I just want an 80×25 console, but that's no longer possible

news.ycombinator.com John Goerzen 2025-09-20 12:26:02

Somehow along the way, a feature that I’ve had across DOS, OS/2, FreeBSD, and Linux — and has been present on PCs for more than 40 years — is gone. That feature, of course, is the 80×25 text console. Linux has, for awhile now, rendered its text console using graphic modes. You can read all about it here. This has been necessary because only PCs really had the 80×25 text mode (Raspberry Pis, for instance, never did), and even they don’t have it when booted with UEFI. I’ve lately been annoyed t

The Anker Soundcore Space A40 wireless earbuds are back on sale for a record-low price of $45 a 44 percent discount. These earbuds remain our top pick for best budget wireless earbuds. The most significant feature on the A40 earbuds is the inclusion of active noise cancellation (ANC), which is almost unheard of at this price point. It's not the most sophisticated ANC, but it does sufficiently reduce constant rumbling background noise like on a plane. The built-in mic that's used for transparenc

MagicX Zero 40 The MagicX Zero 40 turns an aging Android operating system into the best Nintendo DS emulation handheld on the market. It's not great for anything else, but it beats the original hardware in significant ways, despite only having one screen. The Nintendo DS was an absolutely groundbreaking handheld, and I have fond memories of sneaking a few turns of Advance Wars: Dual Strike under my desk in high school.

A Digital Underground Is Using the Flipper Zero to Break Into Cars

Its creators call it a “multi-tool” device. For many users, it’s a hacking accessory.

Astronomers in Awe of Terrifying "Eye of Sauron" That's Pointed Straight at Earth

A bright galactic nucleus with a supermassive black hole that spews out cosmic radiation is pointing straight at us. Thankfully, the object, unimaginatively dubbed "PKS 1424+240," is located roughly 7.4 billion light-years away and likely won't pose much of a danger. But that hasn't stopped a group of excited astronomers from renaming it: the "Eye of Sauron," the symbol adopted by the Dark Lord in JRR Tolkien's epic "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
