da768··on Tell HN: Most DisplayPort cables aren't sold with correct information
I've had good experience with Accell cables so far, they're usually well rated and have proper certification. They do sell HBR3 cables, but nothing more than an announcement for UHBR cables.

EDIT: Club3D is also one of the rare brands selling VESA-certified cables

da768··on HP LaserJet Tank – Refillable laser printer
And there are reports that the 2022 firmware updates now make it harder to use 3rd party toner.
da768··on Apple releases macOS 12.5.1, iOS 15.6.1, patches for two zero-day vulerabilities
IIRC you're replacing the whole OS inage on every update now.

Also, their edge caches are awefully throttled on large downloads if your ISP has one installed. The Akamai CDN performs a lot better. I ended up switching DNS servers just for this.

If you have more than one Mac or iOS device I'd suggest setting up one of your Mac with content cache enabled.

The slideshow just below shows it used as a single monitor.
da768··on Rogers network outage across Canada hits banks, businesses and consumers
They probably bought into SLA clauses claiming Rogers won't have maintenance downtime on both circuits at the same time. That shouldn't be an excuse not to have a backup with another provider.
da768··on A Square Meal – Foods of the ‘20s and ‘30s
Some store fluorescent bulbs produce enough UV, 24/7, to make printed boxes fade away, and turn plastics brittle and yellow. It's not as strong as full sunlight, but it's still there nonetheless.
da768··on MySQL Docker Image for Mac ARM M1
Well that was true until mariadb 10.1 <-> mysql 5.6. Now they diverge too much to assume this.
da768··on MySQL Docker Image for Mac ARM M1
We basically had to fork the official Dockerfile for 5.7, switch to ubuntu-provided packages and change the debconf options + some tzdata problems to work around this.

For 8.0 there are some arm64 images already on Docker Hub, just the oraclelinux variant.

da768··on Help HN: Can't open childhood files
CHT, other than Harvard ChartXL, looks like some printers support it. Could be worth trying to raw print it?

Now maybe that floppy disk has corruption. (You could check if you get the same byte-for-byte output using another drive or give a run of GRC SpinRite worst case)

All the repetitive '31 02' in both CHT and IMG files make it look like it comes from the same app suite or it's just data loss somehow.

KASETA has interesting patterns in a raw pixel viewer, RGB32, 15 pixels wide, but LINEN doesn't seem to be an image.

Tried opening this with Corel Draw, Ventura Publisher or else ?
