I wonder how similar this is to a Rife machine. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Rife

gordo4on Setting Up a Pi Hole Made My Home Network Faster

PCEngines APU

That app was built by a UW student and uses estimated data based on the schedule, as far as I know. It's not accurate... unless things have changed in the last year or so since I moved.

gordo4on Vietnam’s Empty Forests

They burn trash and toilet paper in the ditch beside the road in Guanacaste. To be fair, the roads aren't paved, and there are no gas stations or infrastructure. Yes, ecotourism is big in Costa Rica, but they aren't perfect either. Maybe only in the touristy areas....

gordo4on Show HN: X-spreadsheet – A JavaScript canvas spreadsheet for web

I have literally never seen spreadsheet abbreviated as SS. Spreadsheet is one word. Your comment comes off as trying too hard to be negative. Try some actual constructive feedback why don't ya?

gordo4on Scammers are changing the contact details for banks on Google Maps

OsmAnd is far superior to Google Maps in my opinion, especially for backcountry offline navigation. It's one of the most important apps when traveling abroad or when cell service is spotty. Google Maps is basically useless in rural South America, for example... and OSM is actually more up to date than Google Maps when it comes to river crossings, etc... and POI data is available for offline use. Google Maps can't even do offline navigation and rerouting.

gordo4on How Many Computers Are in Your Computer?

Yo Dawg" is an image macro series based on portrait shots of American hip hop artist Alvin Nathaniel Joiner (better known by his stage name Xzibit) and humorous captions that are composed around the recursive phrasal template "Yo Dawg, I herd you like (noun X), so I put an (noun X) in your (noun Y) so you can (verb Z) while you (verb Z)." Since rising to popularity in early 2007, the series has been considered one of the most well-known and longest lasting examples of recursive humor on the Internet.

gordo4on Linux on Dex

I use this as an external monitor for my Chromebook Pixel which I use when I travel. Asus provides a USB A adapter for the USB C cable. I can plug the monitor's USB C cable into a USB C hub's A port, and do power passthrough and run a keyboard and mouse off the other A ports. Assuming your C hub does power passthrough it should charge fine.

USB C hubs with power passthrough, 3 USB A ports, and an HDMI port exist too, so you could run the USB display, HDMI, and a keyboard and mouse all from a single USB C port.

It will depend on their port configuration and display link integration though. The HDMI port might try to claim the USB display bus or whatever, and I'm not sure if you can put multiple USB displays on a single port like that. One will definitely work though.

you know he's dead, right? don't think he'll be weighing in on much any more.

gordo4on Tell HN: Google requiring phone number to log into Chromebook

I put January 1, 1970 as my birthday, and sometimes I can tell sites convert to timestamp and then it rejects my entry because it evaluates to zero which is falsely.

gordo4on When antibiotics turn toxic

fluoroquinolones are nasty stuff... should be reserved for extreme cases, like anthrax poisoning, etc... where the benefits outweigh the cons.

gordo4on How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the State Machine

just use inverted sword asset on mace weapon if you're lazy. melee is what you're talking about though. probably best to make melee a different weapon configuration and change to it when wielding. or make melee a weapon modifier. but the assets would differ, at least, in how the attack is drawn, but we could be talking about only a backend here, and UI is irrelevant.

gordo4on Non-admin user in High Sierra can approve a kernel module to be loaded

You have to be admin to load it in the first place though... The confirmation is just fluff. That being said though...

I quit using OSX after I tried High Sierra.

Going back to a Linux desktop has been glorious. I appreciate it more now than ever.
