This probably has some cool applications for magicians to do unique tricks where certain things appear on their skin.

I think this is only true if you assume the classic server model where the remote rendering streaming is overhead and not colocated with the game server itself.

Perhaps the controversy created by these pull requests is partially responsible for bringing attention to the issue and resulting in change to the legislation.

AMD GPUs have worked on RISC-V for a couple years at this point. I have a Milk-V Titan that's paired with an AMD GPU running well: https://milkv.io/titan

Over the past few years I've felt the iPhone keyboard has degraded in quality so much. At first I thought I was just getting old, but I've seen so many people with a similar sentiment that I think it is actually the devices fault.

On an iPhone like half of the information was wrong and conflicted prior information. And then stopped responding at the gathering ip, etc part.

A 1 TB Xbox is now $800 USD, where Microsoft is allegedly eating a $150 loss on each sale. Console pricing just hasn't reflected the realities yet or are eating the loss (to be made up via software sales). If their next console is open, they'll be in the same boat as Valve and won't be able to sell the console at a loss as there's no guarantee software sales will follow.

This article touches on why I think a lot of disdain for Nintendo's game key cards is misguided. They're functionally equivalent of what Xbox/Sony consoles have been doing for the past 2 generations but at least provide clear labels and marketing that the game won't function without online activation / downloads.

Yeah, there's a sentence about how they downgraded twice!

No, I think Valve prioritizing an open platform independent of Microsoft aligns with their business goals.

They’re doing it in a manner that has broad benefits, but it’s definitely a win-win situation.

I guess you missed the part where they’re talking about HDR?

Yes, the monitor will work but if you want to take full advantage of the panels you enable HDR.

"And here's the key bit...", etc. I agree there's a few signs that this was at least editorialized by AI. That being said, saying it's slop is a bit of a stretch.

Not quite. The Kuru Toga mechanism that rotates the led every time you pick up the pencil is present on the cheaper models and is also present here.

The big feature on this pencil is an adjustable automatic lead extrusion mechanism on top of the rotation mechanism.

Looking at the source I don't think that's true -- it's using GitHub specific APIs to read/write files. It's not standard git so any remote wouldn't work, and the mechanics are more akin to a key-value store than git really.

Not to say you couldn't add a generic git protocol to this, just that that's not being done here.

I think it's pretty clear from the readme that this is a humorous proof of concept more so than anything someone should seriously use.

Speed running is so bizarre to me, the rules seem so arbitrary. I struggle to see how any form of hardware level modification that results in a meaningful deviation in the behavior of the game would be allowed. At that point what's the difference between smudging your disk and using a GameShark, etc?

Similar thoughts on things like shiny hunting in the Pokemon community.

The Panasonic Toughbook range isn't even the same class of device as Macbooks. They're like twice the size and significantly heavier.

The size, texture, precision, functionality (tapping, multi-finger), palm rejection are all just about flawless on Macbooks. Other manufacturers have good trackpads that are great at some of these things but never all of them.

I look forward to your modifications and advancements in the 3d printing community that are published under completely open licenses!

Permission to do what exactly?

Was there something before the OCL you could / were planning to do that the OCL now prohibits?

What’s wrong with the OCL if you’re a business owner?

Presumably the original dev that implemented the changes for this functionality that pulled the repo does not want to be associated so some level of squashing was required but yeah, the whole history was maybe a bit silly.

5 hours with LiFePo4 and 8 hours with Li-ion since the battery system in the Reform Next should support both chemistries you can choose battery longevity or longer runtime and more frequent battery replacements.

The MNT Reform classic discussed here was designed 6 years ago, but there’s nothing preventing an updated motherboard with better port selection from being created.

The MNT Reform Next that’s scheduled to be fulfilled this year has a much more modern port layout:

They have a CM4 adapter module so maybe you could get a RISC-V module in there some how but I don’t know if anybody has actually done that or if it would be worth it at this point.

The trackpad in the MNT Reform Next is custom based on the Azotech IQS9150 IC from what I’ve seen in their firmware sources.

Not sure if that will be directly compatible with the MNT Reform classic discussed here though.

The keyboard uses low profile choc v1 mechanical switches. Aside from the split space bar this is about as close to a no compromise, standard layout as you can get I think.

MNT publishes everything: source code, schematics, complete BOMs, mechanical design files. You could produce one of their laptops, or any part of it, yourself through normal PCB suppliers like JLC and 3d print a case.

Reproducing what they have aside, you can also modify any aspect of it by remixing their designs. The most common example of this has been custom keyboard layouts (ergo, split, etc).

I read this as "never buy new electronics because someones old used one is less e-waste".

The motherboard is modular and the compute part of this is replaceable, it's sort of the whole point.

The modules are mostly compatible between all of their products: MNT Reform, MNT Pocket Reform that are available now and the future MNT Reform Next (a more streamlined laptop) and the MNT Station (mini desktop pc).

Onsen (hot springs) are very common and popular in Japan. Nowadays, they almost always have sauna as well. In Tokyo there's probably a sauna within ~15 minutes of just about anywhere.
