I've got the exact same issue : everything set in English but Google still show me results in French. Even going into advanced search and forcing it to show only results in English doesn't work... And I'm not even talking about the crappy results. 2026 is going to be the year I'm leaving Google for good.
Is there a way to contact someone at Algolia? Or @dang maybe?
Re:ReBarUEFI: Resizable BAR for almost any UEFI system on Wednesday June 25, 2025 @03:52PM (#44381240)
From an Intel support page[0] :

  Resizable BAR (Base Address Register) is a PCIe capability. This is a mechanism that allows the PCIe device, such as a discrete graphics card, to negotiate the BAR size to optimize system resources. Enabling this functionality can result in a performance improvement.

I like listening to OST, and especially ones from Trent Reznor (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Gone Girl, The Social Network).

Did you check di.fm ? They have so many channels. There's one called "oldschool acid"[0] if that's what you're looking for.
