Maybe they were trying to make a pun on "Via Voice", the cursed IBM STT from the 90s?

Firefox has had support for h265 for a few months by now, they finally relented.

Back in the 90s doing substring match was probably deemed way too expensive and so just calling the executable name directly was as optimized as it got... and it's beautiful :)

I've been using it for a long time and I can't use a new computer or a work computer without it for long before I feel like my eyes are going bad. I specially like the bold version, seems to do well with my astigmatism, specially

Might as well have asked a bottomless pit to do the same and get a better result from all the reverberations inside your empty head.

I find it fascinating that it turns into a "descent like" (6dof fps) when using the ability to "peek" the 4th dimension.

Does that means that every n64 game that uses fog (which I guess is.. most of them?) are relying on an almost fully broken feature? Or was there alternatives that didn't rely on the fixed function hardware?

Having a key reserved for OS level actions means you can create your own shortcuts and macros based on it without fear of it conflicting with each app shortcuts. Since operating systems also don't change often nowadays there is also se

There is virtually no consequences or accountability when big-tech companies share private data. For crying out loud, they were caught red handed sharing private data from their EU endeavors. If even sovereign states with clear laws forbidd

AFAIK the location lock is an nvidia driver issue... or more precisely the pitiful state of the open source nvidia drivers. Yes the hardware you chose or is given will heavily influence your linux experience. I kinda wished the community wa

Users will also need to drink a Monster™ verification can every time they launch the start menu if they do not have a Premium AI PRO Ultra MAX account. Users may chose to skip verification process if they agree to the new EULA where it is s

Couldn't you use a video player like mpv to achieve a similar effect? Not sure if you can cover a specific part of the image but you sure can crop the video however you want and bind the commands/script to a key.

There is always the option of force pausing the game to all clients until the joining client is fully in sync. Age of Empires 2 does something like this when a player that was dropped later rejoins the game. You can even have a screen showi

After thoroughly reading your explanation I've decided to buy a new Xbox One! Weirdly it only has 8GB of internal storage...

The ironic thing is that each subscriber now has a dedicated computer many times more powerful than what ISPs had back in the day for hosting ALL those websites sitting in the most privileged part of their network, being online 24h and begg

The upstream bandwidth sure improved but ISPs are still hostile to self-hosting by limiting ports, resetting connections every x days and not providing an ipv4 for a reasonable charge.

> In GoldSrc lightmaps cannot get more intricate though, they're tied to the texture scale so you cannot get a finer lightmap unless you also make larger textures and scale them down, and these two combined will wreck your "All

AFAIK hl1 maps needs to be open in hammer, tweaked a bit and then recompiled to function in hl2. You also better have those originals .rmfs rather than a .map or a even worse, a .bsp :)

I think the litmus test is weather they are backwards compatible with old maps/campaigns from the original engine/game. Half-Life 2 sure won't play quake maps nor will it play hl1 maps.

And Viktor Antonov (rip) art style. edit: there is also the fact that map compilers for gold source games have advanced far beyond what they could do back in 1999. The lightmaps and light sources alone can be far more intricate nowadays tha

GNOME devs operates more like benevolent dictators. It sure is oppressive and you better be glad for what you are getting, but what they put out with so few resources is leagues above what microsoft can do nowadays.

But the Squirrel is only playing chess because someone stuffed the pieces with food and it has learned that the only way to release it is by moving them around in some weird patterns.

If you want maximum commodity and as many things to "just work" as possible out of the box, go for good old plain Ubuntu. If you care a little more about your privacy and is willing to sacrifice some commodity, go for Fedora. It&#
