For Apple and other phone manufacturers battery replacements is a point where they can pressure people to upgrade. China has developed a new battery tech with about twice the capacity of standard lithium batteries. When that becomes standard in phones they want people ro be used to the idea of buying half the phone for the same price. Personally, I would prefer 2 day battery life on a full charge if there is a new technology that doubles battery capacity. At best Apple is likely to to keep that in the ‘Pro’ phones until there are $300 android phones with the technology.

Damn zoomers don’t understand us 90s kids. Get off my lawn.

The Weimar Republic was the most educated place in the world before WWII. Education certainly can help but its not a panacea.

2 economist walking in the woods.

Economist 1 says to economists 2: I’ll give you $100 if you let me kick you in the balls.

Economist 2 says “sure”

Then economist 1 kicks economists 2 in the balls and gives him $100.

They continue walking and see a big pile of shit.

Economist 2 says to economist 1: I’ll give you $100 if you eat that pile of shit.

Economist 1 says “sure”, eats the pile of shit and economists 2 gives economists 1 his $100 back.

They continue walking, eventually economist 2 asks “What was the point of what we just did?”

Economist 1 responds “We just increased GDP by $200.”

I’m surprised no one ever tried to compile all the hacks into a single open source plugin or emulator. There are only around 400 retail games for the N64 which seems pretty manageable to have some sort of game detection ruleset for various hacks.

It seems like in recent years N64 emulation is finally improving somewhat with lower level emulation like the parallel64 core in retroarch.

Long term decompilation is the better solution regardless but it’s going to take a good amount of time to decompile all the games of significance for the N64.

This is a good documentary on the “miniature garden” concept Mr. Miyamoto is referring to in the interview.

As soon as the download notification is gone, the file doesn’t exist anymore.

That seems to be how Android literally works though.

This is a pretty decent overview of the ideas in that book for anyone who is interested.

Or Avril Lavigne?

Time to unionize Apple.

It can, I couldn’t figure out how to generate the OTR files on Linux so I had to do that on windows first. (It may be possible in Wine, I just didn’t have that setup.) You also have to change some of the settings in the config json file.

        "AudioBackend": "sdl",
        "Backend": {
            "Id": 1,
            "Name": "OpenGL"

Then, add the executable to steam as a non-steam game.

I really like the N64 NSO controller. Unfortunately it has potentiometer based sticks. Would really love a drop in replacement to be compatible with those controllers as well.

Oh no, I guess the workers will just have to take the burden of CEOing themselves. :[

Well, I would like to switch to Linux but my VR headset is holding me back. Linux does have its own annoyances. I would probably still have to virtualize windows because of productivity software I need.

I also use an engineering sample CPU so uhhh… I’ve learned to stop worrying and love the jank.

It’s basically just Microsoft being shit heads on their development of the Windows Mixed reality drivers that creates that specific edge case. Hopefully the open source monado drivers will be a good replacement eventually. Most everything else should work fine.

I only know because I had windows 10 LTSC when I bought my headset and tried to get it working and found reddit threads with the same issue. I tested the windows 11 IoT when it came out because I hoped it would support my headset then I found out they are dropping support next year.

There needs to be a class action lawsuit about this to either open-source the drivers or to refund all those who purchased WMR devices.

Maybe it’s all in my head, but I tried it a while back and it felt less snappy than clean windows 10 but more snappy than stock windows 11. It also retains a lot of the annoyances of stock windows 11.

Unfortunately I can’t use it because I have a WMR VR headset and it’s unsupported on the IoT and LTSC.

There’s a YouTube channel called memories tech tips and he’s developing a script that you can add to your ISO that will have a similar effect to the LTSC. That in combination with Chris Titus techs ultimate windows utility after first boot makes setting things up much easier.

I always just assumed 7 ate 9… I’ll see myself out.

I mean how much worse could weird alien sex be than our current reality?
