I’ve been using a 12 Pro and if it wasn’t for the version number in the name I wouldn’t even be aware of its age. They are all so fast these days the battery dies long before it becomes too slow to use. If it wasn’t for CarPlay and iMessage I’d absolutely use a flip phone with Android Go or something.

Additionally, as a high level emulator Yuzu sacrifices some accuracy for speed. It’s possible that this allows it to also be faster than the official implementation.

They also claimed to have “quantum” phased radar. Until we see it in Janes or other OSINT it isn’t credible.

It was rhetorical.

Unfortunately the problem lies with the foundation. The one thing they made worth a damn in the past decade was Rust, and they promptly fired the whole Rust team. Servo is maintained by the Linux foundation now ffs. What does the foundation do besides zombie walk and eat Googles money?

Funny how the EU council considers iOS to be a big problem but not Microsoft’s behavior around Edge. Both need to be corrected, but only one has seen any action - and it ain’t Microsoft.

Over the past five years infosec has turned into a shitshow of showboating. Every exploit has to have a logo and catchy name. Attacks are widely hyped up despite the conditions for usage being extremely difficult or outright stupid. If you are assigning blanket permissions to a group that shouldn’t have it that is your fault. Obstructing stupidity is not in the scope of the container engine.

The old ones are good, but the newer ones are disappointing. I had a 9th gen X1 specced out and it was unusable for development. It would thermal throttle after only 2 minutes on anything more than 40% CPU. Keyboard was nice and screen was ok, but the thermals and battery life was horrible.

Free themes are available on their gohugo repo and there a plenty of paid ones. I enjoy the live reloading and ability to change it all easily with text files.

I used to use Ghost. Mostly on Hugo these days.

I am at this point fully convinced it will never come out, and if it does, it will be a hollow shell of what people want it to be.

So long as they are comfortable with me never buying them.

To add to the list of resources:

Todaku Books offer leveled difficulty, so even if you are starting out with Japanese there is something for you to read. The books are Creative Commons licensed, so don’t pay for them if you don’t want to.

Their CEO is the biggest symptom of their problem. She demands a sky high compensation despite her poor leadership. The company has been in a spiraling decline for the past decade now. Instead of focusing on bringing a great user experience, they alienated their most staunch users with things like Pocket and allowed PWAs and Electron to eat their lunch.

But why?

Fam if I walk into a cafe and I’m about to order and there is a bathroom that costs money I am going to leave. I get why they are doing this (hint it isn’t just the money), but I’ll be fucked if I’m going to tip them and pay to take a piss too.

Additionally, the claimed infringement relates to the fact that it’s reflective pulse oximetry using three or more sensors. Your Garmin and old Apple watch aren’t infringing because they use two sensors. I think the patent in its current state should not have been granted. It would be like patenting the placement of three or more CPU sockets on motherboards that fit in a certain rack size.

I’m excited for what comes out in a year or two. Maybe a Steam Box 2.0 with console-like qualities but tinker-friendly? A hardware refreshed Deck? Anti-cheat compatibility with more games?

The logic over at Xbox might be that Xbox games already come to PC, and their OEM partners are already shipping devices. Unfortunately the fact is that the problem is Windows itself. The thumb controls on them sucks to use in Windows. Go try an Ally or a Legion. As soon as you leave Armor Crate or Steam Big Picture the experience falls apart. Windows also insists on doing Windows things like updating and rebooting when it feels like it, and on a few occasions I’ve been kicked out of big picture mode because something stole focus.

Maybe they shouldn’t be targeting journalists then?
