It was sad to hear the fifteen minute warning on the intercom and to watch Gary lock up front for the last time.


Maybe it's snooty holier-than-thou posts by users of password managers, lacking in substance or any real argument, that lets the majority of password users remain unconvinced.


Password managers make me nervous for two reasons: (1) if someone breaches the password manager, they have all your passwords, rather than one, and (2) you have to trust the source of the password manager that it doesn't have an intentional backdoor - even if it was trustworthy, every update is the potential for a new problem.

Also, in my experience, you're not allowed to use one at work, so what do you think people do?


As the original footage was done on film, the time difference between the top and bottom of a single frame is zero, unlike a "rolling shutter" progressively scanned sensor. The framerate is also much lower than the 60fps phone camera used in the last example from the MIT video, which was only barely enough to get meaningful data out.

So unfortunately, we probably won't be using this to get much out of old traditionally archived footage - not because of resolution of the frame, but time resolution.


Citation needed. In my experience, running AoE2HD in Wine results in strange mouse errors at the start of a match which can ruin a game (where the screen is stuck scrolling to one side).


The mouse bug seems to be gone for me (it was mainly triggered by alt-tabbing out of the window). It still has an issue with text not being rendered properly while typing.


Pretty sure that was one of several bugs I hit after release back in 2013, on Windows.


This might be the most offensive website with regards to layout and ad density. At least five ads, including one massive top-bar wanted to sell me on some TV show called "Happy". This website is terrible.


Firefox's Reader View is great for sites like these. Works on mobile too...


This is just a study of filtering algorithms. The author is just looking at Photoshop's (default!) bicubic filtering, which emphasizes high-frequency detail content at the expense of accuracy. The browser examples are doing simple linear filtering.


There is only one row. The one below the top is a strange and alien one called "number keys".


Sure, I am used to them being doubled up on laptops, nice to have dedicated keys for a change.


I just received my T25. They are already unavailable in the US. I will soon be making a comparison video between the T25, my X62, and the old X300.

I will say that the panel itself is a good panel, 1080p aside. It is like the one in the T450s - good white point, linear constant-current backlight driver (no flickery low-freq PWM!)


I was so lucky to find one from a local computer store. I've been writing code with it now for two days and I must say it's the best laptop I've ever used. The keyboard is just too good, but it's also sturdy, fast and feels nice. And I've had four thinkpads, two macbooks and one asus. T25 might be the pinnacle of laptops for me. Lenovo would be stupid to not continue using these keyboards in some of their models.


Agreed, and I'm happy that I'm not the only person with this view on display density. I can deal with HiDPI displays if it allows me to to a 1:2 integer scale without losing too much real estate, but any scaling between there loses small pixel details. As someone who appreciates sharp bitmap fonts and pixel graphics, the retina MBP is a big irritation.


I remember this not-so-fondly. This wouldn't be a problem for a game that is composited alongside the desktop in a "Windowed" mode, but for a full-screen application it is an "exclusive" application. The Source engine handles this context switch absolutely terribly. Task-switching out of Team Fortress 2 is a stuttery mess, where for around ten seconds it'll just loop the tiny audio buffer it last filled on top of a black screen before anything is usable again.
