I do not know if Boston is unique in this regard, but there was a lot of company housing in the region. Where I worked in Longwood (Boston), the offices surrounding me were massive, historic buildings with plaques…
I have followed this approach as well. I use a larger display from further away. I did get a deeper desk to enable this in my current setup. Previously, I mounted my monitor on the wall and moved the desk out ~10"…
Nowadays, I think it is doable with modern displays. My 165Hz 1440p 32" (31.5") LG with 8 bit color and two external speakers consumes ~20W, measured at the wall. My 14" laptop screen is about 19.8% of the area of that…
IMO (i.e, not an expert, only fiddled around with IC design at .18 micron in undergrad), no fast/cheap try-observe cycle. Software for web? I (often) can see the finished product as I'm typing the characters in my IDE.…
They have USB controllers and enough PHYs for 4 USB 3.x ports on AM4. I don't know about serial, but they did have SPI and I2C. AM5, I don't know.
For me it's probably Ghidra or Jetbrains IDEA in 2023. Both are desktop, thought I could see the debate on whether or not developers are considered mainstream consumers. I use them on Linux and Windows, so I definitely…
Wordpad has read docx files for a while now. edit: I just checked my Win11 VM, and Wordpad is included by default. It also reads and writes docx and odt.
Turn the ad off via the settings. Settings->Interface->Notify me about additions or changes[...] Same page also has another option for defaulting to library, community tab, friends, profile - instead of the store.
For the ones that used later gen Nanos (same form factor as early Shuffles) as music devices during running/jogging, the Watch supplanted that role with the added benefit of combining the Nano and fitness bands (GPS,…
MediaTek is pretty decent in terms of open source support for their WiFi chips and SoCs, to the point of continuously supporting a long time OpenWRT developer (Felix Fietkau) to work on their OpenWRT device drivers.…
I have the Power Monitor widget and it does derive from BAT0, according to the source code for the widget. On my laptop BAT0 a bit slow to update, with an update rate of about 0.2Hz. I've also noted my desktop's UPS…
If MI300 counts at 146 billion transistors, than I think we can count Cerebras' Wafer Scale Engine 2. It sits at 2.6 trillion transistors. https://www.anandtech.com/show/16626/cerebras-unveils-wafer-...
GP could be using a double negative. "Less lack of housing."
This somewhat mirrors my own development. I started in C, and am still in it for systems/OS development at work. In UI development, we had older C toolkits, but are replacing them with newer toolkits that are C++. I…
So.... what happens when someone decides it's a smart idea to replace all of those commonly used functions that had physical buttons on the steering wheel with more touch buttons? Let's even say, capacitive touch zones?…
^X is …? It totally obviously means shift + 6 + X. Too bad that doesn’t exit the program. Macs in 2022 have an extra ^ on the correct button.
My native Gsync monitor, a now discontinued LG 32GK(?)650 is quite fast as well. I’ve complained a tiny amount about monitor reviewer blind spots, and this is one of them. The speed of every interaction on this monitor…
Better than a gym I turned down: that one required a fingerprint, then handprint scan. WTF? I didn't buy any of the excuses for it.
I agree with the idea, but it may depend on how the X11 application was written. My experience with X11 over a network (across a city, geographically and distance-wise) was very poor. Slow updates, just extreme latency…
My LG monitor has a brick that goes to 65W, but the measured power consumption is ~20W at the wall. ~12W in short idle (screen turned off less than ~1 min ago). ~0W in deep sleep, which is where it spends most of its…
As an aside, many 4k/1440p videos are not really 4k or 1440p, vs how we would classify a 4k/1440p monitor. Video is mostly 4k/1440p light levels, but less than that w.r.t. color information. A common video subsampling…
My experience with largely with 14" laptops. I am moderately tall, IMO. I will admit to using a Thinkpad. For other laptops I've had, I use my thumbs + tap-to-click. Also a healthy dose of KB. I am buried in the…
Needs a relatively rare and expensive W680 board to work. I’ve looked for them. Rare and hard to actually find one for sale, especially in ITX[0]. In past generations, Core i3s also had official ECC support with certain…
Do any of the Intel fabbed FPGAs have a free development IDE? Last I checked, it was limited to older Altera-era FPGAs. I know the pricepoint of the Intel fab FPGAs is outside of even my work projects, but I was…
What I am curious about, is some Nvidia cards like the A2000 have ECC, but only enough chips for a regular roundish number of RAM, like 6GB or 12GB. So when ECC is enabled, 6.25% of the RAM is used for the ECC bits. [0;…
