25 year old booze is typically quite expensive. But he wouldn’t touch the 30 year old stuff.

scutiger,

Intel introduced a new graphics driver update containing optimizations for PC games, with a DX11 title receiving a 750% improvement

Notice it says “a DX11 title,” and that title is Halo: The Master Chief Collection. That is to say that the game likely used to perform very very poorly, and now performs acceptably.

scutiger,

They gave it a fantastic ending at the end of the last season, and they should have just let it die there.

scutiger,

And that implies no resting, no stopping for pee breaks or lunch, no sleep, etc.

scutiger,

Eventually, it would wrap onto a second line, wouldn’t it?

scutiger,

Have you tried enabling gyro aiming? It makes a pretty big difference in FPS games for the smaller movements that are hard to get with a joystick.

scutiger,

Checkout protondb.com search for anything. Chances are just about any game you might want to play will run on the Steam Deck. Games that outright don’t work are few and far between. The exception is competitive games with invasive (often kernel-level) anti-cheat measures.

scutiger,

You thinking Billy Butcher in space?

scutiger,

I’ve heard of that, but either none of my games have this coating, or I’m somehow immune to the taste of it.

scutiger,

Maybe there’s someone at the factory licking the cardtridges before sealing the boxes, and I just happen to be getting the pre-licked ones.

scutiger,

I haven’t played much of the arcade version of Contra, but on the NES version, the S can actually shoot faster. There’s a limit to the bullets you can have on screen, so if you mash the button fast enough, you get to shoot again as soon as a bullet leaves the screen. If there’s nothing to stop your bullets before the hit the edge of the screen, you’ll end up with a line of bullets in front and a spread of 3 bullets. If there are any obstacles that stop your bullets early, eventually, you just end up with a stream of bullets in a straight line in front of you with no more spread.

The laser only does 4 hits per beam, but you can only have one beam on screen at a time, and if you fire again before it hits, it just disappears before firing the new shot.

Lacto-saccharine sounds better

It’s McDonald’s, nothing’s fresh.

scutiger,

Hue is a city in Vietnam. It’s where bun bo hue comes from.

scutiger,

You can use a larger fan and a shroud to redirect the air flow, similar to how laptops are cooled.

scutiger,

I just meant you can have an internal fan that’s larger than your heatsink, and a shroud to direct the airflow to it. It requires less vertical space, but more horizontal space.

scutiger,

Ah, the Estevez brothers!

scutiger,

They’re going to get sued by all the developers who already put out games with the existing license that Unity is trying to unilaterally change the terms of. They’re trying to charge money for installs on games that are already published and already sold.

scutiger,

How many words have four z’s?

scutiger,

This isn’t really unique. This is what you see when you walk to it, 50 meters from the parking lot.

It’s a great shot though, the lighting is fantastic.

scutiger,

Fuck yeah! Just like last year!

scutiger,

Can we finally get Steam on TempleOS?

scutiger,

For all the stupid shit that Elon Musk has said and done over the years, at least his quote at the end of this article makes sense:

This is bizarre. They want us to pay them for traffic to their site where they make advertising revenue and we don’t!?

Back in the old days of the internet, you would have to pay the bigger sites to have them link back to your site. Now the government decides that it should be the other way around. It was a stupid law from the start, and now they’re finding out why.

scutiger,

I don’t think anybody really cares about an extra half millimetre of thickness, especially if it means that you can save hundreds in replacement costs and extend its life by a few years. Nobody’s buying an iPhone and busting out the calipers to compare it to their previous phone.

scutiger,

There are so many things a company can change about a phone besides its thickness.

If the ideal setup is many medium sized instances rather than a few huge ones, wouldn't that mean users would need to subscribe to duplicate communities in all of those instances?

Otherwise, if we have a lot of medium sized instances but the most popular communities are hosted on just a few huge instances, doesn’t that defeat the purpose of distributing load across many instances?...

scutiger,

Y’all are coming here trying to turn Lemmy into Reddit.

scutiger,

The burner has two zones. A small one in the middle, and a wider ring around. If you turn to the left, you only turn the middle part on from High to low, and if you turn right, you turn both on from low to high.

scutiger,

If you’ve read the article, they mention that nobody has seen the final branding yet. The logo we see now is not what they’re using to sell the product.

He’s also had other projects like a free Pantone competitor that he’s defended successfully. Apparently he knows what he’s doing.

scutiger,

yeet cap rn

It’s right there!

scutiger,

Oh no! Hurt Apple’s bottom line for the benefit of the environment? Won’t somebody thing of the poor, poor multinational megacorp?

scutiger,

The model I’m trying to print is a figure. The legs have an outer wall with infill, and then another inner wall with no infill but supports. Same for the chest area. This is what it looks like in Cura

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/062f823e-4c58-4c32-a468-c5425f1d49d3.png

scutiger,

It’s not the supports that are the problem, it’s the second wall inside. The red walls are the outer walls, and the green ones are the inner walls. There’s an outer wall on the inside of the inner walls. Basically the part with the tree support in the middle is considered outside by the slicer. Instead of having a second set of walls plus tree supports, there should just be infill.

scutiger,

It’s not “unrooting” it’s just preventing your OS from being replaced. It’s an easy change for anyone with physical access to the device who can get past the lock screen, but can’t be done by accident. So you won’t be accidentally installing malicious software that will reinstall your OS, for example.

The unlock/lock and install can be done through a website, but it requires your phone to be plugged in to a computer, and you can enable/disable unlocking through the developer menu in the phone’s settings.

scutiger,

“Noise from pirates” is bullshit. Pirates generally tend to have a better experience with their media than legal users.

Privacy with Google's Gboard (lemm.ee)

The only app I can’t live without. Except for gboard, all of my applications are Foss. There is no competition for gboard’s swipe typing, not to mention its many capabilities like as searching for gifs, stickers, being able to paste copied images, translating, and so on. I’d like to know how I can use gboard while...

scutiger,

If you’re on GrapheneOS, you get the option to block an app’s network access when you install it. So you can use whatever keyboard you want and it can’t call home.

scutiger,

Pancakes are made from batter while pizza is made from dough. Rather, I would say that KFC is just deep-fried pancakes.

not seeing any non negligible difference between 60 and 120 Hz, am I weird?

Just got a new phone (OnePlus Nord 3), turned refresh rate HUD in developer settings and I see some parts of the system and some apps display 120 Hz but I have problem noticing any difference, same with my wife’s Redmi Note 12, i have to look very carefully and maaaybe I notice some different, not sure

scutiger,

Higher refresh rates make a bigger difference when physically larger portions of the screen are changing at once, and when there’s fast movement on the screen. That’s why it has a more noticeable effect on FPS games, where the entire screen changes when you move the mouse, and when you want to quickly move your aim to specific points. It’s much more noticeable on a large display than it is on a phone screen, for example.

scutiger,

This is with one of the included test files. I even followed the set up video that goes through the leveling process. I haven’t touched anything else outside of the printer itself and the included SD card.

If I manually start the ABL process from the settings menu, it completes it fine. But when I try to start printing, it just does it again and again and gives me an error if I stop it.

scutiger,

A good DM wouldn’t stop you from attempting stupid plots. They’d just let you suffer the consequences of your actions.
