emoji characters are cancer given visual form. I'm okay with them as _icons_ in github comments (showing people's reactions), but to use them in the place...

Now that I think about this, shouldn't the mux be accessible via i2c (or i3c)?

[the-burrito-triangle]

Weird. The multiplexer should be able to switch inputs in real time... WTF are the laptop vendors / OS people doing wrong here? Maybe it's a BIOS problem,...

I'm confused. My old Lenovo Kabby Lake laptop was "instant on" with Windows 10... Intel came up with S0ix for "modern standby" so...

You mean 13th and 14th Gen processors? 12th Gen Alderlake was not affected by the self-destructing CPU die syndrome. Intel's incredibly delayed response...

Wine's bug tracker is annoying to use when uploading files, but otherwise is passable. Getting someone willing to bisect a bug is hit or miss, but I've...

I don't get why avis gets all this hate thrown his way. I actually appreciate him making bug reports for things like Wine and the kernel. If we all sent...

I'm tempted buy one of these new Intel cards. They will have excellent video decoding / encoding and great OpenCL performance, but I hesitate to buy one...

An analog signal is NOT the best way to report load usage. EMI, and a myriad of other common issues can add so much noise that it becomes meaningless....

[the-burrito-triangle]

But what modern motherboard (desktop or laptop) still has a piezoelectric buzzer on board? My Z590 Vision D does not have one and did not include one...

Flatpak is nice to use for certain things, but for a one-off app (say TLPUI), it downloads a lot of redundant / unneeded crap. I usually use "--no-related...

I agree, but GSM does do somethings that at least Mission Center doesn't do: like the "properties" window that shows extra details about a process...

Have you ever tried to use the equation editor in LibreOffice? It's horrible. Should I use LaTeX instead? Probably. But sometimes I'd like to add pretty...

The GPIB subsystem sound interesting. I have around $20k in test equipment (mainly HP and Tektronix with some Keithley gear) that uses this interface....

[the-burrito-triangle]

OnlyOffice is a superior experience and has much better support for MS Word .doc/docx and .xls/xlsx documents. I gave Libreoffice an honest try, but it...

[the-burrito-triangle]

Oh no! He said "slave"! So many people will now feel oppressed and stop working on the kernel... Honestly, I've been laughing at how crazy the...

[the-burrito-triangle]

Is there any benefit of using F2FS over EXT4, XFS, or BTRFS?

[the-burrito-triangle]

And the gulf in performance between Zen 5 and Intel's Arrow Lake just got larger, lol. Sucks to be Intel right now. I say this as a long time Intel user...
