I had one of those to charge a bicycle headlight. I gave it away with the bicycle, but in the span of time I had it, one visiting guest borrowed it to recharge a portable generic USB battery pack. So there you go, two…
Well, you can do 3.5 Mbps ADSL over wet string[0], which is about 5 channels of uncompressed 16-bit PCM at 44.1 KHz. [0]: https://www.revk.uk/2017/12/its-official-adsl-works-over-wet...
“Terrible inefficient workflows”, like having to prompt Claude to change one or two words in a file rather than just manually editing it, because it gets confused when the file changes out from under it and will later…
Are very many of them time travellers?

For those who haven't made the connection, Cockos, the company who make REAPER, is run by Justin Frankel, previously the founder of Nullsoft, the company who made Winamp. REAPER very much carries the Winamp torch of…
My understanding is that the Qt 6 build system is vastly easier to work with. Also, Audacity is not the first major FOSS project to successfully migrate from wxWidgets to Qt: Dolphin, the GameCube/Wii emulator, made a…

Thank you, that forum post carries all the explanation I was looking for.
Handy for those four people left who want to author DVDs, but this is extremely light on details. How does it compare to the venerable HCenc[0]? Why does the VideoLAN x262 project page[1], the source for which hasn't…
Historically, in a world of analogue phone lines, spoofed phone numbers were a legitimate feature: if my business has more than one phone line, each of those lines is going to have its own distinct number; but I'm going…
Ah, interesting. Searching the dataset for my local area, this seems to include some restaurants, but omits hotels entirely. That's skewing the numbers downward tremendously.
I think the parent was referring to using awk/sed to do the equivalent of: find ... | tr '\n' '\0' | xargs -0 ... I.e., a blind replacement without the tool having any particular semantic understanding of what it's…
Yeah, the default [homes] share is really not necessary on a home network where you really just want a common share. On my home storage server, I just have a “files” user, and a corresponding, anonymously…
Some other things I find useful on NASes: Install avahi-daemon. Samba will automatically register with it to advertise SMB/CIFS to macOS and Linux clients over DNS-SD. Install wsdd2 so that your server will be…
Every distro does this. That's what a distro is.
As I'm sure you know but some others might not, the random brands with unpronounceable names (as opposed to no specific names at all) are also a problem that Amazon has created:…
Oh, interesting – I'd missed that Apple had shipped any laptops with Core Solo/Core Duo processors, or any with dGPUs. Fascinating.
The CPUs were powerful enough, sure. The GPUs (Intel GMA950) absolutely weren't. Even on Windows with better drivers, Half-Life 2 is a slideshow on that class of hardware.
In 2004, sure, but Valve didn't (publicly) ship Mac OS X software before 2010.
Only the very first few models of Intel Macs had strictly 32-bit processors (the 2006 iMac and Mac minis with Core Solo/Core Duo processors), and none of them were realistically capable of playing Half-Life 2. Apple is…

No, they blocked the UK because it was either that or open themselves up to £18m in fine liability thanks to the Online Safety Act[0]. Social media sites which are unable or unwilling to operate strict, full-time…
