Sounds like someone wasn’t able to ship product and had their licensing pulled…

I was part of the hardcore build it yourself crew for years and years, but I find now that for the last 10 years or so now, and especially with the death of places like Fry’s and all the bullshit Newegg pulled, it’s way easier and cheaper to buy a pre-built box that’s maybe 90-95% there, then tweak what you need to tweak.

Get that manufacturers warranty and forget trying to part it out yourself.

Hilarious that it even embedded the tweet so you can see it’s not an accurate quote.

Bad enough when humans do it, adding nothing.

A Hogwart’s Legacy style game where you play as a Hobbit would be completely acceptable.

As a cat owner, this doesn’t even look like a real print. It’s too deep. Most likely a manufactured print done as a gag by whoever made the bricks.

If you’re doing this in a business environment, I wouldn’t fool around with a home rolled option and would just go straight with a Websense subscription:

This is immediately obvious to anyone who followed the timeline of events.

Removing Shokin didn’t STOP the Burisma investigation. It allowed it to move forward! Shokin was the guy slow-walking it.

I don’t get the surprise… Apple has ALWAYS been like this. They don’t want “normies” screwing around with “their” gear.

Heck, you needed a case cracker tool to open the OG Macintosh machines, they were specifically engineered to keep people out.

Good, launch that and kill the Series S.

jordanlund,

They’ll still get games, it just won’t be allowed to roadblock titles like Baldur’s Gate 3.

If someone wants to make a game for an underpowered system, they absolutely can, but it’s time for it to be left behind. It was never a good idea.

jordanlund,

That’s what the Series X is for.

No, the Series X is still a better deal.

Makes sense:

Xbox - 2001
Xbox 360 - 2005
Xbox One - 2013
Xbox One S - 2016
Xbox One X - 2017
Xbox Series S|X - 2020

4 years, 8 years, 3 years, 1 year, 3 years.

2028 would be on the long side but not unheard of. The reason for the big gap between 2005 and 2013 was the 2008 economic crisis.

2020 was the covid/supply chain crisis.

jordanlund,

Historic generations were about 5 years…

The big problem with the Xbox One was that it was underpowered because of the Kinect requirement, so they ditched Kinect then rebranded as the Xbox One S, throwing in a 4K Blu Ray player.

Still wasn’t enough, so the One X had full 4K capabilities.

If they had launched with the One X things would have looked a lot different.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.one avatar

I just thought it was bad, probably AI generated, concept art.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.one avatar

Because the 360 refresh was functionally the same, both the One S and One X added new functionality (4K Blu Ray, 4K Gaming).

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.one avatar

Microsoft required 10% of system resources be reserved for Kinect support, even in games that didn’t support Kinect features.

eurogamer.net/how-the-xbox-one-gpu-reserve-unlock…

That reduction in horsepower for the actual games showed up in reduced resolution and framerate.

Lifting that restriction allowed the Xbox One to reach parity with the PS4.

People won’t pay for something that used to be free… OTOH, neither will bot farms.

Either case will end Twitter, so I say go for it!

Possible to take the hardware, wipe it, install Linux and not worry about expiration?

Lost me at “the first consumer product we’re aware of to use nitinol”.

There were nitinol eyeglass frames back in the 1980s.

Reading reviews of the pictured model, apparently they sounded like crap?

I mean, they’re beautiful, and the magnet attached mic is inspired, but if they sound like garbage what’s the point?

Figured it our without reading the comment, nicely done! Fun little game and fully playable on my Android phone.

Forget Barbenheimer, I’m going full on Balder’s Field and playing both.

So far, Baldur’s Gate III seems deeper. Just starting on Starfield.

Microsoft to Drop Support for Third-Party Printer Drivers on Windows (petri.com)

“With the release of Windows 10 21H2, Windows offers inbox support for Mopria compliant printer devices over network and USB interfaces via the Microsoft IPP Class Driver. This removes the need for print device manufacturers to provide their own installers, drivers, utilities, and so on. Device experience customization is now...

“via Windows Update” - key piece of info missing from the headline “for some reason”.

Yeah, I don’t see a need for Windows update to do any 3rd party stuff.

jordanlund,

Because Microsoft manages Windows update, it’s not like a package manager in Linux.

I don’t want Microsoft telling me when I should update an Epson printer driver.

jordanlund,

Because Microsoft has no more business managing Epson applications than Epson does, I dunno, Kensington or Belkin.

Back in the day, some phones shared an antenna for Bluetooth and Wifi, so you could do one or the other but not both.

Try turning off Bluetooth and see if Wifi miraculously works.

I haven’t started it yet, but if past experience is any indication, the Xbox version should be far less buggy.

Consumer Nintendo Switch 2 rumored to have more RAM than the Xbox Series S (www.notebookcheck.net)

A new Nintendo Switch 2 rumor has surfaced claiming that the next-generation hybrid console could actually arrive with more memory than a powerful rival like the Microsoft Xbox Series S. The same source has also offered an update in regard to the Switch 2’s potential DLSS support and ray-tracing capabilities.

Low bar. :) The Xbox One X has more RAM than the Xbox Series S.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.one avatar

More shocking is the speed of the RAM involved.

Xbox Series S
8 GB running at 224 GB/s
2 GB at 56 GB/s

By comparison:

Xbox Series X
16 GB @ 560 GB/s

PS5
16 GB @ 448 GB/s

Xbox One X
12 GB @ 326.4 GB/s

Steam Deck
16 GB @ 88 GB/s

Switch
4 GB @ 25.6 GB/s

If it had 10 GB at the higher speed it would still be hamstrung, but not as badly as it is with 8 GB and 2 GB that’s essentially unusable except for maybe UI overlays.

As a console gamer, I don’t have to worry about it. Xbox Series X, PS5, Steam Deck are all AMD based. The Switch is Nvidia, but honestly, I can’t remember the last time I turned the Switch on.

How to make an MP3 player work in 2023?

If I wanted an MP3 player again, in 2023, and wanted to rip cds to it and put digitally purchased albums on it, as actual owned files (not inside an proprietary ecosystem where I pay to only listen to that track within that service) could I still do that? What would I need? I don’t own, and can’t afford, a “real...

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.one avatar

Your iPad is an MP3 player, but as far as ripping a CD, first you need a USB CD drive, which is easy enough to get.

BUT… iOS doesn’t recognize optical drives, so once you have the USB drive, you need some other device to connect it to in order to rip the CDs.

Could be something like a Steam Deck or an inexpensive laptop or Chrome Book.

Once you rip the files to the device, you need to probably upload them to cloud storage accessible by both that device and the iPad.

Once the files are transferred to the iPad, you should be good to go!
