This is not even true, they rewrote the engine to support native 64-bit precision to let them fit large spaces, they didn’t just make everything small. They basically employ all the people that used to make Cryengine since Crytek went out of business, so the engine they are building is actually pretty good.

What are you signing into where you need a password but don’t have internet?

Wasn’t expecting this before an arm64, but exciting t see.

It literally isn’t though, the graph is labeled and the article explains it in further detail, this is a graph of the percent of income each income group pays in taxes. You explination doesn’t even make sense, the numbers of all the groups don’t add up to 100%.

Elon has literally said exactly this so many times. I think it is probably possible to make a car drive with just vision, but you make the task monumentally harder by not having things that ground you in reality, ie. lidar.

It’s camera pass-through, so while it is the same idea as hololens (overlaying windows on reality). The hololens would actually be a safer thing to wear while driving, given it fully transparent. There are not screens blocking your vision with camera feeds overlayed on top.

They are not, can’t even get an appointment until after the 5th. Currently they are first come first serve.

If my understanding of the DMA is correct, and I think it is given this blurb from the DMA website “Fines of up to 10% of the company’s total worldwide annual turnover, or up to 20% in the event of repeated infringements.” The fines will be colossal.

Look into Fedora Silverblue, immutable filesystem OSes have come a long way. Things like Toolbx allow you to install packages in sub-systems similar to WSL and flatpaks make all the grapical applications avaliable. Plus package installation doesn’t pollute your base install with packages making the OS increasingly unstable.

Oh, ok yea that makes sense. I definitely see the benefits to the Portal, for the right person.

maybe you can clarify, I have re-read more than once and still don’t understand youe point about the steam deck.

I wasn’t suggesting steam deck, I was just confused about their points dismissing it. Since they sdmit to already owning one.

Steam deck is too quick and easy? You want it to be more difficult?

Some leaks point to possibly a non-handheld console, exactly like a steam machine 2. I think it could work with the right set of features, and a good steam controller 2. But with Valve you never know what internal things will actually become launched products.

whoa, super cool. just bought a bunch more games

i used the ifixit iOpener along with their plastic pry tools which worked really well to get the screen off. and I ended up just scratching off the extra adhesive with my nail fpr fear of scratching the black bezel off. i managed to remove and reattach the screen flush and without any scratches in the black bezel, it just took a while and patient to remove all the old adhesive.

good luck on you build, would love to hear how it goes.

you are missing a couple things here, both twitter and mastodon allow following “topics” in that you can follow hashtags.

additionally you can federate more content from other instances that no one follows by connecting to a relay.

not saying this entirely fixes the problems you bring up just that there are ways to somewhat address them.

Three self-tapping screws of a more mysterious origin attach to each analog stick. There are 28 screws of this type in a Steam Deck. Yet no source seems to have ever named the specification of this screw. And my inquiries with Valve customer support got the response that they do not know (and have no vendor they want to reveal). My measurements suggest

In between M1.55-0.5×4.5mm and M1.55-0.55×4.5mm (total length 5.2 mm), wafer headed, head height 0.7 mm, head diameter 3.5 mm

These are very custom screws and are virtually impossible to obtain.

i was talking about these

this is a really great read, thanks for doing all this testing and gathering all this data. it is crazy they are using some highly custom screws in there, i can’t imagine why they would go through that effort?

yea, it’s the light reflecting
