Yup. If anything, they should add a second USB-C connector. Much more versatile and you can still charge your phone if one of them dies.
These flaky, but simultaneously bulky headphone connectors need to die. They’re inferior in pretty much every way imaginable.
Yeah, I don’t think I make that many that wrong purchases, although that doesn’t mean that a lot of games I enjoy end up unfinished due to limited time. When it comes to testing games, one thing that’s neat is that demos got a huge revival in the last few years, particularly due to Steam Next Fest.
Looking at the current line-up, I’ll say that right I’d probably come to a different conclusion, seeing as Blue Prince, South of Midnight and the new DOOM are all included. Then again, I use Linux, so I wouldn’t be able to use Game Pass even if I wanted to.
A bit tangential, but I also feel a lot of people make the same mistake with GamePass. I buy a lot of gameson release day (mostly indies, but also some AAA), so theoretically I should be the target audience for GamePass, but I did the math once for a three-month period and came out at a loss if I had bought GamePass.
Based on nothing but anecdotal evidence, the type of person to get GamePass also typically enjoys a lesser variety of games on average, making the cost/benefit ratio even worse.
Eh, while I agree that some recommendations are dodgy at best, I’ll argue that Wireguard is not only adding to security, it also makes Fail2Ban obsolete. Due to the way it works, you’ll completely hide the fact that you’re even running a SSH server at all, and this includes even Wireguard itself. More importantly though, it’s pretty much impossible to set up Wireguard in an insecure way, whereas SSH provides you with plenty of footguns. You’re not risking locking yourself out either.
Also, security comes in layers.
Exactly. No root login and no password login will do just fine as basic measures, but after that Wireguard is perfect tool for this, no weird rituals required and also quite useful for any other services you don’t want and/or need to expose to the internet as well.
Probably not the Steam Deck successor alone, but the PC handheld ecosystem as a whole might be able to get there at some point (preferably mostly running Linux).
Though it’s kind of insane how much progress was already made over one generation: It went from a Kickstarter grift (Smach-Z), to the Steam Deck, to multiple competitors already.
Physical media, digital media, it doesn’t matter. They don’t help the preservation of games. What really matters is DRM-free media.
Considering that this mutation seems to be caused by a chunk of missing DNA, as the article suggests, that’s actually quite fitting.
Yup. Those 64 GB SSDs many retailers put into cheap laptops already come dangerously close to violating the Geneva Convention. 8GB is just stupid, even for a Linux system.
I’d be wary of that fork. It’s run by a former Thunderbird dev that got banned for his toxic attitude and hasn’t really improved since. Just take a look at the projects website. Being so unrespectful towards your upstream project should have no place in open-source.
And they switched to a resolution one that can’t even Integer-scale, and, even worse, isn’t even the correct aspect ratio.
Personally, I’ve seen a few people doing similar things, and to me it’s always an indicator that the person needs to get their eyes checked. Any person with good eye sight or well adjusted glasses should immediately notice that the text actually becomes blurrier and harder to read despite the increased text size.
It’s so weird. I can kind of understand this level of ignorance on other platforms, but here? The platform a majority of the people actively sought out because they saw what happens when a walled gardens starts turning against its users?
At the very least, I would’ve expected better arguments than “I don’t want this, so I oppose other’s from having that option.”
Yup. Even assuming this would actually work as advertised, who would actually buy this over a regular printer?
Like, how often do you run into a situation where you need something 3D-printed while on the go, but simultaneously have enough free time to set this thing up in a protected area and wait a long time for the print to finish? Not to mention that you just happen to have brought with you the proper filament as well.
Furthermore, this thing…:
Not sure what you’re seeing there. The Bedrock edition is also available on PC and the rest is a direct quote for the reasoning why that version gets it before the Java version.
It’s not like they’re forbidden from acknowledging the existence of other devices either. It’s just not their target audience.
In the README there’s also instructions for Docker Compose, although it’s quite the compose file, with SIXTEEN containers defined. Not something I’d want to self-host.
Oof. I’m already put off when I see a compose file that has more than like 3 containers, but that one really takes the cake. Two message brokers, two proxys, three webservers, two daemons and another handful of other containers? That’s, indeed, truly insane.
Just because it’s now easy to deploy giant stacks of server software doesn’t mean you should.
Not necessarily. A good architecture could allow for crossplay between different kinds of accounts. They’re just taking the easy way out.
I just run some self hosted servers. I most definitely run more than ten services, not few of the consisting of multiple containers. With this change I’d basically hit the limit every time I do maintenance and pull the latest versions of all the images I run.
Yup. I hate to admit it, but the only reason why I’m currently running a custom firmware again is because my current banking app plays well with GrapheneOS. Otherwise I’d probably not bother. Being able to use a banking app is just too convenient (for me personally).
For basic gaming the experience should be at the very least about equal for all GPU vendors right now. If you want anything fancy beyond that, like HDR or properly paced and multi-monitor VRR then Wayland is the only way to even have a chance of it working.
