European here, I suggest Bosch or Electrolux, if that’s available in your part of the world.

Jeans in the dryer? They’ll definitely shrink that way.

I have a 10 year old Canon MP280 still going strong. It’s one of the ultra cheap ones, I believe originally sold for something like 20$ at a sale. The only problem it has nowadays is that it occasionally makes some ink blotches in a corner of the page.

They meant the command dtrx, the combination of dtrx as parameters to tar make no sense. Extract AND append?

Then comes a .tar.bz2 file along and you’re screwed. xtract je vucking file?

Pro tip: -z, -j are not needed by tar anymore since many years, tar will autodetect what compression was used if your distro is anything remotely modern.

Look up preemptive task scheduling. Basic processes will get interrupted after using a too long time slice.

Is there a 6502 backend?

Yeah it’s many years that I haven’t had to specify z, j etc.

Re: the image in this article:

Why are these QFP chips through-hole? Looks like the bastard child of QFP and DIP.

Hmm you need to download some more RAM

There’s another aspect than size that I feel people overlook: security updates. When e.g. libcurl is duplicated in a million places, how do you update them all when a critical security issue is discovered in it? Who will update all the random flatpaks, snaps and docker images that happen to include it?

Agree with you fully on the shortcut front, and it’s very confusing that ctrl is separate from the command key. The whole keyboard layout is also a nightmare, but this is probably because I’m in Sweden, where the Swedish mac keyboard layout is radically different from the normal Swedish keyboard layout that all other computers use. When I help out someone with programming on a mac, I always end up telling them “please press pipe” or tilde, braces, backslash, or even at-sign, as these are not printed on the keys. They are accessible through the option key, but you’ll have to test all combinations to find which one is where and memorize this.

I looked up the backgammon start position, since then all Google wants to sell me is backgammon boards.
