Plenty of time for Adobe to pile on a couple more sins, thereby extending the video by another two hours.

“It’s open source, you can review the code” has become one of the most annoying thought-terminating clichés. Sure, we could:

• Parse the code that the owner likely doesn’t fully understand
• Figure out the application logic that the owner also likely doesn’t understand
• Check the logic for anything that might cause unwanted side-effects
• Check the logic for malware behaviour
• Run tests (and review the test code because it’s also likely vibe coded)
• Pray and beg that everything works
• Repeat every time the software needs to be updated

Or we could warn others that the owner couldn’t be assed to either write the code or review what some LLM farted out, and that neither they nor their code should be trusted.

It’s gas station weed. It’s a drink from a stranger at a night club who swears there’s nothing in it.

As long as you’ve done the original Deimos open world stuff, you can just follow the main story to unlock gameplay systems.

Pablo has been cooking for the last couple of years. Most of the bad warframes received considerable buffs or reworks, and most of them will serve you well until the late-game missions (with the exception of Loki, Limbo, and Nekros; they’re pretty much useless now). Arcanes are even more busted than before. There are legitimate builds that don’t equip Energize. Melee Influence is the reigning king of melee arcanes. You can slap a basic electric status build on literally any melee weapon and have something that can take you to level cap.

Also, Stalker had a girlfriend and they’ve fucked.

The Switch port is handled by Panic Button, the same studio that developed the Doom 2016 port. It’s impressive work considering the hardware limitations, but the introduction of cross-platform play made the gap between it and other platforms impossible to ignore.

Warframe’s multiplayer sessions are hosted by the players, and you can feel when the game is hosted on a Switch. The ping is consistent around 300 ms (which is not good, but about average for the EU region), but every action will have a second of latency and the enemies will constantly rubber-band around.

Look, RAM is expensive and maintaining Outside is getting difficult, so we had to LOD very aggressively. Isn’t this the “optimization” that Gamers are always talking about?

CUPS didn’t work for me as I can’t see an upload option on the web UI.

And you won’t. For the purpose of printing, CUPS is a print server, not a web front-end. It facilitates communication between client devices and downstream printers through a unified open protocol that isn’t manufacturer-dependent.

Printing is implemented through IPP, which is an HTTP-based protocol. You have to add the URL of the printer as it appears on the web UI (e.g. https://print.mydomain.net/printers/PRINTER_NAME) as a printer in the client device’s printer manager. It’s plug-and-play on Linux and Mac, and needs a driver (even if it’s the generic PostScript driver) on Windows.

“It implements client-side decorations, or it gets the hose again!”

GNOME’s design philosophy is “we’ve determined that nobody needs this feature”.

KDE’s is “we’ve determined that nobody needs this feature… but it would be really cool, fuck it, we ball cube”.

Now all I need is a way to remotely start a headless session and I can finally nuke X11 off my computer.

Do you want regulatory overreach? Imagine forcing every small project or self-hoster to adhere to the rules set by the equivalent of the HDMI Forum, but controlled by the likes of Microsoft and Facebook.

To redirect your other question: you should ask the web developers. If they’re honest, you’ll get a dozen legitimate answers that can’t be solved without locally running code. A chat web app, for example, needs to either poll the server at a given rate, or use a WebSocket to fetch incoming messages, both of which require Javascript. Then it needs to modify the DOM to display the new messages, which again requires Javascript. If it needs access to the microphone or webcam, it has to use some kind of local interface. I could go on. The point is, a lot of this arbitrary local code exists because there’s no other way to implement many features without it. Imagine having to reload an instant messaging app if you want to see if you’ve received anything. It would be like writing a GUI application using Qt or GTK, but without using any events.

Most websites would break, or not even display, without javascript. Sure, it’s bonkers for you, but an alternative browser that can’t immediately show a website that works perfectly well in Chrome wouldn’t get much of a user base.

It’s open-source, written in Rust, and has plugins from Stardew Valley to Ultrakill.

Any electrician worth the name should be able to read both ANSI and IEC diagrams. Besides, 60617 was never formally adopted as a replacement for ANSI conventions. I live in an area where the customary symbols are a variant of IEC, but ANSI is still widely used in the electronics industry.

Smaller axial lead resistors mark their resistance values using colored bands. Three or four bands grouped together, towards one end of the device, mark the nominal resistance. If there are three bands, the first two represent the tens and ones (A, B). If there are four bands, the first three represent the hundreds, tens, and ones (A, B, C). The final band is the multiplier or magnitude (M).

For example, the three-band code of yellow-purple-red represents a nominal resistance of 4.7 kiloohms. The first yellow band is 4 × 10, the second purple band is 7, and the third red band is a multiplier of 100: (4 * 10 + 7) * 100 == 47 * 100 == 4700.

An optional band, painted on the other end of the device, marks the accuracy or tolerance in percents. If there is no such band, assume a tolerance of 20%.

I recently switched to CachyOS. While I don’t have the same hard-on for it that most users seem to have, I like how it’s set up by default to create a btrfs snapshot of the root filesystem before and after each update. Grub can even boot into individual snapshots directly. I’m almost looking forward to the day it saves my ass after an update breaks my system.

Delays expected as radio traffic devolves into immature giggles whenever a flight into Pensacola (PNS) or Charlotte (CLT) is spotted.

Sometimes not even money. Microslop was left holding the bag when they jacked up the price of Gamepass and suddenly it became unaffordable for a lot of customers, and spent billions on a lemon. Sony is actively alienating their supporters, rejecting their largest market, and going all-in on a game that can’t even reach five thousand daily concurrent players on Steam because they’ve also already spent billions on a lemon. Bad calls and sunk costs all around.

I didn’t mean that in a very positive way.

I know there’s a post-hoc artistique justification where Alan is a hack writer and everything in the dark place is only as good as his imagination… but a poorly made game is still a poorly made game, and trying to shove half of a Max Payne action shooter into an Alan Wake game is just asking for disappointment (just ask Amnesia fans about pigs).
