opencl··on Dual 75“ 4K TV Floor Computing
Does the 4K 120Hz actually work properly? There are a lot of TVs that claim to support 4K 120Hz but actually display the signal at half vertical resolution as 3840x1080.
opencl··on Using FujiFilm SDK on a Camera Voids Its Warranty
The SDK basically gives remote shutter control and file transfer. There is nothing in it that could plausibly damage anything.
opencl··on John Roach has died
Microcenter is probably the closest thing left to that niche now. They have pretty decent 3D printing and DIY electronics sections.
opencl··on Nvidia Grace CPU
It's viable in the sense that you can just stick a server motherboard inside of a desktop case. It certainly won't be cheap though.

This has been done as a commercial product with the Ampere ARM server chips. The base model is about $8k.

opencl··on Connecting a gaming PC to Apple Studio Display
Really I think the worst part of driving this monitor with plain displayport is that there's no way to control the brightness, just like the LG 5K.
opencl··on To avoid Finland’s tax a 1,000HP imported Hennessey RAM is limited to 55MPH
Back in the day the R32 GT-R had a boost restrictor marked in bright yellow. Removing it gave an extra ~4PSI from the turbos good for about 60 extra HP.
opencl··on iMac G4 to M1 conversion process
It's not hard to find 4K 17" panels as spare parts for laptops, but they're generally 16:9 rather than 16:10.
opencl··on $1 Microcontrollers (2017)
The RP2040 actually has built in 12Mbps USB 1.1, no serial bridge required. But if you do want to use a serial to USB bridge the max baud rate is 921600.
opencl··on Flutter is the most popular cross-platform mobile SDK
I'm not sure how it's implemented, but Flutter does work with screen readers.

opencl··on Windows 11 Pro will soon require a Microsoft Account during initial setup
The loophole for years has been not being connected to the internet, they're getting rid of that.

Buying LTSC licenses as an individual is not particularly easy or cheap.

opencl··on Google Release Chrome OS Flex
You can already do this with Neverware CloudReady, which Chrome OS Flex is basically a rebrand of.

opencl··on Virtual machines with KVM on Pixel 6 and Android 13 DP1
There have also been a few projects to boot the ARM version of Windows on various Android phones, no VM involved. None of them really have good enough driver support to use as a daily driver though.

For example this one[1] for the Oneplus 6/6T.

opencl··on Ask HN: Getting film developed cheap in the US
There have been a few 'magic machines' for developing film over the last few years, but they are not cheap. i.e. the Filmomat[1] costs 4K Euros.

There are also some simpler products that just make the process a little easier, like the Lab Box[2] which basically just offers an easier way to load the film onto the spool. Developing B&W film with this type of machine is pretty easy and the chemicals are cheap.

opencl··on Lies that powered the invention of Pong
It's been done, the schematics are readily available and the chips are still easy to find (technically not the original 74xx models, but the pin-compatible 74LS and 74HC series).

opencl··on How E Ink developed full-color e-paper
They didn't work around any patents, they buy the panels from the company holding the patents.

This is the panel you'll find in the Dasung and Mira monitors: https://shopkits.eink.com/product/25-3%cb%9d-spectra-3100-ep...

opencl··on Power, frequency, management: how M1 E cores win
The graviton chips are not an in house architecture, the cores are designed by and licenced from ARM.
opencl··on Python, unlike C, has the mod operator always return a positive number
There are a lot of C compilers out there, and many of them have not implemented all of C99. Microsoft started to add C99 features in MSVC2013 and still doesn't support the whole spec.

The C compilers supplied by microcontroller vendors in particular are often, to put it charitably, not great at conforming with the latest standards.

opencl··on Elementary OS 6.1
The Pop OS shop is a fork of Elementary's Appcenter.
opencl··on “With those changes we're up to a 94% pass rate for dEQP-GLES2”
Those last few percent are a huge amount of work, they were at 93% in July.

opencl··on Compiling code into silicon
As far as I can tell this project is not about compiling Python into hardware. It's a build tool for Verilog written in Python.
opencl··on Mini-ITX Seaberry Adds 11 PCIe Slots to a Raspberry Pi
A 4 lane PCIe switch would allow for a much cheaper board and still be plenty to saturate the available bandwidth. Maybe 2x 2.5Gbe with one hooked to a switch, plus wifi.

Around this price point there are already ARM boards (and passively cooled x86 machines) available much better suited to this kind of use case, like the Honeycomb LX2K.

opencl··on Benchmarking the Apple M1 Max
The M1 Max 32 core GPU is ~1/8 the performance of the 3090. 4x the core count should put it half of 3090 performance, not double.
opencl··on TPM Sniffing
TPM 2.0 allows communications over the bus to be encrypted specifically to prevent this attack, though Windows apparently does not actually use this feature[0].

Newer CPUs (since about 5 years ago) have the TPM embedded in the CPU. Intel calls this PTT and AMD calls it fTPM.

opencl··on Firefox Relay
You only get the bubbles if you install the extension.
opencl··on People exposed to lead in Flint, Mich., water will get a $626M settlement
The actual paper is here, complete with graphs: https://www.jpeds.com/article/S0022-3476(17)31758-4/fulltext
opencl··on AMD Gives Details on EPYC Zen4: Genoa and Bergamo, Up to 96 and 128 Cores
It's still there in the server chips, they just removed it from consumer parts.

It's actually there in Alder Lake's performance cores and can be used on at least some motherboards if the efficiency cores are disabled.

opencl··on Show HN: I built a CNC-machine from scratch, using 40x 3D-printed parts
Most of the small hobbyist machines I've seen (including this one) use Grbl, and Grbl does support G02/G03.
opencl··on Fedora 35
You can install an extension (i.e. dash to dock) to make the launcher ever-present on whichever side of the screen you want. The main downside is that the extensions always break on GNOME upgrades and take a little while to get fixed.
opencl··on The Common Desktop Environment (CDE) in 2021
Modern is probably a stretch but it is certainly still being developed.

You can see the commit log at https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/code/ci/9ca0cf7545500a...

opencl··on Feature comparison of ack, ag, Git-grep, grep and ripgrep
If you follow the "If you have updates to the chart, please submit as a GitHub issue." link, you can see that there are a few dozen open issues and the page was last updated 2 years ago.
