As someone who games at 4k on a video card from 2017, I can confirm that VRR is a must-have feature for gaming at lower frame rates.

VRR means that falling off your set frame rate doesn't matter. 56 FPS is just as smooth as 60 FPS. If something explodes and the game drops to 40 for a second, you don't really notice.

Paywalled.

Even scanning over the network works on Linux on my Brother MFP. I really didn't expect that.

This. If you're unhappy with the shitposts, block /c/[email protected] and like magic, they're gone.

They weren't called the 'me' generation for nothing.

What's that, you want government to make it worse? Here, have some stage 3 tax cuts.

Google? Unstable commitment to a project? That's crazy talk!

1. Slice both sides off the mango
2. Use the edge of a glass to separate the mango flesh from the skin
3. Take the chunk of mango in your hand and carefully cut it up with a blunt knife. Put the pieces of mango in a bowl.
4. Peel off the strip of skin left on the seed and eat the bit of mango that's still attached to the seed.
5. Have a bath.
6. Eat the bowl of mango with a fork.

The bad news is that it may be a while before you can get back to devouring your favourite 60k hurt/comfort WIP.

If they did, Apple wouldn't adopt it and we'd be in exactly the same place as we are now.

Valve have said they aren't planning on a new Steam Deck until there's substantial technology improvements, so I wouldn't expect to see one for at least a couple of years yet.

It's all mashed together into one broken link. The Mastodon post was https://universeodon.com/@reverendender/110684373666510819 and the actual article was https://www.insider.com/meta-threads-delete-account-instagram-2023-6

Most of hydrogen's problems are solvable - we can pack a car with hydrogen tanks, make hydrogen with electrolysis, build infrastructure, etc.

The big killer is price. Those hydrogen filling stations aren't $1000 each like home chargers or $50,000 each like DC fast chargers, they're something like 2 million dollars each. And you need them everywhere, there's no home filling to carry most of your usage.

The hydrogen you put in them? You have to pay for not just the electricity that makes it into your car's electric motor, but all the energy that was wasted along the way:

Nobody's looking to spend all that money on filling stations, and nobody's interested in paying 2-3x as much to fill their car.

IIRC it depends a lot on humidity. If humidity is low, you can be fairly comfortable at higher temperatures with just a fan on.

Intel's Linux support has always been pretty good. IIRC they even do open source video drivers, it's just that nobody cared about drivers for their IGPs and they didn't have real video cards until recently.

I think they were pro-hydrogen, and now they're using hydrogen as an excuse not to do battery EVs.

People who have heard of hydrogen cars but haven't looked at how inefficient and expensive they are still think that they're the future.

Naw, cheating at life is if your Daddy owns an emerald mine in apartheid South Africa, then you get smart people to do the thinking and PR for you.

There's a risk that you'll start to believe your own PR and try to do it yourself, though. I can't imagine that going well.

Yeah, but Reddit makes pennies per user from showing them ads, so they're still losing money.

Rather than laughing all the way to the bank, it's more of a forced chuckle on the way to the dole office.
