Another upside of LIDAR is that it isn't a camera. The robot sees a one-pixel 360 scan, which is quite enough for navigation, but doesn't have the privacy implications that come with an IoT camera device. I would not take a camera

This sounds like a good way to do it. I'm a freelancer with variable income so I can't do a fixed investment rate. For me it's useful to see what was the actual rate vs. what I'd like it to be, and the high level view is

Yes, very true. It might be useful to start with overtracking to see where the money actually goes. I didn't track anything until about 5 years ago as my mental model was "track all purchases", and I wasn't willing to do

I do the same, except I track even a bit less. I track monthly all account balances, salary/income, paid taxes, transfers to investment accounts, rent/mortgage, and health insurance. This is enough to map investment performance, f

You're talking about the Proton version, parent was talking about the Linux native build that is optimized for Steam Deck.
126.
by distances 9mo ago
The key word was Linux build. There's now an official Linux version so that BG3 runs better on Steam Deck. Everyone else should keep using Proton to run it like they've done this far. Which applies to all the games, basically. I n

Yes, but it wasn't iPhone that ate their markets, it was Android. Nokia and Blackberry were both at the top because they had their own operating systems, and while they were losing the high end market to iPhone, they would've kept

Yeah I agree a detachable cable would've been better. The keyboard itself is very good though, I'm quite happy with it!

I think new devices are primarily USB-A too? All my keyboards and mice are A, also the one I bought this year: https://perixx.com/products/periboard-535

I use USB-A for mouse and keyboard, so I need at least two ports. Both are much better with a cord.

I don't think he suggested hating all the Russians. But I agree that we shouldn't promote or glorify any aspect of the Russian culture, including the language, until they face the truth and start making amends for their history. I

I was going to comment on the Mac exclusivity too which might be a bad idea now that Linux is on the rise. But you're right, there's a Linux beta too now. Thanks for the pointer.

Depends on your workload of course, but my upgrade from 3700X to 9950X3D gave a massive boost and I should have upgraded to 16-core a lot earlier.

That smells of bad team practices. Put a practical limit on PRs sizes as the first step, around 500 lines max is a good rule of thumb in my experience. Larger than that, and the expectation then is a number of small PRs to a feature branch.

The delivery fees are a good thing. I end up with less impulse purchases when I have to bookmark my wants until I have a pooled enough for free delivery. Turns out I don't need that many things after all.

They indeed have the worst apps of the streaming services, at least the Android and Chromecast. They look nice but perform very poorly. And now they simultaneously added ads and raised prices. I haven't dropped the subscription yet but

So now Soviet Union was "pushed" to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, and to attack independent countries? I'm sure modern Russia was also "pushed" to attack Ukraine and Georgia? There's no need for antirussian prop

I don't foresee any Bluetooth need either for my desktop setup. But yeah I do see that many buyers would want that for headphones if nothing else, so it makes sense to include the chip.

I updated my computer this year, and didn't find anything without wifi either. So it seems it's a small tax you just have to pay now.

For your next desktop, get a motherboard with an optical audio output. Or add a soundcard with that for your current computer, those are still made.

Quite a flashback. I switched to optical TOSLINK maybe about 20 years ago, which solved all those issues obviously. It's a bit weird how rare optical outs are on motherboards even today -- clearly less than half have them -- when it is

Yes, dist-upgrade was the biggest pain with the Ubuntu based KDE neon too. I'd wait for multiple months after a new version was published before I'd upgrade, and still would often encounter issues that broke the boot. I made sure

I'm another former long-term KDE neon user that switched to CachyOS. It's been very pleasant, so much so that I put it also on my laptop.

I understood that temperature wasn't the problem. How it works is that you pump water into one well, and get it out from an adjacent one. The main problem was permeability, they couldn't get the necessary flow rate between the wel
