It seems like it is not a lot of overhead if any at all. Also the hardware design easily accommodates it. So why not if the work is already done?

Also thanks for sharing your story and good luck!

Good! I want a steam controller and found a used offer for 110€ but that is still above the price of 100€. I shall not be tempted. So I sent an offer for 75€.

My reservation will be fulfilled at some point! Dave the Diver can wait a bit longer.

I would love to spend the rest of my life creating open source software. Bonus points for working on my own projects and getting them to a state where other people can use them.

I also find swimming super boring. I plan to do it more when I get older as it is as you said a good way to exercise without straining/pain.

Have you thought about getting some bone conducting waterproof headphones? You can load audio files onto them like music, podcasts or audio books.

They aren’t that expensive anymore. I have shokz but other brands work fine too in my experience.

Ending driver support for the 1080 still makes me angry. It is a perfectly fine and powerful card but they just ended support on Linux and in cuda.

Nvidia was bad about this before the memory shortage. I need loads of VRAM but don’t care about millions of cuda cores.

I really don’t understand that restriction. Why do it?

You better use a certified device or you get 480p@16 bits per second.

Ohh and HDCP. When I opened Netflix on my pc 2/3 monitors went blank, back when I still used windows.

Any android box you can recommend? I am looking for something without all the bloat, ads and privacy nightmare. I have a shield. It is pretty nice but still bloated and too bulky to put behind a TV.

Projectivity helps. Android TV should be open source.

A Fire TV went nuts today spamming my network with 60k mdns Pkt/s. It took down all my WiFi access points because the CPUs couldn’t handle it.

I have an oculus quest 1 and I am still salty that it doesn’t get any updates anymore and that its bootloader is locked. It was very expensive. On the other hand my steam link which is discontinued got updates for a very very long time. Heck it might still get some.

The whole unknown sources thing was also highly unpleasant.

There are really cheap mcus that need maybe one capacitor if even that. It is cheaper, easier and more flexible than the multiple components required to configure an NE555.

I have prepared this playlist for this question. These are all songs related to being out of time. (Ordered roughly by relevance)

I play most games with mouse and keyboard. But there are games that just play better with controllers especially casual ones. Also good luck couch gaming with keyboards and mice. :)

Make phones 18+ to buy. Make it a legal requirement for parents to set up parental controls. Make parental controls not suck ass. Make the phone tell the website if child or adult no age brackets nonsense. IMO children don’t need access to all websites.

Still there are some issues where abuse can come from parents but hey if they wanted they could give their children alcohol too so that point doesn’t really fly with me.

Eternal sunshine 🥲

Well that works until all frameworks like pytorch and co drop support for the compute level because the cuda libs drop them. Good luck compiling everything from source yourself.

Just wait until driver support is ended by nvidia. I have two P40 which are powerful and work well but nvidia just ended support (for compute) but I think the point still stands. Maybe it will be better with the new oss drivers

If you have an SSD consider hibernation. It’s not that fast but usually much more stable and actually shuts down properly.

Yeah this usual stuff would be nice but the trade off with privacy and surveillance is not worth the risk IMO. :(

I want a health bar.
