I've only ever owned a Steam Deck so can't really comment. I used it a couple times intending to use it when travelling by train then sold it because it was too wide/big to really carry around with the carry case. Didn't really see the advantage over just playing mobile games (or doomscrolling social media etc) or playing more indie/basic games on the laptop.

Xbox is fine, it updates itself (firmware/OS updates only take about 5 mins) and the servers are fast enough. There's basically no maintenance. Can be annoying if it's a game you wanted to play at the moment updating but then Steam is the same.

Don't really have the room for a gaming PC anymore after moving, I've got my old one but it needs some fixing up (RTX 3080). 1TB Xbox One Series X I got second hand for about $400 (also added a storage expansion for about $130) is doing me sound for any gaming needs (currency converted from GBP). All the games optimised, usually 60fps, no messing about with settings other than the quality/performance switches. Looks great on the TV with 4K/HDR. Laptop for the day to day workstation stuff. Lovely controller. Been enjoying Forza Horizon 6 and just started playing Star Wars Outlaws.

Used to be pretty 'PC Master Race' but then life got in the way.

I do miss stuff like modded Valve games and keyboard & mouse, but can run them somewhat on my laptop.

I keep thinking Fable 5 is an instalment of the Lionhead/Microsoft RPG series...

And just like that Messenger has gone down right on cue.

Meanwhile performance of Meta projects runs at 20% full of bugs.

In SCRUM though if that stuff isn't in the sprint you'll probably get backlash from QAs as it needs testing etc, or questioned why you're bringing in that stuff.

Easier to sit back and not do anything.

Respectfully, I think this is a you issue at this point!

Use a newer machine to grab the files then transfer them?

You must have one somewhere, you're chatting on HN with a modern SSL certificate.

Flashpoint runs without installing anything via the ZIP version. It's FOSS software so no issue there I hope?

The Infinity version lets you download as you go rather than download the whole 2TB+! archive.

Can just grab them out of the cache once they've been downloaded, wherever they're stored.

Privately owned company, GabeN is getting on a bit now, he does have a son mind, we'll see what happens later on.

Have you seen the salaries Meta pay?

And Virgin Media in the UK still doesn't support IPv6

Enterprise usage. Devs know companies will just pay out. Easier than trying to get sponsored.

.NET is great because you use a FOSS library and then a month later the developer changes the licence and forces you to either pay a subscription for future upgrades or swap it out.

Surely it's less of an advantage in rich countries because naturally less theft occurs?

Comes to about 2MB for me, which seems to be because they've added the EU cookie policy compliance bloat (probably from a third-party). Once that's agreed to via cookies the page is 47KB.

Bit unfair, turned off my adblocker and ran NY Times website with cache disabled via Dev Tools, came to 3MB. Still pretty damn high but not 49MB. (Will say I'm in the UK so might be different across the pond).

Just add a filter for emdashes, 99% of AI posts out the window already.

The README doesn't seem to have been updated, is there an updated Docker image to use now?

From the OP's link

The workstation paragraph seems like a humble brag. Most of us yearn for a set-up like that! Especially with the price of components going up thanks to AI and corporations buying all the hardware to support it.

Well they're text generation engines, of course they do, it's all just text.

Change the URL to HTTP and you should get your ISP's block message (Virgin Media)

I think it's really bigger than that. I'm hooked myself scrolling reels, but I go to the pub after work and see retired or 50-70 year old men (barely know how to work a phone) scrolling through them as well. That's when you know they're addicting as anything. Can't go anywhere nowadays in public without hearing someone scrolling through reels who don't know how to behave themselves in public by turning down the volume or wearing earphones.

They literally only put them in unaffordable areas. Like the only one I know is in a residential area of Southwalk in London not far from the TATE Modern museum. I don't even live in London.

Been in one once for the novelty as they've never been useful.

I guess I meant unedited by the photographer manually (e.g. using Lightroom etc.)

Either that or a photo that has been edited from a RAW and is a final version to be posted online.

In the photography world it's shorthand for "photo unedited straight from the camera". Popular with Fujifilm cameras especially due to their 'film simulation' modes which apply basically a filter to the image.

Did I not mention 'seeing what your kids are up to'? I think that covers that.
