Dell chargers only work (reliably, and at capacity) with Dell devices. Also Dell devices will (sometimes) refuse to work with 3rd party chargers.

Get a charger that displays the voltage & current being output on a port and you will quickly see what devices adhere to standards.

The USC-C port doesn't guarantee compatibility. Manufacturers are being evil and pushing proprietary protocols over open standards.

Lol, that's what I thought this was about too.

Why don't these people/companies think about how hard it will be to search for their $thing !?

Do you know what the maximum SD card size that it'll support? I'm especially interested if a 1TB card will work.

Here's an easy script to scan for compromised packages:

Not my script. It's easy to read/parse. Never pipe a script directly to bash.

I loved the look of the fonts on DOS after I upgraded from a C64. My favorite was the exclamation mark on 1024x768 (VGA). It had curves! Pointy at the bottom right above the dot, and the rounded curve at the top. I've never found a monospace non-bitmapped font that had the same character. (ha!)

I have encountered the exact same kind of frustration, and no amount of prompting seems to prevent it from "randomly" happening.

`the error is on line #145 fix it with XYZ and add a check that no string should ever be blank`

It's the randomness that is frustrating, and that the fix would be quicker to manually input that drives me crazy. I fear that all the "rules" I add to claude.md is wasting my available tokens it won't have enough room to process my request.

Similar in concept but for different reasons; does anybody know of a way to convert images into a '8bit pixel map'?

My wife likes to take images and crochet them into tapestry/blankets/cozies.

It seems to me that if we could get a grid overlay onto an image she could then make whatever she wanted. (One color per 'pixel')

Could you please describe your use-case? How do you use it? How do you make use of it?

I use Claude code, so I understand that paradigm; I don't grok this though. Is it any different then going to a web page i.e. gemini.google.com and typing your query there?

Could this side bar have been a "search bar" at the top? Now that I say it out lou, adding them to the 'search providers' isn't a bad idea.

Generally speaking I am against this being shoved at us, but I find it as a useful tool in a limited number of areas.

But the 90s was only 20-years ago!

lol, you got me. Stupid old brain not calculating time correctly.

It absolutely is worth trying. I look forward to it being battle tested and proven. I just don't want to be the one doing the testing.

rg, fzf, and several others that I can't think have proven to me that rust is the direction going forward.

I've been a fan of all rust-based utilities that I've used. I am worried that 20+ (??) years of bug fixes and edge-case improvements can't be accounted for by simply using a newer/better code-base.

A lot of bug fixes/exploits are _CAUSED_ by the C+ core, but still... Tried & true vs new hotness?

This comment does not deserve to be flagged. It is worth knowing the bias of the source as it taints everything it touches.

Canada should re-enact the AutoPact [0] (tldr: I don't see this in the wiki article, but the real benefit was; for every 3 cars sold in Canada, 1 had to be 'made' in Canada). This was ruled as unfair under NAFTA and thus terminated. It also had the effect of incredible auto-industry cutbacks.

BUT, with a new contender (China); we could re-enact it, rebuild our diminished blue-collar manufacturing base; and hasten the rollout of EV vehicles. Which is the real objective here.

IMHO, that would be a solid win for everybody.

The day-to-day impact of being diagnosed is practically non-existant for me. It might explain "why" I might react to a specific stimuli but it doesn't stop the reaction. At best it's something to laugh about with my wife. It does also offer an early-warning system when I'm over stimulated and that I need to 'get home' soon.
