Does box3d work with godot?

That show was fresh. I still seethe for it being cancelled.

Yes, LTT tried getting CEC to work, and at the very least, it isn’t trivial. I’d hazard a guess that someone with more determination and willing to go deeper might find a way of spoofing the signal using an esp or something, but at the very least, it’s not something you can just enable or disable with a toggle.

TL;DR: AOOSTAR’s GODY mini PC offers a Ryzen 9 7940HX and RX 7600 XT GPU for $849, undercutting Valve’s Steam Machine price, but it lacks RAM and storage, requiring users to add DDR5 memory and an SSD amid high DRAM prices. It runs Windows 11 and is larger than the Steam Machine.

Also no storage. So it’s probably around the same price-to-benefit ratio of a steam machine: lacks the smaller footprint, tighter integration (including steam controller dock built in), no CEC (if you care about that); gains better upgradability, better gpu and cpu. Probably noisier as well, considering the higher tdp.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that 16 cores is pointless upgrade for pure gaming.

Instead of buying this, I’d just build a pc myself. This is the thing these steam machine killers are not getting: the gabe cube is not made for people who can build a pc on their own, it’s made for the ones who want to have a pc-console that just works, no faffing about, no tinkering, no opening up and figuring out if the ram is seated properly or not. It’s for those that want plug, sit and play.

Also, if they delist a game you had, you can just sail the high seas easily, and there are even revival projects for always-online games that reverse engineer servers.

Yeah, I guess I have to accept that Linux will let you do the wrong thing, and (sometimes?) not even ask for confirmation. However, it seems weird to me that the default is not the other way around. Logically, every drive that is not where the system itself is, should be mounted, by default, as non-essential. The fact that the system does the opposite by default is what it baffles me.

The drive that caused a problem was part of a Jbod I had set up, to serve as the partition where my jellyfin library is located. I later discovered it was not my pcie expansion card, but the drive itself that is going bad. It has seen 2271 days of activity, and, apparently, it can’t handle being chock full anymore. After deleting some files it stopped occasionally going off. I can’t remember exactly where I got my guide from, but this one I didn’t use LLM for. I had just searched how to mount a jbod in Fedora 44 on duck, and followed the first result (which seemed okay). Thanks for the heads-up though, I’ll be more careful from now on.

However, these bleeding edges also seem to be the sort of thing that the Linux developers community should iron out of the system for better mainstream adoption of Linux. This is, logically, not how a default should be.

Edit: typos, grammar.

Thanks! I’ll do that today. I did read a lot of the journal (that was how I eventually figured out the problem), but getting to the journal was already a process. What I don’t understand is why super critical errors are hidden away in a log instead of being shoved in my face once they happen.

That’s also a trip. My keyboard is not the standard 104 american layout, because I’m not American, and while using GRUB I had to discover what keys actually stood in for symbols like / and | because it had reverted back to standard layout.

No, but I will now lol

I’ll look into it! Fstab seems like… something.

My gf was complaining her laptop was slow, even though she bought it new last year and it wasn’t a cheapo. I went to take a look, 8gb win 11 laptop, hammering more than 7 gb of memory while doing literally nothing after being turned on. “Maybe there’s something wrong” I cleaned up her startup apps, uninstalled some stuff that she never used (and came as bloat from samsung), did some optimizations… Restarted, and still at 7+ gb of memory use. Yep, it’s fucked.

It was bad at launch, but the game itself is mediocre at best. Except the art of it (acting, graphics, sound…), which is amazing, the game itself is boring, fairly lackluster progression systems during launch (I heard they got revamped later, but never went back), the narrative is limited and uninspired, and there is literally nothing innovative about it. Just your bog standard AAA shoot shoot game with big budgets and small ideas. I doubt Witcher 4 will be any different, just swords and spells instead of guns and hacking.

I just need a few more billion trillion dollars, bro, I swear. Trickle down economics work, just a few more trillions. I swear, bro, AI will bring UBI, just several more trillion dollars, bro. I swear, bro.

That would require us to be a society that values culture and art over money.

I had some good 50+ hours of fun in Farever, it’s an MMO lite type of game, nothing innovative, but very solid. I’m eagerly waiting for their next update.

I mean, New World was fairly good, but calling it peak when it was cancelled just smells of copium.

New World had two problems:

1. It took too long to farm all the way to end game content and take part in the social mechanics that the game had been created for (open world war was super fun, and being part of one of the three factions was super cool as well, we had real rivalries on my server)

2. They had no real understanding of how to actually monetize their game. It was originally supposed to be a one time purchase with cosmetics, but the cosmetics on the store all looked awful, and they completely ignored that a major part of MMOs is farming to look cool. The game basically died after they released a paid DLC (that cost more than the base game when it was released) that not only gated new content, but also removed content from the base game and made it dlc exclusive. First Light and Cutlass Keys were removed as areas from the base game, including an end game dungeon, and then made dlc exclusive. They also made the asinine decision of making mounts into dlc exclusive mechanic. This completely fractured the playerbase in two types of people: the ones who saw the writing on the wall, and the idiots who paid for the dlc.

The problem of fighting for democracy using social media, is that the ones controlling the algorithm are precisely the ones that don’t want the “left” to succeed. It is essentially fighting a battle in the enemy’s field, where they control the land itself. At small scales, it might work. But it will never work when it comes to true important positions. I’d go as far as to say that the mirage that it works in cases like Mandani is part of their plan, to keep the left locked in their platforms “because that’s what works”. Here in my country, Brazil, I could clearly see the impacts of the algorithm changes they put in place after 2011, after the pro-democracy movements that started on Facebook. Their networks started to curb engagement from the left, and massively boost fake news, right-wing content, ultra nationalism, and such. It’s naive to think that social media can be used to win the populace back to the left. They’ll never let it happen.

Only in cold/temperate climates, try planting mint in a tropical climate and the thing will just die for whatever reason. I used to have a planter with it, then I moved it a bit, to a spot where there was less shade, and the thing died in days.

My Brazillian brother, look at the numbers of Lula’s governments, both 2003, 2007, and now in 2022. Look at GDP (pib), inflation, purchasing power, real growth of the economy, inequality numbers, price of the dollar, all of that. And you’ll have your answer if Lula is only a little better.

Yes, I’m building one with old components that I have been buying and saving up for the last three years. I got a good deal on an Arc A310 and that’s the newest thing in that setup, the other stuff is all 8+ years old.
