From GoG specifically, as they patch the older games on their store to “just run” on modern Windows

Anybody crashing a Cybertruck at highway speeds into one of those is instantly turned into red colored mashed potatoes

Why does that sound delicious 😭

I would expect better from xda to be honest, considering most of the early days in android rooting and roms really took off on their forums

Really like this!

Only one additional thing that came to mind - get a phone with lots of storage! My two previous Android devices died as a result of EMMC failure, and they had a pretty small onboard capacity (16GB, and 32GB)… my current device is 64GB and I now keep most of my data on a 512GB sd card.

Lots of empty storage space allows the EMMC firmware to perform wear levelling as needed, prolonging the life of this non-replaceable component. Most well-designed Android devices also run a “TRIM” on the internal EMMC storage when the device is idle, a kind of self-maintenance procedure that allows the firmware to keep track of how much space is unoccupied.

For Android users who are curious about the details (or have rooted devices and want to run a trim manually) see here

Attacking the Blender foundation is honestly a new low. There is no “lulz” and nothing to gain

The last time I used Chrome was a fork called Rockmelt 🥴 then moved to Maxthon, then K-Meleon, and settled on Firefox

Take the A train like the rest of us.

This! Instead of burning the money on useless garbage, put it towards the existing underfunded infrastructure which would benefit way more people!

Very neat project 👌 I like!

This kind of thing could work for a few apps, say a color picker utility or a QR code generator etc.

Looking at the docs, it isn’t clear if apps can write to their own namespace (instead of writing to user folders directly), but if they can, we could expand the scope to games like supertuxkart, 2048 etc, which would then be able to save user milestones and progress in their own area - a bit like how Android apps do it

It’s a great start IMO, although admittedly there is still work to do. Flatpak atm bridges the gap with allowing new apps, requiring new libs, to run on older stable/LTS distros

Yepp this is what I meant, my bad! Thanks for the correction

Is the hex file not saving with those editors, or is the game just not showing the new value once it’s loaded?

Also worth noting some other nice free music apps also available on F-Droid:

• SimpTube (uses YouTube Music)
• Musify (uses Spotify)
• Spotube (uses Spotify, streams the actual tracks from YouTube Music or via a Piped instance)

Chonky TL;DR because I was a little annoyed that there wasn’t one here -

Certainly no commercial product could ever work at a profit if you needed remote operators anything like that often. As Brooks points out, the term “autonomous” barely applies.

Beyond what Brooks pointed out, the story also notes “Those vehicles were supported by a vast operations staff, with 1.5 workers per vehicle”.

Fitting with this general vibe, a source (that in fairness, I don’t know well) just told me that his impression having visited with them not so long ago was that “they’re definitely relying on remote interventions to create an illusion of stronger AI than they really have”.

if Cruise’s vehicles really need an intervention every few miles, and 1.5 external operators for every vehicle, they don’t seem to even be remotely close to what they have been alleging to the public. Shareholders will certainly sue, and if it’s bad as it looks, I doubt that GM will continue the project, which was recently suspended.

As safety expert Missy Cummings said to me this morning, remote operators could well be “the dark secret of ALL self-driving.”

Human lives at are stake.

Cruise CEO Kyle Vogt essentially confirmed that their “driverless” cars need very regular human intervention:

The web UI would be the safest bet I think.

Apps may have their own mechanisms for loading links to news articles, videos and stuff to make it show in a user-friendly way, with the downside that the linked website can respond with a tracking image as the Opengraph banner etc.

Saving this, thanks for sharing!

I used to use this on XP 🥲 great to hear it’s still around though!

Mid 2012 is my daily 😍 running a different keyboard kernel module though to swap some of the keys, and make the Eject button a Delete key
