Papamousse

In Canada it’s tap to pay for ~8 years now, never saw a QR code to pay. However when I go in USA, every stores is tap to pay, except one, there’s one store in USA where there is no tap, it’s Walmart, inconcevable.

I have bought hundreds of stuff on AE, it’s ok, especially for stuff that are less than $10 that local sellers sell for like $40 for the exact same thing. I got some items in less than a week in Caanda.

yeah, it’s a feature required by CCP

Superb, really!

Absolutely, I started computers in 1981, for me 1K is 1024 bytes and will always be. 1000 bytes is a scam

I absolutely hate it for medias like music or movies. Back in the time, you had your CD and DVD/BD in physical format. Now there’s music you about cannot buy to own. Same for old movies, you cannot find them physically, only rent them on youtube for instance.

Remember goatse.cx ?

tcsh also! I used it a lot uhhhh last century

Yes, but it’s buggy, it often freezes, it also consumes ~5% battery per hour, even if I kill FF before going to bed, the next morning it took like 40% of the battery in 8h night.

I only use FF in Linux, I tried on Android but it’s somewhat bad 😔

It works with 2 or 3 AA batteries, not that much power

Haha yes, no problem with those 😁

2038 will certainly be a shit show

I worked in broadcasting (programming broadcasting applications), everything is done with PTP (Precise Time Protocol) and TC (timecode) in video. We had to support leap second, it’s not as easy, but in the end, insert black frames for 1s and that’s it.

I remember pretty well using TurboPascal 3.0 on my Amstrad CPC6128, Z80 and 128K RAM, and CPM+

No, if your motherboard/BIOS/ACPI/CPU does not support S3, linux will not magically implement it. This has nothing to do with Windows.

If it does not support anymore S3 mode, yes 😕

Good luck if you can, on some new motherboards you cannot disable S0x in the BIOS and cannot enable S3 as it does not exist anymore.

You can only use this “S0 idle” which is like your cellphone sleeping, meaning everything runs and/or is somewhat disabled in background. Instead of the BIOS disabling things, it’s the OS and the applications and drivers that have to take steps to go sleeping but it’s way from perfect and takes power anyway.

Problem is with laptop. A laptop in S3 (suspend to RAM) can last a few days, a laptop in S0 idle will last a few hours.

I have a MiBand5, pretty good too

True, now it’s HDMI everywhere, but I’d prefer DisplayPort maybe
