  • The article has one sentence on using older versions for better compatability with some games.

    The rest of the article is basically summed up by "bigger number means newer"

    The whole article seemed very surface level and didn't really give any more info than could be derived from the names of the versions. As for the community forks mentioned people could find much better info just looking at the readme.

    Maybe I'm just too technical but it just feels to me as pointless as an article explaining the difference between hot and cold taps on a sink.

    Edit: fix autocorrect

  • The material your pads are made out of can significantly affect this. I swapped from leather pads to suede and I find the new ones far warmer than the old but that doesn't bother me.

    If you can experiment with different pads you might find something that works for you.

    Though be warned that the material can also affect the house cancelling performance so you have decided on that compromise too.

  • On the couple of AUR packages I maintain neglect I have been approached via email to add people as co-maintainers. I don't always have the time to keep the packages up to date so I was happy to let someone else help out.

    Might be something worth looking into rather than an orphan request.

  • Any info out there on how they actually plan on making money going forwards?

    The article talks about other platforms charging a fee to buyers instead but mentions nothing about eBay introducing this.

    Are they really making enough from ads on the site and vehicles to replace the lost revenue?

  • The lack of backwards comparability is because of the large difference in architecture.

    The PS2 was a128 bit custom processor, the PS3 had PS2 hardware in the original fat versions to achieve backwards compatibility, it was dropped to reduce the price.

    The PS3 was a 64 bit (I think) custom PowerPC processor.

    With the PS4 Sony switched to x86_64 processors making the console essentially a PC with bespoke custom hardware. The PS5 is the same but better speced components as the tech moved on. That's why the PS4 & 5 are compatible, they are essentially using the same architecture.

    Microsoft is a similar story but they went all in on emulation of their old consoles which is why only certain games are allowed, they only allow the ones tested to work with the emulator.

  • If you really want to learn something, go learn it. What's stopping you?

    Work.

    If I don't work full time I can't afford to house or feed myself.

    Work wipes me out mentally leaving me no mental bandwidth to spend what precious little time I have left to go learn, even if I want to.

    I would love to be able to dedicate time to learning like I did when I was at university but even with the government funding available to me I would have to upend my life.

    I do spend time doing learning around things that interest me but it is depressing how little bandwidth work leaves for me to do that.
