    @lisyarus for the latter it's mainly personal experience with heavy-duty numerical codes, but that might just be my application field (science); videogames is likely to be much more tolerant towards such numerical anomalies, leading to funny videos about bouncing tanks or speedrunning exploits.4/4

    New @Vivaldi release on mobile. Finally we have 2 level tab stacks on iOS and we are putting significant efforts into desktop mode on Android. I am very excited about that. The idea that you can just connect your phone to a dock with keyboard, screen and mouse and have a fully working computer is great! Not just a mirror, but a full desktop environment. This has been around for a while on Samsung phones through DEX, but is now coming to Android in general and we see this as an interesting challenge to bring a true desktop experience to this environment. Obviously having things like tabs, tab stacks and panels gives us a head start, but we will continue to work on this.#Android #ios #Technology #Computing https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-on-mobile-7-9/

    My 15 yr old Win7 laptop needs replacing. I think I need to move to Linux, to avoid the Windows11 subscription, AI features and telemetry nonsense.The new PC will also needs to r/w discs, or have a box to RW discs, as I have CDs and DVDs that I still want to use.Should I get a refurbished laptop / mini PC / normal PC, with Win10 and install Linux? I will be a complete Linux newbie so simple answers, please.#computing #linux #win10tolinux

    Maybe we need to update #RTFM. Actual manuals are rare beasts these days. Youโ€™re more likely to find the information you need online, whether itโ€™s in the form of PDF datasheets, forum posts or Git gists.It should really be RTFAI, in which the AI isnโ€™t what you think but stands for โ€˜Available Informationโ€™. But thatโ€™s a bit of a mouthful, so perhaps just RTFI. Or we could just say โ€˜Readโ€™, followed (if you feel strongly about it) by FFS. RFFS?#tech #technology #maker #computer #computing

    Just wild. While cleaning out a university basement, staff found a tape of what's believed to be the only remaining copy of Bell Labs #Unix v4 from 1973.https://www.theregister.com/2025/11/07/unix_fourth_edition_tape_rediscovered/#history #belllabs #computing #tech
