WANTED: Intel Architecture Labs 1990’s CD-ROM’s. They appear to have maybe been monthly. They contained a mirror of Intel’s ‘download.intel.com’ ftp server, specifically the /ial/ subdirectory which is not in the 2014 backup of the site on archive.org.

Lots and lots of white papers and design guideline documents in there. Especially looking for ones from the late 1990’s (1998-ish onward) if they exist. I’ve seen references in mailing lists to them that lead me to believe they do.

I love Oblivion's mechanics so much more than skyrim's. Just got my illusion skill to a point where I can cast invisibility whenever and I should now be unstoppable 😈

“Seeing with the Hands” is the latest #CHI2025 research from our lab Shan-Yuan with Gene S-H Kim and Xuanyou (Zed) Liu. We explore a sensory substitution that enables a flexible way of seeing (vision-to-electrotactile), e.g., hover an object and feel its shape before grasping if one cannot see! Next talk (in 10m) at Annex F204!

Maybe hell is just entering your email and password over and over with a TV remote.

I am now up to date on Android Studio's use of .aar dependencies and know that you need to fully delete a module if you ever hope to truly remove it from the build cache 🤪

Went for a walk on my lunch break and got totally soaked in the thunderstorm 🤪 I swear I saw a flash if lightning just a few meters away before a bigger bolt hit a tree.

My honest opinion: Taxpayer money should be spent wisely. That means investing in #opensource software, not expensive proprietary technology. Better value, more transparency, and no vendor lock-in.

Hey ! I'm planning to start a new meetup for decentralized tech next month on Friday May 19th. Anyone interested in joining in? We'll start by looking at some file sharing protocols.

Would it be too much to ask that OS's stop introducing breaking changes all the time? 🙃 Having to rework builds every year is exhausting.

I think federation is cool but unlike eugen I am aware it is fundamentally incompatible with recreating network effect corporate tech platforms and I think that's a good thing. like I'm so fine with being in a network of like, 12 servers loosely connected to a network of 100 itself tenuously connected to the wider world where a handful of people trickle in and self select for the vibes we have cultivated. I think it would be neat if I could have the same experience with every other tech product as well

Now that I went through the hell of turning an example Android app to a library, I now get to go through the hell of figuring out how Android studio uses aar files now, and then the hell of figuring out how chromium's Android build system to figure out how to pull an asset out of the AAR into somewhere the Java side can read

An evil witch (me at the buffet) has cursed me with "tummy hurty" using foul magickz (too much heavy food)

This little guy is out there holding on for dear life. The wind almost knocked him off the tree.

You don't necessarily need to say "image of" in your alt text for users to know it's an image. Screen readers will announce that it's an image. But it can help readers to specify if it's a hand-drawn image, Polaroid, infographic, screenshot, chart, map, diagram, or so on.

google is discontinuing support for first-generation nest thermostats.

it is time for lawmakers to implement a »support-or-open-source« regulation. it is ok to not want to support »obsolete« technologies forever, but it should be mandatory to make it open source when and if you stop the support.
