It seems like it is not a lot of overhead if any at all. Also the hardware design easily accommodates it. So why not if the work is already done?

Good! I want a steam controller and found a used offer for 110€ but that is still above the price of 100€. I shall not be tempted. So I sent an offer for 75€.

My reservation will be fulfilled at some point! Dave the Diver can wait a bit longer.

I would love to spend the rest of my life creating open source software. Bonus points for working on my own projects and getting them to a state where other people can use them.

Nvidia was bad about this before the memory shortage. I need loads of VRAM but don't care about millions of cuda cores.

I really don't understand that restriction. Why do it?

You better use a certified device or you get 480p@16 bits per second.

Ohh and HDCP. When I opened Netflix on my pc 2/3 monitors went blank, back when I still used windows.

Any android box you can recommend? I am looking for something without all the bloat, ads and privacy nightmare. I have a shield. It is pretty nice but still bloated and too bulky to put behind a TV.

Projectivity helps. Android TV should be open source.

A Fire TV went nuts today spamming my network with 60k mdns Pkt/s. It took down all my WiFi access points because the CPUs couldn't handle it.

I have an oculus quest 1 and I am still salty that it doesn't get any updates anymore and that its bootloader is locked. It was very expensive. On the other hand my steam link which is discontinued got updates for a very very long time. Heck it might still get some.

The whole unknown sources thing was also highly unpleasant.

I have prepared this playlist for this question. These are all songs related to being out of time. (Ordered roughly by relevance)

I play most games with mouse and keyboard. But there are games that just play better with controllers especially casual ones. Also good luck couch gaming with keyboards and mice. :)

Make phones 18+ to buy. Make it a legal requirement for parents to set up parental controls. Make parental controls not suck ass. Make the phone tell the website if child or adult no age brackets nonsense. IMO children don't need access to all websites.

Still there are some issues where abuse can come from parents but hey if they wanted they could give their children alcohol too so that point doesn't really fly with me.

Eternal sunshine 🥲

Well that works until all frameworks like pytorch and co drop support for the compute level because the cuda libs drop them. Good luck compiling everything from source yourself.

Just wait until driver support is ended by nvidia. I have two P40 which are powerful and work well but nvidia just ended support (for compute) but I think the point still stands. Maybe it will be better with the new oss drivers

If you have an SSD consider hibernation. It's not that fast but usually much more stable and actually shuts down properly.

Yeah this usual stuff would be nice but the trade off with privacy and surveillance is not worth the risk IMO. :(

I want a health bar.

What functionality are you looking for? Most I can think of is gimmicky at best.

Would be interested even in gimmicky use cases.

I have been writing short stories, manuals, news paper articles and wiki like entries in a universe I have been making up for over 7 years now.

While some of the older works are a little out of sync with the current rules and history, I finally found the story in it that I wanted to tell all along!

A month ago it suddenly came to me and the independent stories fell into one big story. The twenty characters collapsed to like five and I have a consistent story outline. It was cathartic!

I really thought I would never make it this far! Something like that can happen even if you just write little pieces. No matter your goal if that happens it is very satisfying.

100% control was not meant literally. I recognize that 100% control might be unachievable. Sleep deprivation and many other factors can also reduce "control" which is equally undesirable in my opinion. Also true self might be a little loaded but I see it that way. You are free to interpret true self differently!

For me the most frightening aspect of drugs is not being my true self and not being 100% in control. I see it all the times when friends do them. While it is funny for me to spend time with them in that state, I would never want to be in that state myself. I do imitate drunkness and lower inhibitions to fit into the environment. Nobody takes any issue with me being sober then.
