  • Reminder: Apple gets up to 30% of subscriptions set up in any iPhone app! It's a huge tax on the European economy. 💡 Tip: Cancel and resubscribe on the app's website.

  • Wrong, Apple does not provide any additional features besides taking a cut.

    I do think 30% is a lot, but this is absolutely wrong.

    Steam, on the other hand, allows: cloud saves, family sharing, media library, big picture, controller support, Linux support, achievements, community, friends, groups, store with tag search, advanced review features, inventory, couch coop over internet, and fuckton of stuff.

    Compare this to the APIs and features Apple provides such as iCloud storage, family sharing, media library (both photos/videos and music, separate APIs), AirPlay, controller support, Game Center achievements and leaderboards, integration with iMessage, two whole game engines to build off of, AR API that’s used even by cross platform AR apps like Pokemon Go, a ton of UI/UX tools, and tons of other stuff you need to make an app.

  • They wanted 3 documents. There was a typo in the copy of my lease I was able to get (previous year) so I couldn’t use that. I was sharing a phone plan and it was under someone else’s name. Electricity and internet were included in rent.

  • Most of what you mentioned here just requires an SSN or TIN which is easier to get than a drivers license or Real ID.

  • It’s not that easy to get a Real ID. I struggled to get one because I’ve been moving a lot lately and they require a bunch of documents pointing to the same residential address. I was only able to get one after I settled down long enough to meet that requirement.

  • Synapse is the epitome of this

  • I’ve used multiprocessing to squeeze more performance out of numpy and scipy. But yeah, resorting to multiprocessing is a sign that you should be dropping into something like Rust or a C variant.

  • You can run your own LLM chatbot with https://ollama.com/

    They have some really small ones that only require like 1GB of VRAM, but you’ll generally get better results if you pick the biggest model that fits on your GPU.

  • There really is no competitor to Google Drive’s online collaborative document and slideshow editing right now. Apple and Microsoft have made some weak attempts but until their software works fully in a browser and is 100% free to get started, it won’t catch on. It not just about email.

  • What really is going on in the US right now? Is this worse than the first term? Why're legal people being kicked out? When is it time to really consider leave?

  • His first term also started with restrictions on legal immigrants. But it’s much, much, much worse this time around.

  • Are there really only a few New 3DS exclusive games?

  • Ah good to know! I think I avoided picking it up before because I thought it required the New 3DS. I’ll look for it at my local game store next time I visit.

  • I didn’t really understand the benefit of HDR until I got a monitor that actually supports it.

    And I don’t mean simply can process the 10-bit color values, I mean has a peak brightness of at least 1000 nits.

    That’s how they trick you. They make cheap monitors that can process the HDR signal and so have an “HDR” mode, and your computer will output an HDR signal, but at best it’s not really different from the non-HDR mode because the monitor can’t physically produce a high dynamic range image.

    If you actually want to see an HDR difference, you need to get something like a 1000-nit OLED monitor (note that “LED” often just refers to an LCD monitor with an LED backlight). Something like one of these: https://www.displayninja.com/best-oled-monitor/

    These aren’t cheap. I don’t think I’ve seen one for less than maybe $700. That’s how much it costs unfortunately. I wouldn’t trust a monitor that claims to be HDR for $300.

    When you display an HDR signal on a non-HDR display, there are basically two ways to go about it: either you scale the peak brightness to fit within the display’s capabilities (resulting in a dark image like in OP’s example), or you let the peak brightness max out at the screen’s maximum (kinda “more correct” but may result in parts of the image looking “washed out”).
