- Comment on Apple’s first Mac mini redesign in 14 years looks like a big aluminum Apple TV 3 weeks ago:
People treat it like a mistake but not be able to use the mouse while it’s plugged in is the entire point of the design. Right or wrong the Apple designers thought a cord drag was a bad experience and designed to prevent it.
They probably looked at their target audience and realized there was a certain percentage of folks that would just leave the mouse on the cord 24/7 and wanted to prevent that.
- Comment on What Ever Happened to Netscape? 4 weeks ago:
The monopoly position helped for sure but I think it’s glossed over that at one point Internet Explorer was simply the best web browser on the market. It’s was only after years of mismanagement by Microsoft that it gained the reputation it has now. But there was a point in the late 90s early 2000s where Netscape was a super buggy mess and Internet Explorer was the best browser on the market.
That was true for Chrome as well, when that first hit the market it was a light and amazing browser. There were a lot of technology savvy early adopters for Chrome.

Don’t they already use FSR on the 5?

Interesting article from on of the co-founders of StackOverflow.
- Comment on Bitwarden has launched a new authenticator app 6 months ago:
It really depends on your threat model. It’s not a one size fits all thing.
For instance in some threat models you shouldn’t have TOTP auth and passwords on the same device, let alone the same app, but the vast majority of people are not going to carry two devices because of how inconvenient it is.
- Comment on Bitwarden has launched a new authenticator app 6 months ago:
This even works with some apps that hide the standard part - like Symantec VIP - it’s possible to extract what they are doing and use a standard TOTP app instead of VIP.

Quick addition, I think for the messy argument the way I would articulate it for folks running servers is it helps you move from pets to cattle.

How will they survive such a thorough slamming?
I can’t wait until we are on the other side of the slammed. I am sure it will be replaced by an equally annoying word choice.

- Comment on Analogue is shipping its TurboGrafx console and restocking Pockets 11 months ago:
To give an opposite take, I bought my pocket and haven’t done a damn thing with. It’s a bit of a project to get the firmware and games on it so it’s kind of just sitting there.

- Comment on How Crash Bandicoot Hacked The Original Playstation | War Stories | Ars Technica 11 months ago:
PlayStation 2 software is distributed on CD-ROM and DVD-ROM. In addition, the console can play audio CDs and DVD movies, and is backwards compatible with original PlayStation games. This is accomplished through the inclusion of the original PlayStation’s CPU which also serves as the PS2’s I/O processor, clocked at 36.864 MHz in PS2 mode.

Yeah holy shit, fuck this thread
- Comment on Starfield players pirate the DLSS mod after the developer locks it behind paywall 1 year ago:
If it’s so trivial to do why doesn’t everyone do it on their own?
If it’s any easy mod to replicate it seems like it won’t have much self life as a paid mod.

Isn’t frame generation dependent on upscaling?
Maybe I misunderstood them but the Digital Foundry guys were just making this point in regards to FSR 3, which is also a frame generation technology. They were saying that you also need to implement FSR 2, as the upscale techniques were used to drive the frame generation. Might not be the same for the Nvidia side of things.
- Comment on Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 - Official 2023 Announcement Trailer 1 year ago:
Immersive Sim, which is distinct but often kind of vague in its definition, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immersive_sim.
The first game is considered one.
- Comment on Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 - Official 2023 Announcement Trailer 1 year ago:
They don’t have a history of developing system heavy games / immersive sims.
They seem to specialize in very linear narrative experience that are extremely light on gameplay systems. Walking sims is what people like to describe them as.
