You have to set it up with the Steam client in Desktop Mode, but you can add arbitrary programs and executables as non-steam games. As a result, I can open Spotify in the background and have it play music while I game, from the primary Stea

I think it’s been changed since, but wow was it weird finding out that instead of taking photos, the Android app used to essentially take a screenshot of the camera view.

I made one for roughly $100 USD from an Arduino, steel rods, some stepper motors, and some 3D printed parts. Having an existing 3d printer is a bit “draw the rest of the owl” for this, but being able to extend and modify a device like a pen

That language isn’t the same language I became more proficient in, so are you sure it’s not terrible, useless, and will lose handily to the one I use for my specific purposes?

Or perhaps we make them attractions at a theme park, but let Anthony Hopkins have admin access to the source code. What could go wrong?

Reminds me a bit of BMWs and their infamous and persistent coolant pump woes. The running joke in those circles is "replacing the entire cooling system" counts as "basic, regular maintenance". BMW makes a fantastic engin

Interesting and novel take. Do you think making that would enable you to also make a better distributed note taking system, or do you think you need the distributed note taking system first? Perhaps we need to make a diagram to decide.

I'd like to see some form of regulation around % of visible screens/information presented in a public space needing to be specifically useful to the population vs pure advertising. It's frustrating to be at a train station wh

I like this idea. Perhaps let them self select if they will respond or not, but they have to advertise in the posting which path they chose?

Sounds like he got the double instead of the nothing. The last line of the article mentions he now owes close to 200k, when he had originally owed 100k at the start of the scheme. I wonder how much he banked from the sold access in the midd

Had the same reaction. I’m willing to support development for a tool like this, but would prefer to do it more….directly.

I ended up with a preorder for the new screen instead of getting a laptop now and the upgraded screen later. Before making that call, I explored a bit around up-cycling the original monitor into a portable display. There are apparently some

Wow that’s…catastrophic. Sorry that happened to you.

I moved my primary phone from Android to iOS and this is hands down the thing I miss the most. I ended up silencing a lot of apps wholesale, mostly rideshares, as a result.

Currently waiting on my FW13 preorder, so if you don’t mind writing it out one more time, what issue are you having?

I’d love to see two types of upvotes on the site. One for “thanks for answering/engaging” and another for “this answer is correct and high quality”. Not sure how you’d restrict or verify the votes, but I think the issue you’re pointing

Agreed that the vetting of private people would be invasive and not a good use of resources. It would also not work for recently compromised accounts. I’m also personally torn on how much we want giant private companies controlling more and

The analogy I used back when I managed a team was that our workload was like a funnel. You need some amount of overhead to balance the pressure and keep things flowing. If you put too much in the funnel, things backup and spill. It's f

Something like this would show up in perimeter network/firewall logs correct? But if someone was mirroring traffic to the same cloud provider you deploy in, it would be less obvious to find out _which_ set of cloud IPs aren't actu

I’m so appreciative that virt-manager has a GUI that crafts and then lets you edit the XML directly. It really eased that beginner into competent stages of using the program for me.
