    I always thought it had to do with avoiding ambiguity. By using a specific word with a specific meaning, you don't need to expand on the context. I think I read that somewhere a long time ago and just accepted it.

    Please tell Tongshen, who manufactures the popular TSDZ2 motor. The pedal keeps coming loose because they don't do this. I keep a key on me to tighten it when it starts to loosen.

    I play a Quake 2 mod that converts it to a ww2 game and it's as ugly as you can expect for a game from before the turn of the century. Ray tracing in this game is short of magic. No assets changed, and it makes it look so good, it's unbelievable.

    Of course sometimes we also play this game in software mode which doesn't even colored lighting, just pure rendering on the CPU. So grainy...

    I don't think it reflects, it's just slightly transparent and the object extends under the surface.

    In those days, when you entered a room in a game that had very shiny tiles that reflected the room, it was simply a copy of the room, upside down and flipped, and the floors were transparent. It created the illusion of reflection.

    KiwiIRC is a web based IRC client. Does not have voice chat afaik, but since it's IRC it's very lightweight and had a low entry barrier.

    Packing a box seems easier than operating the machines at mcdos. Timing the operation, consistency, time pressure, angry clients, ...

  • I'm not coming up with a lot of useful (clear) results when searching for a solution to this issue. Is it OK to simply dd the 128GB disk to the 32GB disk using count to stop after the 16GB partition was cloned? A bit more context: I had to clone a 16GB eMMC and only had a 128GB SD around. Now I purchased a 32GB eMMC and want to clone it again. The partition holds a root filesystem for an ARMv8 device. I don't have the 16GB eMMC anymore, that would have been the easy way out.

    I'm trying to troubleshoot this DNS I have on a small old Odroid C1 board. I have set up a static IP, but cannot get DNS to work. The image comes with systemd-resolved by default. I have notes that said to set a static IP, then disable systemd-resolved, and after a reboot the DNS would work, but that didn't work. I've looked into systemd-resolved a little bit, and have configured the DNS servers manually, which is required when using a static address. My gateway is also my DNS. Here is what I believe to be relevant output: /etc/systemd/network/eth0.network: ``` [Match] Name=eth0 [Network] Address=192.168.10.44/24 Gateway=192.168.10.254 DNS=192.168.10.254 DNS=1.1.1.1 ``` Output of `resolvectl status` and some pings: ``` [root@alarm alarm]# resolvectl status Global LLMNR setting: yes MulticastDNS setting: yes DNSOverTLS setting: no DNSSEC setting: allow-downgrade DNSSEC supported: yes Current DNS Server: 1.1.1.1 DNS Servers: 192.168.10.254 1.1.1.1 Fallback DNS Servers: 1.1.1.1 9.9.9.10 8.8.8.8 2606:4700:4700::1111 2620:fe::10 2001:4860:4860::8888 DNSSEC NTA: 10.in-addr.arpa 16.172.in-addr.arpa 168.192.in-addr.arpa 17.172.in-addr.arpa 18.172.in-addr.arpa 19.172.in-addr.arpa 20.172.in-addr.arpa 21.172.in-addr.arpa 22.172.in-addr.arpa 23.172.in-addr.arpa 24.172.in-addr.arpa 25.172.in-addr.arpa 26.172.in-addr.arpa 27.172.in-addr.arpa 28.172.in-addr.arpa 29.172.in-addr.arpa 30.172.in-addr.arpa 31.172.in-addr.arpa corp d.f.ip6.arpa home internal intranet lan local private test Link 2 (eth0) Current Scopes: DNS LLMNR/IPv4 LLMNR/IPv6 DefaultRoute setting: yes LLMNR setting: yes MulticastDNS setting: no DNSOverTLS setting: no DNSSEC setting: allow-downgrade DNSSEC supported: yes Current DNS Server: 1.1.1.1 DNS Servers: 192.168.10.254 1.1.1.1 [root@alarm alarm]# ping google.com ping: google.com: Name or service not known [root@alarm alarm]# ping tweakers.net ping: tweakers.net: Name or service not known [root@alarm alarm]# ping 192.168.10.254 PING 192.168.10.254 (192.168.10.254) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.10.254: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.329 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.10.254: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.243 ms ^C --- 192.168.10.254 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 999ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.243/0.286/0.329/0.043 ms [root@alarm alarm]# ping 1.1.1.1 PING 1.1.1.1 (1.1.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 1.1.1.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=58 time=22.3 ms 64 bytes from 1.1.1.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=58 time=14.3 ms ^C --- 1.1.1.1 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1002ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 14.258/18.280/22.302/4.022 ms ``` Alternatives to systemd-resolved welcome, just need it to work. edit: The solution was to add `DNSSEC=no` in `/etc/systemd/resolved.conf`. I learned this by running `journalctl -u systemd-resolved -f`, which said ` DNSSEC validation failed for question google.com IN A: failed-auxiliary`.

    I have a "Professional control pad PRO-2" (this one https://segaretro.org/Konix_Power_Pad), but unfortunately it does not work. When I open it up and toy with the contacts I can get all the buttons to work at the same time, and indefinitely, by bridging the start button contact with a single piece of metal. The 3 lights will go on and stay on, and the game will keep receiving start repeatedly. I have tested this with Virtua Racing, it will start the game, go through all menus and then when the race starts it will pause and continue repeatedly. When I touch both sides of the start button contact with a multimeter it does nothing. I don't know much about electronics, but I would like to repair this controller. Here are pictures of the inside of the controllers. https://imgur.com/a/WTQsCIt I'm not seeing anything wrong, and the capacitors don't look leaky, but I could replace them. How can I best proceed?

    Hi, I'm looking for info on the compatibility of the "Gold Cartridge" with regards to the Master System. I was looking at one of these and it says on the box that it's made for the Mark III and Master System. However, the form factor is different than other Master System cartridges, and it's also nothing like a Sega Card. I've been looking for information online, but to my surprise I'm not coming up with _any_ answers. Are the Gold Cartridges compatible with (EU) Master System consoles? Do they fit in the cartridge slot?

    I have an old Logitech UltraX Premium low-profile scissor switch keyboard. Unfortunately this one's dieing, as one of the keys is now broken. I'm not well versed in mechanical switches and I'm not native English, so some of the explained terminology is a bit harder to understand when I'm looking for the subtle differences in the switches. I'm looking for the right switch that is somewhat similar to my current keyboard. On any given key I can apply some pressure, but the key will not press down. When I push a little harder, the key goes down to the bottom. What kind of switch am I looking for in this case? Linear, clicky, "tactile bump", ...? I'm currently interested in the Keychron K5. It has similar dimensions with regards to height of the keys (around 2cm) and is a full layout. Thanks in advance.

    It's been a while since they've made one. I have a PineTime and my wife wants one too, so I was looking to see if there's any mention of a PT2 on the horizon, as well as catch up on all the hardware news, but to my surprise there hasn't been any news since april. Not a big deal, it's only a few months, but still, they used to provide monthly updates. Skipping an update can happen, but they basically skipped 3 months since the last one. What's going on?
