Hmm, I'm pretty sure that every thong that I've launched with the patented thumb-hook and pull-and-release technique, could be intercepted by a missile system. Although, being able to react in time to intercept it in it's 10 foot flight path is challenging, but I'm sure not insurmountable.
Or perhaps some of the userbase does find this interesting? Do you complain about a headline for a new version of Oracle? Gmail being released? The raspberry Pi being released (and sold!!!)? These are all commercial announcements.
Personally, I found this a pretty cool little project. I consider myself part of the Slashdot demographic. I helped make this project happen only because I saw it here. This helps someone else pay for their family, and the products and services they need help pay for other families, and so on. Perhaps this post should be in the "gadgets" (or something like that) section.
Reddit Is Fun if you are on android. App is spare and crams all the useful info in. Recommended.
You jest, but you might be partly true.
By just having a complete FPGA ecosystem in-house, they are countering Intel's Altera move. Perhaps they see something around the corner/have real plans or they could be just hedging their bets. Either way, Intel won't have a leg up on them in the FPGA business any more.
Dude, they've split up bigger companies for being monopolies. It is easy to argue that Apple's app store is a monopoly for that large, exclusive market that they gatekeep and tax while selling their own stuff without a tax.
Carmageddon is a lost gem! I need to track this down and make it work on something.
Tripping down memory lane with the excellent RetroPie on a spare rpi 3. Best idea I've had during the "big pause".
The kids are loving the multiplayer games that I remember, and it helps that they don't have a console and I've been keeping them in the technodark. I'm surprised at how well the Amiga stacks up against the other consoles in the emulation space. Yeah, a little biased.
I think that LineageOS (android replacement) has decoupled everything from google and is using open alternatives. I recall just seeing a headline recently regarding it, possibly a new release with all the decoupled goodies.
And I just realized that I screwed up and that linksys made the WRT54G. oops
I've had several DLink products over the years, both personally and professionally, and don't recommend them. From switches dying prematurely with cheap, noisy fans to consumer routers turning into doorstops. And this is just the hardware, let alone the firmware that has a nice interface but turns out to be buggy.
Their only claim to fame was the venerable WRT54G, which was one of the first (if not the first) router that wonderful people created custom firmware for that brought some great features to a consumer grade product. I still have one kicking around somewhere.
I recall when Wolfenstein came out and all of the angst that caused in the Amiga community. Everyone was so used to being THE gaming computer platform, and all of a sudden the Amiga couldn't do this style of game without it being super slow. I can't recall the details, but something about the 80386 handled the bitplanes made it fast vs. the Amiga's Motorola and custom chipset. It has been quite a while now.
The Amiga was an awesome machine and far ahead of the competition, IMO. I didn't need a spreadsheet, thankfully. Otherwise, everything else was amazing. Dpaint, tracker, the amazing demo scene and the games, so easy to hack on and do silly things with the copper. I can't remember what I used for a word processor, but it did everything I needed.
It was pathetic to look at the competition in comparison. Looking back, the only real problem was the inflexibility of the hardware; the custom chips pretty much locked you into that version of the platform. You could upgrade the CPU (sometimes), and add more RAM and a HD, but that was mostly it unless you were adding further custom hardware like the video toaster (which was a massive leap over what was possible at the time).
Those were great times!
Easy peasy. I had had a 500 and there were a few options that just extended off of the side slot and had the same profile as the machine. Before that, you pretty much had to use an external disk drive for the OS, and then one for whatever you were working on. Couple that with a ramdisk and you were golden.
The 2000 was the machine to have and that had a built in HD controller, I believe. Back then, HDs were cutting edge and expensive!
So says someone who doesn't sound like they don't know what they're talking about.
If you've actually dropped some serious acid, or ate a good dose of shrooms, I don't think that you'd be saying the same thing.
I agree with the firing of synapses, but I think that what is going on, is that you're bypassing a bunch of stuff that has built up over time and going back to a more simple approach to everything in the brain. You are removing the filters that you have built up through life experiences. All your senses are reporting the same stuff but you are interpreting them differently, without those preconceived expectations. You experience things differently, or so I've been told.
From what I've I've heard, a different perspective on life can be a good thing. Or a bad thing. Take your pick, but don't talk about it unless you've properly done the research.
I wonder how many people that circumvent the geoblocking are doing so because they want their content in a different language? My wife is from Brazil and we are trying to raise our kids to be bilingual. My daughter complains occasionally, but she only gets Netflix from Brazil in portuguese. It is great for her comprehension and cultural appreciation, being exposed to mostly that for her (limited) screentime. It would be great if they offered all possible languages for their programming. I would pay extra for that option, rather than paying extra for a dns spoofing service. This also applies to subtitles!
Great. Now I'll get to root my TV. (and not that kind of root, you dirty brits)
This makes me both happy and sad. Happy since the challenge is there and sad since it is almost necessary to do so with every locked down, buggy, and poorly updated device. If it wasn't for the fanatical control over content, we would all be using amazing devices that have an open architecture where the best firmware for your usage pattern can shine. This is what drives me to rip all of my content to the format of my choice from DVD and CD, rather than purchasing the approved, vertically integrated formats (hello, Apple, Microsoft).
