Most web browsers will have a hard limit on WASM apps that will be around 200-300 MB of binary size, and your RAM will be limited too.

Try opening a full-featured WASM game on iPad and weep.

Source: I’ve ported an open-source game to WASM. Worked fine on my PC, not so well anywhere else.

SDL provides you a framebuffer with 640x480 pixels and 24-bit color, with a delicious pixel-perfect 8x12 monospace font, on every OS and every device, and this is everything you will ever need. Titlebar? Close button? Your app is perfect, it needs no close button. It will be running 24/7 in a fullscreen mode, and the user will be happy! Other apps? Pah! Let them run on a second, smaller monitor!

Active radar on the border I suppose. And I guess it’s more for assisted geolocation with GPS jammed than to send commands to change course.

However it may be for that too, the miltech is not beyond implementing stupid ideas into actual hardware.

Try saying Tibet on a bus stop, and watch your ass getting hauled to the nearest police station in like 30 seconds.

Who would benefit from disrupting Ubuntu sofrware updates? Seems related to the recently discovered kernel vulnerability. Some state-funded cybercrime unit needs a bit more time to infect your servers before you update them.

It comes with a copy of Internet Explorer, and a copy of MS-DOS.

Wow, that was an intense self-diacovery.

They do use radioactive decay in archeology to measure time, but the precision is within a thousand years.

I’m not falling asleep, my laptop is falling asleep.

The problem is that it never wakes up. The solution is to disable every low-power option in system settings, and pretend that my laptop is very critical server, because Debian is made for servers.

Never heard of such clock. You’ll also need to regularly recalibrate your radioactive sample, because it decreases in weight over time. And you need a Geiger counter to measure that radiation, which is also not super precise.

A regular crystal oscillator seems better.

Nope. Quantum events are random. A clock requires precise periodic events, it cannot use random noise.

I grieved when I bought a used laptop with Windows pre-installed. I immediately performed a ritual of Debian purification.

Windows, or any other corporate MICROS~1 product dying is a cause for celebration.

Discomfort with new modem technology shapes frustration as no modern terminal application has ZModem support.

In theory yes. In practice no one wants to try it.

Almost every organic molecule has a mirrored counterpart, like a normal screw and a left-handed screw.

Almost none of them occur in the nature.

So we have the technology to synthesize them now, and synthesize a bacteria out of them.

But if you do that, and the bacteria escapes, all your existing medicine will be useless, so you need to re-synthesize all your antibiotics in left-hand configuration.

That typically does not happen with regular bacteria experiments, because most of what you can synthesize in the lab will be a descendant of some other well-known bacteria, which already have an appropriate medicine to treat it, and in most cases it will be effective against your new strain.

Pascal. Specifically, Borland Pascal for DOS.

Well yes, but you still do not pay each year, this means MICROS~1 is losing profits (in their eyes, and compared to Adobe).

OEM licenses are also bad, because MICROS~1 is selling each copy of Windows for a significant discount, not for $199.99 retail price. And users can even transfer non-OEM licenses to another PC (oh horror!)

And yet, here we are. Until 2010, Microsoft would say - “What are you gonna do about it, install Linux and edit .doc files in vim lolol?”, but now users would just buy Chromebook instead.

Coincidentally, Windows did not get any new features since Windows 95 up to Windows 8, because why change the atrocious Control Panel if users are gonna buy it anyway?

So they either decided that running a device driver certification program is too expensive, or they are panicking and adding dumb shit to Windows to maintain an appearance of doing something to shareholders.
