For telecom, at least, governments have legislated against Huawei equipment, Nokia is going strong from a European side

By credit card, it's quite useful for the reward points - I'm fairly sure it was MC and Visa only (no AMEX) last time I did it, though that may change with this new payment provider

Depends on the tax - I pay my vehicle tax through the gov.uk website!

A lot of the app compatibility issues on current machines are down to Qualcomm's poor drivers - the actual core bits are mostly okay.

That's what makes domains true FQDNs :)

I read an interesting blog article on this a while back: https://lacot.org/blog/2024/10/29/the-trailing-dot-in-domain...

I agree, I quite liked Ostriv (I tend to play a fair few city builders) - definitely felt a lot more 'in-depth' on certain parts than, say, Foundation (which has more systems, but less detail)

The Defunctland video on the history of the Fast Pass is also definitely worth a watch!

The part where he runs a massive simulation is very much up the typical HN-user's street

Amazon doing dodgy things with PC parts is why I will no longer purchase them from there - I'll happily take the extra £10-20 hit to buy it from another "proper" retailer (ie, Scan or Overclockers here in the UK), knowing that issues can be resolved more easily

I've used basically every Windows on Arm machine - I actually quite like my X Elite ThinkPad T14s Gen6, compared the the X13s - feels like they got everything right, that the X13s got wrong

I've also had no issues with IPv6 on my Mikrotik router (RB5009) - I did have to set the MTU to 1280 because of some poor IPv6 implementations elsewhere for a stable connection, though.

There was a talk on this at Blendercon last year!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVn8wQ3tKxA

There is a wide variety, MHEV is quite popular here due to lack of home charging, as many people live in terraces, etc

We have a selection of smaller popular hatchbacks with MHEV available (ie, the Hyundai i20) that I believe were not released in some markets

The leasing culture for "luxury" cars is quite prevalent here too, and many new cars from popular brands such as Land Rover are at minimum MHEV from new nowadays, in order to get fleet emissions down

I believe this is what STIR/SHAKEN was trying to do, however getting global adoption (which is what would be required) is where it fell over

Agreed - I went through a few past ones, and unfortunately it just felt like you had to be fairly familiar with US products, landmarks, etc

I loved the concept, just not some of the clues

In my recent experience renewing my UK passport, I found I was able to submit the image regardless of the complaining it gave, I just had to write a note as to why I thought the image did in fact meet their criteria.

In my case, whatever detection software they used seemed to think my eyes were closed, which they were not.

I just used a normal picture taken on a phone, against a plain white wall, accepted with no issues.

I am keeping an eye on the Ineos Fusilier (https://ineosgrenadier.com/en/gb/news/introducing-the-ineos-...) for something along those lines - it will have both a full EV and a range-extended hybrid powertrain

Maybe one day I will replace my Land Rover...

I still manage to attend lots of LAN parties in the UK!

The major one - several thousand - Insomnia (although I volunteer for that), and a host of smaller ones with a much more community feel, such as StratLAN.

Is the feeling slightly different to what I imagine it used to be? Yes, as if the Internet goes down, then many games stop working - but then at the smaller ones (ie Strat), I find I spend more of my time chatting to like-minded people, playing board games, etc. I even have a friend that comes over from NL for it sometimes!

LANs aren't dead quite yet :)

Depends on when you interned! Before 2018 you would get a green badge as an intern, 2018 and onwards you got the same blue as everyone else, when they moved all the offices to GDAS.

Contractors (cleaners, catering staff, etc) got yellow ones IIRC

(I interned at ARM in Cambridge 2017 and 2018)

HP's SUPD has support for ARM-based platforms, which I have found to work well on the more modern printers I have tried

Monogame, though it doesn't do much hand-holding: https://github.com/MonoGame/MonoGame

Webassembly support is spotty, though in progress AFAICT.

Used by a few 2D games like Stsrdew Valley and Celeste.

There is also Insomnia's smaller sibling LAN, "StratLAN" - captures the old school small LAN feeling a lot more!

Do people still type "www."?

From my experience, yes.

I am getting merried next month - we have a wedding website via "with joy", which had a URL a bit too long to fit on our wedding invites, so I set up a redirect of "wedding.surname.tld" - the amount of people who messaged us saying the website didn't work, and it turns out they were putting "www." beforehand was staggering (until I added that as a redirect too).

When I did my A-Level (UK exams taken at the end of 16-18) Computing exam, this is pretty much along the lines of what they did.

Program source was released a month before the exam, to allow students to familiarise themselves with it, and the exam then gave a series of questions/modifications the students had to make (I think ours was based on a pack of cards, so we had to implement a shuffle algo, and a take x from top of deck, etc).

Also if people are interested in further speedrunning videos, I very highly recommend "Summoning Salt" on YouTube!

I got that and Moonlight mixed up, my bad :) message edited

You're right, I got them completely mixed up (I was incidentally looking at streaming from Linux the other day, and googled/ported without properly reading)

Moonlight is the client :)

There is always this alternative implementation: https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine

EDIT: Oops, misread, the OSS client is called moonlight: https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-android

Define 'many'! Several large projects that may well be prerequisites/dependencies (ie, Python, CMake, .NET) are available natively, so most projects should be able to be ported with relative ease.

I am working on the Windows on Arm project at Linaro, enabling various OSS programs for WoA (currently working in Blender), there is some appetite :)

Feel free to ask questions!

I use Reolink RLC-810 cameras for this purpose, seem to tick your boxes - on their own VLAN isolated away from everything, and I just pull in the streams via RTSP - firmware updates can be uploaded via the camera Web interface. I wouldn't call then "ruggedized", but I live on a fairly remote farm that definitely gets hit hard by the weather, and they have survived just fine.
