I've been recommending BeeLink minis to friends and colleagues for a couple years now. They have good build quailty, are very easy to clean and upgrade, and so far, alo pretty reliable. I'm on an SER7 a I write this. This is basically an ultraportable laptop board smacked in a small box with...

Two things. An excellent screehshot tool is FlameShot. It has good integration to all the major desktops, optionally saves to a user-specified folder and/or the clipboard, allows some light inline editing before saving/cutting and also optionally shares it to a cloud hosting service so you can...

What this reveals is the depth of Apocrypha in the dataset the AI was trained on. Don't be shocked at Garbage in Garbage out. Be concerned what this says about how dangerously misinformed the general public is.

Um... not so much. AMD and Intel were pretty late to the 64-bit CPU party. Many other CPU vendors had 64-bit CPUs 30+ years before x86-64 appeared. However, AMD was the first to market a 64-bit Consumer Laptop CPU - the Turion64. For more about the timeline of 64-bit CPU tech, see...

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...
