  • If you consider scraping a threat then yes plain HTML might as well be giving up. The advantage of new reddit for that is quite clear: they can collect a bunch of data about your browser before deciding if you are a bot and if the rest of the page should load. The embedded recaptcha call in the screenshots is a pretty good hint. I suspect blocking trackers on new reddit will break as soon as the scrapers move over.

    As for why they don't just kill old reddit: a significant chunk of their active posters use it and are attached to it. So if they kill it entirely they will lose content. Posters are of course logged in so this change is less likely to affect them.

  • I hate Facebook as much as anyone else but this is like comparing apples to a modern commercial airliner. One of these was only a movie. The other was a combination of several things: a research project to try and find ways to drive the cost of manufacturing consumer VR headsets down (this is a giant black hole for money), an attempt to produce said hardware, an attempt to subsidise the price enough to get people hooked, and an attempt to build a complex piece of software for the whole thing. The software in question had to run on the last several generations of quest hardware not just the most recent one. The hardware in question was some Qolcomm mobile SoCs with questionable graphics that were showing their age running on a battery. To make matters worse this was all in VR so you needed high enough looking resolution per eye at at least 90Hz. If you miss those targets the customer may start vomiting which does not sell product. Oh and you can't easily increase your thermal or power budget by making the thing heavier because that will increase fatigue from wearing the product.

    The other thing is a 2D movie rendered ahead of time so that time spent rendering each frame doesn't matter.

    The metaverse push was stupid but I don't find it terribly surprising that trying to pull a whole industry out of your ass so you can have a monopoly on it is a bit very pricey.

  • If Nvidia deprecates your driver you'll be up shits creek on just about every distro unless you already used nouveau.

  • Except the last arch news post is a month ago about virtualbox. I've blindly run pacman -Syu for years without issue

  • Aaand its dependent on HP print cartridges. This is a hard problem but the dependence on HP will probably backfire

  • Having been to the supermarket recently Reese's does in fact sell fourth of July "limited edition" peanut butter cups. They aren't firework shaped though. They are just taller.

  • After going through the linked threads. Discussing graphene OS or any other ROM on r/privacy will get you banned. WTF‽

  • The funny thing with financial aid is that it is possible to spend more money figuring out who isn't eligible than it would cost to just give it to more people

  • On the one had great game on the other hand when I start playing it I forget to sleep

  • "Lost." Wait till the next election they'll come round again.

  • Sure

  • I don't have a tub overflow in my apartment. If I fuck up its going on the floor

    Edit looks like its hidden in the drain control plate like that one. Thats at overflow level not past it.

  • Taken during the heat wave in SF a few weeks ago while fleeing the temperature of my apartment. Admittedly not the rarest of photos

  • I assume it sells if they are changing capacity allocations

    Intel and AMD have prioritized capacity for server CPUs, and the supply for PCs has become less ... what PC players can get in Q2 is much less than the volume we got in Q1.

    Its also worth pointing out that TSMC is a bit booked right now and Intel has its own fabs. So if you need a server CPU you may have to buy from Intel if you need it soon.

    Allegedly Intel's CPU performance is improving relative to AMD so it may be getting better.

  • Intel and AMD aren't claiming shortages. They are switching what they are manufacturing. Companies downstream of them in the consumer space are reporting shortages.

  • I was thinking of the external ones which aren't default exposed

  • The reason to eliminate door handles that Tesla and others typically give is aerodynamic efficiency. Granted there are other bigger aerodynamic problems. gestures at the rest of the fucking truck
