“Behold, this is a design offered exclusively at DROP, to be delivered unto thee after three months of diligent craftsmanship. The chessboard itself is hewn from noble ash and steadfast walnut. This marks the very first of my chess series – a creation I await with great anticipation as the forthcoming DROP unveiling draws near.”

I created a simple Bash script that will always disable the default/internal monitor on your laptop when using AR glasses (or any other external monitor). I find this useful for when using AR glasses such as the XReal One which allows you to change the mode from regular mode to ultra-wide mode and when doing this, it will act as your unplugging the XReal ones and plugging in XReal one again in a new mode, causing the interal laptop display to become enabled.

To keep the laptop display always off, weather the laptop lid is either closed or open, this simple bash script will always disable the laptop screen every X seconds (You can change it by changing the wait variable)

Simply copy this script and create a new bash script such as disable-display.sh, make the script file executable and add it to your startup applications and it will run in the background. You will need to run xrandr command with all of your displays enabled to get the names of the displays and change the variable names in the script accordingly.

NOTE: This script may not work with a full Wayland setup and may only work on X11.

Enjoy

#!/bin/bash

#RUN xrandr TO GET THE NAMES OF THE DISPLAYS AND SET THE VARIABLES TO THESE NAMES

readonly default_display="eDP"
readonly external_display="USB-C-0"

readonly wait=5

while true; do
    #Check if there is an external display connected
    if xrandr | grep -q "$external_display connected"; then
        #Disable the internal display
        xrandr --output $default_display --off
    fi

    sleep $wait
done

Or maybe, juuust maybe it could be due to all the anti-consumer shit you guys have pulled recently

Usually whenever Nintendo does something stupid or Anti-Consumer, they like to announce something to distract people from it. But now, it's just been a constant stream of bad news and it's sticking.

Just this last month alone:

Anti-consumer policies and aggressive EULAs (they stated that they can and WILL brick your console if you do anything they don't like.

BTW, Nintendo didn't "ASK" us to waive our rights, My switch has lost access to online capabilities, my library, my cloud saves and the store if I don't sign away my rights. That's not asking. That's taking my shit I paid for away until I do)

Backlash from the Palworld drama and heavy-handed legal actions

Restrictive hardware ecosystems

Lackluster online services—still!

Pricing practices that insult loyalty (e.g., $80 for a port of an 8 year old Wii U game that doesn't include the DLC)

It's baffling how they had the opportunity to make a slam dunk on this generation with the sequel to one of the most popular consoles, especially compared to their past sequel consoles, but once again they fail to learn their lesson.

😂

If you want read-only memory today, you might be tempted to use flash memory or, if you want old-school, maybe an EPROM. But there was a time when that wasn’t feasible. [Igor Brichkov] shows us how to make a core rope memory using a set of ferrite cores and wire. This was famously used in early UNIVAC computers and the Apollo guidance computer. You can see how it works in the video below.

While rope memory superficially resembles core memory, the principle of operation is different. In core memory, the core’s magnetization is what determines any given bit. For rope memory, the cores are more like a sensing element. A set wire tries to flip the polarity of all cores. An inhibit signal stops that from happening except on the cores you want to read. Finally, a sense wire weaves through the cores and detects a blip when a core changes polarity. The second video, below, is an old MIT video that explains how it works (about 20 minutes in).

Why not just use core memory? Density. These memories could store much more data than a core memory system in the same volume. Of course, you could write to core memory, too, but that’s not always a requirement.

We’ve seen a resurgence of core rope projects lately. Regular old core is fun, too.

Just under 3000-4000 people are required per country in Lithuania, Latvia, Malta and Luxembourg. Come on now... that's a small town and in some places even just a village. Are there really that few gamers in those countries?

Found out v2 has been out for more than 4 years but I’ve never seen it used

Sticker's fine, somehow, and already on my ThinkPad. Unfortunately I only got 1, and sc07.shop seems to be down. Oh well.

Where the hell was that envelope stuck...

The German - French TV Broadcaster is doing a documentary series about sustainability of cities.

The Audio is only in German and French, but English Subtitles are available. It is nice to watch.

Other than TIL?

For the 4th time today, An Israeli airstrike has just targeted areas in the northwest of #Rafah city in southern #Gaza.

Original Title: Social media content focused on muscularity linked to muscle dysmorphia among boys and men. Muscle dysmorphia, a condition characterized by an obsessive preoccupation with perceived insufficient muscularity, is often overlooked in discussions about body image and social media.

Original Title: Learning biographical details—such as someone’s job, mental health history, or political views—can significantly change how their face is rated in terms of attractiveness. Faces described as having a psychiatric history or a lower-status job tended to be rated as less attractive.
