You f*d up at the part where you didn’t start explaining in song, orchestra and all.

Doesn’t “opening up patents” means that anyone can use the ideas behind the patent without charge? Which means that it’s actually not locked anymore, so yes it does help?

For some reason I can’t see your answer on the post: despite us being both from lemmy.world and me being able to otherwise access your profile and see your posts and comments, the only way I can see it is in my notifications, not as an answer to my post. Anyway.

That’s why the original argument is inherently flawed: for the same price, I’d rather have 20 hours of carefully crafted content than 500 hours of AI generated fetch quests in a basic, procedurally generated open world from the latest version of the Ubisoft game framework. As a customer, I’m not buying playtime, I’m also buying the quality of that playtime.

This is also why we don’t pay for a movie, an album, or even a show or an exhibition by their duration.

If video games were priced by hours of dev time, I could kind of agree (with the theory, in practice it doesn’t really make sense). But let’s be honest here - that’s not what he means at all.

I think it’s even simpler than that: they want a share of Google’s data, and more control about what ads they can show to their customers constantly. Their hardware platforms are okayish and sold for a quite low price, but they monetize it on ads.

I didn’t get how this could be news but as it happens, this is the sequel of the game also called Lords of the Fallen released in 2014. Why they didn’t think it was a bad idea to give it exactly the same title is beyond me, however.

Might be enough for touch-based interfaces though, or fingers don’t have a 4K resolution either.

There are simpler and better solutions than Sublime for that use case, IMO.

Both are text editors, but VSCode’s plugin system and various config options can turn it a fully fledged IDE for the languages of your choice.

Besides, Sublime is exactly that: good, old.

You’re comparing compiled executables to scripts, it’s apples and oranges.

Isn’t the Pi 3B still available for that kind of job?

Hah he said annulus

I haven’t, but what would they bring to the table? Would they allow specific tweaks like xrandr?

You may be more used to bash, but after having tinkered with both and converted some scripts from one to the other, I arrived to the conclusion that both are bad.

Microsoft Wall™

I had checked the HDMI cable several times but never thought about checking the dongle: of course that was it. Good catch, thank you!

Might be that Dell devs don’t give a damn about correct specs (which are usually implemented in Linux) and only test on Windows. Mine is connected in HDMI though.

Does this monitor work well with Windows?

Added to the main post. I didn’t in the first place as I’m not so sure it’s relevant (outside of the GPU and supported resolution, which I specified)

Anyway: Tuxedo InfinityBook Pro Gen 7, DELL S3422DWG

I used to use Infinity so Eternity was the obvious pick, and it has delivered so far.

You can make your niche, but unless the people who populated that niche also come you’ll be quite alone. I even miss some CMs 😭
