Is PC gaming on your TV the real selling point of the steam machine?

Now I have the theme from A Series Of Unfortunate Events in my head again. I don't mind

> It did fall to the usual “model killers”: the nine-pointed star, Count Rugen, the overcrowded flat Earth. I'd never heard of text to image model killers so I had a good chuckle at this. Such oddly specific things for us to arrive

Fun fact: Ireland used to be referred to as "wolf-land" by the English because the island was overrun with wolves. The last wolf was killed here in 1786, now we're one of the only places in Europe with no wolves, apart from a

Ok but - and again I'm trying not to be negative, simply trying to understand - if you want a flight sim that works on Windows 10 and supports 4k HDR, wouldn't it be a lot easier to just build it from scratch, rather than trying t

Noob question. I really hope this doesn't come across as negativity. I love that people spend time on making old games work, but why do people decompile games that can be emulated by DOSbox or the like? Surely a game this old runs abso

No, absolutely not, and that's my point. A real test would be having to type the definition, or pick from ten options

If you didn't already know what Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia was, it's very easy to guess from four options. I agree there were too many clicks per word, I took me too long to finish. But I also found it too easy to guess

> For the non technical, this is like asking a delivery driver to drop off packages at 3 houses at the same time without ever stopping the truck. I'm already hallucinating about how this could work and it involves catapults

I'm happy to report I can see much more than 3 out every window.

Lovely to see the entire process of planning all the way through building, and it's a nice change from the usual type of project shown on HN, and even a change from the way in which woodwork projects are normally presented Good job

Gpt2 was too dangerous to release. We just don't see it yet. Sure, the model itself was harmless, but it lit the fuse

No, spaceX is based on the idea that Elon Musk likes rockets but loves money. The IPO proves that - the company pivoted to renting server capacity through xAI and pushing a ridiculous plan to put server farms in space via their constantly e

I'm delighted to see at least someone is trying this. There are also millions of old laptops discarded every year, often with perfectly capable motherboards, but with minor issues outside of the compute (keyboards, screens, dead batter

Plenty of laptops have Ethernet, and as for fanless, a lot of people choose active cooling for a pi5

by taffydavid 4mo ago
You might be surprised how small a laptop motherboard can be. Once you take away screen, keyboard, battery, speakers, daughter boards and all that, you can have an actively cooled motherboard as slim as a pi and not much bigger. If you need

Pi's attraction was that it was a cheap hobby computer. I could buy a whole laptop for that money. I know RAM prices are crazy right now, but I just bought a 16gb Ryzen 7 motherboard to repair an IdeaPad for €70

I never got into HWR. I already type faster than I write with a pen. Waiting for it to convert my scribbles to text, even if it gets it right first time, is just a painfully slow process even on an ipad pro. I'd rather just use a touch
