I like the idea. I would wait until Matrix 2.0 is officially released and implemented in the major clients. It will make a big difference to the user experience.

When I played Oblivion years ago, I got bored quickly, but I think it was because I was too focused on tackling the main quest line. Knowledge of how the level scaling worked led me to having an overpowered character, and closing the Oblivion gates was repetitive and mostly easy because (IIRC) I could just run past most of the threats.

I heard later that there is a lot of interesting stuff to discover if you ignore the gates. I would like to try that some time, and it would be pretty cool to do it with an upgraded game engine & environment. Here's hoping this project gets the volunteers it needs.

Something like this?

At least I linked to the code,

I appreciate that. :)

Here’s a fun fact not noted in the article:

It's #19 in the article.

#17 mentions strict and links to its documentation.

One of the appealing things about the Steam Deck is its repairability. Valve even made the analog sticks modular, published a teardown video, and partnered with iFixit to make replacement parts available, IIRC.

It would be hard to convince me that a device that doesn't beat the Deck in this area is "today's best". It's important.

I find that OBS Studio does well if I use the VAAPI plugin (which uses my GPU's h.264 encoder) instead of the ffmpeg one. However, OBS Studio is more fiddly than I would like for basic tasks like recording game footage. GPU Screen Recorder looks much simpler; I'll have to give it a try.

"It is obvious to everyone: Elbrus processors are not yet at the level required to compete equally with the PS5 and Xbox, which means the solution must be unconventional."

That unconventional approach could involve either simplifying games to the degree that Elbrus CPUs can handle (the Russian audience still has access to world-class games and would likely not play those 'simplified' games)

Oh, let's not be hasty. Nintendo has had great success with underpowered consoles, and Tetris (Тетрис) is a shining example of this sort of thing. :)

This seems to hint that they're using systemd's udev as well:

I wonder if they plan to adopt eudev at some point.

Why does the text in the post start halfway through the text in the link?

People sometimes do this to call attention to the part of an article that they found most interesting.

Kind of annoying to have to click the damned link if the text can just be in the body of the post.

Re-posting the entire body of a copyrighted work is sometimes considered bad form. Some forums ban it outright. Even where it's not illegal or banned, not everyone likes to do it.

I prefer physical keyboards, too, as do many others. It turns out those of us who spend a lot of time composing text are outnumbered by those who do more content consumption, though, so the surface area is given to touchscreens, and profit-driven manufacturers seldom bother with keyboard models any more.

As for light quality, yep, incandescent bulbs were generally more pleasant. But not so much better as to justify the pollution now that we have 8 billion people on this planet.

I guess you're implying that rough service bulbs use more power at any given light output? Because I know from experience that they are much more sturdy than typical household bulbs. That's not a myth.

I think we have been able to manufacture sturdier incandescent bulbs for a long time. The "rough service" bulbs made for appliances do pretty well, for example.

I'm not sure why the technology didn't become common. I would guess that cheap and frequently replaced bulbs making more profit probably has something to do with it.

I've been using GE Relax HD most recently. I don't remember when I bought them, but it has been at least 5 years. I haven't had one die yet.

(All the Cree bulbs I used before these died quickly.)

Edit: I have read that LED bulbs usually die early because of their driver circuitry running too hot. If you are able to give yours better ventilation, it might help.

You can select the text that's over that background to make reading easier. Most of the article is below it, so you should be fine after a couple taps of Page Down.

Or use Firefox reader view, which cleans it right up. :)

• Works with scripts disabled (good privacy & security practice).
• Will still be useful when nytimes.com eventually disables your gift ID or takes the article down.
