I've been using a somewhat low-spec PC to play games and for general desktop usage. Finding stuff in this form factor, that you can guarantee will be well put together and worth th…

I'm really curious to see if these still rely heavily on resizable BAR. Putting these in old computers in linux without reBAR support makes the driver crash with literally any load…

If you look at their previous devices this company's whole shtick is having weird, quirky, or niche features. The MicroPC had a dedicated serial port on a device released in the 20…

I've purchased and used a number of the GPD products and even contributed to the Arch Linux wiki on the various small caveats of the devices. They generally have good (community) l…

Is there anyone who can break down the advantage of something like this over a typical open source model? I read through the page and FAQ for fair source and still don't quite gras…

Directly filing your taxes in the US was currently mail-in only until this pilot originated. Intuit and the likes have lobbied with their millions to make sure the average citizen …

I had an AMD APU setup that I used for a while as a light gaming rig. I'm impressed to see these chips continue to grow in capability and be offered at reasonable prices. I'm curio…

Emulation aside, the Steam Deck has been compared to the Switch in some capacity or another in almost every single review I have ever seen of it. While I wouldn't think it's had an…

I'll add LOVE ( https://love2d.org ) to that list as well. Very powerful and flexible game framework, Currently working on developing a game in Minetest ( https://www.minetest.net/…

What a good story, and a good mindset to have. A great deal of learning comes with failure and I've learned to look forward to messing things up over the years. I recently started …

I have a short tuta.io address that always gets odd looks when I spell it out to people, who tend to react weirdly when not hearing a major domain when typing in an email address. …

I'm not terribly interested in podcasts but I do love seeing what people create, so I gave it a click... and then couldn't back out to HN. Why is your site back-button trapped?

Glad to see PS1 style rendering that simulates the affine texture warping side effects of the console. The original Playstation was very much not designed with 3D in mind, lack of …

At a very young age I ventured into taking apart my personal computer to better understand it. When I was in my early teens I could build a whole computer with off-the-shelf parts …

You can crash people quite easily in game without any mods by just loading an overly-complex avatar. There is the content gating system, but quite a few people just turn it off, he…

I have a separate Windows machine I use for all of my gaming, including VRChat, that does not touch my Linux network or any of its files. I started doing this around the time Windo…

In my opinion the rules increase in complexity in order of release, with Queen's Garden being by far the most complex. Depending on how much complexity you like, it's a linear scal…

Any of the four Azul games. They are all loosely based on each other and the rules between them have similarities even though all four are a completely different experience. They f…

The GPU shortage is at the initial stages of being over, largely due to multiple facets of the cryptomining implosion that are right around the corner. I still can't yet walk into …

This stuff is still incredibly easy to do to this day. I was the general manager of a retail office store chain and we would frequently have calls come in forging fake complaints b…

I'm a previous owner of a few Pine products but I just can't get even a little exited about any of their hardware anymore for most of the reasons you mentioned. Pine supporters wil…

All of the Pine64 stuff is like this and it's detestable. I had a RockPro64 for a while that I had tons of trouble getting to work for almost these exact reasons (largely thanks to…

It's 2022, can we please stop saying 'pwned'? Sure, I'll take the karma hit for this comment.

We get several of these stories every year. It's news if something makes it out of a laboratory and even into prototype production. Do these articles do anything to help spur resea…

That project is outdated, and doesn't have drivers for pen displays.
