Doesn’t feel very reliable, the time I needed it- it didn’t work. What happens when those servers go offline? What happens if I reinstall the PS4? Sony was the principle architect of Blu-Ray, if even they can’t build a system that comes w

In some cases, even if you hold it you don't own it. I tend to purchase a lot of blu-rays, in fact if I don't buy the movie on Apple iTunes then it's almost always the case that I buy the blu-ray; then once I have the blu-ray

After the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Jolla moved to cut ties. It sought to disengage from any Russian ownership from early 2022, entered corporate restructuring at the Pirkanmaa District Court, and on 24 November 2023 the court approved a pr

Hey man, You’re not getting across a reasonable point here. Maybe take a step back and think about what you really want to say. Clearly something is landing wrong, but exactly what is not being well communicated.

Apple has historically tried to avoid “spec” unless its a comparative for illustration purposes. Apple always markets from a “what is the value to a consumer” angle. So, they don’t usually lead woth “128Gigabytes of storage”, they’ll say “1

I really utterly despise this kind of exceptionalism. You know, you probably don’t feel that your car has air in the fuel line or that your transmission is holding on to old oil. What you will “feel” is that your car feels “worse” and you w

Hundreds of good applicants can’t be whittled down to a dozen without being very picky about things in the resume which may just be a poor representation. You will bias heavily along some kind of axis, preferred previous employers or loca

“put substantial effort into it” is such a personal thing. DDG hires like this, actually, and if I recall correctly I would be paid a flat fee, it would take a week , and the work I did would be part of something genuine in DDG, maybe a bu

I’ve been through the Google process and I wouldn’t consider it to be the opposite of inhumane.

Devils advocate (really not affiliated with oxide, but I have worked for a “desirable” employer before). How would you handle a few thousand applicants for a single role? I think no matter what you do it will feel inhumane, we can argue tha

The reason people were sounding the alarm 10 years ago is because if you tie yourself to a proprietary platform then you're at its mercy, even if it changes for the worse for everyone which is what we're seeing now.

Attestation-gated anti-cheat is invasive, and the direction it points is grim. But "covers for incompetently designed netcode" doesn't hold at all. Netcode and cheat-resistance are mostly orthogonal. Netcode is latency-hiding

> join zoom meetings no reason this has to be centralised. in fact, Jitsi uses p2p with WebRTC until a third person joins the call: then migrates the call to be relayed. A really nice latency win.

Yeah, it's impossible to do anything about a stateful firewall to get p2p connections. It's a shame because if we could only get over stateful firewalling we'd be one step closer to the impossible task of using voice chat i

The sheer amount of times Airdrop has been the "best" way to share files takes away from your point a bit. It's almost always faster than anything else available, and ipv6 would make that method of sending files closer to the

depends on how you look at it. Right now it's very much a tragedy of the commons. IPv6 not being supported in many places means the internet is more centralised, less likely to use proper p2p tech- because it's a lot harder to mak
