I've been following the drama for years. This should've happened many years ago but for some reason Google was blocking it in favor of AVIF, which is worse in a number of ways.
Nah. Even someone who has never used another editing app would realize the UX is terrible, and it's harder to do basic things than it should be. There's too much stuff on screen and the UI looks terrible.
Audacity isn't a fully fledged DAW, it's an audio editor that's mostly for recording, making quick edits, or fixing up audio. I don't think it's really possible to use it in music production yet.
Every now and then Anbernic just throws a curveball and makes a weird device nobody really wants, this being one of them. I don't really understand the choice to make it 16:9 considering the only 16:9 system it can run is the PSP, and it's not strong enough for anything even resembling PS2 with widescreen hacks.
It'll probably go on big sales like other Anbernic stuff soon enough, might find it even going down to $100 on AliExpress or something by the end of the year. But still, it's just an awkward little device.
It's really cool, Box2D is still sort of the golden standard for 2D physics engines, and maybe Box3D can be that with enough support.
But since announcement I'm still wondering what it offers versus other open source 3D physics engines. How does it compare to something like Jolt or Rapier? I only saw one person saying that Box3D is faster than Rapier when compiled to WASM, but we definitely need good comparisons at some point to know if this is a big deal or not.
Honestly I'm expecting this to take up most of the mid-range laptop market. 8gb RAM and only 256GB storage is lame, but the rest of it probably makes it really good value (especially with components getting more expensive recently).
Unless you're buying used or refurbished, most laptops I found at ~$600 or less kinda suck. Either it has terrible specs, or uses cheap plastic, or has a terrible screen, etc.
I don't like Apple, but hopefully this is a wake-up call for other vendors. Lower end laptops should stop being cheap garbage.
Teamspeak requires you to pay for a license to host a community of greater than 32 people though. I have much more faith in Fluxer, which just came out recently and has its servers getting hammered right now. It will have true self-hosting and federation. Also it looks exactly like Discord which probably makes moving to it easier.
It's finally happening. Brings a tear to my eye.
