Xbox was only created to help vendor lock-in for Windows.

The X in Xbox was DirectX, the goal was to get developers off of OpenGL.

With the rise of Vulkan, and DX12 being extremely similar, there's little reason for Xbox to exist from Microsoft's perspective

That sticker has a serial number, not just a UPC

It's valid if you try to check its warranty status on their website

When I went through customs a few days ago, the officer seemed annoyed when I tried to declare an expensive prototype camera...

He just wanted me to say I didn't have any food or seeds

One of my favorite from China is biangbiang noodles

They now use Proton, but they removed the native Linux client and Proton wasn't integrated yet at that time

I can certainly understand why one of your libraries was bothering you if you're merging 250,000 lines of AI generated code in a month.

Manufacturers are allowed to add supplementary charging standards on top of USB-C PD, and the commission is required to review the landscape every 5 years to see if a new technology is better than USB-C that should be adopted in the future

Yeah, emacs makes way more sense for this one

The only thing emacs is missing is a text editor

The fucking gas lighting in this response

Google provides more assistance to open source software projects than almost any other organization, and these debates are more likely to drive away potential sponsors than to attract them

"We ran AI that may or may not have found a legitimate issue, and you're not looking into it for us fast enough. That's going to drive away new volunteers that we need"

You see it all the time in Disney animations, Pixar animations, you see it with sprites being the same for clouds and bushes in Mario...

I don't really see an issue with asset reuse, as long as the actions make sense in the new context

I get wanting to move away from "master," but why in the world didn't we use "trunk"

It was already a standard name, and it fits "branches," etc.

How are you defining "Obsolete" vs "Nu"?

e.g. Brainfuck from 1993 is all the way to Nu, while D (2001) and Rust (2012) are less "Nu"?

There’s assembly and makefiles too

Less of a joke answer, there has been work to allow Rust bindings for drivers.

They confirmed they started working on it in 2014.

Without a percentage of how much they've accomplished in the last 12 years, it's hard to judge if they're still just 12 more years away, or 36 more years away...

Just a heads up, if you're on the 7040 mainboard, I needed to add this to the kernel command line on Debian 13 for reliable suspend/resume. Without it, the screen would just be grey sometimes and not resume

Edit: may also only affect the 2.8k display

I think the bigger complaint is that, when Galaxy was released, GOG said (back in 2015)

A Linux version of our client is planned eventually ... Stay tuned for future announcements

Ten years is plenty of time to implement a launcher, or at least give a planned timeline

Sure, third parties have done it with Heroic, etc. but promising support and not delivering leaves a really bad taste to me

Their point is Disney owns 100% as of 2023

Yeah, just the American version

It affects where you can rent housing, what houses you can buy, whether you can get a car, etc

I would assume its in reference to the section of the video quoting YouTube's policies that channels can be removed after 3 copyright strikes. Bloomberg has 10 days to appeal to YouTube and keep the strike active

Do people ever avoid hospital visits

At least in my experience, we’ll generally be able to go to the hospital

Do hospitals put people on a payment plan

Generally, I’ve just seen the debt transferred to a debt collection agency afterwards, since there’s no money for them to take. They’ll harass you, and it affects your credit score, but they can’t send you to jail
