Do… Do you think software on its own needs no engineering?

If I say please build me a webshop from scratch, do I need a “computer engineer” which presumingly includes hardware knowledge by your distinction? Probably not. Is a code monkey going to build me the website? Also probably not.

So somewhere inbetween the two, you probably need a position that can engineer complex pieces of computer code, along with its design and architecture - we could even call it something short, like a software engineer or something

The Xbox Series S was also ‘up to’ 4K, so I guess this is expexted, but still I wish manufacturers took their plausible deniability advertisements a bit more seriously…

Given that there’s an acknowledgement of the tool in a 1996 article, the software may even be older than sex itself

Also what a time capsule this page is lol, nothing wrong with it really… just a relic of a different era

Well, yknow, there’s the whole israel thing

And even the article’s thumbnail has an israeli flag, who would have thought people might have issues with that…

• 2026-05-07: Submitted detailed information about the vulnerability and the exploit to the linux-distros mailing list. The embargo was set to 5 days, with an agreement that if a third party publishes the exploit on the internet during the embargo period, the Dirty Frag exploit would be published publicly.
• 2026-05-07: Detailed information and the exploit for this vulnerability were published publicly by an unrelated third party, breaking the embargo.

Well, that’s reassuring - hopefully, since the patch for it is also described in the repo, distro maintainers can patch it quickly

Another one? :/

Lmao I had a boss who was soo enthusiastic about Zed…

I tried it once but it somehow newer clicked for me, I’m kind of happy now that it didn’t

Airpods, for when you forget to take your jeans with you somewhere?

Edit: man i’m dumb i thought it was about airtags

I’m looking forward to the Steam Frame, hopefully it’ll support SteamOS out of the box

I’m using Fedora KDE, and for the first time in my life, an upgrade (42 to 43) completely borked the system, in a way that I couldn’t boot to anything else other than a kernel panic.

I had to boot up a live USB, mount and chroot into the old system, and manually fix each duplicated / corrupted package. And it still caused every now and then some weird issue with dnf, so in the end I just reinstalled the entire OS.

I feel like updates “offered” via a nice and convenient gui shouldn’t really do this out of nowhere - and I wasn’t the only one to report this in the past half year.

Oh damn this quote really doesn’t help the post, even though I know llms aren’t sentient

Why wouldn’t anyone choose 1? It’s just a bit blocky, but a spoon nonetheless.

And the question said eat, so small spoons are available for cooking or jars when needed

I’m sorry, but cum.

You can swear on the internet. And this isn’t swearing even, it’s just related to sex, you know, something natural

Ooh this is great news! I guess it was both an entertaining experience and a chore at the same time bumping the server version every once in a while to keep the mobile app functioning.

Huge props to the team, it’s one of the best pieces of software I’ve used in quite some time.

Yeah sorry I read your first sentence and just wanted to be a contrarian :D I agree with the rest of your comment though after reading it, it could be made a bit more concise with more or less the same effect

I’d take a shot at super speed, I feel like simply saying “but your physique stays as-is” would be enough of a limitation with the following notes:

• You can decide to speed up your perception and run up to e.g 20x your base speed. That would make a 6 km/h walking speed into 120 km/h. Maybe we can do 50x and then it’s 300 km/h.
• Your body experiences the physical task as if you did it at base speed. You exercise for 10 minutes, the physical toll is 10 minutes, even if you sped yourself up to 50x in that timeframe.

In one second, you could zip through 80 meters just by walking, quick enough to be super useful, but still possible to counter since you will get tired after a while

Hmm it’s not that useless, imagine doing parkour stunts where you can stop time each fraction of a second to judge where you need to move your arms/legs.

Or coming up with the perfect riposte for a negative comment from someone :D

I second the miniPC suggestions, I have a Dell Optiplex 9020M (bought used for about €70 some two years ago), put an SSD in it plus 8 GB RAM, and it handles anything I throw at it (minus real-time video transcoding).

I use it in a headless way, so YMMV with the video displaying part, but I doubt a Pi would be stronger in this regard.

In any case, I think it’s worth looking around before committing to a Pi, these micro pcs are quite convenient to carry/store/service, and they are self-contained unlike a Pi.

Here’s the article that started me down this path ^

Edit: I see you’re more into electronics, and I don’t know much about GPIO on these machines, so the laptop may be the simplest solution then - in any case, it’s nice to have options
