  • Nintendo had its own internal “social media” to streamline the massive workload during Tears of the Kingdom’s development

    Jump

  • So to make development faster and make sure they didn't waste time, they spent their time reinventing slack/teams/SharePoint/etc.

    It sounds like if Nintendo were a person, they'd have ADHD. This also explains how for every generation, their flagship console looks like a completely new thing. They're just getting understimulated and bored.

  • My partner and I got invited to a wedding with a funky, everything-goes sort of dress code. For £50 we bought enough clothes for two blade-runner-esque outfits (we added some bits of our own so the ensemble wouldn't look too cheap) and a big goose plushie (bigger than an individual pillow). The goose was £14 and not cheaply made at all! That one was genuinely a nice suprise.

  • Porsche tenía miles de baterías gastadas del Taycan. Las ha convertido en una pila gigante para una de sus fábricas

    Jump

  • Usadas, no gastadas. El artículo omite que eran de modelos de pre-producción que Porsche no podía vender, así que prácticamente nuevas.

    El Taycan como modelo tiene apenas 5 años. Si hay Taycan con baterías "gastadas" es alguna unidad puntual que ha salido defectuosa.

    Xataka ya podía molestarse en leer bien el artículo del que copiapegan la información antes de soltar cosas así en el titular.

  • This sounds exclusively like the insurers' problem.

  • The reason is better is because a number on its own doesn't provide any representation whatsoever of the passing of time. It represents the current observed time, but it does nothing to represent graphically how much of the day is left.

    The arguably best representation of the passing of time is a 24h analogue watch/clock, even if that has its own set of issues which make it a terrible way of displaying the current time.

  • Zen Z

    Jump

  • Absolutely not comparable to floppy disks. The hands are a representation, not a technology. Technology-wise, most modern "analog" wristwatches are quartz, and therefore digital, not actually analog. Yet we choose to make them with hands because that provides a better representation of the passing of time.

  • Self-driving Waymo cars keep SF residents awake all night by honking at each other

    Jump

  • Re: security: I imagine many women being more comfortable getting a waymo than an Uber/Taxi. It's anecdotal and from a different country, but most of my female family/friends have had an uncomfortable interaction in a taxi, like unrequested sexual advances or things like that.

  • What's your job?

    Jump

  • Same, more or less. I work with self driving cars, in software integration (for people not familiar, that is putting together the software components other teams make, and solving the interactions between them).

    It's supremely fun. Constantly changing, chaotic, requires me to see the whole picture and never keep detailed focus on a specific part for very long. I love it.

  • Terraglide Is a Presidential Chair With Wheels and an Electric Kick: Will It Replace Cars?

    Jump

  • I have no idea what this solves. You get wet and have to pedal like in a bike, but it's big and cumbersome like a car?

  • Struggling to set life into motion

    Jump

  • For those two examples, I'd either keep looking or lower the requirements if I believe it's absolutely impossible - it all depends on the time constraints.

    If I have 8 months more to look for a job, I won't care / lower my expectations. If I need a job now, I'll find whatever and look for a better job in the meantime.

    On the vacation example, I would keep trying to find a place where I want to stay until I'm actually pressed for time - then I'd look for a place further away or lower the requirements.

    Sometimes trying harder works, but the times it doesn't, it's more valuable to find something not-so-nice and settle than to keep stressing and trying to find something impossibly good, without achieving anything.

  • Improvisers unite ✊

    I have accepted I can plan about 20% and the rest will have to be solved on the fly. The world is confusing. There are too many things happening at once for anyone (definitely at least for myself!) to keep track of everything. My goal when planning is not to set out exactly what I'm going to do, but rather to reduce uncertainty and gather information to improvise effectively if needed.

  • Google Play services updates for Android Lollipop end

    It wasn't until my Xiaomi Mi 8 that I could use my phone without babysitting wakelocks. My nexus 6P still had them, and the consequences were quite annoying thanks to the SD810...

  • Microsoft is reportedly banning Palestinians in the U.S. for life for calling relatives in Gaza

    Jump

  • The problem I have is that this covers a very niche use case for me. I want it to be a tablet - lightweight etc, but not be constrained by mobile apps. I don't want iOS' version of lightroom, I want to have Darktable and Rawtherapee and a full fledged Visual Studio code, and well, you get the picture.

    I don't need a laptop because I also have a MacBook Pro - I went this way because Apple's processors are too far ahead to ignore. So I can take AMD but my opinion is that intel's offerings are just not competitive and I'm not buying any of them.

    This leaves me with very few options - I'd be keen on buying an AMD-powered Ubuntu tablet but they don't seem to exist.

    And also my surface works perfectly fine, so spending a non-trivial amount of money and ewaste just to change OS seems rather silly. I'm sticking to that one for now.

  • That's a nice project, but the last update was from 2 years ago and it needs way too much work to be close to usable. Windows 11 might be getting ads but at least audio works...

    To be Done:

     
            Support for Audio Subsystem #21
    Support for LTE/Modem #22
    Support for Webcams #23
    Support for External Display Ports #27
    Support for Suspend #29
    Support for TrEE Services #37
    Support for Sensors #38
    Support for GNSS/GPS #39
    UEFI ResetSystem() crashes #41

    Various other issues can be expected, see the issue tracker for details.

  • If only I could install it on the Surface Pro X...

    Damn, they worked so hard to gain goodwill in the last few years and it seems they've set out to destroy it in record time.

    WSL and WSL2, Android Apps, working with Qualcomm to get their ARM computers to a credible state, the new Powershell and the push to open source so many things...

    And in the past 12-18 months they've been crashing and burning, either backtracking on those things or by starting new initiatives to become scummier and scummier. TPM, Copilot, the ad situation, abusing their position of power with office/teams, the giant safety holes in the Recall feature... But it seems every day there's something new in the news. It's never ending.

  • Take a train instead of a flight. Cycle to work or take public transport instead of driving. Install a heat pump or solar in your house. There are a million things people can do to cut down their emissions that can be as effective as becoming herbivores, depending on each one's personal situation.

    Plus, I don't have the numbers in my head but I'm pretty sure a locally grown fillet of chicken is more environmentally friendly than an avocado that has travelled across the Atlantic, so "buy local" would be probably better advice.

  • Maybe we need to rethink economics in a way they don't require an endless growth of the population like we're a cancer to the earth. Maybe Bezos could pay a bit more than 1.1% in taxes, an extra 1% would free a cool couple of billion for retirement. And so could Musk, and same with the companies, a bit from Amazon, a bit from Microsoft, and the rest of S&P500...

    I'm all for a bit of population decline. The system needs to crash to get rebalanced.
