Not sure how serious your comment is, but I could certainly imagine Microsoft introducing new dependencies/hooks/all-executables-must-support-copilot, etc., that break compatibility faster than Wine can keep up. Glad to hear that’s not the case!
For old stuff though…yeah, I’d hope it’s not moving backwards :)
my pro tip.
I see what you did there.
Torvalds uses it too I believe, so you’re in good company (Debian for me, though my heart belongs to Slackware).
VNC? You have your choice of servers, and clients are ubiquitous.
A big gotcha is that you need to be careful with encryption/security, as in classic UNIX style VNC does one thing (remote desktops). It’s easy to forward over ssh though.
You can also use VNC to share, which is not what you want; this depends on the type of server/settings. But you can definitely create a new virtual X11 session and access it remotely.
The difference between a cheap bike and a nice bike is similar to the difference between a Chromebook and a decked out ThinkPad or Macbook IMHO.
You’re absolutely right: most folks just browse the web, and a Chromebook is enough. But the other products do have value.
Whenever I mess with my bike brakes, I only do one wheel, then a few rides later allow myself to do the other. That way if I botch it I should have another brake that sorta still works.
I don’t think it does—I think OOP is doing the math and then inputting the sum.
The thing that fascinates me is that every single digital microwave I’ve ever used behaves the same way, and allows the “seconds-place” to be 0-99.
My best guesses are
Writing it in software, there are different ways that folks would probably implement it, for example, “subtract one, calculate minutes and seconds, display” seems reasonable. But nope, every one I’ve ever used is just the Wild West in the seconds department.
Not a historian, but folks on The Internet have characterized the Soviet program as a series of milestones, with the US program a series of stepping stones in support of a single goal.
This makes sense with the cartoon, where the Soviets were first in basically everything except walking on the moon.
Not sure how much merit it has, but it’s kinda interesting.
I bought a Rockchip SBC (Orange Pi 5+), and when it worked it was awesome…but man, the software support (mainly kernel space) is just not there. Exercise in frustration to get everything working at the same time.
Currently running armbian. I don’t think HW acceleration is working, and I don’t think HDMI out is even working, but for my use case it’s a stable config…for now.
Except it would probably end up being a sequel and prequel at the same time…

200MWh is about 1/100 of Little Boy, the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
Compressed air can get out all at once given the right circumstances.
Storing energy in a way that can go boom is something I’d be a little scared of, were I a nearby resident. I’m sure thermal batteries can have gnarly failure mechanisms but I would way rather live near one of those than a giant compressed air cylinder.
Right now the only thing I genuinely feel is missing that would increase my happiness, is an exercise routine.
I’ll put in a plug for cycling. You can nerd out over the latest bike gear, restore vintage bikes, or just pay the nice folks at your local bike shop to set you up and focus on the riding, it’s up to you!
You can also ride “unplugged,” or you can measure speed, cadence, heart rate, even power output (if you spend $$$)—again, something for everyone!
Good luck!
13, without the pillow, is kinda how babies/toddlers sometimes sleep (once they can roll over).
But once you got that XFree86 config dialed in, life was awesome.
(Ok looks like Xorg has been around for 21 years, so maybe you were running it instead.)
That works for linear motion but not for rotation—that requires acceleration (provided by gravity).
(I know, it’s a meme comment and I’m being pedantic…)
Obviously you should use an exponential search, assuming you don’t know the age of the oldest human.
