How do you know this? AFAIK the raw I/Q values, voltage levels aren't recorded anywhere. The printout only shows the integrated signal strength over 10s periods.

With ntfs you have to create a separate partition though. With btrfs you could create a subvolume and just have one big partition for both linux and windows.

This seems to run a VM rather than natively supporting linux syscalls. So termux will be more performant with its natively compiled binaries than this solution.

Re:Have you ever seen soldering THIS close? [video]
on Thursday September 19, 2024 @03:44AM (#41589503)
As for “high lead solder” - you won’t buy it in Europe. We had to learn using lead free for rework and you know what - it’s not much different, assuming you have high quality equipment.
That's bollocks. You can buy leaded solder in Europe just fine. You only need to worry about lead-free if you want to sell a commercial product.

Re:Moon-forming impactor as a source of Earth's basal mantle anomalies
on Thursday November 02, 2023 @03:37AM (#38110101)
It's interesting that the LLVPs are beneath mineral rich parts of the world. One of the blobs is under Africa and the other is beneath the Clarion-Clipperton Zone. Is it possible that these extra-terrestrial impactors also affected the mineral content of the crust, not just the mantle?

What worries me is that 2 months have passed since the vulnerability was fixed and yet there is no new version released which contains the patch... So you're exposed unless you build ZT from source.
Re:India is leading IPv6 migration with 61.67% adoption
on Sunday August 15, 2021 @10:37AM (#28189077)
That's not quite true. IPv6 has privacy extensions which generate randomized suffixes. A website would still be able to track you with the common prefix. Tracking the prefix is more or less the same as tracking an IPv4 address. If you're worried about tracking than you're better off using a VPN than a NAT gateway (both of which is also possible with IPv6).

Not to mention that nvidia uses proprietary configuration options even in Xorg.conf. A multi-monitor configuration which works fine in nouveau (or really any other driver) refuses to work with nvidia, because if you use the binary driver you have to set bizarre metamode options to make it work.

on Tuesday August 11, 2020 @01:58PM (#24123490)
Lenovo slowly transitioned away from IBM's design over the years. They are now using cheaper plastics and have horrible chassis designs which dig into your wrists due to their non-rounded edges. They're trying to make Thinkpads look more slick while at the same time reducing the cost to manufacture them. IMHO the Thinkpad can no longer be considered a platform which you can safely buy knowing that every component will be fully supported in Linux. Some hardware components are not even working correctly in Windows or are faulty (I'm looking at you Fibocom WWAN modem; see: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-T400-T500-and-newer-T-...). I would happily buy from any other brand if they have a laptop model with a good trackpoint.
Re:The Sci-Hub Effect: Sci-Hub downloads lead to more article citations

I think what they're hinting at is that without SciHub, even a popular paper would have less exposure. Some papers which cite a popular publication can only do so, because they could download the referenced one through SciHub.

You can still switch to Audit mode during install using SHIFT-F2, follow https://bartsimons.me/sysprep-generalize-windows-image-witho... to disable OOBE, then replace e.g. Narrator.exe with cmd.exe and set an administrator password. After that you can revert Narrator.exe back. It's a bit complicated, but it works and you don't have to create any additional accounts if you don't want to.
