At least for SponsorBlock you can run iSponsorBlockTV[1] on another computer on the same network - in addition to skipping sponsored segments, it also mutes YouTube’s own ads and auto-skips them as soon as it can.

I thought DLSS4 did work on Linux, and a quick glance at r/linux_gaming seems to say the same.

I agree about RDNA3 holding it back; given its specs I’m hoping its significantly cheaper than $750.

It's mentioned as upcoming in the FAQ under "How much will it cost?": "$30 on subwaybuilder.com and $40 on Steam (page is coming soon). The Steam launch won't happen for a few months after the launch on subwaybuilder.com."

Wasn’t the legal difference that Apple never said you could whereas Google did then added roadblocks?

The project readme has some thoughts about why X.Org is treated as done and why the dev forked; I think I get why the OP didn’t link that instead.

Here’s a fun thought exercise - replace Ozempic/weight loss with any number of drug/mental health condition pairs.

I also hope there’s no long term worse side effects, but I agree with pjc50 in that most of the negative reaction is actually about feeling morally superior.

Steam still exists on PC.

I have a spare-parts NAS on a Z170 (Intel 6k/7k) motherboard with 8 SATA ports and 2 NVME slots - if I put an x2 SSD in the top slot it would disable two ports, and if it was an x4 it would disable four! Luckily the bottom m2 slot doesn’t conflict with any SATA ports, just an expansion card slot. (The board supports SATA Express even - did anything actually use that?)

SATA ports are far scarcer these days though and there’s more PCIE bandwidth available anyways, so it’s not surprising that there aren’t conflicts as often anymore.

I didn’t understand at the time how much of a privilege it was that I could walk to school where I grew up (with crossing guards for the elementary schoolers, even!) and more importantly that my parents encouraged it, even if it was a bit of a hike to middle and high school without a bike.

Unfortunately we moved during high school and lived something like 15 miles from the new school; at least there was a bus.

Not even Framework has escaped from soldered RAM for this kind of thing.

I know anecdote vs anecdote is pretty much meaningless and I’m channeling “No true Scotsman”, but I find it hard to believe an actual progressive telling you that - the complaints from the progressive wing about Sanders losing the primaries are evergreen.

Other messaging platforms; the one most commonly cited seems to be WhatsApp.

I have some random Amazon Zigbee bulbs connected to my Hue Bridge; the only annoying thing is that, while they show up in the Hue app, Hue doesn't expose them to Homekit like it does its native bulbs. At least Homebridge will get them to show up.

They indeed shelved the plan {1}, and have also introduced iCloud Advanced Data Protection (their branding for end to end encryption) {2}.

There is still the opt-in Communication Safety {3} that tries to interdict sending or receiving media containing nudity if enabled, but Apple doesn’t get notified of any hits (and assuming I’m reading it right the parent doesn’t even get a notification unless the child sends one!).

I don’t think they’re suggesting that Trump should, but that there’s a good chance that he would.

I’m not sure about the Mac OS side, but at least on iOS there’s a specific entry in the information section for in-app purchases that can be expanded into exactly that pricing list.

At least on iOS, you’re given a “Hide My Email” option when you’re on a sign up page that generates the new address right when you need it.

You can read clearance hearing/appeal decisions for contractors[1] to see some of what goes into it. On the money part specifically it’s less the raw status of your bank account and more how you’re handling debt and delinquency if at all.

On a topical note, a not-uncommon issue is failing to pay income tax or file a tax return :p the result of those appeals depended on if and how the appellant tried to resolve that.

Unfortunately, about that:

“(The problem is not with how the key was originally generated; it doesn't matter whether it came from PuTTYgen or somewhere else. What matters is whether it was ever used with PuTTY or Pageant.)”

Albeit recent and optional, isn’t that a hole specifically fixed by the Advanced Data Protection option[0]? Granted, it doesn’t do much if your recipients don’t also have it enabled.

What back yard?

I unfortunately think you're dramatically overstating how many people would actually switch after they're forced to open up rather than finding some other goalpost or simply not caring anyways.

They can’t forbid discussion but they can try to make it so people visiting from HN can’t see the page; they aren’t the only ones, either, as the poster upthread mentioning jwz’s image redirect noted.

It’s an obvious strawman of arguments in favor of the iOS App Store.

Electronic check readers to take advantage of the Check 21 rules. I'm not sure how many places still have them but they were a fixture of large store checkouts 20-ish years ago when the rules came out. IIRC Walmart (and probably other stores but I have vague memories of Walmart...) even had a printer they could put a standard check into that printed the front information (date, dollar amount in words and digits, memo) for you.

That's usually the fallback method in case they can't find some way to do an electronic transfer.

AMD split off Polaris and Vega drivers last September; official ROCm support ended earlier but afaik you can still run ROCm on Vega?

Similarly worrisome for gamers is aging architectural features as devs catch up to hardware, i.e. mesh shaders in Alan Wake 2 supported in Turing+ and RDNA2+.

An example is the top level comment immediately below this thread (on my screen at least): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38721311

“No, Nvidia just found themselves in a lucky situation.”

Apple hasn’t yet figured out how to stop people from selling their used equipment.

I’ve used Visible for a couple of years now and they’re fine - I’m currently on their lower tier plan and it works well enough. I do route my phone’s traffic through a Wireguard endpoint on my home network, though, which stops the usual video throttling.

Try it for a month before porting if you can - in the end it is still an inexpensive mvno and customer service is one of the places they cut costs.
