I sometimes feel like I go on and on about this... but there is a difference between application and pages (even if blurry at times), and Next is a result of people doing pages adopting React that was designed for applications when they sho

Almost felt like the second video (despite being older) looked better in terms of texture jumping, looking closer now the wandering textures actually seems more to be more of an clipping issue than directly perspective correction related.

People literally play the games they work on all the time, it's more or less what most do. Pay 2000$ for indie games so studios could grow up without being beholden to shareholders and we could perhaps get that "perfect" QA,e

It's an valid issue, those of us who worked back in the day on GD/DVD,etc games really ran into bad loading walls if we didn't duplicate data for straight streaming. Data-sizes has continued to grow and HDD-seek times haven&#

Affine texture mapping is kinda jarring to look at, especially in this GBA port since there is no fixup with huge ground polygons drifting around. One of the listed features in the PS1 port in the OP article is tesselation to reduce the iss

It's machine-learning generated "slop" honestly. Looking at where I live and where I grew up the building heights are quite badly estimated. - Some groups of houses around here that are more or less identically built but on s

I think the point is that even drivers could be non-trusted and live outside of the kernel and just provide the exact service required with minimal access. That said, why do we still need drivers in 2025? Most regular printers should be dum

Well if I can cancel my HBO Max it will probably be a zero-sum thing (all the crappy "discovery" content they tacked on was just annoying and I have little interest in their "sports" offerings)

The problem is the arbitrary way the funding is allocated, find something interesting to companies du jour with a clear path to funding and you're golden. If whatever OSS is too obscure to be noticed by non-techies but still fundamenta

It was competitive before ChatGPT existed, and IMHO that gives them a special insight that people miss to consider in this context. They know what revenue streams existed and how damn hard it was to sell it, considering IBM Watson probably

Salespeople are often non-tech despite working for tech-firms, non-tech people are the ones who usually create messes by workarounds since they often quickly give up instead of reporting. If the non-reporting is a problem of the non-techs o

The article mentions blocking phones with stolen IMEI's, but iirc that's mostly up to telecom network providers to block rather than some "app". Also doesn't Apple have their own locking technology? In short, the ar

I'd be much more interested in bare metal ARM64 vs X64 workloads on modern hardware, remember the article that compared Hetzner VPN + Bare metal to Amazon workloads a while back? Amazon was so ridiculously gimped and expensive that it

Think of it this way, the global timer resolution of the system is minOf(allProcessesTimerResolution). If no process needs higher accuracy timing then there is nothing hindering the system from sleeping longer periods to save power and&#x2F

We got some Cobi set on a ferry cruise a few years back (Cobi 69120 Viking Line) and while kinda neat looking the tolerances/design made it hard to snap in and the decal placement (over edges) really made it a build-once model sadly. A

Those "10 year" winters seems to appear every year with producers falling back to burning fossil fuels to keep the grid working. Now part of that problem is that we more or less constantly export electricity to Germany (but that w

Cracking is a term related to removing copy-protections. Rooting or privilege escalation is better terms for what you're mentioning. As for "users intentionally installing malware", Windows in the early 00s had a bunch of fun
