Top to bottom, then left to right.

More, but not way more - they would be licensing window IoT, not a full blown OS, and they wouldn’t be paying OTC retail rates for it.

I haven’t used dual shock so I can’t speak to that, but as far as Xbox 1/S controllers, there is no 1st party support - literally all the drivers are from some non-MS affiliated GitHub page. 360 controllers required the xpad driver as well - that isn’t 1st party support. Yes they work out of the box with steam if you are using a wired connection, but that’s because it’s going through steaminput (not 1st party either), and making the controls of the submarine dependent on being launched through steam is even more absurd. Gen 2 series 1/S controllers didn’t work via Bluetooth for a long time after they (silently) launched on most LTS Linux OSs due to the kernel missing requisite BLE functionality

That’s only assuming the sub was running windows, where Xbox controllers work out of the box. On Linux there are no first party drivers, and Bluetooth support on the 1/S controllers simply didn’t exist at the time this happened. If it was an embedded system there would be no support whatsoever.

US Army used to spend $38,000 per controller until they found out Xbox controllers were better

lol. Did this in my old building - the dryer was on an improperly rated circuit and the breaker would trip half the time, eating my money and leaving wet clothes.

It was one of the old, “insert coin, push metal chute in” types. Turns out you could bend a coat hanger and fish it through a hole in the back to engage the lever that the push-mechanism was supposed to engage. Showed everyone in the building.

The landlord came by the building a month later and asked why there was no money in the machines, I told him “we all started going to the laundromat down the street because it was cheaper”

AI isn’t supposed to be creative, it’s isn’t even capable of that. It’s meant to min/max it’s evaluation criterion against a test dataset

It does this by regurgitating the training data associated with a given input as closely as possible

Tesla still sells nearly 10x the number of EVs (BEVs) to the next most popular brand (globally).

Tesla only sold 4% more EVs than BYD last quarter

You can just point your domain at your local IP, e.g. 192.168.0.100

Maybe a riff on lutris? Not sure why though

The feature is explicit sync, which is a brand new graphics stack API that would fix some issues with nvidia rendering under Wayland.

It’s not a big deal, canonical basically said ‘this isn’t a bug fix or security patch, it’s not getting backported into our LTS release’ - so if you want it you have to install GNOME/mutter from source, switch operating systems, or just wait a few months for the next Ubuntu release

GNOME said this update is a minor bug fix (point release)

Canonical said this is actually a major feature update, and doesn’t want to backport it into its LTS repositories

Not with 64gb ram and 16+ cores on that budget

English is not my native language, and I don’t understand what “Have taken up farming.”

It means they aren’t developing software anymore because they are growing vegetables instead

They aren’t being made anymore - people are just reselling old hoarded stock

Actually, I‘m just excluding companies like yours because they are making way too much revenue on the basis of FOSS without giving back

You don’t know anything about my company? You don’t know what proportion of FOSS vs proprietary software we use, nor how much we give back lol.

It would completely break the locked down proprietary software model and break walled gardens wide open.

This is very pie in the sky. Your license idea only penalizes small to medium sized businesses. Alphabet’s 1% would just go to Chromium/AOSP, and Meta’s 1% would just go to React/Torch

You are probably better off setting up a non-profit and running traditional license fees through it into your payment union then. I can’t emphasize how much of a non-starter 1% of revenues is for any business (it’s my company’s entire IT budget, including salary) - you are basically just saying “personal use only” with more words.

1% is an exorbitant amount of money, and more than most businesses would be able to donate via credit card, so they would still have to reach out to repository owners for banking info

They would have to get in touch to figure out how to pay 1% either way, no?

The lower end Garmins are only like $20-40 more than a Fitbit (and frankly they are so much better it justifies the price)

Fitbits also only last 6-12 months - so depending on how unlucky you are with your warranty timing the Garmin likely works out to be cheaper
