Your last paragraph reminded me that I had to set up Waydroid so I could install Telegram(Android). Just so I could create an account, so I could then use the already installed Telegram desktop that came by default with like any mobile dist

I read Hacker News every day on my Pinephone. Calls and texts(mms included) 80-99% work. Youtube.com worked/still does but very badly. I'll just blame the really cheep SoC. When I tried to get GPS working it looked like 90% of it

You could just plug the phone into a small usb-c hub and plug some usb wifi dongel or ethernet cord into it. Not sure if that would solve your use case.

For me meta programing (code that can generate code based on other code). I used this on my current personal project to get serilization & tagged unions, in a language that didn't have those in the standard feature set. It enables

I've ran the installer for Vallorent. I don't remember it telling me it was going to go run code in ring 0. And I would likely have ended the install there if they listed any of the downsides. For most gamers you'd have to in

I did the same with ksp2... Part that really hurt there was finding out it was a production disaster the entire time.. One or 2 of the correct people in the right place could have saved it! Busy waiting on bots to build out 16 lanes of copp

Thinking about it the threads in a game that normally need more CPU time are the ones that are doing lots of sys calls. You'd have to use a fair bit of async and atomics, to split the work into compute and chatting with the kernal. Mig

Ouch, My first thought on seeing the hardware specs was it would be better than my Pinephone with my lapdock... This is a deal breaker for me.

I own a 5950x, that 130 number sounds extremly wrong for idle. I'd recommand checking settings in bios. I'm getting around 7-20 depending on which number I read in Ryzen Master, so adding in the gpu idle of around 30-40, I'm

I believe new suits where made/available somehow. The SpaceX and Boeing suits are not compatible with the others space craft.

I'm using Phosh, GNOME based, on my Pinephone and its fairly good (this comment was written with a tweaked desktop Firefox install on said Pinephone). The lack of powerful, efficent, mobile(read: smartphone), linuix friendly hardware i

My intro to programing was a TI-83, while bored in algebra 2 freshman year... I had no almost help so I was just figuring it out. Ended up making a 90% implementation of 2048, and about 1/2 of chess. While only knowing if, goto, matrix

More than just ordering! Most floating point logic in compilers cares about speed, precision, then reproducibility (optimization can/will cause debug vs release builds to give different results)... Then you have to control inputs to th

Some games that used a determinism based architecture, will actually provide immediate feed back faked on the client and then some how make that work when the real stuff happens later. See Starcraft providing instant audio response when mov

Determinism as a networking model is rare now a days(Still used though!) client/server is a better solution most of the time. And having determinism means the cheater could see everything. But having a deterministic sim means you must

It doesn't. But it does allow preventing stuff like like seeing through walls. Although it would have to fail around corners for a short distance so players don't pop into view. Server authoritative solves less and less cheating p

I use this same trick, to ensure I resume right where I left off. Works great! Also helps me jump right back in, don't have to go looking for a problem/rabbit hole.

I'm running the same as above. However do check both the memory and motherboard manufacture's tested with lists (QVL qualified vendor list) before purchasing! Each product should have its own compatablity listing.

Would just like to thank you for having an interactive site that runs fast on my Pinephone despite its lackluster SOC. Checking the weather ended up giving Mozilla an automated crash report this morning....

As someone writing this on a pinephone the primary issue with the statement is the lack of context. You 'put linux on it' and get OSS, and control of your own device. But most of the time lose 90% access to the abilities of ios&#x

Adding a possible example here to back Glen's comment. Larger render distance Minecraft servers, Bandwidth cost is un-predictable (Player movement based ex: Elytra, portals, joining) and scales squared! with the render distance.

So I have not done this myself but perhaps look into what game engines have in terms of UI options paired with cross platform support.

Addative manufactering (welding) has the advantage of working towards a critical mass. Where as subtractive requires getting even closer to it then moving away from it, as you make the desired part.

You could also solve uneven train unloading by just having the train leave after a certain ammount of time or empty.

As someone using a pinephone (and thus running desktop apps on a phone screen), this is why I often leave the screen scaling at 200%...
