A few months ago I found out my FireTV enabled smart TV supports Steam Link. I had to sideload the APK, but once it was installed the game streaming worked great at 1080p. You can get a surprising amount of hardware to work as a game stream

The reason is invariably that men dominated game development for decades. Your only market was selling to other masculine-identifying customers, if you didn't in some way pander to male obsessions then you'd usually struggle to fi

Things aren't going to change. America just let private wealth run rampant over everything that matters and now wants to usher in an administration that (supposedly) wouldn't touch your civil liberties with a 50 foot pole. Trump s

I can't tell if this is a parody or not. Are any of the things they just said bad? Why do we need a nanny state to step in and tell banks who they are and aren't required to platform?

Spot-on. Hacker News has a hate-boner for Facebook and the Facebook-branded products, but from an engineering standpoint they're up there with Netflix solving problems at scale. FAIR had a better reputation than OpenAI since the start,

It's funny. The only time I've ever seen Hacker News unanimously applaud a Facebook product was when Pytorch announced they merged Apple Silicon support. Seems like Mr. Zuckerburg knows how to play a winning hand.
