seritools··on 3600 MHz Raspberry Pi 5 with Liquid Nitrogen
Yup, on many boards you could either jumper the direction (turbo switch closed= slow or closed = fast), or set it in the BIOS.

> There's a lot of examples of that, like it still being called Unleaded Gas despite it having been so by default for how many decades?

Depending on where you live, about 0.35 decades?

> On 30 August 2021 the United Nations Environment Programme announced that leaded gasoline had been eliminated. The final stocks of the product were used up in Algeria, which had continued to produce leaded gasoline until July 2021.

seritools··on Inside a Ferroelectric RAM Chip
I guess it depends on whether the game cartridges only use it for storing savegames, or as actual additional RAM.
seritools··on Can a Rust binary use incompatible versions of the same library?
> In Rust, Cargo makes this super easy: “x.y.z” means “>= x.y.z, < (x+1).0.0”.

With the added special case of `0.x.y` meaning `>= 0.x.y, < 0.(x+1).0`, going beyond what semver specifies.

seritools··on X ordered to pay €550k to Irish employee fired after yes-or-resign ultimatum
In Germany the minimum time of notice for being fired scales up with your seniority (number of years employed in the company). However, many work contracts add a stipulation that the minimum time of notice from the law be applied to both parties equally, so quitting will also need an advance notice of the same length.
seritools··on Is OpenSUSE at Crossroads?
rename it to openSUS and replace the chameleon with an amogus, problem solved
seritools··on Microsoft Updated Phi-3
Blackjack, hookers, and reified generics!
seritools··on Optical PCIe 7.0 connection hits 128 GT/s
Huh, I was pretty sure that you need an extra chip in-between. Otherwise, the 4 CPU lanes will just drop to 4.0 level.
seritools··on Underscores are stupid? Get a Japanese keyboard (2012)
This is the main reason why I just use the US ANSI layout in germany, together with KbdKaz on Windows for umlauts and a lot of other extra characters and accennts: https://www.omega-com.pl/kbdkaz.htm
seritools··on I Used Netscape Composer in 2024
I love how the "Show code" buttons in 98.css and XP.css are just plain labels, with no indication that they are clickable until you hover over them, as opposed to the easily visible buttons the CSS actually provides x)

Interestingly, the 7.css fixes this by showing them as expander links instead.

And those background tasks can be scheduled onto the slower cores.

Needs a --check that enforces a minimum number of prettier violations per 100 lines :^)

seritools··on Show HN: Rust9x 1.76-beta – Rust on Windows 95+
Added a release and installation instructions now!
seritools··on Show HN: Rust9x 1.76-beta – Rust on Windows 95+
I'll look into how to provide a dist folder as a release/dowload some more!
seritools··on Show HN: Rust9x 1.76-beta – Rust on Windows 95+
Panic unwinding needs VS2005 libraries, which has a minimum supported OS version of 98. So if that's your target OS it'll work.

For 95 you'll need to go down to VS2003, which breaks unwinding (but panic = abort works fine).

If you want unwinding on 95 you need to patch out the IsDebuggerPresent function import from the 2005 msvc runtime still, yeah.

seritools··on Show HN: Rust9x 1.76-beta – Rust on Windows 95+
Without std there is nothing to do, i586-pc-windows-msvc/gnu already work just fine - the PE format hasn't changed, really. Just don't use APIs that don't exist on the OS version you're targeting and you're good to go!
seritools··on JEDEDC publishes new CAMM2 memory module standard
it's super flat, so maybe on the back of the board? can't make the way to the CPU shorter than that :^)
seritools··on Vertical Tabs in Visual Studio Code
workbench.editor.limit.value to change the limit, and workbench.editor.limit.perEditorGroup to change whether the limit applies to each editor group, or the total amount
seritools··on Half-Life 25th Anniversary Update
It's just the original game touched up to work on modern systems. It's still the original experience.

Black Mesa is a full reimplementation (and partly reimagination) by a fan team, with large changes, while keeping the feel mostly intact.

EDIT: title was changed.

seritools··on Blender 4.0 release notes
> It feels like I'm using an Adobe product or similar.

So it's slow, bloated, and crashes regularly?

that doen't answer parent's question.
seritools··on A Man Who Sued Himself (and the IRS) and Won
The Maxwells [the husband and the wife] owned 47.5% of the business each; the other two split the remaining 5%.

47.5 * 2 + 5 = 100

seritools··on MenuetOS: An entire operating system in x86_64 assembly
Kinda weird to use IA for this instead of just looking it up on Wikipedia

    Initial release: May 16, 2000; 23 years ago (32-bit)
seritools··on NIST Standard Peanut Butter – $1,107
Probably the one linked above by Tom Scott, or this one by Veritasium: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esQyYGezS7c

The Veritasium one mentions NIST peanut butter specifically, even.

seritools··on Compiling Rust binaries for Windows 98 SE and more: a journey (2020)
Hard to say in hindsight - I might've looked at the unicows documentation closer again anyways.
seritools··on Compiling Rust binaries for Windows 98 SE and more: a journey (2020)
A couple of reasons of the top of my head:

- msvcrt linked statically

- even when disabling debug and panic unwind, Rust includes the unwind tables in the binary

- unicows import library linked
