I get the point you're trying to make, but isn't installing an accessibility extension or enabling accessibility features in your browser/OS the equivalent of buying your own wheelchair, crutches, glasses, etc? I don't t

The original PBR paper cites a materials database made by one of those big Japanese companies many years ago (I think it was Mitsubishi?) EDIT: found it! It’s called MERL ( https://merl.com/brdf ) Modern PBR specifically does

Is this satire? If it's not, then this question is going to sound dickish. That's not my intention, I'm just genuinely wondering if this is satire because it's not always obvious on the internet.

Pretty much any high end Thinkpad or Macbook that is a couple of years old can be an incredibly good value (if you don’t mind cosmetic imperfections), since they’re very reliable. I buy them on ebay, so if they don’t work I get buyer protec

As an alternative for people interested in developing on handhelds like this, homebrew for old consoles (PSP, 3DS, etc) is always fun. There are also hundreds of millions of those still floating around, so there’s a real chance people will

There are hundreds of millions of PSPs, Vitas, DSes, 3DSes, Gameboys, etc floating around in the hands (or closets) of actual users out there. Those are consoles that are fully hacked, with high quality open source toolchains and SDKs, and

I think people will adapt by finally doing the thing they should have been doing all along: don't trust anything they see on the internet. Maybe a flood of AI-generated propaganda is what it will finally take to get the average person

The societal harms of children huffing paint are, in your opinion, not as bad as the personal inconvenience of having to pull out your ID at the checkout line? You must buy a lot of paint.
