Great point. Think of how incredible it would be if you could go on line and get manuals to fix any part of anything you own from a PS5 to a Refrigerator, to a Rivan Truck including all the protocols, chip sets, ect... Or just explore them to see how things work, I'm sure a lot of great inventions and ideas came about from people tinkering with and exploring manuals like these. Anymore these are considered "top secret" and you have to reverse engineer anything to figure out how it works. I think this speaks more to the fact that the things you "buy" these days aren't really considered yours. You are borrowing the IP to use for a fee and if it breaks, tough shit. Throw it out and get a new one.

Ah, good point. I do have a monitor with HDR, but I never really paid attention to it in the past. AFAIK unfortunately there isn't really any good support for HDR without a lot of messing with the window server. It seems to be in the works though by various groups.

Good luck with that....

No big surprise here, stars/star reviews are in general completely worthless. I don't really even bother with them anymore.

Similar to this guy I haven't used windows to play games for around 2 years now. I have around 30-40 games and I haven't found a game that doesn't work, yet...

To add more context, the artist's name is Thomas Deininger he actually makes these sculptures out of trash he finds and is given (not only toys). He says it's in response to treating the planet as a place to dump our garbage and the general decline of the biodiversity on earth along with the extinction of it's species as a direct result of climate change and habitat loss. So anyways, while it's cool looking it definitely has darker message.

Among the birds depicted in Deininger's work are a wild maccaw, endangered due to deforestation and poaching; the Carolina parakeet, hunted to extinction following an initial habitat loss; and the Ivory-billed woodpecker, native to the coniferous forests of the Southern United States and Cuba that has been listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as extinct since September 2021. While all of these birds have different appearances, colors, and textures, the artist has found a way to truthfully represent them thanks to his keen sense of observation.

heavy as boulders?

This is to bad, I really enjoyed this game one of the better platformers to come out in a long time.

Great interview, thanks

 

It used to be that you would do a search on a relevant subject and get blog posts, forums posts, and maybe a couple of relevant companies offering the product or service. (And if you wanted more information on said company you could give them a call and actually talk to a real person about said service) You could even trust amazon and yelp reviews. Now searches have been completely taken over by Forbes top 10 lists, random affiliate link click through aggregators that copy and paste each others work, review factories that will kill your competitors and boost your product stars, ect.... It seems like the internet has gotten soooo much harder to use, just because you have to wade through all the bullshit. It's no wonder people switch to reddit and lemmy style sites, in a way it mirrors a little what kind of information you used to be able to garner from the internet in it's early days. What do people do these days to find genuine information about products or services?

 

I was curious as to what prompts people find are the best for development? I'm looking for a change from the generic debian:

PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '

Which yields:

dell-xps-13@pop-os:~$

 

Everything seems to be very Cuda centric, has anyone tried training or other ml projects using AMD GPUs? How was it?

 

I bought a refillable spray bottle designed for cooking oils. Unfortunately the oils I have tried don't compare to the ones in the cans (PAM cooking spray with lecithin) Can anyone suggest a good refillable substitute for PAM? Anyone tried mixing up their own lecithin laced cooking oils?

 

Anyone tried this new grind by weight grinder from Eureka? Thoughts?

 

My friend made a website to track cars in bike lanes. Enjoy!
