> After that, they will move to the free version of Kagi Translate.
As a pro subscriber since March of 2024...this doesn't feel nice. So I either need to fork up another $8 a month on top of my pro subscription or upgrade to Kagi Ultimate which would cost an extra $15 a month.
Because I'm willing to assume hitting the limit is going to be a whole lot easier even using the default translation settings and my sporadic usage of the service. Its not a service I rely on, but it was definitely nice to have. I'd rather not double my monthly subscription just to have (usable)access to kagi translate.
Alright that was just the intro, rant below:
> We evaluate games based on developer communications — announcements, patch notes, DLC listings, and official roadmaps — to determine whether all planned content has shipped.
But just looking through the first few pages really has me curious as to the formula your AI cooked up because the reasoning is either vague or doesn't make sense(at least to me) why the game isn't considered complete.
Some examples:
Grand Theft Auto V Legacy (not complete, reason: Removed from storefront) what? So until it comes back to steam's storefront(which is very unlikely at least for the near future) gta5 legacy is considered "incomplete"?
Elden Ring(the base game) isn't done because DLC - "The Tarnished Pack" which consists of cosmetics for your horse, a couple new weapons and armor sets and "new classes", which because its a FromSoft game just means, slightly different starting stats and a unique starting armor set. All of which are essentially just goodies from the Nintendo Switch release coming to other platforms now. There are a few NPC invasions as well which seem to be the only legitimate changes/modifications to the original world.
I would honestly be surprised if it turns out it was written by an LLM.
If you see this comment and ever decide to give the wayland session and whatever you were trying to run another go, I'd be more than happy to try and help you fix it.
I'm not a Wayland evangelist but as someone with an old(custom built) desktop myself who has used the Wayland session since it became an option, your comment reads to me as:
"Xwayland(and by extension Wayland on KDE) is bad, I'm not going to list any specific programs I had issues with or any of the troubleshooting I tried in the several weeks I attempted to use it but for me it ran poorly and/or strangely.
I have an AlienWare PC, which should prevent any of these issues from happening(?)"
So let's say a PC builder(an individual; not a company) were to donate a PC to charity. Let's say it's built with a fairly recent MSI motherboard(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BRQSWSFQ/) 'MSI PRO B760-P' if you'd prefer to avoid amazon.
I remove all my internal SSDs and NVME drives but buy a new 1tb SSD for whoever receives the PC. I also install a Linux OS, as well as sign the secure boot keys via sbctl myself, setup ukify, efibootmgr, etc. Everything the recipient would need to switch over to another OS if they so choose.
But oh no, the donated PC landed in the hands of Johnny, a 17-year old in California.
So who's at fault here, MSI for creating a BIOS that allows for non-windows EFI images to be installed? The PC Builder(donator) for knowingly installing Linux(though not knowing where it would end up)?
This is kind of what confuses me and I'm curious what this means for future hardware sold in the US and those who build PCs for their own use or others. Most modern motherboards are "locked down" by default, but can easily be unlocked by the end-user, it may take a few extra steps or be a bit harder to find but still pretty simple for someone moderately tech-savvy.
"It's fine, the LLM just lied to you, but hallucinations and making claims based off of assumptions is just something they do and always have done!"
People don't like to feel dumb, and they don't want to feel betrayed by the same tool that gave them incredible factually correct results that one time only to give them complete and utter bullshit(that sounded legitimate) another time.
Also, yeah it feels like its everywhere these days and isn't showing any signs of slowing down(visited my parents and my dads using siri to ask chatgpt stuff now - URGHHHH) and I really hope we're both wrong
If it's so low traffic maybe whenever y'all run into each other you could just do something subtle like a visual cue like a nod or just a "hey how are you?" if they seem to be in a good mood whenever you happen to pass by each other in the workplace.
Not saying you have to be friends with this person but maybe after a few of those small interactions(and a little time) bring it up in a non-direct way...
Best case scenario if he replies to a "hey how are ya?" with "oh good, how about you?" you could casually bring up something like "oohhh, had a patient that came in with (same symptoms as the guy) - we figured out it was this. Don't see that often!"
Hopefully he's drinking at least 50 gallons of water a day, and eating tree bark seems to be a good remedy for GI issues.
Oh wait, is your coworker a human or an elephant?
wiki.lineageos.org has specific install instructions for every phone/device they support, I have no idea why you would choose to follow anything else.
just as an example, for the Nintendo switch v2(devices built after the homebrew method was patched) can be found at:
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/nx_tab/install/variant2/
There's an install guide for almost every android capable device for the last decade on the wiki!
Not like I would try to give you advice on unlocking your phone in the first place as I'm mostly clueless myself.
Maybe time to trade up or sideways? Graphene OS only officially supports Google Pixel devices anyway(for now). If Motorola could somehow recapture the magic of the Razer today with a new phone, that would be cool too!
Searching duckduckgo for 'Unlocked {device}' returns a lot of results on the shopping tab for phones on Amazon and eBay like the pixel 8/9 plus plenty of other "recent" android devices. Walmart and Bestbuy seem to still have dedicated sections for unlocked phones as well.
This is a fish shell function but you can probably get claude code to convert it to bash or zsh
function STFU
#alsa records incoming audio from the default input device for 2 seconds
arecord --duration 2 echo.wav
#alsa plays back the echo.wav of the recorded audio file
aplay echo.wav
#Ctrl+C when the target looks your way!!!
end
STFU
(Yes this is post is entirely sarcasm, except that I do use fish as my default shell.)
gamespot itself is definitely different than it used to be but the gamefaqs subdomain has remained nearly identical to how it was in the late 90s early 2000s
Though I definitely think the resources and guides Archwiki provided plus the fact that I had been distro hopping(Mint, Ubuntu, PopOS among others) the last couple years before I settled into CachyOS/Arch helped a lot.
I will say though(at least in my experience) attempting to use a tiling/dynamic WM like hyprland, sway, river, anything that depends on wlroots did not work well, which is to be expected as i dont believe any of the desktop environments I listed support Nvidia.
KDE Plasma(The default DE) and XFCE which I only used for a short while gave me the most stable and consistent environment. Generally I never promote CachyOS, but this is the first time I've seen it on the front page of HN, if you're willing to put in a little effort(i.e read through the CachyOS docs and maybe a couple pages of the Archwiki) I'm pretty sure CachyOS is the best experience "out of the box" for users with a Nvidia GPU/intel CPU/iGPU. Outside of straight up upstream Arch as long as youre willing to put in the time to configure it post install to optimize your system.
Thanks for saving me the read, I wish we(or the HN team) could flag these posts as AI-authored.
Twitter's handling of opening links in its own webview is a bit different, unless Slack, Teams, Confluence, Jira all open these browser instances within some sort of webview wrapper as well(I wouldn't think so). So its a little bit different

Looks similar and kind of makes sense with tenacity using the audacity 3 UI ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Looking back to ~2012/2013 and its seeming to be clear now that the introduction of weapon crates, the steam marketplace, and all of the other MTX in all of their(proprietary) competitve games may have been a good indication that these would be the last games Valve would develop in-house.
To be fair though and just to give a counter-example, the "clout chasers" with the $1000 knife skins is essentially the same as the bragging rights of a 4/5/6 digit steamID during 1.6 and CS:Source. Although flexing SteamID length was something I only really saw in the competitive scene and of course had a much smaller(unofficial) market.
Oh well, RIP Steam games, long live Steam software(their platform/Proton, etc) and hardware...minus the steam controller.
Would be interested to see an updated list, because as echoed by another comment...the current repository has a lot of dead/stale links.

Wait a sec, let me read your HN about section:
The only VPN that can’t spy on you is VP.NET since you can verify what is running on the servers using Intel SGX attention.
>_>
My comments are my own and do not reflect any of the organizations, or nations, I belong to unless I specifically clarify as such in a comment.
alrighty then.
Just straight up call it what it is in the title; traffic with adblockers enabled or adblocked-traffic. Otherwise this article just comes off feeling like it was intentionally written as a click/rage-bait.
To go on top of kibwen's questions; what kind of game do you think you'd like? Do you like a long movie/book that gets you heavily invested in the character?
Do you tend to prefer genres like action, romance, comedy, drama, or even sub-genres like spy films, whodunnit, slapstick over dry humor etc etc. I'm not asking for you to respond with all of these answers but it if you're looking for something that will click with you - you have a better chance using whatever genre/styles you like in other entertainment mediums.
Lastly, do you want to see what you've "missed out on" in the last couple of decades us nerds(collectively) consider the creme de le creme? Or are you looking for a game you* specifically will enjoy? Again, just something to think about.
As someone in their mid-30s whose dad got me into gaming when I was in diapers while I watched him play Hexen and Tribes 2, here are some random games off the top of my head - these will only include 'modern' games aside from roguelike/card/'programming' games, going from what I think would be "easy" to "hard" in terms of accessibility:
Portal 1/2 Terraria/Minecraft Half life 1/2(maybe at a lower difficulty) Team fortress 2(something my father still plays today) Disco Elysium Uncharted Series """ this is the point I'd consider to be somewhat difficult at this point) many of these games I recommend just becuss the developers are known for their intuitive introductions to controls, UI, gameplay mechanics, etc. I'm really not sure about Disco Elysium though you may want to research it a bit more and see if its something youd be interested in)
""" And for some personal picks if you're able to pick these games up or want something further down the road some of my personal favorites of the last decade(definitely not titles I'm recommending for a first): """
Nier Automata/Nier Replicate Baldur's gate (series) Mass Effect(1-3, the only ones that exist :) ) The Witcher 3(the first two are great as well IMO but haven't aged well visually or in terms of gameplay mechanics) Metaphor: Refantazio The 'Yakuza' series or as its now named 'Like a Dragon' Claire Obscura: Expedition 33 Red Dead Redemption(old and new)
And if you destroy any or all of these games or find yourself to be a masochist when it comes to games you can try my personal favorite series(toss up between nier):
Dark Souls(and all of the spinoffs available to PC)
I purposely stayed away from games from genres that kibwen mentioned, although I think those are much better choices than my own.
Oh and as far as controller; either a Nintendo switch pro controller or ps4/5 controller would be my go to if you don't like the feel of keyboard/mouse. A decent headset like a Bose QC37(whatever the most recent over ear headset is) or just a decent sound system(doesn't have to be a headset) as well as a decent monitor with a refresh rate higher than 120Hz...
I went on forrr wayyy longer than I expected to, but hopefully some of what I said makes sense. If nothing else just research the 'easy' titles and kibwens recommendations.
I'd just hate for you to pickup a game that just didn't vibe with and have it ruin your reintroduction with gaming. As I alluded to at the top, movies and games share enough similarities where it feels almost like someone asking "I haven't watched movies/TV/read any entertaining books in the last few decades, which movie/TV show/book would you recommend for me?"
Even if you're directing this at the user's blog posts specifically; this is a ridiculously pessimistic, sad way to view things.
I hope you're just having a bad day because if you sincerely have this greedy, cynical mindset day to day(towards blogging, software, offline/real life activities, whatever) I feel sorry for you.
IMO - if possible just peck-type(like an old lady who is learning to use a keyboard) or use text to speech/AI & editing where possible - like in emails. They shouldn't be using the left arm/hand much right after surgery anyway. If they're programming definitely not as easy but still doable.
That being said I was a lifelong Windows user up until 5-6 years ago, and while everyone else in my family uses apple devices I was never interested in using one(since I like building my own PCs :p)
Plus you can basically put it together in a variety of languages:

No I'm not affiliated with Godot in any capacity. I've just had a much better experience using it vs the other previously mentioned editors.
There's also lua love and pygame for quick 2D game projects
I would expect something like the 5080 super will have something like 20/24Gb of VRAM. 16Gb just seems wrong for their "target" consumer GPU.
