The upgrade to 90 Hertz is really good for a non-obvious reason: In the Steam Deck userbase, the "Golden 40", playing games at 40fps and the screen at 40 hertz, is a pretty well-liked trick…

fair enough, then substantially increased taxes on devices that are sold non-repairable to price in the externalised costs on the environment?

Didn't that happen because Nvidia bought physx when it was the cool new promising tech around and gimped it on anything non-Nvidia?

The readme for this project states that it supports fish, does it replace the prompt?

I've been a pretty heavy user of phind and have been very satisfied! Haven't been using it to write code for me but to ask about features and docs and it's been pretty incredible.

Eh, with value for money when getting a usable config for a macbook pro with 32gigs of ram and at least a terabyte or 2 of storage, you're looking at prices that are well above the framework to t…

Nah, I think it's perfectly fair to charge more for a mac version of a program, especially if it's a donation funded open-source one. If you can afford a macintosh, you're more likely t…

Couldn't submit the original source since the link is the same as for the 7.0 release and HN prevented the "duplicate" submission

Oh wow, LPCAMM sounds like a dream! According to the article this form factor is incompatible with normal CAMMs, let's hope that gets figured out and standardized before long. (And actually gets…

Oh, interesting. Are the new dell CAMM modules better in that regard?

Did you undervolt / clock it, or is that stock behaviour?

For such a low-volume company, the prices are very ok! Still expensive for budget-constrained buyers of course, but not more than others in their segment. The ability to order without RAM or SSD makes…

I wonder how it is on those linux laptop companies like tuxedo or system76. I know tuxedo and starbook etc. are just rebadged clevos, so they probably can't afford whole teams for hardware /…

Hey now, we still have that GitHub arctic code vault.

I think in principle this is a good idea, getting actual usage patterns not just from a loud minority seems very useful to the people making the OS. As long as they don't collect egregious stuff …

It's very likely that at least at launch they weren't making much if any profit on the 64gig model, instead looking to sales on the steam store later on as a sort of loss leader. You're…

(I submitted this) It's looking increasingly likely that valve's work on a standalone VR headset is continuing. It's super interesting to me, because even though I don't want to l…

Not necessarily. Software support can just mean security updates, which would already be great. Newer versions can also roll out features dependent on hardware strength only to devices that have the n…

The timeline mentioned in the post displays a scary lack of professionalism from Valve. For a full RCE (with full chain required to even be acknowledged!), taking over a YEAR to fix it and then having…

I don't think it's a big deal, and them going all-in on flatpak for user-facing GUI applications makes sense to me. If the resources freed up by this go towards improvements to the base OS a…

I wouldve just had them change the shipping address, that sort of album / canvas is the stuff you as parents will be cackling over for decades to come :D

Tumblr said they'd work towards ActivityPub a couple of months back as well, I wonder if that work will ship at some point soon. As much as you have to be skeptical with anything to to with faceb…

Oh wow, I didn't look at the 14 inch model. 50ppi does sound like a noticeable difference if you're used to it.

The framework does 2256 x 1504, the 13,3 inch macbook pro does 2560 x 1600. Doesn't seem like that large of a difference, especially at that screen size.
