Lately I’ve been replaying the campaign in Railroad Tycoon 2 (available for a just few bucks on GOG) and I’ve had just as much enjoyment as playing a full priced modern title. Granted it’s got pretty timeless 2d(ish) graphics and a studio recorded bluegrass soundtrack at a time when most games just opted for midi soundtracks. It’s even got a complete stock market simulation where every action you take affects your company’s stock value, and you as an individual can manipulate the market to benefit your company and vice versa. I’ve had particular enjoyment by personally selling a bunch of stocks to artificially depress the value of another company right before attempting a merger. That and trying to survive margin calls without being forced to sell my 90% stake in every single railroad company that inevitably tanks the value of every single railroad in the game

Pretty dang good for a nearly 30 year old game!

Are you trying to tell me that this doesn’t look amazing? Look at those lovely hills and fjords! I think I even see a fox poking it’s head out

The client was, so I ran the command for them to format the full 128GB as FAT32

I have a client that does HVAC work who needed help preparing a 128GB flash drive for loading firmware onto high end thermostats. Quickly ran the command to format as FAT32 because that’s what the thermostats require (and he indicated the firmware files would exceed the 32GB limit in the GUI)

My interpretation is less about pandering to the perceived majority and more about avoiding drawing negative attention from the Trump/Musk administration which is clearly very petty and very receptive to virtue signals. Do they kiss the ring? They get special treatment. Do they do something perfectly within their rights that Trump doesn’t like? He’ll find some way to make them hurt for it and take whatever concessions they offer to avoid being hurt

This one’s my favorite

So with datacenter GPUs (excellerators is the more accurate term, honestly), historically they were the exact same architecture as nVidia’s gaming GPUs (usually about half to a full generation behind. But in the last 5 years or so they’ve moved to their own dedicated architectures.

But more to your question, the actual silicon that got etched and burned into these datacenter GPUs could’ve been used for anything. Could’ve become cellular modems, networking ASICs, SDR controllers, mobile SOCs, etc. etc. but more importantly these high dollar data center GPUs are usually produced on the newest, most expensive process nodes so the only hardware that would be produced would be similarly high dollar, and not like basic logic controllers used in dollar store junk

Given they send the same message every time without a clear angle for the scam I almost wonder if it’s less about scamming and more about giving Lemmy and the Fediverse at large a chance to improve its mod tools before really nasty spam starts taking hold

When my child started holding her breath when tantruming the doctor made sure to tell us not to worry and that if they manage to hold their breath until they pass out they’ll start breathing as soon as they go unconscious. Kids are wild

But Conservative voices are being silenced!

That is super cool in context! Thank you for the detailed explaination

It’s super easy to forget but Ubuntu tried to do it back in the day with Convergence as well, and amusingly this article also compares it to Microsoft’s solution on Windows Phone. It’s a brilliant idea but apparently no corporation with the ecosystem to make it actually happen has the will to risk actually changing the world despite every company talking about wanting an “iPhone moment”

Apple would be in a prime position, they’re entire ecosystem is now ARM based and they have the chips with enough power. But it’s not their style to do something cool to threaten their bottom line. Why sell one phone when you can sell phone, laptop, tablet, desktop separately?

Let’s be real, Apple’s biggest risk would be losing the entire student and young professional market by actually demonstrating that they don’t need a Mac Book Pro to use the same 5 webapps that would work just as well on a decent Chromebook (if such a thing existed)

I probably should’ve been more specific. What’s this platform I’m looking at and what’s the significance of these 3d models exactly?

Both WordPress and Ghost support federation to some degree, so that would also enable interaction via the Fediverse!

Everyone I know who has a deck absolutely loves it

What am I looking at exactly?

Yeah whatever happened to that? That was such a good idea and could have been absolutely game changing if it was actually marketed to the people who would benefit the most from it

Sounds like you’re describing pure HTML5

JavaScript partially took off due to HTML’s limited functionality at the time. This was also around the time that web media was becoming really big, which before HTML5 it wasn’t easy to integrate into a webpage without turning to extra libraries or extensions

Edge is actually pretty decent. Native vertical tabs, M365 SSO integration, native multiple profiles with quick switching, preinstalled on your work computer and will work with anything that “only works in chrome”

Obviously this is ignoring the obvious downsides such as assisting Microsoft’s search, browser and platform monopolies, tracking data sent to Microsoft, etc. etc.

Looks like
