  • I’ll replace my iPhone when it breaks. That’s what I did last time 4 years ago

  • At least be accurate.

    The “Pro” model iPhone has a lot of the features you are calling out the non-pro one for not having. Also no non-proprietary lossless audio streaming would be more accurate.

  • Is there an addon that will load the entire page ?

    Jump

  • That’s probably rather difficult because these websites are essentially computer programs that are rendering their content live. It’s like if you got an phone app to detect when another phone app is viewing something that looks like a book or document, and to then automatically make a paginated PDF of that app…

  • That would fall under “nonvisual” (meaning not light-based) perception.

  • Vectors Part 2

    Jump

  • A vector space is when you can:

    • add two Things
    • multiply a Thing by any real number

    And get another Thing that’s the same Kind of Thing.

    By Thing I mean Vector and by Kind of Thing I mean element of the same Vector Space.

    Examples of vector spaces:

    • real numbers
    • complex numbers
    • sets of N numbers (what most people think of when they hear “vector”)
    • matrices
    • polynomials
    • functions
    • quantum states of a given system
    • quantities of apples sold, classified by type of apple

    Examples of Not Vector Spaces:

    • integers
    • negative numbers
    • nonzero numbers
    • unitary matrices
    • apples

    Yeah a few of these come with asterisks I’m happy to answer questions but don’t want to argue with pedants.

  • Some basic info about USB

    Jump

  • Almost everything about it needs to be optional because sometimes USB is used to charge some cheap battery powered thing and sometimes it’s used to make a backup of a harddrive and sometimes it’s charging my laptop with enough power for it to be rendering video but still have a net charge increase to the battery while also providing Ethernet, video output, and keyboard/mouse input over the same one port.

    EDIT to make it more clear why the variability of USB standards is what it is, compare a modern laptop to one from 10 years ago.

    The older laptop has:

    • for video, an HDMI port (or the less common mini HDMI port), and perhaps a mini DP port
    • an Ethernet port
    • a charging plug
    • possibly some FireWire ports (may or may not be the same as the mini DP port)
    • USB A ports for keyboard/mouse and other random devices

    The newer laptop has:

    • USBC ports that can do all of the above

    The perhiperals, however, don’t support all of the features. They only support the features they actually use. As long as the laptop supports all of the optional features, you don’t need to worry about it.

    The is especially helpful for less technical users who may not want to know what the difference between HDMI and DisplayPort is. With a fully USBC based laptop and USBC perhipals you can just plug it in and it will work.

    Of course this is all dependent on the laptop implementing all of the extra features, which is still only really true of more expensive laptops.

  • The Pixel 9 Pro Fold perfectly highlights the big foldable problem – nothing is 'right' yet

    Jump

  • Just make it a Nintendo DS style: two separate screens with a hinge in between. They can make the gap caused by the hinge fairly small.

  • Student dorm does not allow wifi routers

    Jump

  • You don’t actually need internet for the VR streaming part, so you could just set up a router not plugged into the wall

  • Seriously.

  • Xubuntu is more than fine. Tbh it doesn’t hugely matter which distro you use for this type of thing

  • Nintendo Just Dropped A Bunch Of New Details About Mario & Luigi: Brothership

    Jump

  • What I could gather:

    • both items and bro attacks (the bro attacks seem to be short and quick, the items seem to be longer)
    • something about combining basic attacks into “combination attacks” but they didn’t have a clip of this

  • Chat GPT appears to hallucinate or outright lie about everything

  • It’s actually not really wrong. There are many VR games you can get away with low specs for.

    Yes when you suggested a 3070 it just took that and rolled with it.

    It’s basically advanced autocomplete, so when you suggest a 3070 it thinks the best answer should probably use a 3070. It’s not good at knowing when to say “no”.

    Interesting it did know to come up with a newer AMD card to match the 3070, as well as increasing the other specs to more modern values.

  • Baldur's Gate 3 publishing director says "almost all games should cost more at a base level" because they cost so much to make

    Jump

  • Not all games are like that. BG3 is an example of a game that isn’t like that.

  • Recommendation engine: Downvote any game you've heard of before

  • Sanctum (and its sequel Sanctum 2)

    It’s a tower defense where you also have guns and go fight alongside your towers as a first person shooter.

    Both Sanctum and Sanctum 2 are worth playing and have slightly different vibes. Sanctum 1 is simpler while Sanctum 2 has more complex build crafting. Also Sanctum uses a square grid while Sanctum 2 uses a hexagonal grid, and Sanctum 2 has some tweaked enemy mechanics, including enemies that target destroy the towers or killing the players over just going for the core. I think Sanctum 2 tries to make the player feel more important instead of the towers being the main focus.

  • Honestly if you buy a Mac give macOS a try. It’s Unix based so you’ll feel at home in the command line. It doesn’t come with a command line package manager but there are two popular ones you can install (homebrew and macports).
