Google Finally Launches Android 15
  • I still wait for the day where smartphones become the only computer for most people.
    dock it, (maybe cool it) and the available power is significant.

    google is definitely taking steps there with their virtualization work and desktop mode, just slow.
    Apple may be too, with their switch to ARM on desktop.

  • Google Pixel 9 Pro XL Desktop Mode! Hands On Testing
  • fuck yeah, definitely the right direction.

    still a ways to go, but hey, baby steps

  • The Great Pyramids before climate change
  • welp. so much for 'pics or didn't happen'

  • Bloodborne in-game on Steam Deck with ShadPS4
  • I have to say this is extremely encouraging.
    I didn't think that the steamdeck would have the raw performance. But it seems to me that it does, but the emulator is lacking optimization (understandably for such an early stage)

  • Twystlock - Free, 100% 3D printable gaming accessories
  • sorry to disagree.
    my steam deck does not fit (comfortably, maybe if I were willing to force it more) in the case, with the Nub attached to the back.

    I love the Idea, and I'll keep the parts I printed to use it when I have explicit use to attach the deck somewhere. But I don't think the attachment will just live there

  • Twystlock - Free, 100% 3D printable gaming accessories
  • Will it fit in the case with the nub on the back?

  • anything to watch out for with 0.2mm or 0.1mm nozzle?
  • idler tension.

    depending on your print, if you want a tiny nozzle it seems likely it is some detailed figurine of some sort. maybe a miniature.

    when you print very tiny structures, but retract a lot, your drive gears can chew through your filament pretty quickly, because the retraction happens over the same bit of filament over and over again (because actual extrusion is so little).

  • Online Measurement for Parameter Discovery in Fused Filament Fabrication
  • Interestingly, at first glance, this may be possible with the nextruder as well.

  • U.K., U.S. ambassadors to skip Nagasaki peace ceremony
  • Words like this is a spit in the face of humanity.

    was Israel not attacked?

    I genuinely have issues trying to discern the propaganda from the facts.

    from what I gathered, I believed that Israel just took some land on which other people were living ~70 years ago, displacing these people.
    Those peoples didn't like being displaced and tensions grew, until attacks happened on Israel, to which Israel had mixed responses with violence and suppression, rinse, repeat and escalate for decades.

    Now Israel had it with attacks from Palestine, and is going with the only chance it sees at maybe stopping it, which is a very violent war, presumably with the target of breaking the hope of resistance for Palestine (probably with lessons from the US interventions of the last 50-ish years where more civilized approaches failed)

    If this (very simplified) view were correct, it seems that they are acting out of self defense, at least if you accept the existence of Israel, because if not they are the aggressors for occupying the space in the first place.

  • [Game] Helldivers 2 Gets New Steam Deck Graphics Preset Alongside New Difficulty Level
  • My experience with Cyberpunk was that the Steam Deck preset was a good starting point, but wasn't actually an ideal way to play the game.

    that is also propably subjective and may even depend on the deck you have, and in which areas the silicon lottery was good or bad to you

  • The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 appears on Geekbench
  • Wonder if benchmarks will switch to a more sustained load profile.

    I also hope that Android will get some desktop mode with maybe even linux app support like chrome os (but I of course am dreaming) to actually use the insane power in a more ergonomic environment than in my palm

  • Findroid v0.15.0 is now available for update
  • why can I not install it?

    first time i just get the share button on droid-ify

    /e: installig directly from github was no issue

  • Google Search is an illegal monopoly — what happens now?
  • this could be bad for mozilla / firefox.

    if Google can't continue to try to increase / sustain their market share, they may stop paying mozilla to be thw default.

  • Falcon 9's Return To Flight scheduled for 2024-07-27T04:21Z
  • Cool, I was wrong when I was sure the next launch would be a starshio, due to months of root-cause analysis and fix determinatiin and documentstion.

    incredibly impressive to me.

  • SpaceX just stomped the competition for a new contract—that’s not great
  • Yes, the US Government is locked into many monopolies, especially for highly specialized items.
    That doesn't make one more better at all though.
    I disagree with his second point. We've seen for years now, that when companies act like monopolists, they become a successful monopoly. There is very little checks and balances here. Yeah, they risk antitrust actions, but those happen so incredibly rarely.
    And in so far as competition, investment heavy industry like this needs billions in startup capital. Very few, if any, are going to get that.

  • Polaris Dawn EVA Animation [4K]
  • They've propably been in a vacuum chamber before no?

  • Polaris Dawn EVA Animation [4K]
  • The actual launch will probably take a while, after the launch failure, right?

    I'd expect a launch stop of multiple months for now.

  • Norris: FIA risk “boring” F1 races if track limits stance isn’t changed
  • Now when it comes to overtaking if you get pushed wide that should be interpreted one way with it absolutely not counting to your track limits violations and if you choose to run wide to hold onto the position that should be interpreted the other way.

    but isn't 'being pushed wide' and 'choosing to run wide' arguable in practice?
    in a battle for position, the one on the inside will take any space given.

    Maybe this is the reason they get 3 free passes for these situations (running wide with no clear advantage gained)

  • Foust Forward: Who’s afraid of the big bad Starship?
  • Thanks to independent access to space, I think there is a decent chance that starship will dominate and others will still survive

  • Making Awesome 166 - Bambu Lab, Segment about Bambu and decrypted Bambu Logs.

    Apparently some group has broken Bambus encryption.

    Apparently, as he claims, the logs reveal not only (further) licensing issues with Bambu, they also apparently send the complete Model you want to print to Bambu, which would be a huge issue for any companies using them.

    What do you think? Anyone ever checked on the size of the logs? Does it make sense that they actually send the whole Model?

    /e: clarification, apparently the logs do not get sent to bambu by default on every print (even while in LAN-Mode) as it can be understood here, but all of this info is in the logs you can manually choose to send to Bambu (i.e. in the case of an issue with a print(/er) bambu is reasonably likely to ask for this).

    Tesla shows Optimus Gen 2 on Nitter

    I've just found this Optimus Gen 2 demo, and I thought it's quite interesting.

    The Hands are surreal, the gait is still weird, but from what I understand it's a lot easier to walk without an outstretched joint in robotics (avoiding singularity in the kinematics).

    Very curious to see if they just did the "easy" 0-80% and will kinda get stuck here, or will keep improving rapidly.

    Really looks like it may be used on assembly lines in another year or so. But this is promotion, so looking like that is kinda the point.

    what do we think the runtime of these is untethered? If they have a full AI stack in them, won't they need quite a bit of compute power?

    is masscoin.vip a scam?

    Hey there.

    All my scam-alarmbells are ringing, but I'd like to have a little perspective because I never got into trading with crypto at all.

    A friend of mine apparently put about $70k in different crypto into masscoin.vip Then there seem to have been some hijinx with mistyped adresses, and talks with support later, masscoin.vip representatives tell my friend, that they need to fork over another 10% of their holdings, so another $7k, to validate their account or something.

    This has to be a scam, right? The Money is gone, and since it was put in via crypto there is no way to recover it?
