“I don’t understand why people love it so much” and “the system has friction that could be improved” are two extremely different statements with vastly different communications. While it may be constructive to point out and discuss that, he

What does “not a good system in an objective sense” even mean? In what objective measures do you see it fail in? I and basically everyone I know love it because it and android auto are made by actual UI/UX designers that aren’t embedde

I mean, yeah? I dont understand your lack of perceived separation. It’s seems pretty plain that there is no interconnected network of doorbell cameras that anyone can use to track someone across every possibly doorbell camera that filmed th

10 year old is still DDR4, and ddr4 is still plenty fine for gaming workloads. AM4 still has some solid options out there, the 5800x3d has 3d vcache and would be an insane upgrade over any… quad core? 6th gen intel? Not sure what the AMD at

It’s definitely a weird scenario. It seems everyone in the Durable Medical Equipment space for diabetes stuff just wants everything to be a smartphone app now- which is fine honestly, it’s convenient for those that want to use it, but I’ve

I know of something expensive that omits it too! My insulin pump controller is a junkpile android phone (a NUU Mobile N5004L for the curious) whose only purpose in life is to run a singular android app. The device charges via usb-c, but ref

I’ve seen from a couple of places that a valver has commented that they can’t say exactly what the original price goal was, but that you can get an idea from the price increase of the steamdeck (~$200 usd) That wouldve put the steam machine

Ran at ~15-16 fps on my iPhone 17 air, horizontally (2211x1245) , for about a minute until my phone got ridiculously hot and thermal throttled down to 10-12fps.

The source txtfile has since either been dos'd or deleted (at least it was when I tried to access) Someone dumped the content into a google doc on reddit[1] if anyone's interested. [1]: https://docs.google.com/docu

Can you actually explain why the phrase you cited from OP is wrong? You say that ~”files need to be linked to from somewhere” is correct. How is a file linked to from somewhere [on the internet] if it’s not being served on the internet that

This site never ceases to surprise me with new username jumpscares (no negative connotation intended) I had no idea you were an (ex?) sysadmin! Apologies for the offtopic driveby reply, but what a small world we live in.

I'm entirely unfamiliar with the vr rendering space, so all I have to go on is what (I think) your comment implies. Is the current state of VR rendering really just rendering and transporting two videostreams independent of eachother?

I think it depends on whether or not you have good 6ghz connectivity. The headset comes with a 6ghz usb dongle pluggable to your rendering PC for locales without a 6ghz router or good 6ghz penetration, but due to 6ghz lack of wall-penetrati

Per the LTT video [0], the new Steam Frame controllers will have a (separately purchasable) accessory pack which includes a knuckles-like strap. Supposedly the controllers have enough capacitive-sensing ("on every input surface, and on

Are you saying that windows users are supposed get the steam hardware once a month? I’ve had steam installed on (and more/less used daily on) probably 4-5 different windows installs since roughly 2016, and I’ve never seen it more than

The zed blog has an early post[0] talking some about their decision. Mainly just decrying their experience of impossible-to-meet timing deadlines for something as basic as 60fps on electron. It doesnt really do a tech breakdown of why it’d

What a neat thing to see crop up on hackernews. I did a mini report on guédelon in one of my French courses in Uni. The name immediately threw me back to memories of trying to describe some of the ‘technical’ aspects of the project in my sh

Not sure of the rest of the world, but at least in the US, patenting “software” is a pretty murky subject legally (at least it feels that way when trying to do some basic research on it) Something that seems common among sources discussing

A slippery slope is fallacious when the argument is made with little evidence or reasoning to connect the current state/action to the supposed bottom of the slope. Whether or not you agree with the reasoning is one thing, but there’s

Good faith clarification: you’re saying you believe that preventing chicks from being born causes an equal amount of suffering to an animal as the (what would otherwise be) physical extermination of those chicks?
