That’s not the same unless something has recently changed. The scheduling just stops it from scheduling them during the day, it doesn’t make sure everything downloads in a single night.

And even then, that’s not a “do all it right now” button

Now it would be nice if they could add a download all updates button (if only for Steamdeck)

Going into that download screen and telling 20 games to download now before I’m going on a flight or something is a pain in the arse

Nix and Snap are kind of oddly similar

Now that’s a spicy quote

The software isn’t really the hard thing about these companies, the customer and provider UIs are nothing special and they achieve their scale using fairly industry standard event driven tools and cloud compute. They all talk a lot at industry conferences, so it’s no secret really.

Ensuring a restaurant will make the food for an order, ensuring a delivery person shows up to collect it, ensuring that food makes it to its destination in the same condition it left the restaurant, ensuring everyone gets paid at the end.

Preventing any of that from going wrong and handling it when it does is where the value of these companies lies.

Who is going to step in if a restaurant starts ignoring orders, or a driver starts eating the food, or a customer does a fraudulent chargeback?

Then there’s the money issue: where does the money go when people pay? Who owns the merchant bank account? Does every driver need a merchant bank account? How is tax accounting handled?

You can’t use cash for this system as both the driver and restaurant need to be paid (and TBF, whoever is paying for hosting the back end servers), and the driver won’t necessarily go back to that restaurant

Or a cabal of IKEA enthusiasts

Not necessary preppers as that is someone who’s motivation is to mitigate some hypothetical future bad thing happening

I think most self-hosters are doing it out of a combination of technical exploration and mitigating real issues that exist today, e.g. cloud service outages or market exits causing something previously bought to be useful to become a temporary brick or permanent e-waste. Well, and cost in some cases, no one particularly enjoys having an extra bill for hosting.

I miss the keyboard screen series of Logitech stuff, I held onto my G510 a lot longer than I probably should have and only really retired it for something much nicer to type on around 2020.

If Logitech had released something like their G915 but with the screen, I’d have got it in a heartbeat. Even though game support had long dwindled, it was still good for media player feedback, system stats and IIRC there was a third party way of getting notifications from some sites to show up.

I guess smartphones kinda do most of that better these days… Well excluding the system stats, but that was always the fallback if nothing else was worth showing

That was always allowed

At this point, I’m just looking at all this as an interesting social experiment on sunk cost fallacy

I wonder how long they can go without delivering on anything

Genuinely surprised to see this exists, SOLIDWORKS seems to always be in the same “hard no” category as Adobe software in every one of these kinds of threads I’ve seen over the years. This is literally the first time I’ve ever seen a response with a potential solution.

I wonder how well it works (Just out of curiosity, I don’t do CAD myself)

If it is a computer, it is compatible

You may just need some extra bits in addition to the base ISO

IIRC the Broadcom website has the latest Linux drivers on there if the kernel doesn’t support it out of the box, so grab a copy of those and put them on a USB.

As others have said, you could get a live distro to test it out before you install

Kinda wild what became of the engineer behind it

Love the art style of this

Wishlisted

By all means try it out, it might have been something down to the drivers for my audio interface (focusrite scarlett) at the time

If you have better luck than I did, I’d love to know!

Can’t comment on everything, but given you mentioned audio production: a couple of years ago I tried to get ASIO working from within a VM on a Linux host OS and wasn’t having a whole lot of luck.

I think I read somewhere that someone had come up with a special ASIO driver to send the audio directly into the host Linux OS audio subsystem, but I’ve not tried that or measured latency yet.

Isn’t Microsoft about to block kernel modules like this entirely? I thought I read that somewhere

For anyone that doesn’t somehow already know, SOS is pretty simple to learn

It’s just three threes of dots dashes dots.

. . . - - - . . .

Sentences finish with a full stop (or period if you’re American), so you can remember it’s the dots last (and therefore first)

Hopefully you never need to use it, but better to know it and not need it than the alternative

I believe there’s an automated filter used by some of the biggest instances to detect and nuke child abuse stuff before a human has to see it

Everything else is human moderation though AFAIK

There’s also a maintained fork called Swanstation that is related to the retroarch project

!!!

I had no idea this was a thing!

Big fan of LMNC, so I’ve immediately gone and bought it, looks fun though
