I stopped pirating games when Steam made buying games safer and more convenient than pirating them, while being affordable and having lots of sales. It didn't get worse despite being a monopoly for a long time, and now we have that plu

My WD drives failed pretty consistently, so I'm now giving Seagate a try. Well, my main reason was that WD decided that just failing "naturally" after a few years wasn't enough, but that a drive having been on for 3 year

I would rather go live in a hut in the mountains writing angry manifests for the rest of my life than work with an invasive nightmare like this. I have ADHD and a few other issues. I still manage to do good work on average and keep a job. B

It's definitely much better than Apple, which will put a lot of work into preventing anyone but themselves being able to repair Apple hardware. If a third-party technician gets the means to repair a laptop, without any pseudo-franchisi

I'm not sure what point the part about nondeterminism is making, but I would be very curious how much of a chaotic system the brain really is. I think many of us would like our consciousness to be rooted in quantum noise, where it&#x27

Reminds me of the good old days when you didn't need an expensive GPU to play the latest path-traced games, just a pencil, some paper, and a few friends.

It varies a lot, but for a while I had a Synology NAS + a simple AMD PC running Unraid, a lot of Docker containers and some VMs. But I realized I was mainly running services that are idle most of the time, and just doing some I/O the r

I love the visualizer, how you can basically follow along on that keyboard at the top.

Same here. I try to see the bright side, where I am basically forced to write "clean" code because anything else just doesn't fit my buffer. And I feel a kinship with current LLMs with small context sizes.

Same! I didn't even know anything about telnet or programming. I was using Klik&Play or MultiMedia Fusion to make games, and some component supported TCP, so I opened a port using that and just for fun connected to it with a browse

One place I worked at had a guy who proudly wore a "Vulkan - Industry Forged" T-Shirt every day. I'll just assume he had 5-7 identical ones.

Yes. MS called all their multimedia/gaming APIs DirectSomething for a while, then decided to group it all together into DirectX. It was also a time when you had to put an X into everything because you were XTREME.

This was great for catching up! I stopped doing graphics programming somewhere between OpenCL and Vulkan being released and always wondered what had happened - especially along with the sentiments in the industry since that's difficult

Not just that, but now apparently when you don't let your most powerful AI use as much data as you can find or if you don't turn it into an effective (not safe, just effective) product fast enough, you lose $100B.
