I mean, I want both. Or rather, there's a cutoff point where I am okay with one, or the other. Right now the state of things are in a worst of both worlds scenario. I think cars are: Too expensive and complex now in the name of "s

Even in windows, nvidia drivers have been bad. One particularly nasty example is the SteamVR frame drop bug they introduced last... May? Still isn't fixed, though they finally posted they found the cause and the next patch will suppose

Congrats (seriously)! However, many of the interview tests themselves seem to discriminate for age (or at least, distance from college graduation as a function of time). Like another commenter here noted, its a collection of typically small

This is interesting.. is the M1 chip's GPU a tile-based chip similar to other mobile/ARM SoCs? If so, that could be a problem for truly higher end graphics work as certain operations such as real time shadows, fullscreen shaders,

Oof, so true. Dealer software is stuck in the 90s.

Thats quite an achievement! Personally, I prefer Krita these days though. Seems much more usable and has better pen integration and touchscreen usability

Anyone know if linux can be installed on these or has apple gone full lockdown? I'm guessing custom graphics drivers will need to be made...

If all COVID19 related treatments and on-going care were covered under a form of universal health care in the US, I'd be willing to participate in the larger economy and pick up my daily routines again. Those who are high risk or older

The fact that high quality simultaneous audio input/output isn't possible is a big negative for BT that I just can't believe hasn't been addressed yet.

I don't mind the UI itself, per-se. However demoting bookmarks to such an inconventient level boggles my mind. Instead we have "collections" which are basically... bookmark folders? Except they don't sync to desktop like

Do you know of any workflows like this using entirely open source software? EDIT: Seems like caster itself has instructions for an open source recognition engine to pair with it. Not sure how accurate it'll be but I'm going to giv

Also, if you really want to dive into the crazyhouse idea you can try learning Shogi which is effectively the Japanese version of western chess and has the drop rule and interesting promotion mechanics.

Just tried nightly and haven't updated my main version yet. The lack of addons is sad and I'm not confident they'll be adding them back with any haste. However the biggest issue I see is that the default page is empty, theres

Thanks, patents! I think they just expired, finally. FF steering wheels were still being made, but the lower volume stuff like flight joysticks hadn't been willing to pay the licensing cost

Lack of benefits, job security/confidence you will find 6 out of 12 months of contracts on a regular schedule. You'd need to be pretty sure you could average out 50% of your pay (more like 60-70% to cover benefits and the extra t

In a corporate network full of critical systems, absolutely! On a home PC used to check email or play games... no way should updates be forced upon an end user who specifically opts out. Note this update applies to Win10 "Pro" ver

Agreed. If they do pass something like this it had better include net neutrality provisions for any ISP taking the money, too.

Yeah anything from them should be taken with a healthy grain of salt at this point, but I'm cautiously optimistic. My game was on Go/Rift but reject from Quest with a "Why don't you try releasing on the Rift first!"

> Antitrust law (at least in the US) is conducted on the basis of harm to consumers. This is far from a consensus view amongst lawmakers and economists.

by cybwraith 6y ago
Antitrust is not purely about consumers, but about protecting a competitive and open market. However I will admit that this has been widely debated and is not actually consensus in US history. A counter-argument is that antitrust action sho

Thats why its called anti- trust . If we are in a position where society needs to trust a company to not abuse their power, then they should be a candidate for anti-trust actions.

I think this actually lines up with what the various stats being posted say though. Once people hit their 30s, the situation tends to reverse. Men tend to have more solid careers by their 30s and are more attractive because they are more st

I think a huge part of it is the move from desktop apps as a sold product, to disposable web/web-wrapped apps. This happened mostly over the past 10-15 years and while I'm older than OP, I noticed a similar drop in quality of life

Most people have to pay for ACA plans out of pocket, and those plans still have massive coinsurance. 20-30% typically, which when your total hospital bill is $50k-100k, still adds up to enough to wreck most US family finances.
