My broken QuietComfort headphones with the plastic earcup hinges would like to have a word…
I love my Bose headphones but man, don’t ever dare dropping them on the floor by mistake, they will shatter on the first hit.
To be fair in the past when this happened you could bring the broken pair in store to get a replacement or upgrade at a good price, but I hear the policy was abused too much so it was retired many years ago.
This was a great read, thanks for sharing!
The thumbnail caught my eye because I bought the Dragon Book many years ago to get some insight on compilers. So much knowledge that is still relevant today…
I have the same TV. It doesn’t specifically help you but using HDMI 2.1 sources works fine for 4K HDR 120Hz and VRR. I have too many devices (Xbox Series, PS5, AppleTV, Switch) so they are routed through a GUIDE3 switcher.
So I would think it is the DP converter or the HDMI cable not really being 2.1.
Ubiquiti NVR Instant kit is a great value, and you get 24h local recording without a subscription. And it is well supported with Home Assistant.
Some of the UniFi cameras are amazingly expensive though, $500 for an outdoor 4K camera is hard to swallow. But if you can swing it, you will not regret the investment.
I already have other UniFi gear for networking and it was natural to add cameras to the system.
Apparently UniFi Protect works with 3rd party cameras if they support ONVIF but I don’t know of any yet.
I was wondering if that also included the Arc of 285K, and it seems it does (in that it is not supported). Last non-pro Intel GPU that supported SR-IOV is Xe Graphics on 12th Gen…
I failed to get GVT-g running on 10th Gen, too unstable for a Windows VM for work. :(
Last time I installed Arch it used systemd-boot which only shows text. If you use grub in UEFI mode you can get those graphics too.
For professional use I’ve heard good things about SmartGit, unfortunately my work refused to buy me a license and the trial period wasn’t long enough for me to really form an opinion.
Work suggests to use SourceTree but it is way too sluggish.
These days I use git CLI for most things, and VSCode to review changes and submit PRs. Of course this also assumes you use a decent shell with git support, like Oh-My-Posh or similar, so it is always clear what you are working on.
That same exec vibe-coded the automatic captioning toggle for “foreign” languages. This time there is a checkbox on your account, but it doesn’t work. 😞
TIL about hidden options in Bitwarden, thanks!
I of course already use the password generator to make up the random string, and often you can’t use special characters there since they expect real words as answers.
This is the right answer. I never answer those, you add new entries in your password manager in the notes for the main site.
If you answer truthfully to any one of those “security questions”, your account is at risk.
Feisar represent…
I immediately thought of Wipeout too, loved the art design so much. I need to look at that artist’s work… (and apparently Marathon too)
For me what generally happens if I stop at 9PM, I will work through the problem in my sleep (and it will prevent me from getting a good night sleep), but I will often find a breakthrough the next morning during shower time.
I’m talking about those hard, multi-days debugging problems that nobody can figure out, but as someone else raised, that’s why I get paid good money for it.
It still sucks though. That first response in the thread rings so true, ok now I get it, no you don’t…
it’s not an optimization if you don’t measure an improvement.
This, so much. I often see this at work, theories about this and that being slow, or how something new « should » be better. As the resident code elder I often get to reply « why don’t you measure and find out »…
For some reason it seems nobody uses sampling profilers anymore, those tell you exactly where the time is spent, you don’t have to guess from a trace. Optimizing code is kind of a lost art.
Sometimes I wish compilers were better at data cache optimization, I work with C++ all the time but all of it needs to be done by hand (for example SoA vs AoS…). On the upside, I kind of have a good job security, at least until I retire.
I need to hunt down HZD out of storage, looks like the disc must be in the drive to get the upgrade pricing for the remaster.
No fast travel, now that is some dedication :) I know it usually pays off to walk everywhere especially in the beginning (at the very least you pick up resources that you’ll need anyway), but sometimes I just don’t want to.
Hey! I wanted to tell you that I came back to HFW after all due to your comment. I had logged 48 hours on it before I left, but was only 30% complete according to the PS5 dashboard.
I found that I liked the atmosphere, but it is definitely a slow game most of the time. So much filler dialogue between characters, puzzles are instantly spoiled by Aloy talking to herself way too soon before you’ve had a chance to work through them (God of War Ragnarok is also guilty of this).
And then there is the fact that Aloy will constantly put her life at risk at the slightest opportunity given by a stranger, even though story-wise she is literally the only one who can fix the Earth.
That being said I play the game in a particular way, I go through all missions (main or side) in the order of their level, and I tend to prefer the stealth approach to most fights. So this does slow down the game quite a bit. I think I am halfway through?
The overall vibe is really nice though, I might make it to the end this time. I’ve even put Burning Shores on my wish list!
Cheers!
I loved HZD so much on PS4, it is a great world, really good sci-fi story and awesome character progression. It feels so good to easily take down machines that you struggle with at the beginning, it never gets old to tear off parts and weapons to use against them. The DLC for it was a great addition.
Needless to say I jumped into Horizon Forbidden West as soon as it was released, and it did not live up to my expectations! The second go around everything feels so forced, I gave up midway through.
Solid recommendations throughout this thread…
I thought I read elsewhere there were some GPL 2 parts in there too, I guess not.
I tried to find a source for this more credible than “I remember reading it on Lemmy” but couldn’t, now that the repo is deleted nobody can confirm. Perhaps some forks still exist… 🤔
What bothers me the most here is that those are 64 bit instructions, which did not exist when PS/2 was a Thing. But I still chuckled, nice work.
Back then our registers were 32 bits wide, and we liked it 🤣
Unfortunately be aware that there are 2 types of cheap replacements, some are identical to the real thing and some are really cheap foam that is nowhere as comfortable. I don’t know how to tell the difference without ordering…
