another_kel··on What I learnt roasting 200 landing pages
It's not since the iphone 12 mini was released
another_kel··on AMD Reports Q1 2021 Earnings
Look at slide 5 — they are still using system memory instead of reading directly to gpu. Although ms rep did say that direct streaming is being worked on[1]. Also we still don't know details on nvidia's proprietary rxt-io. But I wouldn't call that solved. [1] — https://imgur.com/a/fHnLLQo

Also there are potential problems with x86 pc's not being able to match ssd->gpu streaming speeds of custom architecture consoles.
another_kel··on Twitter is blocking tweets that criticize the Indian government
>If Indians believe that they need wider free speech rights or other protections, they need to change their political figures and laws accordingly

And then twitter in India won't ban people just like it does in the US. Oh wait...

another_kel··on Microsoft buys Nuance for nearly $20B
Microsoft also owns Obsidian, that recently announced Avowed[1] which looks really similar to Skyrim. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3QkO8fy3tg
another_kel··on It Can Happen to You
By the way, does anyone know whether red dead redemption online has the same problem? Maybe the issue was fixed for the newer game but they decided not to update gta repo?
another_kel··on The largest study to date on the genetic basis of sexuality (2019)
Intelligence or height is a spectrum too, yet we can probably explore existence of such genes. You just need to think in probabilities.
another_kel··on Waymo CEO dismisses Tesla self-driving plan: “This is not how it works”
How much value is there really? The gap between paying a driver and using cutting edge tech is super thin at best. Don’t forget that you also need to buy brand new vehicles and compete with Uber/taxis.
another_kel··on Getting Started with Signal
FYI: Telegram checks all these boxes.
another_kel··on GNOME has no thumbnails in the file picker and my toilets are blocked
There's also QuickLook on Windows 10 store which does the same thing. https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9NV4BS3L1H4S
another_kel··on Vaccines Are the Safest Medical Procedure We Have. Make Your Wager Wisely
How many precedents we have of a potential vaccine found out to cause serious harm? Asking seriously. Is there any studies/stats?
another_kel··on Developer and Power Users Tool List for Windows
I'd add UELI[0] — probably the best alfred style launcher. Does almost everything including Everything integration. Also this script[1] for AHK to quckly jump from "Save as" window to folder currently opened in file explorer.

another_kel··on Tips for a Better Life
> The notion that "real men don't dance" (like real men don't eat quiche) is harmful to many individuals because it's become internalized as a quality of themselves due to identity and not due to actual preference.

Yeah toxic masculinity sucks. Both as a thing and as a term.

another_kel··on Fantasy UI
Upon seeing the title I was hyped up but unfortunatelly it's just another yelling dude complaining about surface level stuff being not the way he likes.
another_kel··on Why can’t you buy a good webcam?
4k on 27inch requires you to do 175%. 200% is too big.
another_kel··on Why can’t you buy a good webcam?
>Windows scaling looks like crap

Huh? I'm using LG's 27 inch 4k and scaling looks good. It can bug and force you to relaunch app but that's not something you encounter often.

another_kel··on Facebook Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp Outage
Because few people care about privacy but many care about UI, UX & features. Telegram is better there than any other chat app by a susbstantial margin.
another_kel··on Bypassing Firewalls in macOS Big Sur
At least you’re stuck on a Mac. I do motion design and I’m stuck on windows because of stupid Apple vs nvidia beef and apple only allowing you to have a good gpu if you pay for Mac Pro with Xeon you don’t need and expensive memory you don’t need.
another_kel··on Notion Timeline View
You might like obsidian. It’s a note taking app that’s markdown based and saves files in a local folder. Allows you to do cool linking between pages and stuff. Even has the auto push to github plug-in. Only disadvantage is that unlike typora wysiwyg functionality isn’t implemented yet.
another_kel··on Apple just kicked Fortnite off the App Store
>- forbid you to just add the 30% to your price on iOS compared to other platforms

But google does exactly that for their Youtube Premium(and Youtube music). I'm sure this isn't prohibited.

another_kel··on The AirPods Pro “Rattlegate”
It's hardware 100%. I had that thing on my left one first only in noise cancellation and close to max volume. But then I dropped it onto asphalt and that thing became loud af in any mode on any volume. Doubt that the drop affected the software.
another_kel··on Russia blocks ProtonMail
You have to use vpn to access the website which contains the web version but only desktop installer. The app itself works just fine. Futhermore it can be downloaded from W10 or OSX app store with the only limitation being lack of autostart.
