It’s just another hype cycle, they happen rather … cyclically. I recommend ignoring them. Despite VCs trying to spend it into existence, we aren’t going to have another internet level event in information technology and the smartphone+lapto

Microsoft is pro open source, it's just that they use it as a means rather than an end which trips up a lot of people who view open source differently. Its a tool they use to encourage adoption of their developer tools and get people

Same for the c# one I think, the old language server was and is still open source but the .net core debugger has always been proprietary. I imagine it is because it is derived from the Visual Studio debugger in some fashion. JetBrains ran i

In my experience AirPlay 2 isn’t flawless, pretty much every time I try to use it there are stutters. This is using an iPhone 16 Pro to AirPlay to a stereo pair of Sonos Five’s that are connected using Ethernet. AirPlay isn’t a great choice

Guitars are manufactured from organic material. Even coming off of a factory line, no two guitars are identical because no two pieces of wood are identical.

I am curious as to what OS's you've tried. Fractional scaling is flawless on Windows and KDE6 with wayland in my experience.

48 inches at 4K is such a low pixel density, are you not bothered by how bad text looks compared to high DPI screens?

I am on Windows for the same reason but KDE finally has fractional scaling that works just as well as Windows. AFAIK, it is the only Linux DE that has it though.

That is true, although they could add that to a model 3. I wonder how Waymo deals with it.

Yeah I would be interested in seeing how the costs shake out. There is logic in this design being cheaper to manufacture but I would think that it would be a long while before you "broke even", so to speak, compared to using a des

Anybody know why the autonomous taxi isn't just a model 3? I don't see the point in a purpose built two seater with no steering wheel or pedals and I don't know why regulators would approve an autonomous car with no way to ma

> Linux makes it easy for you to be a developer, while other platforms fight you every step of the way I see this sentiment a lot but the developer experience on Windows is good to great in my experience. Much better than MacOS or linux

As recently as a few months ago you could see NSFW content in Narwhal 2 on iOS. Not sure if it has since changed. I do remember hearing they were planning that change, though.

I was hoping for a more holistic analysis about nintendos business model, the environmental impact, and how the purchasers choice to not buy Nintendos hardware and software fits in. But it is interesting food for thought nonetheless.

I feel like the blame mostly lies on people who pirate games. It's a sort of tragedy of the commons. We could have a better world (Nintendo not caring if we play switch games we bought at 4k60 on a PC) but people who pirate games mucke
