Microsoft is claims to be …

Come on now.

We can… learn, right?

Admit when we’ve been abused, consistently, for a very long time?

Ahem…

I may not always fail to properly trigger transparency, but when I don’t, I’ll don’t it in style.

the astronaut meme but its ‘wait that is how almost everything ever has worked this whole time?’

lemmy just fundamentally attempts to accept that that is basically how people work, when you boil things down and remove the rationalizations, and tries to provide mechanisms to manage this somewhat less insanely.

For you Fernando, I hope so too.

But if they aren’t… you can do and be better than that.

Yeah I can see that, proper thick cut.

Typically out of my price range, but yes!

This is how kitty began to fall to the dark side…

Myself, 3-5.

8 or above is charcoal, not bacon.

Hilariously I switched from EmuDeck to RetroDeck a while ago, solely because I really like its uh, default ESDE theme or whatever that is.

Now I can tug on my suspenders and pretend this was actually an extremely prescient security/architecure based opinion/decision, lol.

Yep, exactly.

If they can have a sense of humor about it, probably a decent, if cheeky, somewhat assholish, but maybe in an endearing / self-aware way, kind of person.

If they cannot?

Avoid avoid avoid avoid avoid.

They’re an entitled manipulator, and have absolutely no respect for you.

If you agree to wear that notorious horse mask, and take at least one shot through it, you’re invited.

Also you just have to always say ‘neigh’ instead of ‘no’, if you fuck that up, another shot.

(we can do half shots if you’re not a heavy drinker, you can lead a horse to water but forcing it to black out is unethical)

No you see, only Windows has the concept of permission groups for users, get chown’d, n00b.

Boy I sure do remember a lot of people in the last ten years tell me its completely impossible to run any kind of modern enterprise set up without Windows.

Wow!

They were all fucking wrong!

Who could have guessed!

… If Stewart Rhodes is anywhere on Lemmy, we need to know his IP.

Fuck that guy, right in the ‘lifelong reminder of poor weapon handling’ hole.

Ah, so there’s so much evidence that denial is now impossible, and its time to start sacrificing people.

Oh please implode faster Microsoft, you are so immensely horrible in so many ways.

Yes, this is where the term ‘half-cocked’ comes from.

It varies with double action (DA) revolvers, but basically all single action (SA) revolvers work like:

You pull the hammer half way back, to half cocked, to revolve the cylinder.

You pull the hammer fully back, to fully cocked, for the trigger to be able to loose the hammer and thus fire the bullet.

So, if you are ‘walking around half cocked’, that means you are literally carrying around your weapon in a state where it is easier to fully cock and then fire it, (because you literally dont have to pull the hammer as far to get it to fully cocked), thus it implies you’re basically ready / looking for a fight.

To de cock a fully cocked SA revolver, you pull the hammer back even further than fully cocked, press lightly on the trigger, and then carefully lower the hammer to rest position.

This kind of action mechanism is also what allows ‘fanning’ to be possible:

You just pull the trigger slightly, (the trigger has multiple stages), and then fan the hammer / fully pull the trigger.

Each full ‘fan’ of the hammer will bring it to fully cocked, and because your finger is now fully pulling the trigger, the hammer will immediately fall and thus fire. The fanning also of course pulls the hammer past half cocked, so the cylinder is revolving one click each time as well.

(At least this is my understanding of how one does ‘fanning’, I may be slightly wrong in some way, I’ve never fanned a revolver myself as it is… basically just a kind of trick shooting that is very much not recommended for a typical shooter)

Now… with double action (DA) revolvers, this is different.

Because with a double action, a full pull of the trigger basically pulls the hammer back as well, instead of you having to do that with your thumb.

So as you are pulling the trigger, you get to half cocked, revolving the cylinder, then fully cocked, which also is the point where the hammer is let to fall and thus fire the weapon.

It can get even more complicated with SA/DA, where its kinda both at the same time… there are different variations with different specific procedures for de cocking different kinds and models of revolvers.

And, you can get even more complicated than that, with say the Chiappa Rhino, or the Mateba Semi Auto Revolver.

So basically, broadly, you’re not wrong / mostly generally right, but its even more complicated and depends on the specific kind of revolver you have.

God fucking damnit.

I get that this is a joke, and it is a good joke, but guns will fucking kill you if you are fucking stupid.

The actual original image, because I don’t want any of you goobers to blow your own balls off, or accidentally cap your friend or neighbor:

Fire a shotgun through the door.

Because those one are how Palantir makes money.

… do not go quietly into that good night.

Rage.

Rage against the dying of the light.

The Steam Deck and Steam Controller (2.0, but w/e) use Voice Coil Actuators spread throughout the device for both haptics snd rumble.

They’re both measured/set in decibels.

It could be that you’ve found something actually worth posting a bug report about on… well I’m not sure where lol.

It could be a Steam Input issue, it could be a Proton issue, it could be both.

It might be the case that the style of command the game sends is basically ‘formatted’ in such a way that its not being properly interpreted/translated the way it would be by the kinds of controllers the game was/is specifically designed to work with.

As far as I can tell, while the Steam Controller and PS5 Controllers use VCAs… the Xbox One Controller uses a more old school, ‘eccentric rotors’, unbalanced psuedo wheels that spin on an axis.

So… for a system like that, a straight pulse of linear input command would feel to get more instense, and then gradually taper off.

If you give that ssme input to a VCA, it … ‘interperets it literally’, if that makes any sense.

Its kinda like VCAs are digital, and ERs are analog… sorta.

So… there would have to be some kind of … additional emulation required, basically, to translate rumble ‘commands’ that were made to work with an ER system, to a VCA system.

Like uh, 2 seconds of ON would have to be translated into an accumulating VCA amplitude, that would then taper off after the ON input ceases, some kind of buffer.
