I don’t understand why sailboats have an advantage. What do they have for generating wind that the other boats don’t? All boats experience the same wind. Do the propeller+engine on a sailboat act as a generator when the boat moves with wind power?

Oh man, what a throwback! I had completely forgotten about this. It made a splash and then I never heard anything more about it. One of my coworkers installed it on his Toshiba laptop and ran it for a week or two before giving up.

Not my last, but after using killall
in Linux, I tried it on hpux, only to discover and later confirm in the man page that on hpux it doesn’t take any arguments, it just kills every process.
Please provide a link to a TV remote button remapper.
I would love to have this for my smart tv remote that has dedicated buttons for subscription services I will never pay for. /me heads to thingiverse to search
The 4 inch ones are awesome! I have a whole collection of different 4 inch cables for when I travel, and for when I take my laptop to the cafe. They’re also great for microcontrollers, like the mouse jiggler I made from a pico 2040.
Not only is it random, it’s nearly impossible to find something you have seen before. Awful all around.
There’s a Firefox plugin that replaces YT thumbnails with stills from the video. It makes browsing YT so much better.
Also just fuck Broadcom in general for all the other dumb shit they do.

These are artifacts that amplify and improve our abilities to perform cognitive tasks when we have use of the artifact but when we take away the artifact we are no better (and possibly worse) at performing the cognitive task than we were before.

I was having flashbacks to Cars 2.
Put me down for 0 too because we were poor.
My first line of investigation here would be virtualization. It will solve the “don’t mess with my Linux install” problem and will let you use the windows apps you need at the same time as the Linux apps you normally use. Also VMs have all their other useful features like snapshots and portability.
I did this in the distant past and it was quite convenient having the VM instead of a dual boot.

Microsoft has had an impressively positive impact on Linux, including the kernel directly. It started ramping up about 15 years ago. They were the 5th highest contributor to the 3.x kernel.
I recall reading about them working on improving Linux’s MS related features, like fat32 support, samba, and things to make Linux run better in hyper-v that also helped performance overall.
Microsoft owned company migrates from third party EOL OS to Microsoft distributed OS. No surprise.
Interesting bit about the surplus wind! I hadn’t thought of that, and didn’t know that boats can have a dedicated hydro generator device. Thanks!
