Seems to have been converted to become a convertible. Did you find any instructions to replicate this mod if I find a stock laptop?

Reiterating why I find so many magazine to be trash nowadays.

Overly set up for SEO, poorly researched and often just crammed with shitty ads. That they completely neglected the formats used by pirating and home content speaks volumes.

That’s why I now often prefer to just look up stuff on enthusiast forums, Reddit or to some extent Lemmy. The last hasn’t gotten as good of an integration with search engines.

I’m not sure about ATMs, they often ran OS/2.

Windows CE often ran media centres or UI panels in things like John Deere tractors or the Fiat 500.

It was also the OS that ran the Dreamcasts UI.

Very important russian airfield attacked. The air defence can’t do s#1t about it and all that’s needed are a few missiles from the 90s!

That guy builds drones like no-one else’s business.

I wish Australia and more countries would invest into small businesses that can build these kind of drones.

The cost to to effectiveness ratio of these is just insane. Ukraine has proven the effectiveness of loitering munitions.

Edit: Fixed typo and grammar.

Thanks for looking into it. It’s just standard TA with mods. I’m sure it can be made to run even more if you buy the steam version.

Linus mentioned in one interview that Steam does amazing work for Linux adoption on the desktop.

The problem is simply that standard Linux software is still a lot of work to get going and maintain. Work I just don’t have time for.

I tried wine recently to see if I can get Total Annihilation to work. I played with Wine in the mid 2000’s and gotten office 2003 to run on Suse then.

OMFG the mess when I recently tried to just run a simple exe that doesn’t even need a full installation.

Adobe sadly don’t just make Photoshop which is a remarkably good product. Even more so with their new features. I use Lightroom and nothing that exists for Linux comes close. All that needs some serious GPU integration.

DaVinci resolve is amazing and a real alternative to Premiere. The problem I see is binary compatibility. Even Linus admits that the Linux desktop has a problem with that.

I do have high hopes for web tech to evolve enough to make cross platform a thing again. Maybe ChromeOS will help there. VS Code is a good example here. With WebGl Vulkan in the browser and OpenCL that should become viable soon.

It’s such an amazing country.

I’m so conflicted over what happened there, and it’s only getting more complicated the more I know about it.

Essentially people just wanting to be left alone, but the country getting torn by multiple groups.

French colonizers who’s time was ending. The Soviets who took the opportunity to spread chaos to weaken the west and bring communism. The russians are doing similar shit now, particularly in Africa.

And the USA who wanted to stop that and get their influence over the country in an extremely brutal fashion.

Only to later to also have issues with the Khmer Rouge. Now China is encroaching onto them.

I buy a lot off eBay. Not that they’re perfect, but at least they’re not owned by Bezoz.

Sharing is caring

Have you used a gpu intensive application in a VM with good performance?

Adobe software quite heavily relies on cuda or OpenCL.

Half Life - Alyx

Well, and there are a lot of them on the road that are illegal because their power and speed exceed the legal limit.

IMHO that doesn’t need to be the case. Just as it is with moat drugs like Cannabis. I’m advocating for legalisation of faster E-Scooters amd E-Bikes with the right legislation.

E-Scooters and E-Bikes can and should be treated like their petrol powered equivalents.

Stay below a maximum power output. In Europe that max is 200w. They should be no more than assisted bicycles.

If you want to go a bit faster then you’re looking at a pedal assisted motorcycle. A MOPED (MOtor + PEDals). Those are limited to 45-50kmh.

If you want to go faster than even that, it’s a motorcycle. Just an electric one. Even with motorcycles you have a bunch of categories. In Europe the A1, A2 and fully open category.

We can open up new paths for A1 which are commonly used by deliver riders to encourage people to get away from car culture.

That would solve the whole issue of people people being idiots on them and the state can make a bit if income through licensing. I’d rather see that than an outright ban as we want smart regulation and innovation.

I was wondering about that when sensationalist science Youtubers started spreading the footage like wildfire.

Finally supporting PWAs on Desktop? Bringing back battery APIs and Network APIs so we can develop powerful apps than run on firefox.

• You can add a permission request prompt for APIs of concern. Make Firefox a kick-ass browser again.

Edit fixed typos.

mRNA? Oh boy the anti vaxxers are going have have their heads explode.

Great news though as that’s a pretty common cancer.

We already had that in the 70s and 80s. Those were RoRo trains.

You put your car on a drive on ramp. Go into the comfy cabin, maybe even a sleeper cabin for over night journeys. Get out at the other end, drive your car down the carrier and explore the area that you’ve journeyed to with the vehicle that you own. Look up the 89s ABC film about the Ghan railway closing down.

I live in Australia and love seeing the distant from my home centre of tue country. Unfortunately long distance trains here have become a lifestyle luxury experience rather than transportation. Same goes for bicycles amd motorcycles.

You’re proving my point exactly. The imperial system is so convoluted that even people that INSIST that EVERYONE should use it, don’t understand its units.

Just because most people don’t have to deal with a certain conversion, doesn’t mean that none do. There are enough engineers that design stuff which is related to problems on these variations in scale. They waste hours in productivity in needlessly complicated conversions (because fractions). Not to mention the mistakes that get introduced like the famous Mars lander that crashed because of imperial unit conversions.

Not only are the units incredibly inconsistent, you also have the issue that Brits and boat people use variation of some of the same units. US Gallons vs British Gallons, mile vs nautical mile. MPH, vs knots. That barley corn that Holzkohlen mentioned defines shoe sizes, unless of course, you don’t wear shoes.

Didn’t you see the meme: “There are 2 types of countries, those that ise the metric system and those that landed on the moon.”?

It’s also usually shared by the same idiots that don’t realise that barley corn is an actual measurement in their beloved imperial system.

Ask any of these smart arses how barley corns are in a foot or how many feet are in a mile and suddenly you hear excuses. Not to forget that the inch defined by the meter.
