Couple of years, yeah.

They run their own registry at lscr.io. You can essentially prefix all your existing linuxserver image names with lscr.io/ to pull them from there instead.

I can type 60-70 WPM on the virtual keyboard of my phone without autocorrect. While that’s nowhere near the speed of me using a regular-sized physical keyboard, I can’t type that fast on a physical phone-sized keyboard like a Blackberry one.

I know quite a few people miss these physical smartphone keyboards, but I’d argue they were never all that great. YMMV.

Many people buy games outside of Steam. Sure, relatively speaking it’s a minority and if a game is available on Steam and elsewhere, most will pick it up on Steam.

But part of the reason why Steam is so good is because these other platforms exist and there’s nothing actually stopping anyone from buying their games from other stores. Cloud saves, game streaming/remote play, online play, family sharing and many more features are all free/included with the game purchase on Steam and they also pioneered many of these features. Steam Workshop adds great value as well, there isn’t anything remotely comparable on any proprietary console.

Steam is good because it has to be in order for people to choose to use it.

And “deep discounts” are the same as ever, I see some games 90% off on sales events. Sure, successful AAA titles usually don’t get a big discount 2 weeks after release, but in the end the publisher sets the pricing anyway. Generally, even when comparing full price, games are just cheaper on Steam compared to PSN (10 to sometimes 20 $/€ for big titles).

Not being publicly traded makes this very different from Microsoft, actually.

That’s the biggest problem I have with consoles. They’re essentially expensive boxes that are tied to a single service, in this case PSN.

You don’t like their store pricing, DRM or other policies? Yeah, well, unlucky. Sell your box and buy a different one (or don’t). Too expensive to play online on PSN? Well unlucky, because that’s the only way to play online. If it’s more expensive tomorrow, you better pay if you want online play or you’ll be locked out.

Xbox now locks out uncertified controllers, maybe PlayStation as well? Even their own previous controllers (DualShock 4) don’t support playing PS5 games on PS5, so if you want to play a 4 player couch coop game you better own 4 controllers specific to that one console. I get it, the new controller has some new features like “adaptive triggers” - but that’s entirely optional. Heck, you can play the PS5 games ported to PC with a DualShock 4 on a PC/Steam Deck.

Isn’t “little” even now unless you always buy day one.

What the…? If this bug is “unfixable” (lie), then just release an update that unlocks everything for free for everybody instead of screwing everyone who paid before 2024.

Not even first batch as far as this connector goes. This has been an issue ever since this connector was released on the 40 series cards in 2022.

The sensible thing would’ve been to just rollback to the standard 8-pin PCIe power connector that has been reliable for many years. I guess requiring 4 of these for 600 watts would highlight how ridiculous the power draw of the 5090 is.

Instead they made small iterations to this 12VHPWR connector (changing sense pin lengths and other small adjustments) and they’re letting their paying customers test the new iteration with the 50 series.

Admit that 12VHPWR is bullshit and revert to 8-pin. Come up with a working solution or just stick with 8-pin long-term.

If it starts at $499 or less and the specs are somewhere in the ballpark of what the rumors say then the iPhone 16 has very little reason to exist: same A18 SoC and 8 GB RAM, storage probably starts at the same 128 GB, OLED, same main camera, Face ID. So $300 more gets you an ultra-wide lens and a different display cutout (if even that)? Am I missing something?

Also, the upsell to the 16 Pro is suddenly quite steep.

This would/could be the best value iPhone since the original SE (2016).

Apparently, the inner screen will come in at 12 inches, suggesting it’s going to be larger than previously expected.

Okay but then the device would need to be at least iPad mini sized (depending on aspect ratio)? Unless it triple or quadruple folds. Probably a straight up wrong rumor.

I’m actually interested in a folding smartphone, ideally sized somewhere between a 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max, unfolding to something comparable to an iPad mini in screen real estate (aspect ratio would be hard to match though).

Main pain points with existing devices are durability, crease in the middle of the screen and weight, although we’re inching closer and closer to a more ideal device. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is something I’d almost want.

Thank you, will do!

Makes me wonder how many people are subscribed to Kagi without using it. Then why would you have a subscription in the first place?

Downvoted so I can have a six-to-eight figure salary at Kagi!

Makes me wonder if it’s faster than the USB 1.1 ports on the PS2. I used to load PS2 games from a USB drive but 1.1 speeds meant that some games had stuttering FMVs and some with texture/geometry streaming were more susceptible to pop-in.

I can’t imagine it’d be much better via memory card though, considering it was only ever intended for small savegames and for loading firmware updates (which is also what this memory card or rather FreeMcBoot exploits).

I used this primarily on a Palm (with Palm OS, not webOS).

I think it was v4 that introduced the view with the full desktop website zoomed out where you could then zoom in to an area.

Speculative execution seems to be the source of a lot of security flaws in many different CPUs. CPU manufacturers seem to be so focused on winning the performance race that security aware architecture design takes the backseat.

Also, it’s more and more clear that it’s a bad idea that websites can just execute arbitrary code. The JS APIs are way too powerful and complex nowadays. Maybe websites and apps should’ve stayed separate concepts instead of merging into “web apps”.

I also wonder if it’d be possible to design a CPU so vulnerabilities like these are fixable instead of just “mitigable”. Similar to how you can reprogram an FPGA. I have no clue how chip design works though, but please feel free to reply if you know more about this.

The researchers published a list of mitigations they believe will address the vulnerabilities allowing both the FLOP and SLAP attacks. They said that Apple officials have indicated privately to them that they plan to release patches.

So this’ll likely be mitigated soon, and while you’re probably right about the performance hit (which will likely be minor), I don’t think (most) Apple users need to be very worried about this.

Crawl a little further up Trump’s arse, Nvidia!

Not buying them for my next upgrade.

So then it’ll have native Linux Denuvo I guess…?
