Sony and rootkit, name a more iconic duo.

What a sad state when a PvE, P2P game requires installing a rootkit. Was looking forward to this game, but now I won’t even get it on PS5, even if I was originally going to play through proton on steam.

Can confirm, was able to download it after it was pulled and it runs fine.

Dude, this is a Wendy’s restaurant.

On YouTube desktop site you can use JKL for -10 pause/play +10 or left space right for -5 pause/play +5 respectively. As well as frame by frame with < > keys while paused.

Isn’t the venture scene’s motto “loss is the product” or something?

Is the research only new because we didn’t test this before? The number one advice to learn a language fast is to be totally submerged into the language and its culture. Seems like that would extend to just about any skill.

I gave it a try on my bare Debian 12 (kernel 6.1) install last week and a 3090.

KDE Plasma, on Wayland, worked out of the box but with poor performance. After following the official guide to installing the proprietary drivers, the Wayland session no longer works. After entering my password in SDDM I get a blank screen with a solid text cursor in the upper corner until I forcefully power cycle the machine.

I’ll stick to x11 for now, which works flawlessly with great performance in games (~200fps in Baldur’s Gate 3, max settings 1440p @ 240hz).

I would reasonably expect an increase in expected life / flights of a future model for sure but it will be highly dependent on what’s being tested. NASA aren’t making tools, they’re making instruments, if that makes sense. They aren’t producing a rugged tool for accomplishing a mission that someone buys to use, they’re making scientific equipment that carry out experiments and collect specific data. Even the instruments themselves are experiments, such as the durability of joint designs on the collection arms, or the roter materials selected all have a purpose and associated datapoint.

All that to say, the expected lifespan / flights on the next model will reflect the mission goals and budget / cost of the project and not necessarily an accurate expectation of the system. More or less “we designed this instrument to deliver x amount of data” not “we designed this tool to survive y number of uses”.

There’s some truth to underestimating the equipment for PR, it certainly has a huge positive PR spin to last 3 years off 5 flights estimate. But at the same time they are spending a lot of their budgets on projects that need to collect data. If 5 flights gives them the guarantee of solid data, then it was a justified project. On the other side of this, it was the first powered flight in any atmosphere outside of earth. There’s no way we had enough data to know just how long or how many flights it would do. Being this far off is reasonable. Same for the previous rovers, their estimates were low and far exceeded. The rover this time around got a much longer estimate, even if it’s beaten it already.

Jetbrains Rider is fantastic and .net 6+ is native to Linux now. You can even get by with VSCode (I prefer VSCodium) with their improved C# tools.

Depending on what you do, there’s also cross platform UI libraries like Avalonia-UI that can fully replace WPF.

And basically the entirety of dotnet 6 forward is spans. It’s all spans. All the way down.
