Most probably EmuVR.

You also get to play NES and some other systems on a variety of old virtual TVs. :)

It's been a few years since the last time I daily drove a Linux desktop. What is the least trouble, yet "power tool" distro and setup people use nowadays?

Or: what do you use?

To be fair there are many benefits of running on the platform that has the most mindshare.

Unless they are in this space competing against k8s, it’s reasonable for them if they want to use Helm charts, to move where they can.

Also, Helm doesn’t work with ECS, so doesn’t <50 other tools and tech from the CNCF map>.

IDK, are local products and products from elsewhere other than US are not meant when one says "european tech market"?

The title says the market is in danger of going out of existence, and the article solely mentions a handful of big US companies AFAICT.

Or maybe it's a dig at Europe for having large parts of its market dominated by US companies, and I'm missing that.

I don't get this article.

Title is "Europe Is in Danger of Regulating Its Tech Market Out of Existence".

But then the subtitle says "Poorly designed laws are forcing *global firms* to leave." (emphasis mine)

Then you see a picture of an Apple Vision Pro. I've only skimmed through the article and there are 11 mentions of Apple and 12 mentions of Meta, then some mentions of X and such. These aren't even "global" firms, they are all American ones.

If anything, it sounds like they may be regulating away US products from the European market, and that's a big "maybe", which is different from what I understood from the title they chose.

That WhatsApp notification while reading a book isn't really helping sell the idea IMHO.

Windows and BSODs maybe still are trigger words for me, but IMO they are not to blame.

Windows is the platform, CrowdStrike makes a product on this platform and their users willingly install, accept all the security prompts and use it. Short of Apple-style locking users out of their own devices, there is little they can do here.

I'm not well-versed in Windows enough to be able to tell if they provide better ways and safe APIs to achieve what CrowdStrike does, but even if they did, there is no telling if CrowdStrike or anyone else would use that or not.

> but I feel that good OS should prevent a 3rd party app to cause such damage

It does? It also allows the owner of the machine to bypass those preventions, which is what CrowdStrike seem to require for their product to function.

I think the "OS should protect me from myself" is a very iPad-style expectation from computers. Personally I'm happy there are OSes that don't work this way.

> Would it happen on Linux?

$ modprobe crap-mod

I guess it would.

I don’t think that’s the real solution.

To be able to come up with a solution you’d first need to be aware of a problem, which in many such cases you wouldn’t be, until one day you are banned and lose all your accounts, and solutions in hindsight won’t help with that.

Wanted to give it a try just for fun, using the same prompts, base model and parameters (as far as I can tell), and the first 5 images that were created... will probably haunt me in my dreams tonight.

I don't know if it was me misconfiguring it, or if the images in post were really cherry-picked.

If you don’t mind explaining, what are the advantages you get over tmux?

I agree with you on a personal level, though again I’m sure if I CTRL+F replika subreddit I’d find many people describing their emotions with similar words.

Anyway, let’s say he was negatively affected by that relationship, IIRC.

Reminds me a bit of this: https://www.uniladtech.com/news/ai/man-married-hologram-no-l... , up to you if you find people developing strong feelings to inanimate objects that can’t care less, dystopic or not.

<SPOILER>

I don’t fully recall the ending but doesn’t the AI grow past the guy and “break up” with him, leaving him devastated at the end?

A bit sounds like the Replika AI drama from the last year. </SPOILER>

As a side observation, the clickbaitness of the titles seem to have increased with LTT over time.

Are they talking about it "the right way" though? I think there's a hidden cost to associate your cause with negativity, even if it will be remembered.

meta game of XSS hacks are much more fun than the game itself. :D They've accidentally invented a new genre.

I've built a hardware monitoring screen for my main/gaming PC, that displays CPU/GPU usage and temperature, RAM/VRAM usage etc. It has been very useful for me to be able to see all those stats at a glance while in game, to see where my computer is bottlenecked. Oh and also it doubles as a desk clock. :)

This article reads more like a manifesto against tech, and somewhat specifically against certain kinds of tech (face-strapped computers vs. hand-held ones) rather than a careful analysis of what happened with Vision Pro and why. It pretty much has nothing to do with Vision Pro other than it serving as a piñata for the author.

I feel clickbaited.

> they needs apps

Meta likely has the most apps and most users of any one VR platform. Sure everyone needs apps, but they needs apps the least, especially from Play Store.

Unless you see using phone apps as 90" virtual screens as a killer feature at least.

It is possible, but if sources have any apps that are not notarized (none of them are right now) they cannot be added.

Apple's own MacOS is still around, and you are able to install anything on it. Yet the world keeps spinning.

I'm no expert on the matter, but this is what Apple says:

> All apps listed on alternative app marketplaces are submitted to a Notarization process with Apple. Notarization is a baseline review that applies to all apps, regardless of their distribution channel, focused on platform policies for security and privacy and to maintain device integrity. Through a combination of automated checks and human review, Notarization helps ensure apps are free of known malware, viruses, or other security threats, function as promised, and don’t expose users to egregious fraud. Apple does not enforce the App Store's high standards for business practices and content on apps distributed through alternative app marketplaces.

So what I understand is that it's a baseline check for security, technical issues etc. Content moderation doesn't seem to be a part of it.

I guess community of it died also because of how difficult/rare jailbreaks got, with some significant time of droughts between jailbreaks. Also jailbreaks had too many downsides; some apps would be too invasive, crash the Springboard, some secure apps (bank etc) wouldn't run, iirc updates weren't possible or hard to do, "tethered" jailbreaks required restoring them each time you reboot etc. etc. Too much day-to-day fighting against the system at the end.

Alternative stores OTOH have a lot more promise, if Apple can't manage to kill them through malicious compliance. They have a lower barrier of entry, and most downsides of JB don't apply either.

Two. Delta the emulator, and a clipboard manager.

I assume there will be a few more soon, though Apple still pushes for notarization and such, making things difficult for the lone hacker developing for fun. So I don't expect as many apps as once cydia had.

It's pretty cool that I can play Chrono Trigger and Pokemon FireRed Rocket Edition on the go though :) I'd love to see Epic bringing Fortnite to AltStore out of spite. :D

I had an issue with the Download button not working the first time as well. The solution was to go back to AltStore homepage, click and go through the checkout process again, at some point it says you already are subscribed and instead of charging you again takes you to the download page, where this time the button works.

At least that's what happened for me, worth a try.

For me there was practically no sickness at all, first time I used the headset I felt a little weird after an hour, and after that had no issues playing a variety of genres, with no teleportation.

Okay except that one time playing COMPOUND. By accident I moved the analog stick to the left while turning my head to the right, and the image moving the opposite of what I expected made me feel bad. I finished the level there, and then had to go rest for a couple of minutes and stop playing VR for the day.

tl;dr for some people it almost never happens, until it does.

As I'm trying to find a more charitable point of view on her lifestyle: if this is how she prefers to spend her free time and if it doesn't impair her ability to exist as a functioning adult, is it really that bad?

I mean I personally know people who rarely interact with others other than work, and do weird things like playing with electronics and games all day, mostly just for fun and not for profit. They are often happy as they are, I'm sure many of them are on this very website.

Your sister sounds a bit like the TikTok version of the weird nerd stereotype, replace the PCBs with cosmetics and games with celebrity gossip. Their influencers sell lipsticks instead of 3d printed desk toys and mechanical switches. For me it's difficult to recognize TikTok stuff as a legitimate interest and understand her devotion to it, but then many of the hacker stuff must seem the same to the people outside of these circles.

Not that I know her situation better than you do of course, this was more of a thought experiment on trying to understand a niche that I know very little about.

My understanding is that what most people want out of a MacPad is not necessarily the Mac UI on iPad form factor, but Mac capabilities. iPad has a Pro model but iOS doesn't have a Pro edition that lets one use their iPad as a fully capable computing device like any other PC.

Basically an iPad that is not just a big iPhone but a capable computer in iPad form factor, not necessarily one that uses MacOS even.

This seems to me only partially true. Sure if everyone had one-percenter level resources they'd be more inclined to procreate, though the cultural change and the shifted focus to individualism and one's own experience in life (YOLO thinking, if I may) probably has as much or even more effect on it.

As an anecdata, most people I know are somewhere on the low-class to upper-mid class, and the ones who want kids seem to always have at least one, consequences be damned, and the ones who don't, often don't put a price tag on it and merely use it as an excuse if they feel pressured.

Also the `natural instinct` may not be a given here, since up until recently the instinct to have sex and procreate meant the same results for humans just like other animals, which no longer holds true either.

Does Unilever prevent people from using their own vaseline however they like?

One potential scenario is bypassing rate limits, enabling abuse, scraping etc. because of the large IP blocks each customer is granted, and seemingly the lack of standardization there.

The assumption of there being a finite amount of IPs to cycle for an attack doesn’t entirely hold with IPv6, and seems like not all software is configured to take that into account.
