Steam has decades of games. It's highly probably a large percentage of them aren't currently even in a buildable state on Intel anymore.

A lot of game industry operates on a "release and move on" model; nobody has time to keep updating an old game hardly anyone buys instead of working on a new thing. On PC and console this is fine because your games keep working mo

The previous “Part 1” post is very candid about the approach, and the titles of both posts mention prompting.

labwc is closer to Openbox; it doesn't ship a taskbar.

So much for coordinated disclosure, I guess.

If I understand correctly, something like DeltaDB has always been part of the plan. Zed is a moonshot to reimagine collaborative development from the ground up. The editor, developer communication, the way changes are tracked, everything.

It was basically forked into RubyMotion, which is closed source but actively developed.

That date feels a little bit late. The PS/2 devices that superseded the bus mouse started appearing around 1987. There were certainly still bus mice around in 1995, but they were thoroughly obsolete.

None of those are modern. There's been A LOT of new ideas in board game design in the last eighty years.

Well, a lot of the early examples of this style aren't very good. ;-)

Dominion has a fair amount of depth, but it seems common for individual player groups to get hung up on a particular play style and decide that they've found the ultimate strategy.

Please accept my apologies. Stable LOVE ships a pretty old version of LuaJIT; I didn't realize it'd been resolved upstream.

I dunno about the Kindle 7 specifically, but replacing the battery in many models is pretty easy.

I dunno if this is what you were seeing, but LuaJIT has some serious performance issues on ARM. https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=94760 It's unfortunate as Love2D is generally VERY snappy on x86. I used it

Tables are kinda-sorta hashes that can hold anything, not unlike JavaScript objects. The array use case is just a table with automatically assigned numeric keys.

One of the DRM circumvention methods for the Xbox 360 involved precision drilling a specific depth into one of the chips on the board. Microsoft was very aware of the nature of physical access while designing this, haha.

Xbox One homebrew has effectively always been supported. Anyone can register a development account and boot the system into dev mode. IIRC in a talk about console security, a Microsoft developer noted that this was an intentional deterrent

It's closer to the "sealed system volume" model that macOS uses. The core OS filesystem isn't (normally) writable, although you can finagle it to add drivers and such.

It's less stress on a frequently used port. I've got an early M1 MacBook Air where the USB-C port I always used for charging is starting to get flaky, presumably because it's been used so much and because of the weight of the

Those old 2011 machines aren't really getting macOS security updates anymore, and compatible apps are dropping; I wouldn't recommend using anything but Linux on them. And even with a non-15-year-old battery, you'll be lucky t

Is this the sort of thing that Flatpak would be useful for? Or are there sandbox-related complications when using it to package a compiler?

Any official source? YouTubers have been saying that Intel is shuttering Arc at every minor setback for years.

Friendly reminder that GOG ignored and downplayed the GOG Galaxy 0-day privilege escalation bug CVE-2020-24574 [1] for literal years. They tried to brush off the security researcher who reported the issue by rotating keys and claiming it wa

This is the most Helldivers 2 part for me. Spells being intentionally tricky to execute, combined with accidental element interactions and "friendly fire."

I love Decoupled, but the lack of updates and Apple's tendency to delist unmaintained iOS apps makes me nervous. I swapped over to VLC last year.
