Re:433MHz TUI scanner: using a FT232H connected to a CC1101
on Tuesday November 03, 2026 @02:49PM (#50357201)
i initially disagreed, assuming they went with the cc1101 to transmit custom stuff. also ti launchpads for their entire cc series are more affordable and easier to use than any tx sdr.
it is not hard to program RF ism band stuff, even with custom protocols there is reams of examples.
but ya after reading a bit more its the blind leading the blind

Re:Steam Client Is Now Faster Than Epic's New Vibe Coded Launcher
on Thursday October 15, 2026 @01:43PM (#50107316)
it changed from a small, fast native client to webshit quite a few years ago. the performance is acceptable now but it is indeed magnitudes slower. it also steals focus several times during startup which is the single greatest thing a developer of client software can do to be a shithead

both the linked camera lens example as well as the last one the author linked runs at ~5fps on vivaldi and pegs CPU 100%. i have never seen any 3d visualization website have performance this bad, i assume they're not using webgl given my GPU is 0% utilization.
