  • It is a huge failure in communication to pretend that distro upgrades are entirely different versions of the operating system. It does nothing but make Linux seem more complex than it actually is.

  • Pay what?

    Mac hasn't charged for an OS in ages, and Windows has given "free upgrades" for several version because they're stealing more data and want people to switch.

  • I tried, I really did

  • They've been designed for nvidia because cuda is better.

    And because nvidia has been pushing hardware features needed for AI way before AMD has even considered it for ages.

  • They don't need to make it impossible to do anything else. They just need to make their shitty proprietary solution the lowest friction.

  • It could just be that windows is obnoxious and likes to do its best to break shit, and they don't want to deal with helping people figure out how to repair it in limited dev time.

  • Because they want control.

  • Stop using gitlab.com for projects - Credit card info required for new registrations

  • It's disgusting.

    It should be illegal to require any personal information unless you can prove that it's literally impossible to provide your service without it, and always illegal to share that information with anyone (but a payment provider exclusively for verification purposes) for any reason.

  • Apple Vision Pro Owners Are Struggling to Figure Out What They Just Bought

  • When that lifespan is at the cost of meaningful extra bulk you have to carry around, there are plenty.

    It's not saving them money. It's because being required to carry a giant battery no matter what you want to do is a significantly worse product.

  • Don't buy it if you don't want AR.

    But it's beyond idiotic to trash the first device on the market actually capable of functional AR because you personally don't care about the tech people have been waiting decades for.

  • Sony is erasing digital libraries that were supposed to be accessible “forever”

    Jump

  • Nintendo's drives are tiny, capacity wise. And expensive enough that publishers won't pay for the "high capacity" (that's still not big enough for games anywhere except the switch, due to how low res assets are) ones.

  • You can have different libraries and only share some of them with others.

  • A "decent battery" is bigger and more weight to carry around that plenty of use cases don't want or benefit from. It's not small for cost reasons. It's because it's a worse device if you force it to be huge.

    The price is high, but only if you ignore how much tech is in it. A lesser but close dumb display from anyone else is thousands in its own.

  • The design makes perfect sense. You can trivially add an additional pack with capacity if that's your use case. The included pack does the power management and has enough for plenty of people without being in the way, and it's as simple as plugging in any source of USC-C power at appropriate specs to extend it.

  • So I asked, and you can't do captures to use for the backgrounds with the headset (I'm guessing they use better equipment and maybe some processing), but it does do "spatial photos and video". That was part of the demo in the store and they're really impressive. The 15 pro can also capture a 3D video that still looks cool, but has noticeably less depth than the captures with the headset.

    I'm not sure the exact technical details, but there are a whole bunch of cameras and other sensors. I'm assuming it uses all of them combined to capture the 3D photos. But there was a lot of depth in the version I saw in the demo.

  • I want it like crazy. No chance I'll wear it in public after I pull the trigger.

    I probably would throw it in my backpack on hikes to do some captures of stuff like waterfalls and nice mountain views. They're really nice and not something you can do with my regular camera.

  • Maintaining another account is maintaining another account.

    It absolutely is meaningful friction, and it absolutely is a perfectly valid reason not to engage.

  • Plex for books?

    Jump

  • On kindle, if you tap the middle of the screen, then click the little Aa up top, you get formatting options. On reflowable formats, you can go to the more tab and uncheck the animation button. On ones that are fixed pages, it should be one of the only options.

  • Same, have a boox, getting a second boox, and really wish I had a better option to track location across devices. KOReader is a nice reader experience, but browsing books sucks. I use a blend of moon reader and the built in app depending on my mood, but neither feels as good as maple reader on my iPad, and nothing I've found can really sync my location.

  • They're the exact same thing. There is no distinction that can theoretically be made.

    The reason projects are choosing GitHub over alternatives is because they know, with certainty, that they will get far less interaction with their project anywhere else.
