that one is a hardcoded easter egg

iirc it's something akin to R5 3600 + RX6700. 16GB of memory shared between RAM and VRAM (at most 12GB can be allocated to VRAM)

asimovDevon PS5 Relapse Exploit

half of gta 5 online revenue is from PC. They will definitely release GTA 6 for PC, maybe half a year after the console release to get people to double dip (those who bought it on PS5 and then buy it again on PC cause they prefer playing on PC)

asimovDevon Kids turned low-traffic NPR Spotify comments into a secret group chat

that's pretty cute. They must be in their late 30s by now, I wonder if they still remember doing this

asimovDevon Hijacking the PS5's RTMP stream

I paid 400e for my PS5 in 2023. For the same budget, I'd need to hunt down used deals for hardware and then suffer through using Windows (if the hardware I buy ends up even working at all) because the only game I play requires annoying workarounds to work on Linux that technically break the ToS (since they bypass the kernel level anticheat) and could potentially end up in my account getting banned. I'd rather just put my PS5 on a VLAN and enjoy hassle free gaming with some downsides like not being able to stream my game to my friends on Discord once half a year. Don't get me started on DRMs and questionable PC ports where the 60 FPS targets in system requirements are under assumption of framegen and upscaling.

asimovDevon Hijacking the PS5's RTMP stream

I used to remote play on a second user on the PS5 and then used the controller connected to my PS5 to log into my main user profile and then game from there whenever I wanted to stream something to my friend(s). That way the issue of needing to connect the peripherals to the computer was solved

asimovDevon Hijacking the PS5's RTMP stream

Sony supported PPPoE on the PS4, I wonder how many people used that (not counting the jailbreak exploit)

asimovDevon Verda (Finland) raises $189M in Series B

You should probably say that you are the founder or maybe add that in your profile description so that other people realize you are not just a passionate employee ;) Congratulations to you and everyone at Verda.

Could you elaborate on your last point about AWS? I am interested in what you mean exactly since a lot of companies in Finland fall under that sub 10M umbrella and use AWS / Azure extensively

asimovDevon Transit rewards

I sometimes take the slower and older commuter train back home from the office during "green months" as I call them (May to September) to enjoy the scenery and the ambient clickclacks of the train wheels.

asimovDevon M5 Ultra Mac Studio Review

thanks, I naively assumed when, for example, Claude Code starts subagents it loads a new instance with empty context

asimovDevon Apple Mac mini review

We've been using M2 Pro machines at our workplace and they still are fast, quiet and have long battery life even at ~85 percent of battery life. It would feel wrong to upgrade from these. 10 years ago it would've been a no brainer to upgrade a 2 year old MacBook in a professional setting but nowadays I feel like I could go 5+ years on a single Apple Silicon macbook with how light our workloads seem to be for these chips

can run multiple subagents of Qwen 27B though, right? Unless I am fundamentally misunderstanding how VRAM constraints work

asimovDevon Swift 6.4 Released

Thanks!

Interesting tidbit about not having the Foundation library. Every Swift project I worked on had to import that, so I imagine it's annoying to lose that

asimovDevon Swift 6.4 Released

Anyone have experience with embedded Swift or know any interesting embedded projects running on Swift?

asimovDevon A repo gained 3,278 stars while GitHub showed Andrej Karpathy as a contributor

I find it amusing that their excuse is that the AI agent forged the commit apparently. I don't what's worse - if that's true or if that's what they have come up with as the excuse

asimovDevon How much of F-Droid is LLM generated?

i wonder if M7 will not have elements in it that help with x86 to ARM on the fly translation that M1 had now that macOS 27 and beyond is ARM only with no Rosetta

asimovDevon XCancel service is suspended until further notice

pretty sure it was even worse ten years ago cause very active twitter users would pay for 3rd party twitter apps (maybe twitter didn't have an official app back then? ~2012-2013)

asimovDevon AI should know that mylocalhost.com – is a real domain

The OP body:

I own mylocalhost.com, never really done anything with it in the last 24 years I have owned it.

Though lately and being the curious type, I have started logging the traffic.

All I can say is I would suggest if you have ever used it as a test domain ( thanks AI for using it as a recommended "test" domain )

I would rotate any sensitive data that you may have sent it.

asimovDevon Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2026)

I recently used Gemini flash 3.7 to rebuild my old React portfolio that I made in 2022 into an Astro project after noticing how slow the React version was. It preserved the styling and functionality and made it more maintainable. Pleasant results

asimovDevon Getting 50 GB/S Back from the Apple Neural Engine

going forward also doesn't work (displays an about; page) so I am wondering if the website is using React or some other framework and the routing library is setup incorrectly, causing this.
