very glad that Windows magically let me stay on W10 security updates for another year. I think maybe my VPN tripped them up, but i’ll take it.

maybe they can do what I do, run Windows on the server so you can tell Backblaze that it’s a personal computer. Then I only have to pay a flat rate for the one computer.

that’s gonna be an expensive backblaze account

so it’s open-source Minecraft? I love the idea conceptually! Not sure how much interest i have in playing more Minecraft tho.

I think the Fairphone 6 has an option to have e/os preinstalled?

I mean sure, it was a bit buggy, but holding a 20 year grudge on Risk of Rain seems excessive. Especially considering it came out only 12 years ago.

in general, yes. 404 is a reader-funded tech news site, staffed by a bunch of experienced, professional tech journalists. That said, I don’t blame people for asking for an archive link.

Came here to say the same. I think this is usually the go-to solution for using controllers with emulators.

Sadly we are well into the era of fragmented social media and echo chambers. It was always going to end up like this. Still, I hear you. Social media was more fun when everyone was on the same platforms.

Nice nice nice. Thank you for your thoughts! I was just really curious. Haha

yeah? how well does that work for you? Is it like super cool, or what?

Although most of the focus in the media and elsewhere is on smart glasses like Google Glass and now Meta/Ray-Ban’s offerings, there are others too that fall under this umbrella term. Certain auto-darkening sunglasses are called ‘smart glasses’, while others are designed to act more like portable screens that are used with a laptop or other computer system. Then there are the augmented- and mixed-reality glasses, which come in a wide variety of forms and shapes. None of these are the camera-equipped types that we discussed here, of course, and thus do not carry the same stigma.

Obviously the camera-equipped models are concerning for a whole host of reasons, but i did not realize there were companies making these camera-less AR glasses that function like lighter VR headsets. Something like the Viture Luma actually seems like it could be a cool alternative to a gaming monitor. The price is comparable, just plug in via USB-C. I wonder what that would be like? Just leaning back in the computer chair and the monitor leans back with you…sounds pretty nice, tbh.

genuinely just trying to clarify! Maybe you were using it for an application that I had not considered, in which it is clunkier. I only use it intermittently for screenshotting random things. At work we use Snagit so I don’t have to lean on the Windows snipping tool so much.

Snipping tool? The one where you hit Win+Shift+S, draw a rectangle, and then it snips to your clipboard? That’s the “unintuitive” snipping tool you’re referring to?

holy shit, am I missing something or is this a big deal? Is this the main thing that has had Microsoft on the BDS list?
