Not OP but:

One of the big points of the franchise is that Scott is a loser. He’s jobless and is leeching off his best friend by living at his place, he dates a high school girl because she likes showing him attention, then he ignores her and cheats on her with Ramona.

When the movie came out, people thought Scott was a cool geek fighting to get the girl… That wasn’t the message at all. The comics go way more in-depth because the movie didn’t have much time for it.

It’s also implied that Ramona is kind of a loser too that runs away from her problems and waits for someone to fix them for her, hence making Scott deal with her “seven evil exes” instead of confronting them herself and making up with them.

Oooh yeah, I actually considered the SP at first but it wasn’t in stock where I live. That might’ve been a good thing though, because the H is very comfortable to hold whereas clamshells generally aren’t. But yeah, it’s really hard to justify buying more than one of these.

Yup, your handheld has the exact same internals as mine, I think the only difference is that it’s bigger and vertical. Good choice.

Maybe it’s just a psychological thing, but I feel way more comfortable gaming on a dedicated device than my phone. I don’t have to worry about losing all my phone battery, or getting popups and calls while playing, or having to exit the game to check messages etc… It’s way nicer having it just be a handheld that does one thing well.

why did you pick this handheld instead of many others?

Form factor is the big one. I think the Magicx is basically the same size, I was also looking for something that would fit in my pocket without much issue. It’s funny that you mention Android as a reason to buy one, I specifically looked for one that WASN’T Android. Linux handhelds are a lot simpler to work with and you don’t have to worry about Android shenanigans like processes running in the background or having to sign in to Google and update apps etc…

For me, most of the games I’m interested in playing are SNES, GBA, PS1, and some PSP. If you’re looking to play PS2 or higher then yeah a more powerful Android handheld makes sense, but I didn’t care for it that much.

Normally I would agree, but Wi-fi on this thing adds a lot to it. It allows you to scrape box art and a short video that gets shown when you hover on each game you have, and it lets you connect to retroachievements as well as easily transfer files from your PC wirelessly with FTP.

It’s definitely not needed but it makes things a bit more convenient for me IMO.

So I asked each model where it (thinks) it is hosted/running.

[…]

Can we trust those responses, or is it more mirage with plausible-sounding responses?

Whoever wrote this doesn’t know how AI works. They don’t know where they’re hosted. He could have asked Mozilla instead of panic-posting. This guy keeps saying his data was given to “third party hosts” but he has no idea who the hosts are, Mozilla could be the one hosting the models…

Mozilla says this was a flub; it will refine the onboarding around Smart Window to limit memory formation to post-opt-in activity only. That’s obviously the right fix.

So, false alarm. Try beta software, get software bugs.

The library in the post itself is pretty new, so I don’t think there are any real examples out there aside from the website advertising it.

That said, its idea of sending HTML from the backend and showing it in the frontend isn’t new - HTMX has been pretty popular the past few years and is basically the same thing. It’s great for any type of website that doesn’t update often, so anything that isn’t a webapp or does a lot of things from the client side. There’s a popular article of a company switching from React to HTMX which simplified the code heavily.

Not sure where OP got that link, but the official one is https://godotengine.org/releases/4.6/

The fact that fans might port TP to the Switch before Nintendo bothers is hilarious

Your comment posted 3 times so I’m guessing there’s something with your internet haha

I’m still deciding how “serious” the project is going to be, but if all goes well I will definitely add support for other formats. I’m already looking at adding Pandoc for document conversions.

I have a whole blog post talking about using Godot for GUI development. The short of it is that it’s surprisingly good but has a few drawbacks, and it doesn’t have a bustling ecosystem like webdev tools. I’ve yet to try it on mobile, though.

The choice of Godot for a UI library is an interesting one; how big is the program in the end?

Not small but not huge either, the app itself will be within 25MB uncompressed (<10MB zipped) - but it doesn’t matter that much since most of the file size will be the dependencies used to convert stuff. I have a blog post talking more about Godot for GUI apps if you’re interested.

The rest of the feedback is appreciated! I was just about to add some text showing which file was being converted when processing.

Video files are an exception since it would be too slow on WASM

Q: What happens with video files?

Video files get uploaded to our lightning-fast RTX 4000 Ada server. Your videos stay on there for an hour if you do not convert them. If you do convert the file, the video will stay on the server for an hour, or until it is downloaded. The file will then be deleted from our server.

VERT is really close but not totally what I was looking for, it’s a web app rather than a local program and AFAIK can’t convert videos locally, you’d have to upload it to a server and download them again.

Appreciate the feedback!

I’ve yet to see any AVIF in the wild. I think support for it is not quite there yet, everybody is still relying on WEBP.

It’s a heavily modified and upgraded version of source 2, but yeah.

It’s probably because the hardware market is really unstable right now. Prices of RAM, storage, etc have gone way up the past few months due to shortages. Valve are waiting to see where they’ll land before committing to a price.

It’s telling that Valve opted to use open-source Turnip drivers for their VR headset instead of relying on Qualcomm to actually support their own chip.

You can help by writing to Apple CEO Tim Cook (tcook@apple.com) and letting him know that you won’t buy Apple devices because of their proprietary software and DRM.

There really has to be a better call to action than this:
