psyonity··on A Matter Wi-Fi Light Bulb in Rust on the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W
Matter is just the protocol from my understanding, it can also be used over Thread, which is a seperate radio and made to replace Zigbee/Z-Wave.
psyonity··on The PSP feels surprisingly present right now
Because the Vita was less popular everywhere outside of Japan, which makes that there are less units available and the units cost a few times the price of a psp second hand. (in The Netherlands the PSP is just under 100 Euro second hand, usually with 20+ game discs, a vita starts at 200 without any games and often without a charger)

A lot of people also still have a PSP just hanging around, less so with the vita.

psyonity··on Wine 11 rewrites how Linux runs Windows games at kernel with massive speed gains
A lot of what Proton-GE brings from my understanding is a larger support for Media Foundation, which can't be added to Proton itself because of license issues (Proton is from a commercial company, where Proton-GE is from an individual).

So aside from the stuff that has been implemented differently, running Proton instead of Proton GE is like trying to game on Windows N editions.

psyonity··on Rise of the Triforce
I played the F-Zero game recently in an Arcade nearby, it was amazing! I was so suprised when a buddy of mine went like: "Yeah, there is just a Gamecube in this".
psyonity··on .Beat Swatch Internet Time
I _just_ got my dreamcast with PSO back online and was wondering what time it was displaying!

Thank you for helping me discover the source of this little brainwurm.

psyonity··on Microsoft forced me to switch to Linux
It was very broken for a long time. Since fairly recently you have WiVRn (specifically wivrn-dashboard on Arch) for Oculus (more supported though) and I would daresay it works better then SteamVR used to do for me on Windows
psyonity··on Roam 50GB is now Roam 100GB
The dutch news (NOS) has their Teletext available via ssh on teletekst.nl.

no lite version as far as I know.

psyonity··on A spellchecker used to be a major feat of software engineering (2008)
There is a chance the led is also used as a important diode in the circuit, plainly removing it can greatly reduce the lifespan of the device. (more common in cheaper products)

Adding a appropiate diode in it's place is advised.

psyonity··on HP Acquires Humane's AI Software
After refilling your projector ink levels, ofcourse.
psyonity··on About the browser choice screen in the EU
While I think this change is great, I am not directly convinced Safari should be included in the list by their own rules, considering the app has not been explicitly downloaded by at least 5,000 users in the prior calendar year.
psyonity··on Trackmania Nightmares
Torch, SciPy, numpy and opencv combined get close to (or over, with transient dependencies) 1GB.

When you use Conda instead of venv, the amount of cuda packages grow even more if you're unluckly.

It's all way too big.

psyonity··on Cover Agent: open source regression test generation tool
To me this feels like it would test what the code does, not what the code is _supposed_ to do.

Tests should in my opinion validate the intent behind code, not the actual function itself.

psyonity··on School lunch breaks in France can be two hours (2012)
The Netherlands, the one of the main high schools on an island called Goeree-Overflakkee, Zuid-Holland.
psyonity··on School lunch breaks in France can be two hours (2012)
When I was in school lunchbreak was 10 minutes, in the classroom of the last finished subject, from 12:15 to 12:25.
