I think that's the whole thing. It's a good jumping off point if you have no idea what to look for specifically, but when it gets to the nitty gritty and small details it starts to fall apart.
Samsung Galaxy S5 with an IR remote app in front of a CRT TV in it's main configuration menu
Shout out to my Galaxy S5 for still working long enough to open the IR remote app and fix it
Old CRT TV displaying a message in french instructing you to press the channel up button to scan for live channels.
Days like today I wish smartphones still had IR blasters.
My TV is stuck in french and to change it back or change the channel you need the remote which I haven't seen in a decade lol
Something beautiful happened on my drive home today!
My car's security light, check engine light and airbag lights all turned off on the dash!
They came back on by the time I parked... but for that 5 minute stretch it was glorious!
i built an entire x86 CPU emulator in CSS (no javascript)
you can write programs in C, compile them to x86 machine code with GCC, and run them inside CSS

Bring back fun 3D program UIs!
My go-to is just an old desktop or laptop I had laying around with a wireless keyboard. Bonus points you can do games too
This is peak web design
Screenshot of Microsoft Word 2000 correcting the spelling of "neighbor" to "neighbour" following the local language settings of English (Canada).
Screenshot showing the alt text description in the previous image where Chrome incorrectly suggests "neighbour" is spelled incorrectly despite the device's local language settings.
This 25 year old copy of Microsoft Word knows the difference between Canadian and American spellings. Why can't anything built using Chromium??
It infuriates me that modern software does not respect or follow local language settings on devices anymore.
"Neighbour" is correctly spelt with the 'u' in it, yet Chrome and everything built on Chromium insists on flagging it wrong and trying to conform everything to American english.
That Dell Dimension is peak PC case design
Maybe he thinks everyone is still buying DVDs
This is disgusting
This is crazy cool!
How would you set up a new machine in an area with no internet access?
I'm not here for a conversation with ChatGPT or for someone who has never written C to tell me my understanding of the language is wrong. Maybe try reading some real documentation and tutorials to familiarize yourself with the language instead of asking AI to think for you.
I wrote an entire HTTP library in C for a lastfm plugin 3 years ago. I have a pretty good understanding of how strings and memory management work in the language.
Never rely on AI for real information. It has no real intelligence and is frequently just wrong. I used the wrong slash because I was on my phone, but \0 is 100% a null terminator in C. There is no regex in C, and strings are just arrays of chars in memory.
Length is calculated by running through the array until you hit /0. Since that's the first byte it thinks there's no string data. It's the difference of buffer size vs data length. Can use that trick to store multiple strings in a single block.
I miss being able to drop back into the basic HTML version
They have EVs still running on the same battery after 15+ years?
Bring back Amber monitors.
I always wonder what kind of climate these cars are in and how that impacts battery life. Where I am we get -40 in the winter and +40 in the summer. Even on a new EV you could see up to 35% capacity loss in the cold months.
How much on an EV would be owner serviceable where you could just go to a junk yard to buy cheap replacement parts to drop in for repairs also?
My car is 25 years old and still running on the original engine and transmission. If this was an EV would I still have a usable battery when our weather drops to -40C over the winter and +40 in the summer?
