What software you consider so bad it made you happy when you left your job?

But have you tried Cisco Webex Teams? Or how we liked to call it "My first rails application.example.exe".

What do you think of framework and their methods?
Reply in thread
That is already being done right now.
You can fashion your old Mainboard into a home server. For example by using their case made in collaboration with I think CooperMaster but you can also 3D print it yourself.
The displays are just standard eDP connectors. So anyone could use that as well with a cheap board.

How Valve Made $600,000,000 in a Year | Steam Deck Success Story
Reply in thread
While there is better hardware out there now I can guarantee you that the software sucks on all of them in comparison to the steam deck. And if you run HoloISO on them you won't get the full feature suite.
Plus of course the price point. You can get a refurbished SteamDeck for like 330€ now. While alternatives start at like at least twice that for almost the same performance.

Friday Facts #373 - Factorio: Space Age
I really appreciate that Earendel also got to voice some lines here. The crossover with the mod is undeniable and him being involved with the company now could have been handled differently elsewhere.

Starfield planet boundaries showcased in new leaked video
Let's be real. The other option would be a 10 year-old pre-alpha with barely 4 planets and a few moons with like 20 unique POIs total.
I think this is a totally acceptable compromise. And it's not like you can't explore more of the planet. It's just a small loading screen in between. Like going from the overworld to a dungeon in Skyrim.

I bought the LCD without and later switched to oled with. Honestly. I barely notice it. Go for the cheapest oled option. That is a change you will notice, unlike the the etching.

The base radius seems to be about 8 foundations
We really need an option to expand the base radius. To at least double the current limit. Could make it a server option or something. But right now at least it feels too restrictive.

Their VMs are often used for cloud gaming. Your own version of GeForce now essentially. The attacker might have told the employee to check if it works or something of the sort.
So it's not to far fetched.

Firefox on Android now supports Passkeys with 3rd-party password manager integration!
For people using Nightly. Bitwarden as of yet does not have the package name for Firefox nightly in its allow list. So you gave to switch to either Firefox beta or as mentioned here Firefox for it to work.

Unions work. That's why the corporations don't like them.
Reply in thread
I think any job could benefit from workers union. No matter if restaurant workers or software engineers. We can see right now the issues that exist with US at-will work situations and green card holders being held hostage.
I am part of a union as a software engineer and I wouldn't have it any other way anymore. I am based in the EU though.

You could just go with Debian unstable. I rarely ran into issues while running it in a rolling release style.
Debian testing might also work for you. But it will have a freeze window before each release.

Homes in England are more cramped than ones in New York City and offer the worst value for money in the developed world
Reply in thread
So many houses on the market that are essentially just ruins by modern energy standards. In many cases you have no choice but to completely start anew. The issue is that the prices don't reflect that. You have a house built in the 60s with oil heaters and no insulation going for 700k or more. So you will be out for the house/land, the demolition and then a new house as well. On the other hand trying to renovate the same house would probably be the same amount of money but you are still living in an old house.

USB-Sticks: Qualität der Speicherchips soll immer mehr abnehmen (computerbase.de)
Bin inzwischen sehr froh mit dem USB-C Gehäuse das ich für die SteamDeck Ssd besorgt habe. Gehäuse und SSD zusammen sind vielleicht 60€. Damit hat man wirklich gute Performance und ist auch nicht größer als ein USB Stick. Und man hat halbwegs namenhafte Hersteller sowieso deutlich bessere Geschwindigkeiten und Lebensdauer.
Kann ich nur empfehlen für Leute die USB-Sticks mehr als einmal pro Jahr brauchen.

Palworld 2.0.6 Update: known bugs and issues
They are actually fixing most of my pain points from the first run through. I would still like to see some way to gain more experience in the later stages, especially after hitting level 40. For now the only thing you can do is catch 10 of each and run around and do easy dungeons. Or they should tune the experience curve to be more linear.

$6.2B in profit wasn't enough: Nvidia hikes GeForce Now prices for Canada and Europe
Reply in thread
There are some projects form a few years ago. Mostly using Parsec but there might be more, even open source, options in that area.
But all the DIY solutions will require you to have some knowledge in regards to public clouds. But all-in-all they shouldn't be that expensive as they generally make use of cheap instances and automatic shutdowns. So you only pay for the time you are actually playing plus the storage.
One quick search showed https://github.com/badjware/aws-cloud-gaming but I can't say anything about the working state of that repository. But it should be a good starting point.

Evocati will be testing Jump Gates most likely on Friday.
I wonder if it will have any associated gameplay or just a loading screen animation. AFAIK there was something planned but it feels like we are only getting tier 0 implementations of everything for the next few years.

Starfield Updates and Mod Support – September 13, 2023
Would have liked a more technical update. Something akin to Factorios FFFs. There were quite a few articles recently about the FSR2 implementation being faulty and general performance issues due to wrong use of certain gpu extensions. Would have loved to see something mentioned about that.
