The antenna on these cheapo modules is bodged anyway. They don't get a good signal out and it's not just because of the size. I have other modules from waveshare that use the same antenna and they work way way better. So yeah I al

You're right. I oversimplified. However when I worked with SDH it was particularly popular because some customers like banks vetoed ATM because they were incredibly worried one of their packets would make its way to a third party. At t

ATM was packet switched :) SDH was circuit based.

No it's not steam's fault but they do allow it to happen.

For now yes. But what when the industry moves to streaming? It's the ultimate copy protection because you never even get the game code.

Yes but they can force new versions with limited functionality. Like when they deleted half the music from GTA San Andreas. On GoG you can choose to install every older version they've distributed (though GTA is not on there obviously)

I get your sarcasm but it's good that a paper very strongly focused on economic activity is on board with the need to tackle climate change. A couple decades ago all the capitalist neoliberal institutions were still trying too pooh-poo

Absolutely, the heat itself is not the problem. I read that every day the earth receives more heat energy from the sun than was ever stored in all the fossil fuels on the planet. What's more the problem is that we could have spent that

Deforestation causes more extreme weather like floods and landslides which also remove fertile soil, and trees don't regenerate quickly enough to prevent that from happening. And global warming also increases weather instability at a r

France's nuclear is long paid off, and there were big government investments into building the industry around it because France is a nuclear power. It's not exactly the same tech obviously but when you build nuclear weapons yours

You're breathing that 'haze' the whole time though. That can't be good.

One recent game I really liked was VirtuaVerse. Not incredibly hard, really good music and art design. It really felt like it took the lucasarts game style into the next century.

MI1 was nice IMO. Not too hard, the insult game was innovative. It established a lot of characters. MI2 was way way too hard for me. And when I played it first on Amiga a lot of transitions took one minute to load from floppy which made it

That is really what everyone else does. When you get the auto downloaded Nvidia driver you get only the bare basics and it's not bugging you to install the GeForce experience stuff like they do if you download it from their website.

I think what also plays a role is that this way each tenant gets charged for AC use through their own power bill. No difficult central accounting to do. Still, split units are way easier and more efficient but I guess the landlords just go

Most LGs had a serial option, you can plug in a very specific USB to serial module in its USB port and then control it over serial with fairly generic commands. Not sure if they still have this though. Mine does.

Oh ok that is impressive, true. The 10x lens from Samsung was also nice, I don't understand why they went back on that. I never got it though because it was only available on the ultra and I hate huge phones.

Is Apple going higher with optical then? Samsung has been going back with their optical zoom, from 10x to 5x and I heard they might even go back to 3x :'(

Agreed. KOReader is great in terms of capability but it is really let down by poor UI. I got used to it but it's not great

Well yes the ones they actually sell right now, yes But they announced the Aura which has 3 cams no less: https://www.xreal.com/es-en/aura And also two of them are in the same spot as Meta's so it will be really h

We have plenty of state funded public news services in Europe but they do the same. Just shallow Reuters copy paste slop. The real deep dives are hard to find. And I don't think only money brings quality. Hobbyists tend to do great wor

Exactly! I'm noticing this already as an Xreal user. They're great for travelling, you have an amazingly huge screen and together with Samsung DeX and a foldable keyboard you basically have a whole Desktop pc with you. A year ago

Eh remember when the vision pro came out and some idiots just had to wear them out on the street and in coffee shops? That was definitely not popular.

I love my Xreals. They don't even have a camera for tracking as they're the first generation. Unfortunately due to meta's perv glasses they are getting a bad name too, it happens when I'm using them that people think I&#

I think people don't really buy phones every year anymore because they can't afford it. But because they're kinda meh year on year. I don't buy apple anymore but my Samsung S23 from 3 years ago has the exact same cameras

Yes, email is just completely broken. It's not private, sender identification is mediocre at best (and nonexistent without things like DMARC and SPF), and all the kludges thrown up make self-hosting harder. Spam has zero cost basically

AI has kinda already gone through that phase, with quantisation you can effectively double your ram with almost no negative effects by going from fp16 to int8.

You can get prepaid ones that you can top up with cash, in many countries you don't have to register them to your name.

Besides, Banning those models in the US does nothing to protect from other actors using them. That doesn't help in any way. It also doesn't stop non law abiding US citizens from having access to them. So basically it just stops th
