Unfortunately devices like the VuPoint - while low cost and accessible - deliver impressively terrible results. It’s a composite to usb converter which will fail to handle delinterlacing and get the colors wrong.
The best bet for people who aren’t going to build a domesday duplicator (which decodes the VHS signal in software), is to stick to technology from the era. Such as later released VHS players which had FireWire out or could even burn a dvd.
Apple has, AFAICT, never required automatic updates. I just checked the iOS 26 settings, and sure enough, I have both download and install automatically turned off. So it is possible.
Another interesting thing about WW2 mail - they would photograph letters onto microfilm, then reprint them on the other end to save valuable shipping capacity.
If your phone supports WiFi calling and dual SIM, you can get a data-only eSIM for the country you're visiting and you'll receive texts for your primary line over the data connection of the secondary eSIM.
It is not a win. In a recent study, Robinhood with Citadel has the worst price improvement (execution quality) of any brokerage on the market. I’ve personally observed this - Robinhood might “improve” by 1/10 of a cent from NBBO while Fidelity is frequently closer to the mid.
I was about to donate until I read things like this and their initiatives like promotion. The incentives are all wrong - donations should go to actual expenses (hosting, hardware, dev meetups, bounties on large contributions), not amassing influence. Wikimedia is an example of everything wrong with not-for-profits, not a model to emulate.
What if we could direct donations to specific components of KDE? I have some longstanding bugs I’d be happy to pay someone to fix.
I use the Intel P4510 (8TB) and have been super impressed with the performance. I also have some older WD SN200’s that are excellent MLC flash. You do need some active cooling for these types of drives such as in the path of a fan.
You can run 4x32 DDR5 on current gen AMD consumer platforms but don't expect speeds above 4400MHz in quad-channel regardless of what the module is rated for. I'd instead suggest dual channel 48GB DIMMs for 96GB at full speed.
So it turns out chrome os ships with a shared library to support L2 (since it's entirely in software). There's a patch to get it working on other Linux distributions.
Yep. And even worse states aren’t allowed to give individuals standing to sue either under the preemption clause (expect for in cases of deceptive advertising via email).
Arguably, > 1G is outside the range of home equipment as most consumers have no need for it. You're asking a 2.5G router, a WiFi 6 AP, and a multi-gig switch all in one package. Most people who care about these also know better than to buy an all-in-one router since they are typically very limited in configuration options, especially if you need any sort of routing tables.
ASUS has some all-in-ones with 2x 10GbE ports but I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.
