I think all of these are nice, if priced correctly

Steam Frame needs to compete with quest, so prices over $800 are a really tough sell.
Steam Machine needs to compete with consoles, PS5 (non-pro) and Series S, so prices over ~$700 will become really tough.

Prices start becoming really good, if they manage to come it at ~$600 for Steam Frame and ~$500 for Steam Machine.

But with current hardware prices, Valve being valve and no-one can know if they want to make money on the hardware, or if they are willing to sell at cost, or if they are willing to subsidize, who knows where we will land.

hardware is fine. If you're not experienced the 3000km will fuck you though. Stuff will arise where you will need to get at it.

I've been using two laptops als "servers" for years.
well, the first one died after about 6 years of use.
But I can get at them reasonably.

tl;dr: "Fuck You, we're right, but here's a crumb from the table" but in PR-speak.

There'll be a Lan-Mode (still requiring Bambu Connect), and a Dev-Mode (which will continue MQTT, live steam and FTP).

The Writing continues to be on the wall.

Tl;dw Default config is 16gb ram, 256gb ssd
32gb ram is 450$ upgrade, 2tb ssd is 800$ Amazon prices are 120-150$ for 64gb ram or 2tb nvme ssd

So maxing out both costs 1250 for a ~300$ (retail) upgrade, if that were possible.

Is there any hint of a reason why Putin would ever be scared of Taurus missiles?
from a glance, they look very equivalent to the british storm shadows Ukraine already gets.

Not that Germany shouldn't supply, it just seems that this ultimatum is a purely political idea about the upcoming german elections.

Also the price scales wayyyy better. Steam Deck starts at 313,65€ now.

if you have less money, buy that, get an sd card, and if you enjoy it put an ssd in later.

this could be bad for mozilla / firefox.

if Google can't continue to try to increase / sustain their market share, they may stop paying mozilla to be thw default.

I wonder how you ever could "upload" a consciousness without Ship-of-Theseusing a Brain.

Cyberpunk2077 also has this "upload vs copy" issue, but doesn't actually make you think about it too hard.

Oh, I mean there's nothing there.

A Court Document shows that Yuzu got a lawyer and will answer within 60 days of 2024-02-27.

The Answer will be the interesting bit. It may indicate if they wish to fight, or if they deem it not worth the effort.

Apparently some group has broken Bambus encryption.

Apparently, as he claims, the logs reveal not only (further) licensing issues with Bambu, they also apparently send the complete Model you want to print to Bambu, which would be a huge issue for any companies using them.

What do you think?
Anyone ever checked on the size of the logs? Does it make sense that they actually send the whole Model?

/e: clarification, apparently the logs do not get sent to bambu by default on every print (even while in LAN-Mode) as it can be understood here, but all of this info is in the logs you can manually choose to send to Bambu (i.e. in the case of an issue with a print(/er) bambu is reasonably likely to ask for this).

I've just found this Optimus Gen 2 demo, and I thought it's quite interesting.

The Hands are surreal, the gait is still weird, but from what I understand it's a lot easier to walk without an outstretched joint in robotics (avoiding singularity in the kinematics).

Very curious to see if they just did the "easy" 0-80% and will kinda get stuck here, or will keep improving rapidly.

Really looks like it may be used on assembly lines in another year or so. But this is promotion, so looking like that is kinda the point.

what do we think the runtime of these is untethered?
If they have a full AI stack in them, won't they need quite a bit of compute power?

I2P, the invisible internet protocol allows for anonymous torrenting (getting movies, games, etc. without paying). It's fairly old and robust, but lacks actual people using it. Now a program that many people already use has included the option to use this.
This alone may increase the usage of this system, and make it more useful.

it can fuck up microsoft office formatted documents

everything can.
That is because Microsoft doesn't follow the 1000 page docx standards they wrote themselves.

And I will defend the decent UI against modern words ribbon-trash to my death.
libreoffice ui can certainly be improved a lot, but microsoft office is definitely worse.

Moment, "mehr als 50%" heißt ja in der regel 50,01%.
Okay, in diesem Fall sinds 54%.

Sind also fast 46% derjenigen die 2015 nach Deutschland geflohen sind, und noch in Deutschland sind, immer noch nicht erwerbstätig? Und noch heftiger, 77% der Frauen sind nicht erwerbstätig.

Findet das jemand anders noch eine ziemlich schlechte Quote?

[-] TheYang@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years ago

Well, that's neat.

But where is that really relevant? Typical albedo of anything around a solar panel seems to be like around .2, meaning that these cells which have 23% efficiency on the front, and ~21% on the back.
Solar Irradiance is usually less than 7kWh/m²day.
So this Panel could get around 1.6kWh/m²day on the front and 0.3kwH/m²day on the back.

Isn't cost way more relevant than getting a few more % efficiency?

As long as "we" (as in humanity) can't afford to put solar panels on the top of every/most surfaces that we build, it seems that driving down the cost is more paramount.
Luckily that is happening too though

Hey there.

All my scam-alarmbells are ringing, but I'd like to have a little perspective because I never got into trading with crypto at all.

A friend of mine apparently put about $70k in different crypto into masscoin.vip Then there seem to have been some hijinx with mistyped adresses, and talks with support later, masscoin.vip representatives tell my friend, that they need to fork over another 10% of their holdings, so another $7k, to validate their account or something.

This has to be a scam, right? The Money is gone, and since it was put in via crypto there is no way to recover it?
