I'm not saying you're wrong, but we're on year 3 of this brand new tech and it's "kinda better, kinda worse". Think about the iPhone in 2007 vs 2010. They can call it whatever they like; it's still an utte

They really phoned it in on this one. No physical IPD adjustment, an 80hz LCD rather than the 90hz OLED, a very marginal resolution increase to 1280×1440 (which is still less than the $200 WMR headset I bought almost two years ago), and no

There's a short explanation and a very nice 2 minute video demonstrating how it works. I think expecting people to be able to view a webm video is pretty reasonable.

Current status: still sucks, unfortunately. From what I've seen the developers have more-or-less decided that it would be a lot of effort to get scaling and input to work correctly for X applications with HiDPI, and they'd rather

The simple case, if you just want to use it, is that you go to https://riot.im/app and sign yourself up as a new user. You can talk to other Matrix users, join rooms, and in general use it like any other chat service. Riot

How well does the Steam integration work? I haven't tried setting up a bridge yet, but even on the web client I constantly get logged out.

All three are the puppet bridges from here: https://github.com/matrix-hacks . The Hangouts and Slack bridges run on the odroid, same as synapse, and iMessage runs on an old mac mini I bought off of ebay. The docs could be be

I have a Matrix homeserver running on an Odroid XU4 that sits under my TV. I also have bridge servers running for iMessage, Slack, and Hangouts (which includes Google Voice) that connect those services into Matrix. Being able to see and res

I believe paychecks were due today. Missing two paychecks can be very painful for a lot of people. I would expect things to cascade pretty quickly from this point.

Did not know that. Honestly I would pay a bit more for Intel wireless vs. Killer. Thanks.

They're working with UBPorts and KDE to get Ubuntu Touch and Plasma Mobile running on the phone. PureOS is where they do their work, but they're made a point of trying to upstream everything. They're doing it right.

It has almost identical performance at a little over half the power consumption. They're ahead.

It's very expensive, it has a ton of horsepower, and it's literally named "Pro". If it's purpose it just light browsing and watching netflix then it feels like a bit of a waste.

With vim bindings are you still having to manually strip out xcode's code signature to install the plugin? That was the state of affairs last time i tried to do it.

Using an iPad for work is kind of odd. If you mostly just need to do things like read, browse social media, and send emails you can use it like a tablet and then prop it up when you need to type. Or, on the opposite end of the spectrum, you

They often are. But it's not something that's fundamentally built into the platform like it is on Facebook. YouTube receives no benefit from it so they certainly don't promote it, and the audience discourages it too because t

Yes, you are overreacting. Perfect is the enemy of good. Encryption is not so easy when you have a room with potentially hundreds of users, each with many devices, and you have to safely share keys between all of them. I'm using it, an

Can you share that script or explain a little on how to do that? I assume you cant just `rsync -r /` and you'd have to ignore certain things like `/dev` and `/proc` or whatever.
