LG has a 5120x2160 OLED already, but it's 45" so the pixel density isn't great. It's also stupid expensive, about double the cost of a regular 4K OLED for 30% more width. They have 39" and 34" variants on their

It's a cost thing, ultrawide has always been expensive relative to how much extra area you get, and pushing the resolution up compounds that. 5120x2160 (extended 4K) panels do exist but they cost a fortune.

Porkbun or Cloudflare are the usual recommendations. CF sells domains at cost so they're a bit cheaper, but they have fewer TLDs and they lock you into using their nameservers.

X11 not supporting modern display technologies is arguably a bug, and it's not likely to get resolved at this point (e.g. it can't do mixed DPIs, or VRR with multiple displays, or HDR in general).

Yeah, it was also rebranded from "Beepberry" to "Beepy" because RIMs lawyers had nothing better to do than rush to the defence of a long-dead brand apparently.

I think they'd rather sell you an iPhone and an iPad Mini rather than one device that does both, just like they'd rather sell you an iPad Air/Pro and a MacBook with basically the same internals, rather than a convertible

Even if this is the actual production code at this very second, it won't match prod for long if they continue this pattern of only dropping an update every two years or so.

Well, some version of them are open source, which may or may not be what is actually running in prod. AFAIK the patch which made it obsessively bring up white South Africans was never published, and this algorithm repo went over two years b

It is, if your packages are popular enough then npm will force you to enable 2FA. They started doing that a few years ago. It clearly doesn't stop everything though, the big attack yesterday went through 2FA by tricking the author into

There might also have been some confusion because the Gamecubes official codename was Dolphin, so Nintendo's emulator may well have the string "Dolphin" in it despite having nothing to do with that Dolphin.

That's not true, the Switch version of Sunshine runs on an in-house Gamecube/Wii emulator called Hagi. Nintendo have always rolled their own emulators, although curiously their NES emulator uses a ROM header format which originate

That's because DP sources can (and nearly always do) support encoding HDMI as a secondary mode, so all you need is a passive adapter. Going the other way requires active conversion. I assume you have to pay HDMI royalties for DP ports

You're missing the unit, it's $0.085 per GB, not TB, and that's only for NA/EU traffic. I rounded up a bit from that number because other regions cost more, plus you get billed a flat amount for each request as well. T

Protect yourself how? Most cloud providers don't support any way to immediately abort spending if things get out of hand, and when running a public-facing service there are always variables you can't control. Even if you rig up yo

They do, but the risk of having to pay $1.44/TB after the first 20TB is easier to swallow than say, CloudFront's ~$100/TB after 1TB.

I think that's mainly down to those mega-huge games usually having preorders, and small indie game usually not, for whatever reason. Neither Deltarune or Silksong could be preordered so everyone was zerg rushing the stores at the same
