I'm firmly on team "dual USB port" for this problem. We do this on computers, which can then perfectly well charge and play audio at the same time. Why not phones? It seems like there's plenty of space for a second port.
the usb port is much more complicated than a 3.5mm port. It is more expensive, it takes more space. Do you add another real port or a built in hub? (they would go with the latter, probably)
I started seeing this term come up everywhere when Overwatch first released. The common usage is much closer to mystery bundles as you describe, and regulators tend to be upset about them when real money gets involved. It feels an awful lot like gambling at that point.
I've owned and used the CR-48 prototype Chromebook model, which very well did have a developer mode and a third kernel option built right in. Ran Ubuntu on it with no issues. This has been possible since before the device family was officially available for purchase.
The school thing is different, but also hardly unique. A school issued macbook is often similarly locked down and unusable as a dev machine, due to the student lacking permissions to install anything the school deems dangerous.
I've had pretty good success with CleanRip https://wiibrew.org/wiki/CleanRip#Wii_DAT_download for acquiring ROM files. With it, I was able to backup my entire personal collection with minimal fuss, and can now enjoy that collection in HD with Dolphin's various enhancements.
For verification you generally want the Redump database, which has checksums for most disc-based console releases. Unfortunately they seem to be offline at the moment, or I'd share a canonical link. Look around for that.
That the news sites allow bottom of the barrel advertisers on their site primarily reflects negatively on the news site, for not curating their partnerships. They decided to become a tabloid, and should lose an according amount of respect.
Ha, my first thought is that I'd likely break this system. My page synchronizes its animation playback rate to an audio worklet, because I need to do both anyway, and some experimentation determined that syncing to audio resulted in smooth frame pacing across most browsers. This means that requestAnimationFrame has the very simple job of presenting the most recently rendered frame. It ignores the system time and, if there isn't a new frame to present yet, does nothing.
Hello! I'm an experienced systems administrator and software engineer, with primary experience in the web hosting space and lots of secondary experience poking around low level hardware. I took a sabbatical to do NES development and start my own business, and now I'm re-entering the workforce. (The business is doing fine, but my first game isn't ready to sell just yet.) It looks like lots of AI stuff happened while I was out!
I love deep technical dives. My professional background favors web hosting with an emphasis on docker and kubernetes, but I'm open to explore. I've worked in customer facing technical support roles, and I do rather miss the human interactions. I'm comfortable on most Linux systems, with strong RedHat and SUSE experience in particular.
I've found that I rather enjoy working with assembly languages. I've picked up enough Verilog to simulate custom cartridge hardware (via FPGA) and do lightweight audio synthesis. If I return to college, it'll be to pursue an Electrical Engineering degree. For now, it remains a delightful fun hobby.
The product this site is selling is AI chatbots for customer support.
HN would normally hate everything about this site and this product. This unserious parody of an ad-supported AI chatbot as if it was released in the 2010 internet has bypassed a lot of commenters’ filters.
I've been pretty happy with my Framework Desktop, though I managed to snag it before RAM prices shot through the roof. Currently, a tricked out model is around $2500.
Mine sees more use as a Steam machine, but it can run decently large models. Ollama was trivial to get working, and qwen3-coder-next spits out paragraphs of text/code in seconds. I don't really do anything with that, but it's fun to mess around with. (LLMs are still pretty bad at assembly language.)
I've had no trouble with syncthing on Android. It just has access to the sync folders, as far as I can tell. Seems to work great, even if I've got the same file open simultaneously on several devices. I use a tablet in my kitchen to show my TODO at all times.
