If I need a tv, I'll use a 37 inch 1080 monitor without sound as I have a sound bar. But I haven't watched tv/youtube in 5 years so not an issue for me.

The Bios Clean room effort was due to IBM Patents, not copyright. What this effort was is a derivative and frankly needs the original coder to sue for copyright infringement as that is what this is. Otherwise any of the open source licenses such as GPL/LGPL/Mit/BSD are invalid.

If Triump gets his way, our crash safety standards will be based on Super Tanks that can drive through buildings and survive being at ground zero while running on diesel and getting 10ft per 1000 gallons.

Got one of them early this year - San Diego Region of California had a 4.5+ shaker and scared the frog out of all of us when our cell phones tossed out that warniing. Then the shaking started. The only alerts I want from the phone is Severe Weather such as Tornado's/flash floods and earthquakes...

notepad++ does autosave/restore on open. It also includes the ability to spell check if you want but not automatically.

Sorry to say this, but you're "A day late & A Dollar Short" as the saying goes. Google is doing everything possible to kill firefox since they're no longer funding them even as they fight the DoJ breakup attempt.

I'm sorry to say we're on pace for a major Plague to hit the World and Darwin is going to be very strict with the bleach on the gene pools. Yes I'm a bit peturbed about the idiots but the fastest way other then disease is to simply start nuking the world to reduce the population to something...

Guess no one has figured out that all of these Exective Orders are to break the Unions in the United States. It doesn't have a damn thing to do with anything else. He want's "Company Slaves" and no payments to anyone that's employed. Alternatively, he's pushing this country to the point that Mob...

Poorly thought out: 1) Ever Legal Resident of the United States has the option to cast their vote 2) Those who abstained have made the decision that the majority can set policy as abstince is still a decision to vote. Just not yours 3) In a democratic country like the United States where the...

In the cases where they've wanted me to wire money get a relative out of jail - all they get is laughter from me as I tell them, good for the cops, maybe they can feed the freeloaders instead of me.

It's all about "Who Controls the Computer/Remote". In my case, I bought the hardware, I control the computer/remote as it's mine; all mine and you don't get to play with it. Seriously, I recently pulled the trigger on a new build around an Epyc CPU 7282 (16c/32t) and doubled my system memory...

Once again, lilo is the simpler solution instead of the mess of cludge together "kitchen sink, baby, bathwater and Pease Porridge" that Grub has become. For those that wonder why such a boot loader is dangerous, it's how UEFI works. If they can insert it into the motherboard firmware which btw...

I thought of Credit Reporting - Isn't Verisign one of the Big 3?

For those contemplating the Linux Switch and holding off due to gaming, there are two options. 1st is Proton from Valve and many Linux Distro's offer it 2nd is DosBox for older Games - Get them from GoG but check which ones use it. Again, DosBox is wide spread in Linux, meaning that many older...

I'd thought they'd already ruled to remove the compound since I read about it over a year ago. Guess the wheels of Government do turn slooowly after all.

Launch Type 1 probe Data. A Quick and dirty system can be more effective in warning about things then a heavyily Designed Large Juicy Target. It also allows ue to see changes faster then the large Juicy Target can since you have more passing overhead very quickly. There's another feature. with...

As to Apple and TSMC, keep in mind that Apple paid them to develop their 3nm node meaning that many of the advances that TSMC have created in regards to nodes was due to Apple Providing the initial funding along with the purchase of that node output. Why in hell do you think everyone is no...

Sounds like Rammed Earth Construction that's been around for thousands of years. It simply takes a 10 ton Hydraulic press and a box to make rammed earth bricks. If you want to get special, then add a tounge and groove so there's no mortar needed, just dry stack but you will be limited in height...

Just read this article that indicates that GPU's used for Ai aren't living any longer then crypto miners do. https://www.extremetech.com/computing/data-center-ai-gpus-may-have-extremely-short-lifespans I'm excited to see AMD basically give up competing on power with Nvidia as far as the 4090...

It's a hidden Ship preparing to either land or lift off Earth
