It's not taxpayer funded, the grid has an overabundance of daytime solar that exceeds their capacity to store it.

This machine runs Linux, it comes with KDE. This is the open Apple Vision Pro alternative that you can use as a real computer. It comes with a black and white passthrough camera but you can add on a 5K color one. There's ongoing work f

To be fair there because most of the submissions about Windows are negative ones, which means the comments are either "Windows sucks" or "I'm glad I stopped using Windows" The last time I remember hearing positive n

I recently wiped Windows off my wife's machine after the last straw broke with Windows - it gave her a full screen prompt after a reboot that forced her back to Edge and copied all of her local documents to OneDrive. She only plays a h

But the people saying "it'll run fine" are also the people running the store and ultimately responsible for refunds in this situation. So you expect them to deny refunds and then say "hey you shouldn't have believed

When the company running the store sells three hardware products where they say "ignore that, it'll work on our OS" they need to take responsibility.

Valve absolutely knows what platform you've logged into desktop Steam from even when you're on a mobile device, and can pop up a dialog during purchase saying "This game requires Microsoft Windows, and you have not been activ

The money was given to Valve, which then gave money to Ubisoft. Valve sells the game and handles refunds.

Valve should. Valve is the one making these games available for purchase on non-Windows platforms. Ubisoft never supported this.

EAC supports Linux, but by doing so you're disabling a number of security features since you're making the anti-cheat run entirely in userspace. Remember these games aren't Linux native either, so it allows Windows-using chea

Haiku feeds off the interest and fun it brings to its developers. If you put AI in the mix you can poison what they do for fun and sink the project.

They're doing this, it's the "use experimental SteamRT 3 client" in the interface settings.

We've had a lot of open systems and protocols, SIP, XMPP, Matrix, desktop Linux, Mastodon. It only gains adoption from the technologically savvy and fails to capture a regular user base. My mother, a 70 year old retired special educati

I actually went into reading this thinking I'd agree with you that "yeah that's such hyperbole they must have made something good", and to my shock the good things they have shipped they eventually ruined. Examples: Edge

You can assign a mobile device policy on the Mac, and the OS is image based (like a Chromebook). They are much more flexible than Chromebooks, you're not running Adobe Premier or Logic on ChromeOS. The price is also close enough that i

It's not about crypto, its about process. Compare this action to one by Debian or Wikipedia where there's a formal proposal, time for written pros and cons with convincing arguments for each side, and a meeting where the vote is h

I don't like crypto but this is poor reasoning, hastily implemented, and given very little time for discussion. There does not seem to be any concrete plan for notifying impacted projects or giving them a roadmap to migrate. This is un

You don't need a grid forming inverter to re-synchronize with the grid, you only need a grid forming inverter if you need a complete cold start or to support a grid island. In the context of our discussion, adding more capacity, that&#

by tapoxi 2mo ago
Yeah that's what an inverter does, the "tie them to the grid" part. Every solar system has them, and they can islanding or not.

That's not FUD though, they literally did that. Once trust is lost you don't just get it back. It takes a very long time to rebuild that.

Isn't solar the fastest energy source to spin up? Just take them out of the crate, put them on racks, tie them to the grid.

I mean normally this type of discussion is silly, but in playing competitive shooters latency does make a huge difference, and it shows that XWayland is adding ~4ms of latency. There is a native Wayland driver for Wine/Proton but it&#x
