Reiterating why I find so many magazine to be trash nowadays.

Overly set up for SEO, poorly researched and often just crammed with shitty ads. That they completely neglected the formats used by pirating and home content speaks volumes.

That’s why I now often prefer to just look up stuff on enthusiast forums, Reddit or to some extent Lemmy. The last hasn’t gotten as good of an integration with search engines.

I’m not sure about ATMs, they often ran OS/2.

Windows CE often ran media centres or UI panels in things like John Deere tractors or the Fiat 500.

It was also the OS that ran the Dreamcasts UI.

Very important russian airfield attacked. The air defence can’t do s#1t about it and all that’s needed are a few missiles from the 90s!

That guy builds drones like no-one else’s business.

I wish Australia and more countries would invest into small businesses that can build these kind of drones.

The cost to to effectiveness ratio of these is just insane. Ukraine has proben how the effectiveness of loitering munitions.

Yup. One issue from long storage is that the fuel in solid fuel rockets can start to separate. Ryan McBeth did an explanation on a possible cause on that AA missile failure.

As you mentioned, some explosives also become unpredictable. The Takata airbags sending shrapnel into drivers faces comes to mind.

I suspect the failure rate goes up. Have you seen the video of the Russian AA missile pretending to be a boomerang 🪃 and flying back to its launch point?

That’s what can happen with old rockets.

Successful denazification and demilitrization

Of Russians.

Not quite the Ukrainians changing focus. Russia launched a big assault on Avdiivka.

A lot of that is equipment that russia sent into the meat grinder.

Thanks for looking into it. It’s just standard TA with mods. I’m sure it can be made to run even more if you buy the steam version.

Linus mentioned in one interview that Steam does amazing work for Linux adoption on the desktop.

The problem is simply that standard Linux software is still a lot of work to get going and maintain. Work I just don’t have time for.

I tried wine recently to see if I can get Total Annihilation to work. I played with Wine in the mid 2000’s and gotten office 2003 to run on Suse then.

OMFG the mess when I recently tried to just run a simple exe that doesn’t even need a full installation.

Adobe sadly don’t just make Photoshop which is a remarkably good product. Even more so with their new features. I use Lightroom and nothing that exists for Linux comes close. All that needs some serious GPU integration.

DaVinci resolve is amazing and a real alternative to Premiere. The problem I see is binary compatibility. Even Linus admits that the Linux desktop has a problem with that.

I do have high hopes for web tech to evolve enough to make cross platform a thing again. Maybe ChromeOS will help there. VS Code is a good example here. With WebGl Vulkan in the browser and OpenCL that should become viable soon.

I buy a lot off eBay. Not that they’re perfect, but at least they’re not owned by Bezoz.

The question is, who’s responsible?

The deep state? Karen? Vaccines? Maybe their bones don’t ring because of 5g?!

Isn’t the deep state responsible for the latter 2 anyway?

Have you used a gpu intensive application in a VM with good performance?

Adobe software quite heavily relies on cuda or OpenCL.

Half Life - Alyx

Fuck AFD. The fucking cunt should be sent to do community service for a good long time.

The symbolism is just fucking evil on Ukrainians since they were invaded by Nazis.

It will deliver death by PowerPoint

Absolutely. In a perfect world, we would supply enough MRAPs, Busmasters and similar vehicles to Ukrainian infantry.

Unfortunately we don’t have enough for our own needs. The Australian military still has G-Wagons. We do have plenty of M113’s and Humvees.

Sure, they’re not as good as the bigger troop transpors, but: what are the alternatives? Usually unarmoured technicals. Realistically speaking, we don’t even have enough of those! I donated to NAFO’s 69th sniffing brigade to buy vehicles.

If I was there, I’d rather sit in a Humvee or M113 than in a technical.

Aw crap. Glad they survived. Also shows the value of actual military vehicles over shitty technicals.

Not sure they would have fared as well in an unarmoured Hilux, Navara or Triton.

Something that surprised me is that there isn’t a better way to collect used cartridges from the machine gun at the top.

Not sure what to think of that large space use across the bottom on a widescreen display.

That’s one reason why I downgraded from windows 11 to windows 10.

In standard KDE, the standard “start menu” at least is quite thin.

I was wondering about that when sensationalist science Youtubers started spreading the footage like wildfire.
