But come on down to the ranch y'all for some sweet tea.

Or just buy a U7-series TV from HiSense, which feature this same tech and operate up to 120hz, at not a lot more than the price of your 2 Acer panels, and they don't suffer from the soft text. You can have a 55" 120hz inky black display with 800nits peak brightness for $299USD or less, and it...

Whoever created this design wanted the M.2 SSD on top of the board so badly that they ignored the placement of the SOC, which is going to be smack in the middle of the NAND packages, which will kill them. BZZZT.

I'm a bit disappointed with the 7040 RDNA3 APU performance. 25% performance increase could easily be attributed to the DDR5 memory interface alone. Where's a sing of the RDNA 3 architectural improvements? Ah, this is AMD. The real performance is hiding behind a 1-1.5 year driver development...

Always heartwarming to see a labour of love like this come to fruition, and then the code shared, to enable others to learn and pursue their own passions. 🌠

This was fine in the 90's when X protocol was lightweight. Back then we didn't have huge truecolour bitmaps, 100MB fonts, client-side rendered widgets, etc. Also, apps were being built to run on servers and have their display on your workstation, so developers were actually considering the X...

The plus is that one can expect CM5 to use the same form factor as CM4 so you have a platform upgrade path without buying a new Lyra. The negative is that all the compute modules to date have featured ARM CPUs that are 7+ years out of date, and ARM Holdings Coretex in general compare to...

Conventionally, the body of an argument is evidence-based and the conclusion is opinion-based, supported by the preceding evidence. The colour of my opinion portrays a betrayal of trust. Your support is kindly appreciated, lol.

If you find my hostility towards the ISPs disagreeable then you are supporting: 1) the ISPs taking kickbacks from the global mass media conglomerates in exchange for discouraging you from feeling like your own content/data has greater value to you than mass media content/data by charging you...

$ autossh user@host -- screen -x -R -t "Title" -h 10000; This will let your remote scripts survive disconnects, and when the reconnect occurs you'll have your display back exactly how it left off. Super handy for WiFi and/or mobile connections. It's also great if you have a number of remote...

The reason to have symmetric, or near-symmetric links, is for being able to have relatively transparent cloud storage for live backups. Without the convenience of transparent storage, the vast majority of people don't use remote backups. So then 99.99% of the population is needlessly prone to...

You're quoting NICT as having said they can broadcast 10M 8k TV channels? Are they aware you of your speech on their behalf? There exists no broadcast media through which you can deliver that density of information coherently. I think you meant to quote them as saying they can transmit 10M 8k...

Actually, the author only needed to pay attention, and have a grade 10 science education. If you went to Sr High then you learned about Chemistry and Atoms. Electrons in orbitals, Protons and Neutrons in the nucleus, along with the Periodic Table of the Elements. Instead the author spoke...

Nowhere in Quantum Brilliance's press materials does it say electron spin. In fact, the whole reason their tech works at room temp is because it doesn't use coherency-fragile electron spin for its quantum state. Instead it uses nuclear spin, which is many many orders of magnitude more stable...

If they shifted the stereoscopic lens left to right with the position of your head, which is easily doable with just a webcam and a pair of fine-pitch linear actuators, then this would be a worthwhile purchase. Without that, it's a $3500USD Crackerjack prize with guaranteed eye/neck strain...
