At home I use two Toshiba MG09ACA18TE's and they work like a charm. I've bought them at around US$20/TB and it was the best price/TB offer at that time.

At work we use Exos X18's and Exos X20's without any problem at all.

I'm wondering if there is a chance of a PC release. The modern-day system releases of the first two episodes are released to PS4 and Switch only.

Sadly I don't know what the actual uptime is but I think it's close to a year.

I hope it's not the start of the decline of the Xperia 5 series.

wired.bluemarch.art runs on the cheapest Hetzner VPS, so €4.18 per month plus yearly domain cost. Right now there is only one active user on this instance so the price for an active user is a bit high, but I don't really care because I would pay for a VPS even when I don't run a Lemmy instance on it.

This method seems to not work reliably with Brother-HL-L2370DN-series printers right now. At least after a quick search I've found a bug report about an infinite loop problem in certain circumstances and sadly with my HL-L2372DN I was unable to print at all (infinite loop with occasional ! USB[0]: zero-size read error; CUPS 2.4.10 and ipp-usb 0.9.27).

For Brother HL-L2372DN it is possible to use Gutenprint with the supplied Generic PCL 6 Printer wide margin printer driver but two sided printing is quirky sometimes if you print odd number of pages.

Anyway, thanks for your post!

GIMP 3.0 has been more than one decade in the making as the port from GTK2 to GTK3, also transitioning away from Python 2 to Python 3 support, and a wealth of other improvements from the UI to lower down into enhancing this open-source Photoshop alternative.

The GIMP project announced on X/Twitter today that they have entered the string freeze for this much anticipated release.

Phoronix did a really in-depth review of Zen 5 which is refreshing. From the Windows based gaming biased benchmarks you can't really see where Zen 5 really shines.

btw {"code":"command-failure","msg":"ffprobe Failed with exit status: 1"} on the tl;dr image.

Debian with Docker containers works well for my needs.

Gentoo Linux was one of the last few Linux distributions continuing to maintain Itanium (IA-64) architecture builds but that is now being phased out for those discontinued Intel processors.

Introducing Raspberry Pi Pico 2 (www.raspberrypi.com)

We’re happy to announce the launch of Raspberry Pi Pico 2, our second-generation microcontroller board, built on RP2350: a new high-performance, secure microcontroller designed here at Raspberry Pi.

With a higher core clock speed, twice the memory, more powerful Arm cores, new security features, and upgraded interfacing capabilities, Pico 2 delivers a significant performance and feature uplift, while retaining hardware and software compatibility with earlier members of the Pico series.

Pico 2 is on sale now, priced at $5.

On this Saturday (tomorrow) my boss asked me to get to work, because of a “family day”, for no real pay and no additional leaves, especially not for a month at least, because the aforementioned construction work.

In normal circumstances you should've got a weekly work time schedule where it's written down and if there's no work for Saturday in that schedule then the call for Saturday work can be ignored. (Munka törvénykönyve 97. § (4).)

Thanks to "veszélyhelyzet" (bruh) that rule is temporarily changed now for national defense employees. (120/2020. (IV. 16.) Korm. rendelet 5. § (7).) If my interpretation is right that rule should remain unchanged for employees who are not a national defense employee.

I think you should read Munka törvénykönyve 56. A rendkívüli munkaidő too.

In addition I also have epilepsy, and my medication has really strong side effects, many of which are so bad that I should have been given different medication, except my doctor refuses to see me.

I think you should search for an another doctor if you can. You don't have to visit your old general practitioner to sign up at a new one, they can exchange data behind the scenes.

I don't think so. As I see it in the Lemmyverse there are threads without comments (image posts for example) but if there's a topic with a question or where opinions can made you can find activity there.

Yeah, it's not a million subscriber reddit community level activity, but it's still activity.

Hi,

I am planning to build a computer based around a Motorola 68000 just for fun. I already ordered 3 MC68HC000FN20's from a Chinese eBay seller but they are visibly rebadged chips with rough surface so there's a chance they are not 68000's at all - we'll see when I can test them in an open loop as described in '68000 Hardware Manual'.

Anyway, I think it would be wise to buy a non-counterfeit one from a trusted seller. I tried to search for a shop where 68000's still sold and I found that I could buy a "MC68HC000FN, 20 MHz" or a "CPU 68000/8 MHz Motorola (64-pin DIL)" from Vesalia Computer for 11.9 EUR. I would like to ask is there a trusted shop where I can buy a not necessarily NOS MC68000/MC68HC000 for a cheaper price within the EU?
