The Microsoft-Nokia didn't want to maintain the old OSs so went with a licensed clone of Series 30, and then post-Microsoft went with KaiOS (though newer ones seem to be back on the Series 30 clone, which is frankly a better experience than KaiOS was). Like, I was never a big fan of Series 30 or 40 but they had an awful lot of iterative improvement over the years and they just pissed that all away.


KaiOS (if that's what it's called) is crap and almost unusable. The Symbian series and more basic OSs were pretty complete and nice to use. Nokia no longer make good phones, or even mediocre phones.


It's the screenshot. The left screenshot appears to have been resized so it's markedly more blurry than it should be.


The thing is, if you want to use existing older camera lenses a large sensor is a hard requirement unless you want an ultra-zoom. Which is why people are having success with the rpi sensor for astrophotography, but this article is about making a portable, everyday camera; I'd quite like to be able to use my old Nikon 20mm as a 20mm, not a... um, 112mm or thereabouts.


...he's using the old default Wordpress theme from 10+ years ago. Surely the issue can only be with darkreader? At the time this theme was made, it would have worked with every browser, and the theme hasn't changed.


I use the search engine, because ever since the omnibar / awesomebar I've never fucking being able to get the autocomplete to go where I want. (It's worst on Chrome, which strongly prioritises previous search results, as if it's intentional that you always go to the search engine first...)


Antarctic Treaty forbids the disposal of nuclear waste there.


What actually backs up the treaty? What happens if it is broken?


You still might want the other side to hold onto parts of the same treaty...

In this case the result might have been the Russians deploying nuclear energy or even weapons there.


Some parts of the world luckily still seem to run on this obscure ancient thing called morality, trump didn't have time to mess up this part of the world


Oh really? Please name those places, and the relevant agreements/treaties they uphold for purely moral reasons.


What part of the world is that?


Sometimes treaties are made and nobody needs to be threatened for people to keep them. That's what it means to be in society. If you cannot have treaties without the threat of outside violence you are in a primary school playground.


Try not paying your taxes, or paying fines, resisting bailiffs, and yet refusing to go to court/jail and see how things work outside the "primary school playground". You'll see it is all based on the threat of physical force, even if you can't see so. If violence is the last resort, is is by that measure the "foundation" of society, if not the basis.

That said, the international community is not "society". You can have all the treaties you want, the threat of violence comes when nations care to break them.


I don't know why but an awful lot of pro audio software had to be updated for Windows 10. I remember Audacity not working at first either.


That's because the windows audio stack was massively changed with windows 10 (notably introduced lower latency audio).

Didn't affect players or tools that used the top level api, but anything that interacted with the stack and its drivers had to be updated.


Seems like exactly the kind of thing compatibility mode should have worked for though.


I happen to have been looking at IBM typewriter fonts recently -- https://archive.org/details/IBM-SelectricIITypewriter-Correc... -- so I can say it's actually Courier; the uppercase A is an easy giveaway. You can see all the other body fonts there too; Light Italic for the italics, except for some keywords at the start of lists which are Courier Italic; the page headers are Letter Gothic, as are I think the headings (though I thought it was lowercase Orator at first so I think these fonts are all running together for me).


Excellent! Thanks!

This got me browsing online for the font balls for these things. Dangerous; my nerd space is overdue for purge as it is.
