To be honest, all consumer cloud storage providers get touchy when you access them via API. Dropbox API refuses to sync certain 'sensitive' files like game backups (ROMs or ISOs). There is no way for Dropbox to know if you own the

I'm sure your sarcasm is right. You're likely a good, godlike engineer that would fix even the most intractable race conditions within 48 hours. There's a lot of you, out there.

Well yeah, you can turn any lossless format lossy by introducing an intermediate step that discards some amount of information. You can't practically turn a lossy format into a lossless format by introducing a lossless intermediate ste

Yeah, "no bug should take over 2 days" tells me you've never had a race condition in your codebase.

Microsoft is pushing hard for UEFI + ACPI support on PC ARM boards. I believe the Snapdragon X2 is supposed to support it. That still leaves the usual UEFI + ACPI quirks Linux has had to deal with for aeons, but it is much more manageable t

EEVDF is not BORE. Well, technically BORE is something wrapped around either CFS or EEVDF. Interestingly enough, specifically for high sustained load situations (which handhelds are likely to hit given their limited power budget), the CFS v

Carriers actually massively jacked up SMS fees, just not for consumers. One of Signal's main cost centers is activation SMS messages. For many other small players it is a significant factor too.

It really depends. If it's the occasional request and I can bang out a solution in 30 minutes, I'll help. But I'll also weigh how much maintenance burden it'll be going forward. And if I won't do it myself, I'd

They are, but Linux or BSD doesn't matter all that much when it is about the meta case of deciding the defaults. Funnily enough I feel a BSD is much more suited to modems / routers, if it weren't for HW WiFi support. Yes, I k

Ah, well, honestly there goes to show that well-engineered Electron applications (VScode, 1Password) can feel pretty much as good as native or near-native applications (Telegram).

The answer is that developers mainly use Macs, and they don't want to deal with a crappy Electron application in daily use so they give themselves the privilege of a better experience even if it makes no business sense. You can see the

Google works around a ton of out-of-spec hardware / driver quirks for Android's ExoPlayer media player stack. So it is more than reasonable to expect Google to add a workaround for this.

If we get really lucky, some gamer dev will look at the Sony DualSense driver (yes, they wrote and upstreamed an official one) and figure out a way on how to shim / expose the adaptive triggers to Steam Input bindings.
