I actually went into reading this thinking I'd agree with you that "yeah that's such hyperbole they must have made something good", and to my shock the good things they have shippe…

You can assign a mobile device policy on the Mac, and the OS is image based (like a Chromebook). They are much more flexible than Chromebooks, you're not running Adobe Premier or L…

Yea Chromebooks are wildly popular in American education. They've replaced the school desktop PC.

GitLab is a kitchen sink tool for all the good and bad that entails. Forgejo is much more lightweight.

It's not about crypto, its about process. Compare this action to one by Debian or Wikipedia where there's a formal proposal, time for written pros and cons with convincing argument…

I don't like crypto but this is poor reasoning, hastily implemented, and given very little time for discussion. There does not seem to be any concrete plan for notifying impacted p…

just call it google grav

Their current product naming is still terrible.They went from the Xbox, to the Xbox 360, the Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. The latest console …

You don't need a grid forming inverter to re-synchronize with the grid, you only need a grid forming inverter if you need a complete cold start or to support a grid island. In the …

Yeah that's what an inverter does, the "tie them to the grid" part. Every solar system has them, and they can islanding or not.

That's not FUD though, they literally did that. Once trust is lost you don't just get it back. It takes a very long time to rebuild that.

Isn't solar the fastest energy source to spin up? Just take them out of the crate, put them on racks, tie them to the grid.

I bought a Synology Beestation just for this purpose. I don't need it to do anything else, just keep my pictures backed up.

I mean normally this type of discussion is silly, but in playing competitive shooters latency does make a huge difference, and it shows that XWayland is adding ~4ms of latency. The…

A lot of the EKS disadvantages, I've noticed, are from AWS attempting to make things complicated. On the GKE side it's really set and forget, just pick a release channel to subscri…

Grok was ranting about "white genocide" in unrelated conversations just one year ago.

Plenty of competitive open weight models

Fortnite is UE5 and runs well on phones. There's a lot of studios who can use UE5 poorly, and not a lot using idtech poorly to compare against.

I am not a graphics engineer so I hope someone corrects me, but my understanding is that Unreal uses a deferred rendering pipeline to handle complex lighting, and deferred renderer…

I turn on my PS5 controller and it turns on my entertainment system and my game is right where I left off. All the games and the OS get silently patched while the machine is in "re…

Are you conflating Asha Sharma with Satya Nadella? Asha just joined Xbox, she had no role in any prior decision making.

Valve is working on a game codenamed HLX that apparently uses a ton of physics features. No idea what "HLX" means though.

Steam only exists because Valve forced players to install it, force an online activation, and permanently bind their retail copies of Half-Life 2 to a Steam account. They also forc…

There is a tradeoff, the Steam Machine is double the price for worse performance and less storage.

Rockstar has already announced there's no disk for GTA 6, if you buy a physical copy it's just a download code.
