- Comment on Meta Quest 3/3s XR headsets finally rooted after 2 years 6 days ago:
High probability of it being a loss leader with its specs. So if you were to buy and root it they’ll definitely lose money.
However, the bootloader unlock process is still quite dangerous so you might end up with an expensive paper weight.
- Comment on Microsoft Still Can't Say How Much the ROG Xbox Ally X Will Cost Due to "Macro-Economic" Conditions, Despite Announcing Release Date and Availability Details(Leaked prices $549.99/$899 for Ally/Ally ) 6 days ago:
In places where Steam Deck isn’t selling officially, the ROG Ally has been selling like hotcakes.
- Comment on Report: Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt your data 1 week ago:
Agile has been a mistake for the software industry. It did nothing except to give executive more avenue to force changes to the software that are being developed and in the end it’ll take a longer time to have production ready software when compared to traditional waterfall approach.

I usually put it on when I’m playing Alan Wake 2 so I wouldn’t shit my pants too hard.
- Comment on My new laptop chip has an 'AI' processor in it, and it's a complete waste of space 2 weeks ago:
I tried running some models on an Intel 155h NPU and the performance is actually worse than using the CPU directly for inference. However, it wins on power consumption front IIRC.

Is this some kind of secret Jan variant?
- Comment on Firefox is fine. The people running it are not 1 month ago:
Yep, this is why at least for me when I develop websites I use Firefox first for development to make sure that the website runs on Firefox.

It’s just me but I got bored of living during the lockdowns. It was then I realized that I’m an extroverted person, albeit quite socially anxious.

I won’t tolerate Jan slander here. I know he’s just a builder, but his life path has the most probability of having a great person out of it!
- Comment on Founder of Arkane Studios: "I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade"; impacts sales 1 month ago:
One of the shit thing is that all the games that I’ve bought in the last 5 years all has come into game pass.

Well Google are already trialing a diffusion based LLM so that wouldn’t be too far fetched.
I want to get off Mr. Bones Wild Ride 😭
- Comment on 'Xbox Hardware Is Dead,' Says Founding Team Member, 'It Looks Like Xbox Has No Desire — Or Literally Can't — Ship Hardware Anymore' - IGN 1 month ago:
I think the Xbox Ally is able to play the Series’ games. It has a GPU that’s comparable to the Series S.
However, we’re gonna lose the old Xbox games (OG & One) compatibility unless Microsoft bundles an Xbox emulator into Windows.
- Comment on AI CEO – Replace Your Boss Before They Replace You 2 months ago:
I have this sneaking suspicion that the company I work for is already ran by an LLM. The CEO is obviously using ChatGPT for everything.

Well, since the US redirected their ships to the Gulf and might set off a nuke, ya might as well ya know.
- Comment on Microsoft and Asus announce two Xbox Ally handhelds with new Xbox full-screen experience 2 months ago:
Nope, Bazzite or SteamOS doesn’t have that functionality.
Here’s a video showing how it works. If they managed to put this on Windows I’d be very tempted.
Mind that this is different from pausing the game. The OS is suspending the game state into the disk, so it’s more similar to emulator snapshots functionality.
- Comment on Microsoft and Asus announce two Xbox Ally handhelds with new Xbox full-screen experience 2 months ago:
I have an Xbox Series S for my little one and Direct Resume is such a nice QoL feature. Having 8 games always ready and only takes 3 seconds to resume even after you turned off and unplug the console is very useful. There’s some games on my handheld PC I didn’t bother playing since launching it can take a long time.
- Comment on Microsoft and Asus announce two Xbox Ally handhelds with new Xbox full-screen experience 2 months ago:
If they implemented Direct Resume I might cave and reinstall Windows on my Ally.

It depends whether you subscribe to the belief of reincarnation. There’s always a possibility that you’re actually reincarnated from an alien in Andromeda somewhere and the reason why you can’t remember anything is because the memory format of the alien physiology is not compatible with human brain.
- Comment on Let's play this game again 2 months ago:
Well isn’t that okay? If you live in a big city your need to sleep of 8 hours is spread to a lot of people so people would just need to add few seconds of their sleep.
If you’re traveling away from civilization, that’s another story.
Hmm, your side effect also doesn’t specify the organism taking the sleep burden is a human so it can spread to other animals. By virtue this is a pretty useless side effect or even can be used as an explanation on how their powers work.

I know a guy who only buys games as last resort but bought all the gooner skins in Rivals.
- Comment on Chips aren’t improving like they used to, and it’s killing game console price cuts 3 months ago:
I respectfully disagree. AMD basically said that they survived the Bulldozer debacle because of Sony and Microsoft ordering their APUs. The custom designs also have trickled down with AMD making iGPU that are desktop levels now (8060S).

I would love getting a Pixel but the 100% price premium and no official support is making it hard.

Yep, they should have just put the yearly changes on something like a season pass and timed the major release with the regulation changes to match the simulation engine development.
