I stand corrected then, thank you! I forgot about Opteron and Athlon (I was an Intel devotee at the time, my AMD phase happened much earlier with the 486 DX2 and DX4).

Cheers!

The thing that bothers me the most here is that the meme is using 64bit assembly instructions, which did not exist at the time keyboards were using IRQs to communicate. 🤣

For me what ended up being an important difference is that Remote Desktop is a screen share in KDE (meaning it only works if you’re already logged on, everyone sees what you are doing and the remote view does not adapt to the monitor you’re connecting with). In Gnome it is a real private remote session with virtual monitors.

I am told something like NoMachine will solve this on KDE but I haven’t set that up yet.

Yeah that’s why I found an “evaluation” version before. Once I saw it was genuinely great I was happy to pay for a license.

I look at this font 12+ hours a day everyday for work, if this was just for ricing a terminal window I agree it is a bit steep.

I am a big fan of MonoLisa, but it is a paid font.

I wasn’t convinced initially (never paid for a font before!) and found some version of it online, found that I liked it very much, then willingly parted with my money for a license.

I really like the difference between normal and italics, I set up my code editor to use italics for comments.

Don’t dead open inside!

Unfortunately be aware that there are 2 types of cheap replacements, some are identical to the real thing and some are really cheap foam that is nowhere as comfortable. I don’t know how to tell the difference without ordering…

My broken QuietComfort headphones with the plastic earcup hinges would like to have a word…

I love my Bose headphones but man, don’t ever dare dropping them on the floor by mistake, they will shatter on the first hit.

To be fair in the past when this happened you could bring the broken pair in store to get a replacement or upgrade at a good price, but I hear the policy was abused too much so it was retired many years ago.

This was a great read, thanks for sharing!

The thumbnail caught my eye because I bought the Dragon Book many years ago to get some insight on compilers. So much knowledge that is still relevant today…

I have the same TV. It doesn’t specifically help you but using HDMI 2.1 sources works fine for 4K HDR 120Hz and VRR. I have too many devices (Xbox Series, PS5, AppleTV, Switch) so they are routed through a GUIDE3 switcher.

So I would think it is the DP converter or the HDMI cable not really being 2.1.

Ubiquiti NVR Instant kit is a great value, and you get 24h local recording without a subscription. And it is well supported with Home Assistant.

Some of the UniFi cameras are amazingly expensive though, $500 for an outdoor 4K camera is hard to swallow. But if you can swing it, you will not regret the investment.

I already have other UniFi gear for networking and it was natural to add cameras to the system.

Apparently UniFi Protect works with 3rd party cameras if they support ONVIF but I don’t know of any yet.

I was wondering if that also included the Arc of 285K, and it seems it does (in that it is not supported). Last non-pro Intel GPU that supported SR-IOV is Xe Graphics on 12th Gen…

I failed to get GVT-g running on 10th Gen, too unstable for a Windows VM for work. :(

Last time I installed Arch it used systemd-boot which only shows text. If you use grub in UEFI mode you can get those graphics too.

CSI Miami!

For professional use I’ve heard good things about SmartGit, unfortunately my work refused to buy me a license and the trial period wasn’t long enough for me to really form an opinion.

Work suggests to use SourceTree but it is way too sluggish.

These days I use git CLI for most things, and VSCode to review changes and submit PRs. Of course this also assumes you use a decent shell with git support, like Oh-My-Posh or similar, so it is always clear what you are working on.

That same exec vibe-coded the automatic captioning toggle for “foreign” languages. This time there is a checkbox on your account, but it doesn’t work. 😞

TIL about hidden options in Bitwarden, thanks!

I of course already use the password generator to make up the random string, and often you can’t use special characters there since they expect real words as answers.

This is the right answer. I never answer those, you add new entries in your password manager in the notes for the main site.

If you answer truthfully to any one of those “security questions”, your account is at risk.

Feisar represent…

I immediately thought of Wipeout too, loved the art design so much. I need to look at that artist’s work… (and apparently Marathon too)

For me what generally happens if I stop at 9PM, I will work through the problem in my sleep (and it will prevent me from getting a good night sleep), but I will often find a breakthrough the next morning during shower time.

I’m talking about those hard, multi-days debugging problems that nobody can figure out, but as someone else raised, that’s why I get paid good money for it.

It still sucks though. That first response in the thread rings so true, ok now I get it, no you don’t…
