I don't know who needs to hear this, but: if you buy this USB Wi-Fi adapter from Netgear, when you get it home and open the box you will discover a note saying that to make it functional you must go to netgear.com and download some software.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT WITHOUT A FUNCTIONAL NETWORK ADAPTER

Earlier today, I published a 10,000 word deep dive into Sun Microsystems's ecosystem of the late 2000s - covering their final SPARC workstation (the Ultra 45), awesome expansions like the SunPCI IIIpro (an entire x86 PC on a PCI card!), the Sun Ray thin client environment (including all the real hardware and working setups), and much more, on @osnews.

This was a ton of work, and consumed my life for a few months. Few websites publish stuff like this anymore, and I'm glad I happen to run one where people still appreciate meticulous writing like this. If you want more, feel free to donate to our Ko-Fi or become a Patreon:

patreon.com/osnews

That being said, none of this would've been possible without the insanely generous donations from @kdedude[ade] and @vabVolker A. Brandt :meckenheim: - I can't emphasize enough how grateful I am to them. ♥️

Australia has issued passports with X gender markers as a matter of standard practice since 2011. Yet, 14 years later, the Australian flag carrier won’t let me check in using their app or kiosks like everyone else, and I have to wait in queue for the check in desk—a problem I’ve never had with Air NZ.

A screenshot of the Qantas app asking for passport details. A field for “Gender” is outlined in red; the two options are “Male” and “Female” and an error message says “Select your gender as shown on your passport”.

For the last couple months I've been for the first time in I don't know 25 years been really shifting away from using Google directly for search results, but I still occasionally accidentally mindlessly go there.

It straight up doesn't work for me anymore. I get the header with a blank page below it. Thank for helping me through this change, Google!

Today in "RISC-V is incredibly vague about important things": they changed the wording in the spec to imply that writing to one half of `mcycle` or `minstret` suppresses the increment of the other half.

I thought the old wording was pretty clear and I actually had a test that it did *not* do that.

Is it good when the source code for your processor has to reference github issues to clarify spec details?

Git patch that is basically me being passive aggressive about what a shitshow the RISC-V spec is (very passive though)

の開発が事実上終了したのは本当にもったいなかったよなーと思う。

あの路線は Vivaldi とも近い思想があったし、メーラーとかカレンダーみたいな領域まではなかったにせよブラウジング体験においては部分的には Vivaldi の先を行くところもあった。

開発元の The Browser Company が、開発を終了する理由として「Arc は複雑になりすぎて、一般層に受け入れられなかった」みたいなニュアンスのこと言ってたの、事実上 Arc を気に入って使っていたユーザーの梯子を外してしまう発言だったし、結果として出てきた Dia という AI 駆動ブラウザーはすくなくともいまのところ Arc の文脈にあった様々な機能のほとんどがなくなり、完全に客層を180度変えた感じがあり、そこもまた残念さがある…

逆にいうと、小さいチームで外部の資金に頼らずに 10 年間 :vivaldi_red: というブラウザーを「私たちの友人のために」というスローガンを掲げて開発してきた Vivaldi 社にはとても感謝してる。
