Based on the general availability of 10gbit on consumer-priced hardware, I wonder if we'll actually get past 10gbit over the next 20 years. Hell, even 2.5 is only _just_ starting to pop up and usually results in only a couple ports on

Boards with number pads on the left are called south paws. I'm a lefty and I've always thought the numpad is in a more convenient location on the right, but what do I know.

You are correct, that being said there are a few "Steam Emulators" out there (of varying levels of shadiness) and Valve hasn't tried to take them down. It seems like they rely on "the ecosystem" as some sort of DRM

"Hacking" like this is such an important skill that someone can develop. I've been working a lot with getting older games to run on modern Windows, and a good chunk of my time has been spent in a hex editor. The other day for

Are you stuck on the actual design of Fluent UI?

A friend and I run an in-person LAN party with about ~20 seats. We play generally older games that existed in a time before Steam. I wasn't happy with manually loading GOG installs onto a machine and often times duplicating or imaging

Yeah they don't give a single damn. They certainly won't release a fix for this.

I would question how many people this actually affects, but who knows, I'm also in the "Just use Windows 11" camp.

Seems like an overreaction to this bug.

I'd argue that it's unavoidable. These glyphs are meant for communicating to humans. Trying to reduce it removes the human element out of it, which can remove concepts like intent and context.

It's wild to me that they still offer the Mega 2560 Rev3 for nearly $50 with a USB-B port.

I have a problem identifying what hole tablets have filled, or even what devices they've truly replaced. When the iPad was released, many outlets were making silly claims like laptops will be gone within 5-10 years. The touchscreen sma

I would imagine this doesn't open up the opportunity for other engines.

So the argument against not implementing it is... it's not implemented everywhere?

I'd also say this. The technical aspect of a game compared to the actual game design is a very different sort of problem. Specifically with Minecraft you could design a game using mods like Create. For inspiration I would point to the

This is a nightmare for people who produce actual print materials. My SO is a print designer doing mostly packaging design but also does some trade show materials. There is an incredible amount of thought in layout that can almost be consid

Actually, this makes a lot of sense. I've really been struggling with my ADHD over the past couple of years. And yeah, this time it was a much higher dosage than I had done in the past... like 2-3x. It had been a few years since my las

And the only roads in and out of your neighborhood leads directly to a Kroger. And there's barbed wire fencing surrounding your neighborhood. Meanwhile, deliveries being made to Kroger from distributors may only use Kroger-branded truc

Mine was actually initially triggered because I thought the house we were in was going to burn down. I absolutely had some other anxiety issues at the time, but I still wanted to highlight that people shouldn't minimize how much a bad

My last was also a nightmare. There was a point about 3/4 of the way through where I started to have panic attacks and started sweating so much that it looked like I stepped out in a hurricane. This was while I was in a very cold basem

The content server is fine, but it's the managing of the library that is done in the desktop application. I have a home server that I use to host Jellyfin and such, and Calibre is the one application that wasn't really built to be

Being able to switch between multiple libraries under one application, and being able to assign those libraries based on a logged on user is sort of what I'm talking about. My partner and I have two very different tastes in books, and

Love the project. Calibre is absolutely an amazing tool, but it never really adapted into the whole self-hosted era. I really like the focus on maintaining compatibility with the Calibre library. Personally the features I use the most are t

Absolutely. Reimplementation of some of the oldest Windows APIs really is a strength of WINE and sort of makes me want WINE on Windows :P

There's less of that in the Mac space I would agree, but in the mobile space there's a large percentage of iOS users that turn their nose up at Android users.

While it is incredible how far these compatibility layers have come, I've been working a lot with getting old games running on modern Windows and I'm continuously impressed at how few barriers there are. The amount of backwards co

Does the performance per watt on a mini desktop matter all that much at this scale? Don't get me wrong, it's impressive what ARM is able to pull off, but unless energy prices are crazy high in your area I've never really unde

There are parts of the US that widely use your standard heat pump such as Florida. Here in the Midwest most single family homes use central air which is a combination of an outdoor air conditioner unit and a natural gas furnace. Heat pumps
