Is it any fun?

I’ve heard mixed reactions because of the gameplay type, but dunno if I should jump on the buildup

Just last april: https://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=220436

The changelog looks small but the improvements were huge, plus the usual community content update in summer that followed.

TF2 actually suffered from so much stutter until the very recent 64 bit update along with replacing OpenGL with Vulkan

Now I get a clean 300-400 FPS at 1080p which feels insane to me lol.

I actually hate this video so much because it was one of the only notable ones that properly explains how zones, records, and TTL work, and that DNS isn’t just some simple name resolution.

It’s like being forced to use Arch because it’s the only distro that has the latest package available

disgusting lol

Reject modernity

Return to C

Men have greater sensitivity to fine detail and rapidly moving stimuli

Looks at every first person shooter demographic

Warthunder lol

2024 I finally tried some Bluetooth headphones after maybe 10+ years.

Still using SBC by default, still no duplex HD audio, and still static driver noise at idle.

What is even the point lol. SBC-XQ only solves the first problem which is still inferior to even the cheapest of quality 3.5mm cable.

Even my Nintendo DS sounds better and it’s limited to 32Khz audio lol.

I actually got flagged on reddit for a joke comment I made with a 3 liner code block that had something like thread.kill()

It thought I was promoting violence lol

I think it only looks cool as an accent or whenever it has a proper diffuser to highlight a key spot like certain RGB fans with a case that has a clear front or side.

Then you can go set the color and brightness to make a theme.

lemmy.world users when lemmy.ml user don’t immediately suck up to political propaganda

There’s a reason why having both world news communities from both instances is a good thing. You’ll receive a much wider range of sources and bias, as well as the perspective of people who don’t completely agree with you.

Staying within on instance community creates an echo chamber like reddit. There’s even such a wild difference within lemmy.world between c/Politics and c/News, despite them often posting similar news and info.

Honestly DCTs make up for it, especially when your customer base is mostly people who don’t know how to drive anyway.

Using a manual is easy, but using it to go fast can actually be pretty hard. You have to time everything right, compensate for a bunch of conditions, coax the shifter because its using synchros, feather the clutch accordingly, heel-toe downshift correctly, etc. It’s extremely rewarding and useful if you actually want to have complete control over your car, but I doubt your average rich guy is gonna want to put that much effort into driving.

Manual shifting a modern Lambo would just be such a chore with how fast the RPM changes too (plus the loss of power from clutch would be even more noticeable). Current high end manuals just choose to stay with 6 gears so the gap stays comfortable, but you obviously lose some efficiency.

DCTs will do that all for you, the only thing you lose is a mechanical shifter (which if you’re into manuals you very much miss lol) and the ability to do some clutch tricks (ie loss of some mechanical controls because its automatic).

Now putting a regular old torque converting automatic transmission into a sports car is a waste (and has many examples of such). They are very slow because they aren’t deigned to rapidly change gears like you can in a manual. Even a CVT would be better from a practicality standpoint.

I shouldn’t be saying this online, but I’m not lactose intolerant and I very occasionally drink black coffee which does give me the runs.

That being said, I only take it if I have something really important that I wanna be fully awake for, but only if its within the next 1-2 hours because I don’t wanna be 3 hours into something feeling like a pressurized gas bag lol.

Eating food before or alongside coffee can help mitigate this effect, but most people have it in the morning with breakfast which is usually a light meal so it doesn’t stop all of it.

Also the anxiety probably comes from the increased heart rate alongside a mental stress factor. If you’re not worried about something, you’ll feel awake but a bit lax. But if you’re already nervous or anxious, coffee will multiply it.

I remember spending entire days trying to break the horrible ROM protect on those pieces of garbage when they first started popping up at every school district. Google got wise fast and separated write protect into its own software only flag inside the organizational stuff for any Chromebooks linked to a domain.

I did a nicer one recently which was a samsung chromebook which involved completely disassembling the entire thing and removing the heatsink just to be able to remove a tiny ass piece of conducting electric tape to disable write protect.

Even after that I had to very carefully rewrite the shitty google bootloader with libreboot if I wanted to run literally anything else without making a google approved kpart file which would only run on google’s compiled kernel.

ActiveX 2.0

Every old ass exploit and C2 targeting internet explorer is gonna dig itself out of the grave lmao

I’m rocking a desktop octagon with two monitors with all the fancy window animations on and still using less ram that windows on idle lol.

At first I thought this was a legit ban but it actually looks more like an error message similar to 404 lol

No that’d be NULL and VOID lol

Typing addresses in ipv4 is ingrained into my brain, but zero NATing with ipv6 is magical.

EXT4 watching NTFS solve its fragment problem by upgrading to SSDs instead of upgrading their allocation algorithm.
