    The Communication Cube

    This sounds more like a thought experiment that got interpreted as the actual result of a simulation.

    There are also the Eastern Arabic numerals, that are different from the "Arabic numerals". (Which I discovered when I got a bug report titled "The dialer uses Arabic Numbers" when working on an Arab variant of the software)

    How to do PC gaming with a sense of security and privacy?

    I was thinking about logging into a gaming-specific user to install and run games. But if everything goes through a manager, running that manager as a separate user should work.

    How to do PC gaming with a sense of security and privacy?

    Having one user per game seems a bit over-cautious to me. Unless you have some sensitive game accounts maybe...

    How to do PC gaming with a sense of security and privacy?

    I guess you could have a user meant for games and never sudo anything from that user. This should limit the risk of a game or game-related software accessing sensitive data.

    What are you playing this weekend/these days?

    It more or less exist but in practice it's rarely good enough. The design has to be perfectly clean, take into account all the edge cases and be specified in a way that can convey everything. And if the designer were able to do this, they could just as well do the code directly. Generally when...

    SD card format woes

    First of all, you have to be careful with cheap SD card. Unless they come from reliable sellers, they are often either corrupt cards or lower density cards that lie about their size. You can find some information about sd card formatting for the Pandora here...

    Apple, the Evil Itself or cool electronic toys?

    The worst is that it's not just devices but also software, features and services. There was a time where new technology was exciting but now even when it is, it's tied to shitty things that'll spy on you. Now when I read something about a new feature I'm like "that could have been cool, but I'll...

    Box86 - Linux Userspace x86 Emulator

    As far as I know there is no PND nor any pre-compiled file available. So you'll need the CodeBlocks PND. You then run its command line and type: This will retrieve the last version of the box86 code. Once it's done you move to the box86 directory then you type this will generate the box86...

    Apple, the Evil Itself or cool electronic toys?

    First iPhone had less features at release than most dumbphones at the time. It didn't have an app store and couldn't even send MMS. The other smartphones were far from ideal but I'm still saddened that the iPhone took over and destroyed all alternatives. I liked my M600 with its qwerty keyboard...

    Apple, the Evil Itself or cool electronic toys?

    For the guitar I liked to use an e-book reader. I could keep it displayed for as long as I wanted without worrying about the battery.

    How to install/ play Tetris GB classic on Pandora with Zaxxon?

    I also recommend updating to the latest SuperZaxxon. For the PNDs you can use the PNDManager (found in the Pandora Repo), it will let you browse the repo and install the pnd directly from the app.

    Veganism

    The reason pandas are in danger of extinction is mostly humans taking over their territories. They don't mate a lot, but that's more of an advantage when you have few predators and risk starvation if your population gets too high.

    The last one, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, is a pretty fun game with a few nice twists and even more quality voice acting.
