Honestly, I think we’re 3 years out from Windows being replacable for a gaming platform.
Anti-cheat is a big one (sure, there’s “support”, but if none of the games people play are supported, is that support?), but VRR and HDR are also huge.
That trifecta is the only reason I’m still sitting in Windows, and I find myself hopeful we land there sooner rather than later so I can dump Windows and never have to think about whatever dumb crap Microsoft is going to do next.
nVidia released drivers that aren’t a complete tire fire under Wayland.
(It’s more of a regular pile of discarded tires now, but it’s still dramatically better.)
Oh, that makes sense. I was trying to mentally imagine what kind of FDM printer could possibly need that much power and was very much coming up with a blank, lol.
I’m disappointed in that writer.
Better phrasing: Sega started as a rock’n’roll breath of fresh air that did what Nintendon’t.
Perhaps it’s just me, but they’ve been releasing a good number of actually good things, though?
Persona, Yakuza, PSO, and even the fact the Sonic movies were… good? Or at least entertaining enough, which is a victory for a video game movie series, heh.
So uh, if I can ask, why?
Like what are you doing that needs this kind of uh, upgrade?
It’s viable, but when you’re buying a DAS for the drives, figure out what the USB chipset is and make sure it’s not a flaky piece of crap.
Things have gotten better, but some random manufacturers are still using trash bridge chips and you’ll be in for a bad time. (By which I mean your drives will vanish in the middle of a write, and corrupt themselves.)
Am I missing something, or is this just the argo tunnel thing Cloudflare has offered for quite a while?
10000% this.
Tell me what it does, and SHOW me what it does.
Because guessing what the hell your thing looks like and behaves like is going to get me to bounce pretty much immediately because you’ve now made it where I have to figure out how to deploy your shit if I want to know. And, uh, generally, if you have no screenshots, you have no good documentation and thus it’s going to suuuuck.
It’s because of updates and who owns the support.
The postgres project makes the postgres container, the pict-rs project makes the pict-rs container, and so on.
When you make a monolithic container you’re now responsible for keeping your shit and everyone else’s updated, patched, and secured.
I don’t blame any dev for not wanting to own all that mess, and thus, you end up with seperate containers for each service.
Time to rename the blue shell to The Shell of Equity, I guess?
Those both have a Ring 0 component, which is essentially presented as required for the crap to even work.
The argument being that you have to have that level of access for the anti-cheat software to be able to actually be able to do it’s thing, since if you just ran it with a normal user’s permission, it’d be subject to numerous ways you could have a cheat tool simply bypass it.
They’re probably not wrong about that, but doesn’t mean that we should have to essentially install a rootkit on our hardware to play online games.
Might have been unclear; I listen basically exclusively to spoken word stuff. Podcasts, audobooks, “raido” plays, etc.
The Airpods actually sound remarkably good and clear (and ANC helps a lot with ensuring clarity anywhere even slightly noisy) with voices, so for my uses, they sound perfectly fine.
I have a pile of Chi-Fi earbuds that absolutely destroy them in sound quality for music, but it’s very much a 99.9% of the time it’s not music situation.
The best way I’ve heard that described is that for the Bambu stuff, you spend your time fiddling with the thing you want to print, not your printer.
I love my p1p (and it’s several thousand hours and 100kg of filament into ownership and all I’ve had to do is clean the bedplate and replace a nozzle), and really wish there was anyone who was making an open-source printer that’s as reliable and fiddle-free as this thing has been.
I’d probably go with getting the ISP equipment into the dumbest mode possible, and putting your own router in it’s place, so option #2?
I know nothing about eero stuff, but can you maybe also put it into a mode that has it doing wifi-only, and no routing/bridging/whatever?
Then you can just leave the ISP router in place, and just use them for wifi (and probably turn off the wifi on the ISP router, while you’re in there).
Something that’s made shockingly unclear, for anyone who might be interested: you only need to have subscribed for a single month to have all the subscriber gated stuff unlocked.
I don’t really know how that’s a viable business model, but pay $14 or whatever, get all the expansions and inventory and whatnot unlocked, and then don’t worry about it until there’s another expansion you want.
They really do.
The sound great, and the ANC is great, but the “official” battery life for a brand new one (which these are not) is “up to 4.5 hours” with ANC on, and 5 without it.
It ends up being 2-3 charge cycles basically every day, plus a full recharge of the charging case.
They do, however, work amazingly well if you’re in the Apple ecosystem; for example they’ll swap between my iPad and Mac Mini if audio starts on one or the other.
But for actually sitting down with something and listening to a thing, I’d rather just plug in some headphones (via the lovely USB-C dongle) and not have to think about if the stupid things are going to die before I’m ready to stop listening.
(Disclaimer: I’m also a weirdo who doesn’t carry a smartphone, and still uses an iPod for listening to stuff outside of the house, so feel free to roll your eyes and disregard my obviously bad opinions :P )
My complaint has always been that the stupid things need to endlessly be recharged.
I’ve got some AirPod Pros and they’re great… for about 4 hours.
Then you’re stopping what you’re doing, recharging for half an hour, and then you’re good for uh, another 3 hours because that wasn’t a full charge.
And after the 2nd or 3rd time you’ve done that, your case is dead and you get to throw everything on a charger for a couple of hours.
Ooooooooor I can put in my wired headphones, and not give a shit about any of that, because that’s not how those work at all.
I suppose most people don’t spend most of their day listening to podcasts and audiobooks and thus 4 hours is fine, but good lord is it annoying as crap.
Heh, I started another playthrough last night myself.
Never really gone through the Republic storylines, so I guess I’ve got a bit of game time ahead of me…
ArchiveBox is great.
I’m big into retro computing and general old electronics shit, and I archive everything I come across that’s useful.
I just assume anything and everything on some old dude’s blog about a 30 year old whatever is subject to vanishing at any moment, and if it was useful once, it’ll be useful again later probably so fuck it, make a copy of everything.
Not like storage is expensive, anyway.
