  There is a nearly zero percent chance that the game developers are also cloud experts

  Well yeah, that’s why you would put some cloud experts on the project besides the game devs if you’re doing things like this. It’s not just game developers working on the game.

  Doesn’t even have to be people feom the Azure team. Microsoft has plenty of resources to teach someone to be a cloud expert in other branches, they even offer certifications for outside people, surely they can manage a few of their own.

  In the Netherlands you’re just not allowed to participate in traffic while drunk, so technically you’re not even allowed to bike. No one gives a shit about that one though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scales that refuse to measure if the battery isn't brand new⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but it’s more than 0 pennies each.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vivaldi polishes its browser, adds a dashboard • The Register⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait so it’s just a design choice? I mean I get they were the first but really, who really cares about stuff like that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets a pizza⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah that doesn’t sound incredibly cheap, and also you have to factor in all the employees time used in your pizza

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What prevents Linux from being installed on mobile devices?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Nothing prevents you drom installing a linux os on an android phone, privided someone madw a rom for your device. It’s just not very useable due to proprietary drivers. Ubuntu touch exists for example, but on most phones you can’t even use the cellular antenna iirc

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Black mold growing on the dispensers at my local McDonald's⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think we’re looking up at a drinks dispenser, one where you push your cup against the metal thing to start filling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same in the Netherlands, and I pretty much never see stray shopping trolleys anywhere around here. Seems to work really well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Wars Outlaws creative director admits forced stealth sections are “incredibly punishing”, says next patch will ease up on them⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They did credit Paradox, found the image here:

  Which makes it even weirder, it’s not even ai generated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Loading currency to buy cosmetic skins in Injustice 2? You have to pay real money to do that. I did to buy the Bizarro skin.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, if it’s just cosmetic, you really didn’t have to do anything, you chose to do that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite controller?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the gyro and layout of the switch pro controller are good, but it just feels so cheap, and the buttons are way too mushy. Also doesn’t have analogue triggers. The d-pad is pretty terrible as well.

  Overall not a great controller imo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 43 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah, totally forgot about that project! Hmm well might have to start over again then :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 43 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I also loved this game on the 3DS. I’ve recently been playing the N64 version as well, and I gotta say the 3DS version is so much better. I’m not sure what it is, but movement feels a lot less precise to me in the N64 version.

  Also, I finally understand why everyone hates the water temple. The iron boots aren’t an item in this version, so you have to go to the equipment menu every time you want to put them on/take them off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has anyone tried Proton VPN?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Proton drive has a photo backup option in the app, but their gallery thing is still lacking in features. You can’t edit or crop photos, and you can’t create albums and stuff like that. It’s really just a list of photos and nothing more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avowed Runs at 30fps on Xbox Series X and S, Obsidian Confirms⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Single-player console games being 30fps is not new by any stretch

  Yeah I know, that’s why I never really got into console gaming unfortunately. As I said elsewhere, I genuinely have trouble making out objects while looking around in first-person games, if it’s running at 30fps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avowed Runs at 30fps on Xbox Series X and S, Obsidian Confirms⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but on PC you usually get graphics settings you can tune to whatever you like. I’d personally rather have a slightly worse looking game running at 60+fps, than a beautiful one at 30.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avowed Runs at 30fps on Xbox Series X and S, Obsidian Confirms⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say 60+fps is especially necessary for first-person games. I seriously have issues making out objects and other things when looking around first-person at 30fps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avowed Runs at 30fps on Xbox Series X and S, Obsidian Confirms⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The people that keep saying that should really just try to use a 144+hz monitor for a while. Surely they’ll be able to notice the difference as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes' delivers first-ever side-by-side cut of raw footage with final film⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah just checked cause I didn’t see it either, turns out ublock origin blocks it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or you can just use a different, less biased search engine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon checks out mobile gaming⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Minecraft has been running fine on mobile, even as far back as like 2012 or something when it came out.

  I remember playing it on an iPad 2, which is surely way more underpowered than the switch, and it ran perfectly fine. So it is possible. Guess they just didn’t really try hard enough?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The LLM (Mistral) randomly started speaking spanish⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was curious if mixtral is actually smart enough to complete that, but it keeps giving me blkid even though I told it, and it repeated back to me, that blk is the suffix, not the prefix.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Somehow USB disks are still the easiest and most reliable way⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m actually using Photoprism on the same truenas system to view my photos, I just already had nextcloud for the rest of my files, so I’m using that to upload. They point to the same datasets, so they share the image data. I believe photoprism is pretty similar to immich, but i haven’t used immich myself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Somehow USB disks are still the easiest and most reliable way⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Couldn’t you, theoretically, create one massive QR code containing all that data? You’d need a massive camera sensor to get the resolution required to actually decode it though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Somehow USB disks are still the easiest and most reliable way⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they’re both good for different use-cases. I use nextcloud myself on a truenas system. I sync things like my pictures to nextcloud, and delete them from my phone after I’ve sorted them into the correct folders.

  This way my data isn’t clogging up my phone and other things, is still available from anywhere (as long as my home internet doesn’t go down), and it’s still safely stored on redundant storage.

  This does take a bit more setting up than something like syncthing, though it wasn’t very difficult at all. Basically install the docker image, tell it where my data goes, and set up a new dns record if you want it publicly accessible. I personally run it through a zerotier network so I don’t have to do that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Somehow USB disks are still the easiest and most reliable way⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use Material Files (from f-droid) as my default file manager, which includes support for mounting FTP, SFTP, SMB, and webdav shares. It doesn’t handle the connection getting interrupted very well, so if that happens i have to restart the app. Other than that it’s been working great for my SMB share.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Somehow USB disks are still the easiest and most reliable way⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure the average user doesn’t even know what a “server” really is, let alone know how to set up an FTP server.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Somehow USB disks are still the easiest and most reliable way⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also a lot of desktops don’t have bluetooth

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would it be possible to run two OSs simultaneously by hibernating one of the OSs?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you tried running it outside steam through wine, you should try again using GloriousEggroll’s wine instead of default.

  Wine isn’t really made for games and (iirc) doesn’t include support for a lot of commonly used graphic/audio api’s, which GE’s version does.

  Or if it is through steam and it still didn’t work correctly, you could try his version of proton. It gets more frequent updates and some other fixes as well.

  Or you really just found a game that doesn’t work under proton, in which case you could open an issue so they can fix it at some point
