thejsa··on ICQ New
Mysterious ways indeed... Somehow I remember and can recite a 16 character hex ID for my account on Flipnote Studio on the Nintendo DS
thejsa··on New iPad Pro with LiDAR Scanner and trackpad support
Having to re-sign one’s apps every seven days (or pay $99/yr) barely counts, IMO; but yes, jailbreaking is easier than ever on any iPhone s as recent as the X/8.
thejsa··on Instagram took down private unofficial APIs via DMCA
GitHub waits fourteen days for the complainant to respond to your counter-notice before putting your repo back up, from experience :/

In addition, they won't even give you any info they hold on the complainant other than that explicitly included in the notice itself, claiming 'data protection' (some troll hit a bunch of my repositories with fraudulent takedowns in two waves, meaning it took about a month before they were all restored)

thejsa··on FreeBSD is an amazing operating system
The Switch doesn't run on FreeBSD but rather a custom microkernel operating system called Horizon, which is an evolution of the OS on the Nintendo 3DS.

Nintendo do use some code from the FreeBSD kernel in the network / sockets stack though - https://switchbrew.org/wiki/Sockets_services

thejsa··on What is wrong with all those AArch64 desktops?
> Measurable with an oscilloscope though. Not your ears.

Admittedly I’m running a pretty budget setup, so modern systems may have improved measurably, but I’ve noticed on both my desktop and my laptop (with 2010 Intel 5 Series chipsets) the onboard audio line out gets really noisy, so much so that I can hear different kinds of buzzing when I move the mouse and scroll :) Wouldn’t call myself an audiophile by any means either, haha.
