  • I didn't watch it all. (OK, didn't realize it was only a minute. I basically saw everything).

    But I wonder if it's simpler than that, and it's just doing a better job prioritizing the game. Presumably there's a reason they're doing it while running a heavy background process.

    This obviously still has value if it's the case, and is a big part of the point of a scheduler, but the headline implied (to me) that it's a general performance improvement, and the video doesn't demonstrate that.

  • It's not. There's no evidence for any harm of any kind from THC or the other psychoactive ingredients in adults.

    Smoking, specifically, yes, but there are many, many other ways to ingest it, and smoking is most common in large part because of the backwards ass laws.

    It's not like alcohol, where the desired altered state is exchanged for fucking up your liver, kidneys, etc. It doesn't do any of that, even with extremely heavy use.

  • The only thing that matters is that (in adults) it's very clearly demonstrated by abundant research to be perfectly harmless.

    In and of itself, the lack of harm makes it impossible for you to be a redeemable human being if you want to tell a consenting adult that they can't have it.

    That's ignoring all the evidence supporting benefits.

  • If you click through to crowd supply it's only $8, which is less ridiculous.

    But you lose the ability to have them toss a cable or two into the box at no real extra shipping cost to them, and I highly doubt their costs aren't lower through their website.

    Wasn't actually pulling the trigger today either way, but it's an odd setup.

  • 4GB of DDR4 is a lot worse than 8GB of DDR3. Those (slightly) older business SFF computers are plenty capable compared to the pi and their software support is at least as strong.

    You're also going to have to add several peripherals to the pi that aren't included in the price.

  • That's fine, but that means that it's no longer anything special for a lot of the home server stuff a lot of people do with them.

    There are loads of cheap, small (not as small, but small enough for most people not to care) used x86 systems (eg thinkcentre) that I can grab instead.

  • There are plenty of people with several physical monitors, because having information immediately accessible in a concrete location is simply easier and more efficient than toggling virtual work spaces on one desktop. Our brains work in 3D physical space. Presenting information and work spaces the same way has loads of value before the actual objects are also 3D.

  • A big part of the reason it's not a big thing is because of how fucking disgustingly bad the hardware is.

    You can ignore the fact that you can see pixels on other headsets a lot of the time, but pretty much only for games. You can't for very many of the use cases Apple has been showing. They kill text clarity, and they (and latency, and smashing the color space) kill passthrough.

    Apple waited until they could make something over the bare minimum threshold for actually using it for things that aren't games.
