If I were to experience it as I am today (and judge it versus games with modern graphics etc), I'd pick Ori and the Will of the Wisps. It quickly became one of my all-time favourite games, and I finished it three times in a year when I discovered it. Beautiful in so many ways.

Half-Life is probably the game that has had the biggest impact on me, though, so that would be my pick if I experienced it as I did around 1998.

Oh. I guess I got lucky then as I used that method last week.

What's the advantage over the existing supposedly permanent activation method?

Why would they plug the phone to a PC via USB AND set it to webcam mode AND record or broadcast in a program on the PC if they didn't want people to see?

Doesn't always look bad, it's game dependent.

In hardware unboxeds test, it's better than native in some titles, and better or equivalent in half of titles tested.

It looks way better than native w/ TAA for me in BG3 (at 1440p). TAA is way too blurry. And yet it's also faster.

The article points out that the kernel version used in a phone is basically frozen when development of the device starts. They're suggesting that at 2 years of support, the kernel will be EOL about when the phone is released.

Skyblivion and Skywind are a thing. Hopefully they'll be released at some point too though...

ps aux says hi!

z is for gz files only though, there are plenty of others. xf autodetects and works with all of them (with GNU tar att least).

iPhone strange speeds are 1GB/s, or 8 Gbit/s. WiFi is nowhere close in practice, but USB 3.0 is (recent versions are much faster).

How many years was the jump?

94 Mbps is basically exactly what you can get from a 100 Mbps connection after overhead. 93-95% or so of the theoretical maximum. Something's wrong and you're getting a 100 Mbit/s connection.

Kutcher is already in an upcoming movie.

Mila Kunis is in two projects.

That's not far from reality. Quantum computers work with qubits.

How is that relevant? RTX 4080 is not a the minimum requirement for Starfield.

There's no RT in BG3. At least not yet.

Most books 36-48 hours of listening? Hmm?

So here are the ones I've done in the past few weeks:
Project Hail Mary: 496 pages, audiobook 16 hours 11 minutes
The Martian: 416 pages, 10 hours 53 minutes
We are legion (We are Bob): 308 pages, 9 hours 30 minutes

So say about 30-40 pages per hour, which would put 36-48 hours at about 1100-1900 pages.

Is Fennec just the old name, orn something different?

I use Firefox on Windows and Firefox on Android.

Do most editors do that by default? If so, that's great -- if not, it's just a downside for tabs, if you need to hit enter, backspace out the automatic indents and then press space 30 times rather than just hit enter and have it aligned automatically.

vim seems to auto-insert tabs when you hit enter mid-function definition, at least with standard settings.

How does that work, and with which editor settings? If you simply set the tab width (tabstop) in vim, things go south.

Say you have a function definition one indent level in, then 22 characters of text. You more want to align the next line to that. How does that work in practice with tabs?

The obvious way with tabs and ts=4 would be 6 tabs and two spaces(one tab for the initial indent, the rest to match 22 characters). But then someone with ts=2 comes along and barely gets half way there, or someone with ts=8 who overshoots by a lot.
