Team-based shooters like Overwatch 2 emphasize coordination and synergy, making them ideal for players who enjoy strategic planning with friends. For fans of fighting games, Tekken 8 and Street Fighter 6 offer refined mechanics and a strong competitive community.
What do you mean, DOA? It's been in active use for years now.
As far as I know, "2.0" is just a marketing term batching several extensions standardized since 1.0 (and simplifying feature queries "are extensions X,Y,Z supported" to "is 2.0 supported"), not unlike Vulkan does with their extensions.
As long as it's a work computer, what does it matter if it's his current computer or not? Remember that we're talking about an infostealer, it got his credentials and "that's it" (that's gravely serious).
> My understanding of the memory access provided by fbdev is that it's an extremely simple API.
Maybe some of fbdev are like that, but most of them are not. They use vga/vesa interfaces to get a real video memory and write into it. A text console is also using vga video memory to write character data into it.
I still wonder do there any ways to use VGA at its full. Like loading sprites into invisible on the screen video memory and copying them into their right place on the screen. VGA allowed to copy 8 of 4-bit pixels by copying one byte, for example. Were these things just dropped off for a nice abstraction, or maybe there is some ioctls to switch modes for read/writes into video memory? I don't know and never was interested enough to do a research.
> In other words an outdated abstraction that's still useful so it's kept around.
Yes, it is kinda like this, but the outdated abstraction is realized on video card, kernel just gives access to it.
In Linux fbdev is more like a fallback device when drivers for a specific video card are not accessible. fbdevs are used to make a text console with more than 80x25 characters. Video acceleration or opengl can work on fbdev only as a software implementation.
That’s why I mentioned services like Wix. They host your site and give you an online page builder, then you just point your domain at their servers. It’s basically just Geocities, but without the stigma. I believe Square runs one that is fairly popular, and there are others.
No more technical skill is required to use these service than is required to use Instagram, but the difference is that Instagram takes away all control from their users while these services give their users control over everything (except of course that hosting millions of restaurant websites lets these services collect a lot of data about the visitors that they can sell behind the scenes for extra profit, of course).
Toucan did take off; it's fairly well known, and if their website is anything to go by they have hundreds of thousands of people using it.
It translates on a per-word basis, which means that the translations are often simply wrong due to a lack of context. Nuenki doesn't translate single word "sentences" by default, despite me spending a few days trying to improve the quality, because there just isn't enough context to go off of.
The flip side of that is that it's free, while Nuenki needs to pay for the cost of translation.
I've got ~20 paid subscribers. People on HN seem to love it, and most of my users are from here, while capital-L language learners are hard to market to. There's a lot of AI slop in language learning, and I'm really not good at marketing!
Apple has the opportunity to add “extra security” features like disappearing messages, or to treat certain chats the same way they treat your web history (back this chat up, but require my passcode.) For the latter feature one can argue that it’s too advanced for the ordinary Apple user. But disappearing messages are a common security feature in virtually every messaging app, and Apple still won’t deploy those.
I used to think this was because they were intimidated by law enforcement, but they claimed otherwise. The recent UK attempt to backdoor Advanced Data Protection has made me believe them a bit less.
They just won the market because historically they reused existing locking bricks concept from a company called Kiddicraft, found a way to make it more lockable... and patent it before the original company and other companies could implement it.
We can say that they became famous half fir engineering reason, and half from their legal department...
Why would you rebuild the site every time an editor updates a page? Just update the page that was edited. Even better, don't pre-render anything until the first time it's requested, then render, serve, and cache it.
We are Lightdash, an open source BI and analytics dashboard. We have recently closed our series A and are actively hiring for senior full-stack engineers with experience in Typescript+React+Node+SQL. Bonus points for experience in data-related companies/projects, or being a founding engineer at a startup.
We are a remote-first company, with our team members currently distributed all over Europe.
We are hiring for two roles: product engineer and customer engineer. The requirements are basically the same, but the latter requires a bit more customer interaction. You can find all the details and apply here: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/lightdash

Most of the industry and most series C/D startups are like that. It’s a sad state boys and girls. Once you’ve been here long enough, disillusionment sets in. Corporate greed, (em)powered by shareholder greed, takes top priority.
You wouldn't sue across jurisdictions, though? This would be an Australian suing under Australian law in an Australian court, potentially even an Australian entity.
On the other hand, I'm also sad that I don't longer have a computer interface like I had from 1995 - 2010, i.e. that everything is webflat and image-heavy. So weighing the timeline options, I'm not sure I'd pick the look and feel of the post-optimal time frame on a given day ;)
Because, for now, those non-nuclear-capable states weren't interested in becoming nuclear-capable. On a standard PWR (the most common type of civilian industrial reactor) cooking military-grade plutonium is easy: charge it, let it start ('diverge') and then run, all as usual, then shut it down early.
My system is very similar to yours. I’ve got a UHD player, XBox, Plex Server, and a half-dozen retro gaming systems in the mix. But apparently I'm not as patient as you (and others that responded) are.
I find 10 seconds to be intolerable and unnecessary. I’m old enough to have been spoiled by the analog world where power meant you were ready.
Not only is the time-to-wait painful, occasionally the HDMI handshake fails or the TV powered on quicker than the receiver’s signal was output and its input selection “picks” the wrong input or wrong display settings. So now you have to consider the order you’re powering things up, because the TV is “smart” and if you tell it to choose an input that isn’t ready, it’ll self-select one it thinks is ready.
And if I’m using HDMI-ARC, which I frequently do when using an over-the-air signal, if the TV powers on sooner than the receiver, the TV falls back to its own speakers. So now I’m stuck navigating the TV menu to get the audio through my SVS speakers instead of the ones in the TV.
Occasionally my TV has an “update” and then its apps have updates and then the update presents a new “user agreement” with all the data harvesting options pre-selected. If I don’t use my system frequently, two of the devices in the chain may want to update!
And after all that, if I’m watching physical media I then have to wait for the disc to be read and navigate through forced ads or trailers or piracy warnings. If they aren’t forced, I still have to intervene to skip them and get to the menu. But don’t select anything too fast on the menu! It has its own animations it wants you to watch before it will show you what options you have.
And all of that whining doesn’t even cover the wasteland of options available to remote control and make sense of the Rube-Goldberg AV system. The best option (Logitech Harmony) bailed leaving consumers with nothing but the Chinese schlock that hollowed out the market in the first place.
