Hmm these tiny things tend to get hella hot for me :( Better a bigger one.

Nice! I still have a real VT520 here. This would be cool for when it dies eventually

Yeah you describe it very well. VRChat is not perfect, it has a lot of rough edges. But it's buzzing with activity. People enjoy themselves. Do sometimes weird stuff but not bother anyone. It's like the real world. Horizons is a b

Eh wait I requested them and I'm still very much in favour of them. Having the right to privacy is a big one. With chat control yes, that was totally evil. But I consider GDPR and DSA/DMA forces of good. The idea that there's

I see the opposite. A lot of US people trying to move here now that it's becoming unliveable there for eg trans people. I'm kinda in an lgbt bubble but still. I myself have informed my employer I will no longer even travel to the

True but Poland did come from a really really deep hole under the thumb of the Soviets. They were very thoroughly screwed over. I guess this is why Poland is the most anti russian country in the EU now (and rightly so) Just saying that grow

It's not a race anyway. The Americans always make things into one. But it's mainly their obsession with being "number one". Being number two or three is just fine. We will catch up. What I'm more worried about is th

Exactly. Also, whatever those AI leaders invent, two months later the whole world has it. I mean when GPT 3.5 came out it seemed amazing, but requiring a 8x Nvidia N100 or whatever guaranteed that id never have it at home. A year or so late

Not directly though. They get some exceptions and they have referenda to implement things. They align with the EU a lot for commercial reasons but not completely. Same with Norway. And really, if they did align completely there'd be no

The main 5G frequency in Europe is 3.5Ghz so it's about twice as high.
401.
by wkat4242 1y ago
6Ghz will suck for mobile due to the incredibly bad building penetration. One of the reasons that makes it pretty ideal for indoor WiFi.

This is terrible. The gdpr needs reform yes but it should be tightened. And definitely no giving in to US big tech demands.

It's a big differentiator with horizon worlds I think. They have an in world builder so you don't have to learn unity. On the other hand horizon is super restricted in what you can do, is way too heavily moderated and rubber tiled

I'm running the Win10 version (the latest for that). I will doublecheck, I'm sure I saw the windows store. Mainly running it because my skylake NUC is no longer supported by Win11. And it still works totally fine for programming m

LTSC is not as good as it used to be. There's no "all telemetry off" button, there's still a Windows store in the latest version. You still can't turn updates off. I guess you can do these things in group policies b

On that subject I really miss deep technical publications these days. Anandtech is gone and it was already down the hole when its namesake left for Apple. Ars never was really deep but it seems more shallow these days. Here in Europe we had

by wkat4242 1y ago
Even LTSC has bloat and telemetry these days. I use it a lot because it's still better than pro and enterprise but it's ridiculous.

True, climate change isn't only bad. Some parts will actually benefit at least for humans (local fauna will have more issues). It's climate change , not climate destruction. In the 60s the Soviets actually considered damming off

Yeah lol this way it really looks like a boneheaded idea

We can't lose that site. Hacker news can't exist without it in this day and age of paywalls.

Personally I stay away from Corp owned languages. Even cross platform ones like .net, Java and also swift. With the single commercial party owning it you never know if theyll close it, change things for the worse or get acquired by a hostil

Agreed. It was poking the bear. The other big three grey-circuit services have nothing to lose because they never claimed to be legit. If you claim the moral high ground you have to be impeccable. It also didn't help anyone during COVI

It's not just that though. They pulled a stupid stunt during covid. If you're campaigning for fair use, don't give your enemy ammunition to shoot you with by stretching said fair use too far. That was just really dumb. Beside

Why would I want to stop liking spicy pictures though :P

Yeah I even had multiple fido point numbers. Because there were some alternative networks. I kinda miss it. I also used uucp for a few years though it soon got replaced with full internet. We were bit behind in Europe and we caught up fast.

Yeah and a 'host' back then wasn't a cheap PC or something, they tended to be $30000 workstations or $300000 servers. At tech companies and Universities only, and mostly in the US. 60k sounds like a lot for those days. It gre

Oh I didn't realise it was a different technique but the result is similarly bad when zoomed in :(

GIS don't want half exploded buildings either. Nor would they care about photographic textures on the 3D models.

Nice, but when you look up close things like this and Google Earth look like a post-apocalyptic scene :) It would be amazing if they could also take user-generated photos and videos at ground level and accurate mapping data (that has buildi

Apple isn't really BSD. The mach kernel is very different. There's some shared heritage dating back to nextstep but it's very deep. And some userland. But that's really all.
