Misses the video gaming and computing of the 80s and the classical web of the 90s.

tarek_computer··on Coming from Firefox, is Vivaldi better?
Yes, but sometimes I wonder if Firefox is still fully open source. I still hate having to do the first thing first when I install the browser is disable Pocket, change the default search from Google to DuckDuckGo (the latter is a recent disappointment). I miss the traditional / classical browsing of the 90s. Heck, I will pay for a browser that brings back the 90s experience.
tarek_computer··on Coming from Firefox, is Vivaldi better?
Yes. Offshoot of Opera and based on Chromium. Brave did the same with being an offshoot of Chrome. I never took real notice of them or considered using them. When they offered RSS and mail-integration, it sounded to me like they are trying to differentiate themselves and want to tap into the traditional web that may have been forgotten by mainstream browsers. Hence my question. Is Vivaldi browser worth it?
tarek_computer··on Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen3 Review – with Linux
I am running Arch Linux with Kernel 5.17.5-arch1-1. The speakers do work fine on Windows but for some reason I cannot get them both to work in Linux? Whatever settings I do using Arch's wiki, I can get everything working fine with external speakers, Bluetooth speakers, headphones, but just not the right-sided speaker. Not sure if anyone has the same issue.

Anyone with P1 Gen 2 had issues with the built_in speakers? I can only get the right-sided speaker to work even after replacing them.

tarek_computer··on Ask HN: Favorite note-taking software?
firefox notes for quick notes, dropbox paper is not bad, and zotero for more detailed research note taking. I frequently just open VIM with Pencil/mark down and take notes directly onto a Dropbox folder.
tarek_computer··on Ask HN: What is your note-taking workflow?
Smart notebook using Everlast - write, scan and upload to MS OneNote then wipe and erase; research papers markup via Zotero annotators. My quick note taking is usually through Bear app on Mac/iOS which supports Markdown and on-the-fly hashtag creation while typing. Most important is to do proper tagging and organizing notes in some structure for future use or else you pile your notes for no apparent use.
