eyeon,

it’s not a valid comparison really. this is an alternative to an emulator than a ROM.

If you used this to compile a native version of space invaders that ran incorrectly it would be no worse than if you used an emulator to run space invaders that ran incorrectly. in either case you treat it as a bug in the emulator/recompiler and fix it and re run the process.

Nobody is suggesting deleting their roms and keeping only the current copy of a recompiled game. I don’t think that would even work… as far as I know you still need the original ROM to load inside of the recompiled executable for the non-code assets.

I don't know anything about Linux and the idea of installing it frightens me. Where do I start?

I bought a laptop yesterday, it came pre-installed with Windows 11. I hate win 11 so I switched it down to Windows 10, but then started considering using Linux for total control over the laptop, but here’s the thing: I keep seeing memes about how complicated or fucky wucky Linux is to install and run. I love the idea of open...

eyeon,

It depends on the package really. Sometimes you’re better off without the fixes that occurred in the last 2 years if it means avoiding the new bugs in the last 2 years.

IMO the more you try to stick to the latest releases, the more important it is to continue to stay updated. but every upgrade is a chance for new bugs or just breaking changes, so for new users starting with a stable distro is a good choice.

… except for browsers, where you both need the newest features but REALLY need the newest fixes.

eyeon,

Agreed but I think the intent is still interesting. My interpretation would be that you can still talk to friends, but not about the vacation. Id still say yes but I’m curious if that changes it for you.

The more simplified question would be just not bringing your phone or a camera, but then id say no as that just sounds like a dangerous trap and isn’t really what the question is trying to ask- it’s more 'would you go on a vacation and just enjoy it, or do you only want to go on vacation so people know you went? ’

eyeon,

no product recommendation but in general KVMs can’t handle high bandwidth displays. Maybe some can but the vast majority are meant for 1080p60 desktop use.

"Batch cooking" how do you store meal for the second half of the week ?

I don’t do “batch cooking” per se, but often cook something larger on saturday/sunday so I have leftover, either for Monday/thuesday lunch or for when coming back from sport, keeping food 2-3 in the fridge doesn’t worry me (Obviously, I am not gonna keep a tartare so long in the frige, and don’t even cook meat). Things...

eyeon,

the other reply covered the actual ranges and why it’s important, but in case it’s not obvious:

You should never put hot food in the fridge. Particularly food with a lot of thermal mass like a bowl of soup or thick lasagna. While that would cool the food quicker than just leaving it out, the heat you’re adding is going to heat up the other items in your fridge and risk their safety. And since it will all eventually cool back down it will not be obvious what food was at unsafe temps or how long.

eyeon,

a lot of their aio competition also sources parts from them also

eyeon,

slightly off topic but I’ve been disappointed with ultrawide support and really advise against it for most people. Many single player games that do support it clearly weren’t designed for it and just give you a prettier pillarboxed 16:9, like Hades adding some art on the sides.

And multiplayer games just crop your vision down so you have a weird FoV and see the same amount horizontally as a 16:9 user, but can’t see as much above or below you as they can. Proper support would let you see more horizontally than 16:9 players and since that’s the vast majority of players it’s understandable… but then anyone who does buy an ultrawide has to run it in 16:9 with pillarboxing or be at a disadvantage.

eyeon,

the content being scraped is from users, they do not control what bots are added to servers.

It’s much more like the Cambridge Analytics scandal in that users posted content that was shared with friends but not explicitly shared publicly, but those friends then granted a third party access to all of the data.

Pros and cons of getting a job at a very small software company? (14 employees)

I have the opportunity to maybe get a job as a software developer at a small software company that employs 14 people. But my gut is telling me that getting a job at a small company like that might he terrible. Do you guys have any experiences working at companies that small?...

eyeon,

the biggest downside imo is it can be hard to leave because you’ll feel more connected to everyone involved. but they won’t necessarily be able to pay you much more than you start at even if you do stay. and you’ll be spending that time on more or less the same tech stack which can limit your growth and make it harder when finding a new job later.

id say it’s fine especially as an early job but strongly consider a new job after 2-4 years

eyeon,

Yes. and why it’s wildly complicated on Windows machines where you have an audio output device for headphones and for headset, and once something starts using the mic the output device itself changes.

So joining team chat in a game will either make audio sound horrible or break it entirely if you had specified the output device instead of using default device.

eyeon,

for earbuds it’s useful as many modern phones can share their battery to wirelessly charge another device, so you can top up your earbuds off of your phone while you’re out somewhere and not need to lug around a charger and cable.

For wirelessly charging phones, I agree the pad style chargers defeat a lot of the point, but I am a fan of the dock-style wireless chargers. I have one at my desk and can just glance at my phone to see notifications, and I have to set my phone somewhere anyways, so this lets me top up my phone without really thinking about it.

eyeon,

There’s a lot of things that make the Bluetooth experience better… it’s just almost all focused on mobile phones, maybe apple laptops if you stay in their walled gardens, but definitely not stock windows.

I say stock because if you do use windows and want to use Bluetooth you can improve things with a third party driver www.bluetoothgoodies.com/a2dp/it’s still not great but at least you can use better codecs than default

eyeon,

the only slightly justifiable use of slotted is something like the face plate on a light switch or power outlet, where it doesn’t have to be particularly tight and it’s nice you can remove it in a pinch with a fingernail or dime.

… but really if someone came and replaced all of mine with torx I can’t say id complain, so its not like they’re good in that use case… just less awful

eyeon,

In the US that is not legal per the GINA act. Note that that is specific to health insurance. Life insurance can legally use that data. And laws can be broken often with less penalty than the profit made from violating them. And data can be retained much longer than laws exist so the GINA act could be repealed or updated at some point allowing companies to legally use the data already acquired.

eyeon,

before steam had the built in library categorization I used a third party tool that created categories automatically based on tags

which is to say I have way too many useless categories now and need to wipe them all and start over 🙁

eyeon,

if there was actual choice involved you might have a point but it doesn’t really matter what changes when you don’t have the ability to decline.

but for the record I believe this update removed your right to legal recourse and forces you through binding arbitration, so yes, this one does have something worth being pissed about.

eyeon,

see learn.adafruit.com/…/cable-types-and-differences for all the various things the cable alone can support

what devices can support is definitely an issue too though.

eyeon,

it’s also safer when wanting to charge from untrusted chargers, though you can still get an adapter to block the data pins or just bring your own wall charger/battery when traveling

eyeon,

I generally prefer rogue likes these days for the variety, but I do think meta progression can also make it feel like wasting your time in a different way. The game becomes gated by wasting enough time to unlock the rest, and doing so can feel more like an inevitability than an accomplishment.
