If you consider scraping a threat then yes plain HTML might as well be giving up. The advantage of new reddit for that is quite clear: they can collect a bunch of data about your browser before deciding if you are a bot and if the rest of the page should load. The embedded recaptcha call in the screenshots is a pretty good hint. I suspect blocking trackers on new reddit will break as soon as the scrapers move over.

As for why they don’t just kill old reddit: a significant chunk of their active posters use it and are attached to it. So if they kill it entirely they will lose content. Posters are of course logged in so this change is less likely to affect them.

I hate Facebook as much as anyone else but this is like comparing apples to a modern commercial airliner. One of these was only a movie. The other was a combination of several things: a research project to try and find ways to drive the cost of manufacturing consumer VR headsets down (this is a giant black hole for money), an attempt to produce said hardware, an attempt to subsidise the price enough to get people hooked, and an attempt to build a complex piece of software for the whole thing. The software in question had to run on the last several generations of quest hardware not just the most recent one. The hardware in question was some Qolcomm mobile SoCs with questionable graphics that were showing their age running on a battery. To make matters worse this was all in VR so you needed high enough looking resolution per eye at at least 90Hz. If you miss those targets the customer may start vomiting which does not sell product. Oh and you can’t easily increase your thermal or power budget by making the thing heavier because that will increase fatigue from wearing the product.

The other thing is a 2D movie rendered ahead of time so that time spent rendering each frame doesn’t matter.

The metaverse push was stupid but I don’t find it terribly surprising that trying to pull a whole industry out of your ass so you can have a monopoly on it is a bit very pricey.

If Nvidia deprecates your driver you’ll be up shits creek on just about every distro unless you already used nouveau.

Except the last arch news post is a month ago about virtualbox. I’ve blindly run pacman -Syu for years without issue

Aaand its dependent on HP print cartridges. This is a hard problem but the dependence on HP will probably backfire

Having been to the supermarket recently Reese’s does in fact sell fourth of July “limited edition” peanut butter cups. They aren’t firework shaped though. They are just taller.

After going through the linked threads. Discussing graphene OS or any other ROM on r/privacy will get you banned. WTF‽

Arch just seems to work. Though I am also not seeing a single distro in this thread listed as having issues.

On the one had great game on the other hand when I start playing it I forget to sleep

I assume it sells if they are changing capacity allocations

Intel and AMD have prioritized capacity for server CPUs, and the supply for PCs has become less … what PC players can get in Q2 is much less than the volume we got in Q1.

Its also worth pointing out that TSMC is a bit booked right now and Intel has its own fabs. So if you need a server CPU you may have to buy from Intel if you need it soon.

Allegedly Intel’s CPU performance is improving relative to AMD so it may be getting better.

Intel and AMD aren’t claiming shortages. They are switching what they are manufacturing. Companies downstream of them in the consumer space are reporting shortages.

Beyond All Reason is free, open source, and a good strategy game. They are still rebuilding the campaign though.

There are two parts of this problem:

1. If you are connected to the grid and using it you need to pay for it somehow. This is not a capitalisim thing this is a maintenance issue. Deploying lots of rooftop solar reduces the amount people are paying the grid operators for the same infrastructure as before while they are still using it. This could be solved by making the grid operators public utilities again and charging taxes instead of billing electric rates. Either way rooftop solar owners are going to need to pay grid fees unless they are entirely disconnected from the grid (this is rarely ever the case).
2. It creates issues where generation may outstrip load as well as transmission and storage capacity. A lot of this can be solved with more investment but if you are earning less of power sales and still need to maintain everything this can be financially challenging.

There is also a third problem where home solar isn’t centrally planned resulting in cases where utilities need to delay homeowners’ solar installations while they figure out grid capacity.

That relies on them not already being full and enough of them existing

I was thinking of the external ones which aren’t default exposed

The reason to eliminate door handles that Tesla and others typically give is aerodynamic efficiency. Granted there are other bigger aerodynamic problems. gestures at the rest of the fucking truck

Unfortunately it has a use. Microsoft discontinued WordPad

gaff tape

It has a mobile SOC which thermally throttles pretty aggressively, memory capped at 8gb, and a pair of confusing USB-C ports one of which is limited to USB 2.0 speeds.

I’m my experience you still see crackheads with the cameras.
