It just never should have launched for the previous gen consoles. It's so painfully evident that no amount of optimization done after the game was "complete" was going to fix performance on old AMD APUs working off laptop hard drives. The PS4 and Xbox One were put to their limits almost immediately when they launched in 2013, and Cyberpunk just did not play within them.

For me they're the only option I find comfortable. Apple's one of the few that still offer earbuds that don't require you jam them inside you ear while still sounding pretty good and staying in while exercising.

As for their features, I can pause and play my music with them. This isn't the first app to offer some additional functionality on Android either. CAPods has been around for a while.

I think pretty much the only other option for earbuds that rest in the lobe rather than use a sealing tip is sold by Nothing, and they rely on a wraparound that feels uncomfortable for me while I'm wearing glasses.

Genuinely, Apple has the market cornered on this. I'd love some competition, but so far I've yet to come across another pair of wireless earbuds that:

  • Don't leak sound
  • Don't sit in the ear canal
  • Sound good (clear mids/bass/treble)
  • Comfortable for long periods of time

Have I gone my whole life doing cover letters "wrong"? I use them as an opportunity to talk about things I've worked on as it relates to the responsibilities of the job that a resume wouldn't necessarily explain in depth. I've never treated it like I'm meant to ingratiate myself to anpotential employer for the chance. Usually the resume is "Here's where I've worked and my roles there" and the cover letter is "Here's what I've worked on and how that experience is relevant"

I've had a great experience with Heroic for this purpose. Generally just as easy to configure as Steam, compared to Bottles or some strange Lutris script

It saddens me, as I liked Roku for being the least ad-ridden option of the bunch. The apps don't advertise to me as I hover over them, and a DNS change renders the single poster-style advert on the screen inert.

I've got a couple Roku devices that realistically I'll continue to use unless I manage to find a hospitality TV or something to replace my TCL with. I'd just use my PS5 if it weren't for the fact Sony won't approve Jellyfin's app

Some clickbait nonsense. Genuinely.

This isn't anything like what its trying to spark fear over. it requires a credential stuffing attack that needs the following:

  1. A management interface exposed to the internet
  2. A lack of controls related to who can log in and where from
  3. The use of SSLVPN that does not utilize SAML or another form of OAuth

After all of that, and presuming they have a set of working credentials that have not been changed after the credentials were exposed in a breach, can they perform an attack.

Like with anything, working admin credentials will get you to a CLI, and from there you can do a lot. Protect your management interfaces. Do the bare minimum.

They didn't give up, they pushed it back 6 months to wait out the shitstorm.

I'd be trading one smart mess for another, and paying more money to do it. My TV is from 2018, and when it's hit 10 years old maybe I'll think about it. But right now, there's no reason for me to rush out and find something else when I know the Roku can't phone home and Jellyfin works like I want it to. Besides, whether an account is required or not, I wouldn't trust Google any more than Roku/Fox. I don't know what I'll buy next, but I'm not prepared to think about it right now.

It's a bit difficult in a case like this, as it does add context and acknowledges their new identity so as to link what was a well known video to an existing person. I'd struggle to know who this was otherwise. I don't think there's any malintent here.

Frankly, I don't have a problem with anyone who uses linux, I do too. I just get tired of the same stupid circlejerks that paint it as some kind of perfect alternative to existing mainstays. I like it, you like it, Lemmy is a deeply nerdy subsect of diehard FOSS ideologies and the power of the personal computer. But dear god is it kind of insufferable at times when it's preaching to converts, and I imagine even less pleasant for those who just don't have a desire to care.

It's been interesting, watching the lag here. This feeling was felt by many who played games on PC 15 years ago when DVDs were starting to become less common and games were expanding in size. I distinctly remember buying a game I was excited for only to learn now I had to spend part of my data cap on downloading it. What had even been the point of buying the boxed copy?

Cool, they've done effectively the same thing they did with the Steam Deck. I think they truly didn't anticipate the volume of people interested in the controller.

PDFs are the scariest file type. They can execute JS, include 3D models, hold hidden fields and metadata you haven't invented yet. Design fillable fields and then format them with CSS. Every page is an image with text that was scanned with OCR instead of just holding text data. You can embed videos for playback or audio to irritate your unfortunate victim. You can apply digital signatures, or encrypt your document.

Who the fuck designed this thing. No document format was ever made for this. It's madness.

If I'm remembering right, RHEL is Crowdstrike's primary Linux target. And NixOS wouldn't even be a factor since it's basically just not enterprise grade.

That said, they need a serious revision of their QA processes.

I see this comment every now and then, and it always forgets the cost of the transaction, confirmation time, and of course, the need for miners to exist to process these confirmations/transactions. The energy cost is extraordinary, and the end user is taxed for the use of their own dollars.

It's not really feasible on a broad scale. Bitcoin is a holding stock, not a valid currency. Its value only increases because it manufactures its own scarcity. And as its scarcity increases, it naturally moves toward centralization since mining becomes too large an activity for the individual to reap any benefit. You can argue for proof of stake to eliminate the need for mining, but then you open the doors to centralization more immediately.

Potential ketamine addiction aside, he's just gravitated toward where he sees more money and unfluence for himself. He wanted the prestige of being a leader in tech, so he used his influence and money to build SpaceX. Then he bullied his way into the ownership of Tesla, desperately wanting to appear as a genius to libertarian and liberal minds alike, but he's never been any less of an authoritarian. When Trump rose to power the first time, he sat and watched and along with the rest of the Silicon Valley Moguls, he began to move himself into positions of influence with populist politicians, borrowing the evangelical right's playbooks and throwing himself into the spotlight no matter the reason. He pivoted off his falsified image as some kind of American self-starter into MAGA rhetoric.

Musk doesn't have lofty ideals or any real focus on the betterment of society. I don't think he ever did. He just wanted to be a real life Tony Stark and command the influence that came with it. Now he doesn't need to, because he's got Trump in his back pocket and is mostly untouchable by any normal means.
