Any examples of the 1%? Outside of a few cryptocurrencies, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a project self-identified as “crypto” that wasn’t a con

The solution is install with apt.

I checked on my machine, and out of all the packages I had on snap, only Inkscape, VLC and Slack were also available on apt. Spotify, Whatsdesk (a WhatsApp client) and Signal were among the most commonly used missing.

If you already own a decent PC, most of these games have already been released there, although later than on PS5. Only ones missing from that list so far are GoW: Ragnarok and Spider-Man 2.

Doesn’t “opening up patents” means that anyone can use the ideas behind the patent without charge? Which means that it’s actually not locked anymore, so yes it does help?

I’m also surprised that people see this kind of ads: I haven’t seen any since I removed Outlook free (after Windows prompted me to switch because the older UWP Mail app was being retired). I’m always surprised when people complain about the number of ads they get in Windows.

But that’s not the point: the point is no paid software should contain any ad.

Do you have a better source than this jpeg?

Our vestigial tail is the coccyx, and animals with tails have bones in them. Why would a vestigial tail grow at the base of the neck?

If video games were priced by hours of dev time, I could kind of agree (with the theory, in practice it doesn’t really make sense). But let’s be honest here - that’s not what he means at all.

I think it’s even simpler than that: they want a share of Google’s data, and more control about what ads they can show to their customers constantly. Their hardware platforms are okayish and sold for a quite low price, but they monetize it on ads.

I’ve looked if I could do it myself as well, but there’s basically nothing but “look at how it’s done on similar devices”. It’s fantastic to build an app to support all those devices, but it’s a bit of a shame not to provide guides so others can contribute to support it.

The list of supported devices is there (and too short, none of my wireless devices work).

Maybe OP works in noisy environments, or his device is a recent phone which doesn’t have a jack input and using a adapter is not very convenient?

Anyway, passive noise cancellation (typically, a closed back or in-ears) is more efficient in the higher frequencies: physically blocking short wavelengths is a lot easier, as any obstacle will act as a dampener. On the other hand, ANC is a lot more efficient on lower frequencies (on the opposite, it’s easier to be precise on lower frequencies, longer wavelengths). On ANC devices, both are used in tandem. And I don’t know if you’ve tried any good, recent ANC headphones these last few years, but they’ve become surprisingly good! Nothing to be compared with passive noise blocking.

but im sure there are wired headphones with ANC

I’m sure there are (although I don’t know any), but ANC requires digital processing, which is performed by the headphones itself on the signal. If you’re plugged in with a jack, that means you’ll be needing a digital-to-analog-to-digital conversion, which is objectively a loss in quality, which would have to be handled by the headphones… Besides, ANC headphones usually have several modes which can be selected from the app. Anyway, all that to say that now that we have quite to very good Bluetooth audio codecs, there’s no real upside to having a wired connection for ANC headphones, which is why most makers have moved to that.

I would go as far as to say that this is for sure an opinion.

It’s a really solid Metroidvania, with beautiful design, music and story. It’s not the best Metroidvania (my vote would go to Hollow Knight) but the game is really good. The sequel is great too!

I don’t know how far in you went: the first half-hour or so is just slow storytelling. And just like all Metroidvanias, your set of powers at the beginning is very limited and isn’t so interesting. However, the game is well enough paced that as soon as you’re comfortable using your current power set, the game unlocks a new mechanic, and it never really stops until the end. It especially shines if you’re a completionist IMO, as being able to go back to each area to explore it to 100% with the whole power set feels really great.

I didn’t get how this could be news but as it happens, this is the sequel of the game also called Lords of the Fallen released in 2014. Why they didn’t think it was a bad idea to give it exactly the same title is beyond me, however.

You might not know that because this “spice” only exists in the US and I just learned it myself, but pumpkin spice has nothing to do with pumpkin flavor. It’s called that way because it’s the mix of spices used in pumpkin pies: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, ginger and cloves.

Might be enough for touch-based interfaces though, or fingers don’t have a 4K resolution either.

There are simpler and better solutions than Sublime for that use case, IMO.

Both are text editors, but VSCode’s plugin system and various config options can turn it a fully fledged IDE for the languages of your choice.

Besides, Sublime is exactly that: good, old.

You’re comparing compiled executables to scripts, it’s apples and oranges.

The IPA is a lot more efficient in that regard! It’s international so it’s valid for all languages, whereas phonetic spelling is easier to learn but changes from language to language.
