Apple limits third-party browser engine work to EU devices (www.theregister.com)

The Register has learned from those involved in the browser trade that Apple has limited the development and testing of third-party browser engines to devices physically located in the EU. That requirement adds an additional barrier to anyone planning to develop and support a browser with an alternative engine in the EU....

Just one more reason to make laws that enforce similarly fair competition in other countries. Don’t let companies get away with this shit!

That’s actually really cool that they do that. Reduces the ability of people to scam because they cannot pick intentionally-similar usernames.

If you've done the Final Fantasy marathon did you include FF XI? Was it worth it?

I’ve been playing through all the numbered games and its been great. I could write an essay or two on any of them. In general I’m only including base games and no expansions or DLC so it wouldn’t be a huge undertaking to beat 11, but I’m trying to see if it’s worth it from others who have done the marathon....

No of course not. Plus XI nowadays is a bit tricky to play anyways, and with XIV, there’s also no reason to for the average player.

I’ll be honest compared to many of the main FF games like X, XIII or XVI, XIV’s story from ARR->EW, especially once you’re in the last segments of ShB and EW, easily outdoes them. It’s slow as molasses since it has to fit a whole MMO with 2y release cycles into it, but it’s also damn good.

That’s a good thing - as the consumer.

The less exclusives, the better. We don’t need lock-ins, we need open platforms and open systems. If I want a plug&play gaming experience I can buy a console, if I want maximum performance and quality in a more maintenance and setup intensive package I can build my own PC.

But what if it ain’t a car but a Cybertruck?

Honestly if the POS that Tesla sells here counts as a truck, my bicycle does…

“Natural” has almost no meaning on a package, it is just a hand-waving word

That’s partially because it’s useless in general, of course it’s natural, where else would you get it from? Every atom from a particle accelerator colision?!

a layout designed to circumvent jamming typewriter

Or are you have… the stroke?!

Carighan,
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

Sure, and we’ve tried a lot of alternative layouts over the decades.

None of them stuck around, by and large. Some have ultra-niche followings, sure. But overall, the latin-script world has stuck to (Q|A)WERT(Y|Z). For a reason!

Why does this not work with a QWERTY layout?

a layout designed to circumvent jamming typewriter keys

BTW, the supposed origin of the QWERTY layout is uncertain, and the story about it being based around avoiding adjacent bigrams has been called into question often enough (PDF, see pg. 169ff). You can see there plenty images of typewriters that had O next to U still (I was left of U), which if you think about bigrams makes no sense as especially back then it was one of by far the most common ones.
The supposed slowdown is also false as explained in the PDF, as early typewriters were used to receive morse-code, and could type at 60-80 words per minute while the best morse senders capped at ~30, meaning that no slowdown would have been perceivable anyways.

One proposed origin could be that the early still-not-quite-there developments were based on most people using 4-8 fingers to type not all 10, and alwys the inner fingers and discarding the outer ones.

Why does it produce such extra load on a QWERTY keyboard?

Carighan,
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

What additional axis? Swiping is always done on a 2D board?

Hrm, I had similar issues on my Artillery X2 before.

Here’s what I went through:

  • Replaced the nozzle
  • Replaced the thermistor
  • Replaced the heating block
  • Replaced the main PCB
  • Replaced the heatbreak

Finally, I gave up, and took out the thermistor again thinking maybe I broke it. There’s a small PCB connected to it, that sits on the side of the hot end assembly. I contacted Artillery about a potentially faulty hot end PCB, they sent me a replacement. It did not help. Desperate, I also replaced the thermistor with the replacement one that was part of their repair kit. And that worked. I think the faulty PCB broke the first replacement thermistor or something…

Which to be fair, is a more than enough law for 98%++ of the population and all companies, too. Just not for the biggest companies who really ought to always be upgraded one “unit”. That is, instead of 500 Kiloeuros, they get to pay 500 Megaeuros.

I mean, this sucks, but I also wonder how this could be fixed. If you read up what absolutely benign stuff like your physical screen resolution coupled with how quickly you move your mouse coupled with your possible languages ad companies can use to uniquely identify you among the whole world visiting their page, it’s not a long throw at all to uniquely identify someone based on their steam friends.

Yeah this seems to be something people are missing. These tests sometimes prohibit all reviewing and commenting in their NDAs (including positive ones). It’s a playtest, not a beta, review copy or pre-release.

They did it a second time, so what is it now? Dependable incompetence?
