I disagree, Sony’s feature is fundamentally different. It allows developers to create quick-load shortcuts for different activities in a given game. Like having multiple open world objectives/missions where you can choose which one to continue from the system menu. Microsoft’s feature is all about resuming where you were directly as if you put the system to sleep with that game running.
Yeah the box shows up as a monitor in the system display settings, can even enable it and use it like a normal display. The headset will do the spatial tracking and you can recenter with the headset button. It’s just small and low resolution so you can’t even use it for productivity. Until the app works, no games at all.
Index works mostly fine. Sometimes it drops out but my Bluetooth stack hasn’t been the most stable on this install. Arch btw.
I did grab the PSVR2 PC adapter box and it does work to get a display showing in the headset as another monitor which is pretty sweet. But the PSVR2 app on steam just straight up doesn’t work in any form of compatibility mode I’ve been able to try so it’s no dice there.
That’s a different feature. Resume Activity is just a developer-dependent shortcut that’s integrated into the system menu. Quick resume is saving a snapshot of ram to disk and loading it up as needed per-application. Different goals entirely.
Napster, 1999.
For the camera app, it could be as simple as accidentally swiping left on the Lock Screen even just a tiny enough amount to activate the camera, even if released before the full quick shot mode is displayed. That at least is plausible from within a pocket and is not a security concern. Other apps cannot pretend to be the camera app when accessing it.
Easily the biggest loss imo. RIP WCD.
Can you show where they’ve gone further than apples game porting toolkit or game translation layers? Genuinely curious because I haven’t seen any comparison but do know several large profile games have come to apple silicon recently.
Isn’t UTC meant to be… you know, universal?
… nobody can convince me otherwise
Ignorance isn’t something to be proud of.
Was going to mention this. Finding a smaller community focused on a specific project can afford more collaborative learning while contributing to projects that need help. It’s also a good way to learn humility, like finding that one person in the corner of the office who constantly picks apart your PRs without any emotion or judgement and genuinely improves your own code by learning from mistakes.
For clarity, the recommendation is specifically 3 copies of your data, not 3 backups.
3-2-1 backup; 3 copies of the data, 2 types of storage devices, 1 off-site storage location.
So in a typical homelab case you would have your primary hot data, the actual device being used to create and manage that data, your desktop. You’d regularly backup that data into warm storage such as a NAS with redundancy (raid Z1, Z2, etc). Followed by regular but slower intervals of backups to a remote location, such as a duplicate NAS with a secure tunnel or even an external drive(s) sitting at a friend or family member’s house, bank vault, wherever. That would be considered cold storage (and should be automated as such if it’s constantly powered).
My own addition to this is that at least one of the hot / warm devices should be on battery backup in case of power events. I’ll always advocate that to be the primary machine but in homelab the server would be more important and the NAS would be part of that stack.
Cloud is not considered a backup unless the data owner is also the storage owner, for general reliability reasons related to control over the system and storage. Cloud is, however, a reasonable temporary storage for moves and transfers.
Yeah I found which key and that has been a little more useful than nothing, but it’s a half-way solution, like showing shortcut next to menu items in a normal GUI application. Thank you for the suggestion!
I self host services as much as possible for multiple reasons; learning, staying up to date with so many technologies with hands on experience, and security / peace of mind. Knowing my 3-2-1 backup solution is backing my entire infrastructure helps greatly in feeling less pressured to provide my data to unknown entities no matter how trustworthy, as well as the peace of mind in knowing I have control over every step of the process and how to troubleshoot and fix problems. I’m not an expert and rely heavily on online resources to help get me to a comfortable spot but I also don’t feel helpless when something breaks.
If the choice is to trust an encrypted backup of all my sensitive passwords, passkeys, and recovery information on someone else’s server or have to restore a machine, container, vm, etc. from a backup due to critical failures, I’ll choose the second one because no matter how encrypted something is someone somewhere will be able to break it with time. I don’t care if accelerated and quantum encryption will take millennia to break. Not having that payload out in the wild at all is the only way to prevent it being cracked.
They have a bright future ahead of them!
Konami doesn’t deserve your money. Buy it used if possible.
Would you be ok with a mouse that takes AA batteries? Technically replaceable and lasts so long you’re only swapping batteries once or twice a year, Logitech G603 Lightspeed is an option and I love my Logitech G604 lightspeed that only takes one AA and lasts 4-6 months. If you got some rechargeable batteries that’s even better. Unfortunately neither are USB-C so it’s not a wired device at all, no ports on the mice in general.
This is me wondering… is there anyone who curates and categorizes lists of open source projects actively looking for contributions? Possibly with an organization based on experience level? It’s often hard to tell what project are active enough that entry, intermediate, or experienced level help is needed and for what.
We’ve had lithium based true wireless earbuds for nearly 10 years now according to my quick internet search, and the popularity of them has skyrocketed to millions of users. 10 years, millions of devices, and one finally catches fire? Genuinely I’m just confused by what you mean you’ve been waiting for a story like this.
While generally true, I believe there’s a lot of weird custom wireless communication out there. Plenty of mice and keyboards refuse to communicate over a standard HID protocol which leads many to not work for enterprise type devices / appliances. Anything with an HID / Console port (like some KVMs) for management will just not respond properly to key presses even if the downstream usb host can detect presses properly. This is extremely nuanced and not at all the same as something like Logitech G-Hub only being windows so customizing the buttons / RGB on the M/K is a questionable adventure for normal users.
