I just stick with TOTP.

AI images (or even Stock Images) of food in a menu are false advertising. Full stop.

We know that crooks are selling fake drives where the size is over-reported. Shouldn't something that tries to be sneaky under-report the size instead? Not just in the partition.

A magazine disk was the first time a game containing Sonic the Hedgehog was released. He was thrown into a game as an enemy character in a platformer game (Adventures Of Quik & Silva) without any regard for copyright law. This happened before the actual Genesis/Mega Drive game released.

(and no, that game is not on this site)

Not anymore, now you just get an AI overview, followed by SEO slop results.

When you have a dialog window too big for the screen, you can Alt+Space to open the system menu, then activate the Move menu item, then you can use arrow keys to move the window around, even with the title bar out of bounds.

Not just for obsolete systems, sometimes a full screen application might pick a tiny desktop resolution as well, and not properly restore the resolution, so you could need to deal with a too-big dialog box in that situation as well.

Interesting that people are making hacks of PNG to do animations, yet there's also APNG sitting over there saying "Hey I exist!"

"intentionally" letting your eyes defocus is not a simple task for most people. Because most people use their eyes normally, they can't do things that are unusual. Look at how many people struggle with Magic Eye stereograms. Squinting on the other hand is something that is simple to do.

How much is yours, and how much is the LLM's?

This is just level of detail. Gemma E4B reads the sharper text until you resize down to 150x150, then it reads the other text.

I wonder how that trademark logic would apply to something like OpenGL.

1.6 bits if you want the most practical way to pack five 3-state numbers into a single byte. But even then, they usually pack four 4-state numbers instead.

A webpage cannot harvest your personal data in ways that an app can.

For those unfamiliar with the Hitachi SuperH architecture, imagine THUMB. ARM even had to license some of the patents from Hitchai when they developed THUMB. SuperH architecture is not the same thing as THUMB, but it has a lot in common, mainly use of 16-bit instructions, and instructions that only specify two registers rather than three.

But it also has some RISC jank of the era, such as branch delay slots.

The GBA was designed around having no cache. With a few exceptions (such as Internal RAM, Video RAM, IO registers, BIOS, OAM, Palettes), everything goes out to an external bus. Going out to an external bus with no cache will basically slow you down to 80s computer speeds. Fetching instructions from the cartridge ends up being around twice as fast as a GBC.

The way around that is using a cache, and sequentially fetching multiple words. Sequential fetches can be made faster, increasing throughput, and that can hide the latency if enough instructions/data gets cached.

I wonder how this system is designed, is it going to the memory bus for all fetches, or does it use a cache?

Weirdly enough, my phone (Ocean) happens to be number 3 on the list, didn't expect that. But all the users are from Brazil for some reason? Is the phone really that popular?

The rule for preserving floppies is to not use Windows. Windows is known for automatically writing to disks, so you're not preserving the original anymore, you're preserving the changes that Windows made to the disk.

When you have a headline that does not say what the actual topic is, and you are forced to click the article to find out the topic, that is called "clickbait".

The missing dot is not just a thing that helps stabilize the colors in a picture, it's literally a missing dot. The first scanline is literally twitching left and right by one pixel every other frame. You probably can't see it on your TV without messing with the vertical hold.

ORMs make it hard to write code that allows SQL injection.

If you don't unblock scripts from cdn.jsdelivr.net.cdn.cloudflare.net, the math code won't work.

Anyway, to get access to RAM before it is clobbered by other software, you need to run your code really really early. By the time the BIOS has decided to let you run code from a USB stick, it could be way too late.

RAID cards have option ROM that can run before a bootloader has started, that is one way to get something running earlier.

Does it stop EFI from running first? I'd think that EFI would be clobbering a whole lot of RAM.

I somehow had a sticky setting that applied the "Drunk Mode" theme, which was remembered forever. The theme selector isn't easy to see in that mode.

Some of the different spellings used by US English are because of changes made to British English that did not happen in the US.

Nowadays, MX Linux seems to fill that gap with the Live USB remastering feature.

Do we have any screenshots of what the text looks like, and what the error correction looks like?

I mean there was already the Bad Apple font (keep adding another character to your text and you get the next video frame)
