloader.

lnx01··on Wayland set the Linux Desktop back by 10 years?
Running X11 on Ubuntu 22.04 - I have a 2650x1600 main at 150% scale and a 1920x1980 secondary at 100% scale. Essentially they're the same virtual size side-by-side. This _only_ works on my nVidia GPU...
lnx01··on Why the global elite gave up on spelling and grammar
The "enriewu" thing wasn't a misspelling of "en route", it was someone's name who had arrived in Miami with Jean-Luc and Peggy. It's probably a misspelling of Henry pronounced in French.
lnx01··on Scaling LLMs to Larger Codebases
LLMs are so good at telling me about things I know little to nothing about, but when when I ask about things I have expert knowledge on they consistently fail, hallucinate, and confidently lie...

MacOS, iOS, Windows, and Linux
lnx01··on Making Google Sans Flex
It should not be possible for a webpage to change my mouse cursor.
lnx01··on Why are my headphones buzzing whenever I run my game?
25 years ago my 3.5mm jack headphones would buzz whenever I moved the mouse... Bzzzzzzzzz,tk, tk, tk ,tk, bzzzzzzz, tk, tk, tk, tk, tk....
lnx01··on Africa's forests have switched from absorbing to emitting carbon
The vast majority of carbon in trees is pulled from the atmosphere during growth. A dead tree is still made of organic molecules, which have carbon in them. So trees are not "Carbon Neutral", they're "Carbon Negative" until the wood is burned, or it decomposes enough to become crude oil and then, well...
lnx01··on I didn't bring my son to a museum to look at screens
The most fun I've ever had in a museum was at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas. The exhibits are interactive, educational, fun... mostly for kids...

I was 33 years old... I'd love to go back and do it all again.

lnx01··on Dancing brainwaves: How sound reshapes your brain networks in real time
green-needle/brain-storm would disagree with you!
lnx01··on Samsung is paying $350M for audio brands B&W, Denon, Marantz and Polk
I really hope they bring back the Denon AK-DL3
lnx01··on Making a smart bike dumb so it works again
I would imagine it's minimal. I'll never forget a demo I played with at a Science museum as a kid. A dynamo with a crank you can turn, and set of switches that allow you to turn on one, two, or three incandescent bulbs. The crank turns freely without load, and is increasingly more difficult to turn as load is added.
lnx01··on Waterfox: Fast and Private Web Browser
Waterfox isn't new, its first release was in 2011. I used to run it because they had an x86-64 build when Firefox didn't.
lnx01··on Turning Off Zen 4's Op Cache for Curiosity and Giggles
I ran mitigations=off on my Zen4 until I saw that phoronix article and realised that in most workloads it made essentially no difference, and even harmed performance in others. I no longer run mitigations=off. But on my old i7 7700HQ mitigations=off improved performance by 10-20% depending on workload.

lnx01··on CrowdStrike Update: Windows Bluescreen and Boot Loops
It runs at Ring 0, there's no lower ring (besides maybe IME and the like).
lnx01··on My Windows Computer Just Doesn't Feel Like Mine Anymore
Removing snaps is trivial.
lnx01··on MOnSter 6502: a working transistor-scale replica of the classic MOS 6502
The Apple A8X, found in the iPad Air 2, contains about 3 billion transistors. (This is comparable to the number of transistors in modern desktop computer CPUs as well.) At the scale of the MOnSter 6502, that would take about 885,000 square feet (over 20 acres or 8 hectares) — an area about 940 ft (286 m) square.
lnx01··on Unexpected responses from ChatGPT: Incident Report
Reminds me of Timecube. https://web.archive.org/web/20150818094035/http://www.timecu...
lnx01··on Fix date-handling bug when today’s date is later than the target month
ISO8601 or death
lnx01··on mAh Is an Industry Mistake
And Ah is a measurement of charge, it reduces to Coulombs. Amps is couloumbs per second (Q/t), if you multiply by time again you get (Qt/t) which is just Q, or charge.
lnx01··on The Password Game
I gave up when I needed to represent the best chess move in algebraic notation, but I couldn't because the text from the captcha I had to solve earlier contained an illegal move... rage
lnx01··on Merging bcachefs
I can't help but wonder how that conversation happened: Ya so we're going to root canal your molar, ah and by the way patient data is on btrfs which is only slightly worse...
