For me also helps me to cross compile Nvidia kernel drivers for other version of kernel than running one. Plus compile stripped-down version of X.

All this for running on embedded Linux with 32MB flash drive running from read-only volume powering two kiosk displays.

Bulgarian here - for me DDR/GDR is well known. Also FRG.

Romanian here, the same applied here on all counts. Back in the '80s and going into the '90s we also used to name an infamous and poor Bucharest area as RFG (FRG in English), which was the capital letters of those three neighborhoods taken together as an acronym.

Not people! Just enterprises that want scalability.

can you share link to Liverpool so i can try it too please?

Sure, here you go: https://lar.liverpool.gov.uk/planning/index.html?fa=search

Heads up tho... it's behind AWS WAF with a JS challenge. Solving the challenge once works fine, but the WAF rate-limits the IP after ~10 requests and blocks for the rest of the day. So getting a session is doable, getting through 80,000 decisions is the hard bit. If you crack it I want to know! Cheers.

I have Chromebook with touchscreen. It's great to mix trackpad and touchscreen.

But after heavy use display became dirty because of human fat that remain on screen. I didn't notice similar things in iPhone/iPad however.

I suspect it's that phone and iPad screens do get dirty that way, but they're very easy to regularly wipe clean compared to a laptop screen, to the extent that it's not as noticeable that we're doing it.

iPhones and iPads have oleophobic coatings. Does your Chromebook?

Yup!

I've read this decade ago... https://www.codeofhonor.com/blog/whose-bug-is-this-anyway

for people that dont know, www.codeofhonor.com is netcoyotes (the gp comment) blog, and there is some good reading to be had there

and MacStudio!

What do you use the Mac Studio for?

I’ve always felt they weren’t really worth it for performance per dollar spent. For C++ work I just use a non-Mac workstation. For lighter workloads the Mac Mini is very capable already.

The Studio (Stud IO™) is the new Mac Pro - it's not "worth it" unless you need the most performance period - or you have money to spare.

Or you really, really need to drive eight displays from a single machine.

For "home user" stuff a Mac mini or MacBook is going to do everything you ever need (in fact, they have the problem where the M1 systems are still perfectly capable, six years later).

studio with m5 ultra this week might have me pulling the trigger.

You think they will skip M4 ultra? May be they slowly plan to launch ultra chips alternate years since the development costs are high and demand is niche.

If they do a 1TB m5 ultra, I too would be configuring one for sure.

I hope so! I already have the M4 mini pro - would like to bump up the prompt processing time and the memory bandwidth at the same time with the new M5 matmul changes.

25 years ago i used floppyfw

to setup small router on 486 with 12 MB ram and run flawless. Later i get Linksys WRT54GL and decommissioned that machine.

Me too, was CoyoteLinux.

This brings back memories. I used CoyoteLinux to surreptitiously share my ADSL connection with my SO. This was against my provider's ToS at the time.

BPIO anyone?

CF tunnels are game changers for me!
