Are there any alternatives that are decently fast for large files? My computer and my phone both get at least 300 mbps from the router, and I have yet to find a local file transfer application that will be anywhere near that fast for large files (destiny, local send, kde connect, might have tried others, I don’t remember)

I suppose it depends on if you count conservation as philanthropy. Like I said though, it’s not that significant compared to his overall wealth.

But it seems like almost every other storefront operates under those margins for digital sales (not just in gaming)

Notable that Epic Games takes only a 12% cut, and 0% of the first $1 million in sales (effectively 0% for the vast majority of indie games). A cynical take is that they’re just doing this to attract developers to their store, which is almost certainly true, but it doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll take a higher cut if they become dominant. Unfortunately the Epic Games platform is missing the majority of extra features that Steam has (built in streaming, family share, input binding, big picture mode, etc)

Tim Sweeney, CEO of Epic Games, is about 80% as wealthy as Gabe Newell, and has done much more philanthropy, although it only represents probably less than one percent of his net worth.

the gpu is weak, but with proper foveated rendering it is absolutely good enough I think

It sounds like they weren’t being particularly secretive about anything. I think this was not an expected move

As a native English speaker I certainly won’t process the words of a lot of songs without a conscious effort

Lyrics are so often indecipherable as well. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jGLYJQJh9c8

One that I remember is that I had heard the song “believer” a number of times before learning its name, I always thought they were saying “pick me up and pick me up and leave me, and leave me”. I don’t think I even tried to decypher the rest lol

I think the “proper” way to simplify it is would’ve, which is pronounced the same as ‘would of’

A lot of mistakes have just become incorporated into the language in the past. Maybe ‘would of’ is just too blatantly wrong for that to ever happen though

Maybe not really a ‘mistake’, more of a normal shortening but my personal favorite english-ism is “bye” being descended directly from “god be with you”. People just kept collapsing it more and more over time.

Edit: also “a pease” -> “peas” -> “a pea”

Ok, just read the artlce cited on wikipedia and it sounds like calling him a Trump supporter is a bit of an exaggeration. He seems basically centrist. Which is not great but not nearly as bad.

Their CEO is a Trump supporter

This isn’t new, the features have been in the app for a while now

for 4 Linux would also kind have the same problem as a 3rd party ROM, (almost) no one is making mobile apps for Linux

Sure, there are a lot of desktop apps, but most don’t have a mobile UI in mind

Samsung, Xiaomi and OnePlus have removed the option of bootloader unlocking on all of their devices.

Got me worried (bc i have a newish oneplus phone) but apparently OnePlus is only doing that in China for now. Still not a good sign for the future…

I heard it’s actually fairly useful for your gut bacteria or smth like that

Looking at other papers from the same lab and this is the silliest paper I’ve ever seen, they’re evaluating the effect of shining rgb lights at glass noodles on the eating experience

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2502.06069

There’s a pretty long video about why this sort of thing happens. Basically this sort of game is relatively cheap to make and investors think they have a chance of recreating the success of Overwatch or Fortnite or smth

I’ve used some slightly weird hardware but haven’t experienced anything of what you described. Across the whole range from the lab server with 3 3090s and 500gb of ram to my $40 Chromebook I got on ebay

practical importance to gender

As perceived by me

(only the most scientific of measurements)

https://xkcd.com/435/

I would say gender is probably centered about around psychology, ranges mostly from sociology to biology, with a just little bit going into chemistry

I feel like the pictures over-exaggerate the difference a bit. The wright flyer was literally made by two people in their spare time while the space program was around 4% of all federal spending and had almost half a million people working on it in some capacity.
