  • I use my mice at over 20k dpi, and for the longest time the sensors got increasingly more accurate but still had the rare wiggle. Especially with cars driving by.
    To stop my system waking I first started turning the mouse upside down, but later instead propped it half up on the rim of my keyboard. That latter is really quite convenient, might also work for you.



  • As long as you don’t run out of memory, you can actually insert and lookup in O(1) time for a known space of values (that we have). Therefore we do get the quadratic speedup, that when dealing with bits of keysize or entropy means cutting it in half.
    Checking to get a specific uuid takes 128bit, so 2128 draws of a uuid. Putting all previous uuids into a table we expect a collision in 64bit, so 264. We also need about that much storage to contain the table, so some tens of exabytes.

    That info is a mess, and doesn’t really apply to the topic. It’s also misleading.

    The root of the word afaik is found in exactly one word each of the three relevant languages: “deutsch”, “duits”, “dutch”.

    “deutsch” is german and means german.
    “duits” is dutch and means german.
    “dutch” is english and means dutch.

    So if you literally translate “dutch land” using their closest equivalents based on word history into any germanic language, you will obtain “german land” i.e. germany.
    No idea what english was doing here, but every germanic language can agree the word-family of dutch should have it mean german.
    Maybe the netherlands were the only relevant country to england so they just called those particular duitsmen the only duits and then had to replace the original meaning of the word with german when duits was changed.

    Either way, the etymology of the word “þiudiskaz” is definitely not the reason the dutch are called that in english, the reason for that must be in english itself probably in the last 500 years somewhere. It is a uniquely english and relatively modern phenomenon, forming the meme of this post since it neither makes sense nor matches and of the actual nations or native languages involved.



  • If you have anything larger than a home installation you easily get some horribly mistuned antennae that let phones receive wifi but don’t catch the response at the same dbm, leading to phones hanging in their now broken wifi when walking out, or repeating connection attempts when walking in.
    I had to block the wifi of my university for that, as it would regularly drop my internet if I went past any of their buildings. Also made me disable wifi calls


  • Efi spec states it must be safe to delete all variables. It’s only motherboards not adhering to the spec that are affected, effectively faulty hardware.
    If you do this on a mb from that era chances are nothing will happen, and if something does happen chances are it is recoverable. You’d have to have some truly bad luck on your choice of mb to have it be permanently bricked by that.
