I’ve found this when trying to get a decent USB>9-pin Serial connector.
You think it’s your software, or something weird going wrong. Then you swap over a name-brand adapter, and the thing just works.

I’m shocked, I say. Shocked!
The idea of an app being used to gather additional datea from a customer!
I was eagerly anticipating “I’m looking for a gift for my aunt”.
This is good feedback, the Mint team could definitely streamline things, maybe even with a “help pick”.
Because it’s not immediately apparent which to use (Cinnamon/MATE/Xfce).
I’m not sure how the resolve the mirror issue, sadly.
The cost of serving the data directly would be very high, but doing so would avoid scaring people. Unfortunately, it’s hard for them to 100% guarantee every mirror is safe (even though they are!), which means they have to leave instructions on how to verify.
Selling pre-loaded USB sticks would be very cool, but people would have to be interested enough to spend £20.
Does he also do that thing where people buy out a company using debt loaded onto the company they’re buying?
Mike Ashley didn’t actually want a game shop, he wanted people spending £70 on each football/COD release, then buying that season’s team strip on the way out of the shop.
Thanks for the post, it persuaded me to get off my bottom and add another one to the list.
For components and wires that are made to a spec, I feel far more comfortable buying from CPC or Mouser.
Amazon sellers just feel like a coin flip if the guy is going to ship you CCA 24 AWG instead of OFC 23, in the hope you don’t notice or bother complaining.
I can absolutely see that happening in vsphere.
What’s even more crazy, is Adobe has a system called something like “docusign”, where you can just fill the document in in-browser.
I’m fortunate that I haven’t yet hit a form I couldn’t just edit in GIMP!
Exactly that.
With the current ceo, it’s been hyped beyond value.
One day, the value will return to the actual value.
If the ceo is changed, it will happen pretty rapidly, then the company can grow from there.
If the ceo is not changed, the hype will continue until either a breaking point, or the ceo changing.
So the shareholders have voted for the thing that preserves the status quo a little longer. Road-runner as it is.
And the ceo seems to have managed to extract a large chunk of the current hype money, in exchange for not changing the status quo.
And eventually, 10 years and over £100 for a domain you’ll never use.
It’s me. Too many domains I have no idea what to do with.
I’m still of the opinion that the basic message app should only be SMS.
Then anything else should be its own thing. Mixing the two is a recipe for disaster, where it’s a consumer product.
I tried to disable the atom cores on the £2000 laptop recently.
It took me about 10 mins not finding it in the BIOS, to discover that HP just doesn’t have an option for it.
Somebody stop her!
Cutting dev time, because instead of having to use smoke and mirrors to create…smoke and mirrors, they can just use GPU manufacturer’s libraries to render it in real time.
That’s not an unreasonable reason not to subscribe.
I do have a bit of a fear that the company may hit a turning point. And he’ll either tone it down a bit, or they’ll lose a lot of people, both staff and subs.
I stopped recommending kagi on lemmy after the umpteenth person accused me of shilling.
Maybe I should take a screenshot of the £20 leaving my account each month!
feddit.uk clocks in at under £40/month. That’s hosting, and backups. lemmy.zip is similar.
Plus our time, but we’re obviously doing it as a labour of love.
HEVC is almost entirely down the the licensing. This section of the wikipedia page details it pretty well.
The tl;dr is that the LA group wanted to hike the fees significantly, and that combined with a fear of locking in led to the mozilla group not to support HEVC.
And it’s annoying at times. Some of my security cameras are HEVC only at full resolution, which means I cannot view them in Firefox.
