Totally not the same. Its used as technical phrase. In europe we have many languages, but in most of them we use the term Tech lead as phrase.

Does this mean end to macOS wine gaming? From what I know you need to be using x86_64 build of wine on macos to run the x86 built windows games.

Can you expand on that? What you mean by static python?

It works perfectly cool through wine. Also i think adding mac builds wouldnt be hard given its simple dependencies.

Well while note open-source (but still free), Marta is the best MacOS TotalCommander alternative: https://marta.sh/

Yes its truly noteworthy project. They exploited Canon cameras by first managing to blink red charging LED. Then they used the LED blinks to transmit the firmware out. Then they built custom firmware which boots right from SD (thus no posibility to break the camera). The Magic Lantern firmware for example allows many basic cameras to do RAW 4K video recording (with unlimited length) - feature which is not even in the high-end models. But it has much more features to tinker with.

Watch a lotta NorthridgeFix youtube channel. He is excellent and leads you through his thought processes. Also get tons of hand ons experiences. Disassemble everyday things and try to figure out how they work / how to modify them. Remote controlls, routes, childrens toys, mobile phones.

I have to concur. Markus Triska is best Prolog resource out there nowaday. Extremely well explained, using modern notations etc.

This is really important point. Photos without people can be art. But photos with people capture memories. As a photographer I had to learn this with time and blurry, bad angled picture with favourite people capturing precious moment is zilions times more valuable (at least to me) than perfect picture of some architecture I took.
