Ugh annoying headline. “Buttonless” implies the buttons are disappearing, like the home button. The articles says they might be using “solid state buttons” which, I think, are a bit like the Macbook trackpads, there’s no real button but it still acts and responds just like a trackpad button.
The lock and volume buttons likely will still be there, just won’t physically move, and use haptic feedback instead.
Same here, been collecting since the iPod Mini days, 18,000+ songs and 100gb+ of data (almost all mp3 though)
Serve them up with Airsonic and i’ve got my own streaming music service i can use anywhere.
It doesn’t. If a PC is so infected you can’t change simple settings like search engine, it’s time to reformat.
Agreed. If you’re a device maker and you haven’t considered the possibility of your users plugging in their devices for long periods of time in your design, then i feel that’s on you to improve your product.
Does anyone else remember growing up being told “watch what you put on the internet! it’ll be there forever!” Now it seems more and more like things out on the internet won’t be there forever unless someone specifically wants it to. I seem to having a harder and harder time digging up parts of the internet i remember from my childhood, the old parts are slowly being erased by entropy and lack of desire to keep them there.
Did you play it? If so, fair enough, but if not you’re missing out in my opinion. When it was announced i never believed i’d ever question whether a sequel could top the story told by the original, how could it? Playing through it a second time i do have that question now, it’s that good.
Interesting, i feel somewhat the opposite. i do camera repairs on film cameras, and having the exploded diagrams and manufacturers service guide is great, but a video of someone doing a full disassembly and reassembly is generally much more helpful in that context and allows me to scrub through the video to the parts i need for my repair.
Dying Light is great, but there is an old little-known Ubisoft game that i love called I Am Alive which is like a parkour horror/survival game. It’s not very long and some of its mechanics are repetitive and boring, but the core gameplay is really cool and not something that was replicated anywhere else. If you can find it cheap, it’s worth the few hours it takes to go through.
It may not be de jure open source, but if the code is posted publicly on the internet in a way that anyone can download and modify it, it sort of becomes de facto open source (or “source available” if you prefer).
