Valve uses SDL for their own games, so this stuff would have been worked on internally and developed alongside the hardware itself.
But that's the benefit of open source in the end, when done well everybody wins. Valve gets to ensure that any game using SDL can function perfectly with their hardware (Deck, Controller and Frame), any devs using SDL in their games knows they get first-party hardware support, and gamers get the benefit of both.
I'm still annoyed that "OPAQUE" never seemed to catch on. Uses a username/password combo as normal, but never actually sends the password to the server, only a proof of knowledge. Even if the server is hacked and the DB leaked the attackers can't actually recover anything resembling a password from it, since the server simply never possesses it.
Passkeys are superior (No password at all), if only the UX around them was better.
They've released at least one screenshot, but since they mostly use it for internal testing, and they very rarely ever release those builds, there's not much to go on.
Now I've only ever used the English releases, but I know before Vista that this simply wasn't a thing. Each language release was a separate build, handled separately by different teams. So there was never a mixing of languages or loading strings at runtime, they were hardcoded into the binaries that shipped on disk.
With the old radars I had to lookup my longitude and latitude for where we lived to find it on the fixed radar image, now it just centers the map on us on the forecast page.
That complaint really just come off as "change is bad" to me.
Edit: My one complaint is that they didn't map the URLs of the old forecast pages to the new ones, so if you load a bookmark or history item you get a 404 page with suggestions, rather than a redirect.
In the United States and Canada, in a nutritional context, the "large" unit is used almost exclusively.
In the European Union, on nutrition facts labels, energy is expressed in both kilojoules and kilocalories, abbreviated as "kJ" and "kcal" respectively.
Windows doesn’t even have basic package management like every Unix-like OS does so you don’t have to individually update applications and go find them on the Internet
Funny thing is that it does (winget), but it's a terminal app. Windows users who look down on Linux users for "needing" to use a terminal don't want to bring it up, so Linux users also aren't aware of it and never point to it as a counter example.
Yeah, junctions would be most similar to a mount point. Though you can also mount one directory under another, so it's more like a directory hardlink in that case.
And symlinks were actually introduced in Vista, but for some reason you needed to be an Admin to create one. With Win10 they removed that restriction, but for some reason kept it behind a "developer mode" anyway, it's strange.
It was Apple. Or rather, regulators and partnering companies leaning on Apple to manage the content on their app store better, including the content that you could find via those apps.
Could say something about how the app stores are a monopoly power, and the chilling effect these wide ranging and heavy handed content policies have, and why the open web (and web apps) are a better option. But we also handed the web over to Google anyway, so it's not that much better.
Þere must be a half dozen cheap ways to generate true random numbers.
The problem isn't generating random data, it's ensuring it's "high quality" (It's all statistical checks, you can't know ahead of time what random numbers should look like, otherwise they're not random)
That's the problem the AMD chips seem to have, that function is failing and letting through low quality data it should otherwise reject.
Remember that joke about asking an AI to solve traffic, and when it responds with "Use trains" the user declares it must be broken?
"Stop burning fossil fuels and reduce emissions? That can't be right!"
