Pdf has a mind-bogging array of features, which make it so entrenched in the corporate world with no viable replacements at the moment. Things like forms where users can fill them out and submit (surprisingly a popular feature), cryptographic signing to prevent tampering, DRM, etc. Heck, I think you can even add JavaScript code to a pdf.

Looks like we’re finally able to use the mech!

Like other mentioned, a lot of old games sold right now actually packaged with dosbox. Some even packaged with Wine so it can run on different platforms. The real problem would be emulating current modern graphic stacks but that would be future preservists’ problem.

Imagine inheriting a GOG account originally registered by your great-great grandpa containing ungodly amount of games you can’t possibly play all of them in a lifetime.

Does this mean Roblox is becoming this generation’s Second Life now?

Did it covered by warranty though? I’m probably ok with the foldable screen cracking every once in a while as long as the warranty fully covers it every time it happens.

You can buy the xreal glass separately for $449: https://us.shop.xreal.com/products/xreal-air-2-pro

Play with friends you say? Another game I’ll never play…

They have no incentive to optimize the Red Engine anymore since CD Projekt is moving to Unreal Engine.

Transreflective lcd doesn’t look great though, especially when viewed at angles, or when the room is bright enough to light the reflective layer but dark enough to require the backlight.

The people with appropriate skills must have the tv (it’s not cheap) and actually interested in jailbreaking them. So far noone has done so.

It would be very inconvenient if you time it well, e.g. when they’re playing games beside you and you see them about to land a decisive blow.

How long until we get Microsoft teams up with Mountain Dew to release xbox verification cans 2FA devices?

Are you living in the same country as those that complain about ads in windows? From what I understand, this is not rolled out globally yet.

Microsoft always treated linux and foss with such disdain while under Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer. Their current CEO is an outlier, openly embracing and extending foss and linux. After years of abuses from Gates and Ballmer, many people in the linux community won’t be so quick to trust them.

Big corps love A/B testing, slow rollouts and geo-restricted features. You might be in a different group than people that get all these ads.

Just turn off “show scores” in your profile and you’ll be happier. It’s a meaningless number anyway.

You’ll be able to lock the screen of your phone with just your phone number and a quick security challenge using any device. This buys you time to recover your account details and access additional helpful options in Find My Device, including sending a full factory reset command to completely wipe the device.

Does this mean I can troll my friends by locking their phone while they’re using their phone?

Sales is up compared to last year but still doesn’t meet target? Hmm… this infinite growth thing is harder than I though.

Imagine donating your body to science and the scientists slice your brain and scan them, then decades later you suddenly wake up in a virtual space because the scientists are finally able to emulate a copy of your brain in a supercomputer.

companies of the modern era have to justify their existence not just with success, but growth, and Microsoft’s been struggling to do that

“The last year or so in videogames,” says Bond, “largely the industry’s been flat … [we saw some] tremendously groundbreaking games, but the growth didn’t follow all that.”

Whelp, now that everyone went back to work and not stuck at home anymore, it’s actually amazing that the video game industry is still flat, but apparently that’s not enough. Probably nothing can top covid19 effect to game industry anytime soon, unless they have another virus in the work /s

Steam is available in 237 countries, while PSN is only available in 69 countries. Some people are going to be locked out from the game they bought. E.g African players are going to be fucked.

Hmm, what do you mean when a tank game has a tankies reputation?

Why would they do that when they can use this as yet another push to move people to windows 11.

The books they loaned are loaded with DRM though, which make it unusable after the loan period expires, so it’s not like they’re handing out unlocked pdf en-masse like z-library. They probably thought this restriction was good enough and publishers have enough goodwill to let it slide during the height of the pandemic.

Sunk cost fallacy. The more you pay the more painful it is to quit.

Maybe try emailing the dev asking to add support for RAZR+. Some devs actually respond to requests on emails. The dev probably doesn’t have that phone, so if they do respond, they might ask your help debugging the issue. Again, not all devs do this so don’t get your hopes up, but I’ve seen some devs actually do this.

When a dev abandon a live service game, I hope they do what Marvel’s Avengers did: patch the game to work offline, unlock all paid contents, then has one final big discount before shutting everything off.

Modding is a hobby, and just like other hobbies, tinkering is part of the fun.

OnlyOffice has an Android version.

Marginalia is interesting because it attempt to search non-commercial contents. this might unearth some contents you can’t find on google. If you search something on google and the result is full of spam or ecommerce product pages, try the same keyword on marginalia. Unlike google, it’s a keyword search engine, so keep in mind not to ask question in it, but put the keyword that might be included in the content you want to search.

Kagi is a paid search engine. it does use data from other big search engines, but apply its own weighting and filtering and unearth contents normally buried on the big search engines. There is a free trial account if you want to test it yourself to see if it’s better than google for your use case.

There are also various searxng instances. searxng is an opensource meta search engines, which uses data from other search engine. Each instances may be configured differently, so you might want to test some of them to decide which instance works the best for your use case.

Some interesting comparison: https://danluu.com/seo-spam/

In the March 2019 core update to search, which happened about a week before the end of the code yellow, was expected to be “one of the largest updates to search in a very long time. Yet when it launched, many found that the update mostly rolled back changes, and traffic was increasing to sites that had previously been suppressed by Google Search’s “Penguin” update from 2012 that specifically targeted spammy search results, as well as those hit by an update from an August 1, 2018, a few months after Gomes became Head of Search.

Search engagement is declining, so the obvious fix is to make the search result worse which means people have to search more to find what they need. Engagement metrics went through the roof! Crisis averted!

Thanks to this fuck up, competition is a thing again in search engine space. Other search engines are getting better and start to capture the fleeing users.

Unfortunately, with the current popularity of digital downloads, consoles aren’t great for patient gaming because they rarely give a good discount for older titles on their online stores (especially nintendo).

Halo: am I a joke to you?

So, it’s like folding@home, but instead of donating your spare compute to science, you sell it to generate porn?

When people who love, know, and respect the source material create something new, it turns out to be pretty good.

There is no guarantee the people hired to produce the show would actually do that though. It could go like the witcher and halo shows.

Are the games so bad they’re paying you to play them instead of the other way around?

But RISC-V is royalty-free and already supported by Linux and most compiler toolchains. Surely adopting it is more profitable because they don’t need to maintain their own fork of Linux kernel and compiler toolchains to support their custom CPU architecture.

The 3A6000’s LoongArch architecture takes cues from RISC-V and MIPS, which Loongson used for its prior CPUs. However, LoongArch might be more heavily based on MIPS than Loongson lets on, as one developer calls the Linux kernel code for LoongArch CPUs “a blind copy of the MIPS code.”

Why not go all in with RISC-V instead of creating their own “LoongArch” cpu architecture?

Seems like it.
