Doom 2016 plays well on almost anything. It was the beginning of the self scaling graphics and rendering to maintain high frame rates.

Technology@lemmy.ml•TCL demonstrates 4K gaming monitor with a 1,000 Hz refresh rate
71·2 years agoCompetitive (professional) gamers?
Seems there are diminishing returns, but at least some gains are measurable at 360.

Technology@beehaw.org•Does a VPN used on a smartphone with Wi-Fi disabled (mobile data only enabled) provide any sort of protection?
3·2 years agoSame. Also feels a bit safer connecting to public wifi.

Linux@lemmy.ml•XWayland 24.1 Released With Explicit Sync, Better Rootful Experience
5·2 years agoIt is being discussed because we’re in the middle of the transition from X to Wayland. Before there wasn’t much discussion. In a few years when it settles out there probably won’t be much discussion.
Windows and Mac have never had a choice. There might have been significant changes to a window manager layer, but it would have been part of a larger version upgrade. Like between windows 3.1 and 95 or OS 9 to OS X. The visible changes would be closer to desktop environment like KDE and Gnome in Linux.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Raspberry Pi Connect: an easy-to-use way to access your RPi remotely, using just a web browser
1·2 years agoHehe.
Won’t this new service help avoid that for users who haven’t figured out how to safely expose a system to the Internet?

Linux@lemmy.ml•Raspberry Pi Connect: an easy-to-use way to access your RPi remotely, using just a web browser
1·2 years agoIsn’t that the point of the new features? Now remote access can be had without directly exposing the device to the internet?

Technology@beehaw.org•Dell responds to return-to-office resistance with VPN, badge tracking
1·2 years agoAs much as I hate to admit it, the conversations that happen because I overheard another conversation a couple cubes over do have value.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Raspberry Pi Connect: an easy-to-use way to access your RPi remotely, using just a web browser
2·2 years agoWhile I generally agree that they should, I disagree that they should have to.
SSH and then some sort of VPN for remote terminal access isn’t too bad.
It has been a decade or more since I tried setting up VNC, but I never could figure out how to connect to an existing X session. Has that setup gotten better?

Linux@lemmy.ml•Raspberry Pi Connect: an easy-to-use way to access your RPi remotely, using just a web browser
6·2 years agoI think it offers not having to know enough about each of those pieces to pick one of each and set them up.
I use the KDE integration, but it seems to create a new path every time I open a file. That breaks the recent file list in apps.
Is there a good solution for that? It seems like most of the projects to do that have been abandoned.

Technology@beehaw.org•Breakthrough promises secure and private quantum computing at home
6·2 years agoMaybe not once quantum computers become more common.
Our current encryption methods can be represented as wave functions. This allows a sufficiently large quantum computer to solve for the keys in very little time.
There are new algorithms being developed that should defend against this. So you may still be correct.
I think that’s what the kerberos is there to solve. I’ve heard that it isn’t that bad to set up. I haven’t tried and just stuck with SMB.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Team-Kodi PPA officially retired, switches to Flatpak
92·2 years agoExcept they can be hosted by the person/company making the software. This always seemed more trustworthy than AUR to me.
Of course there are also community PPAs that would need the same scrutiny as AUR packages.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Mozilla released a Firefox Nightly test build with vertical tabs - gHacks Tech News
1·2 years agoTab groups for the friendly name at the top of a set. Edge implemented vertical tabs. Not as good as tree, but better than across the top.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Mozilla released a Firefox Nightly test build with vertical tabs - gHacks Tech News
1·2 years agoI used to use Chrome at work. When Edge added vertical tabs I jumped to that immediately.
Now that IT is allowing FireFox I switched to that with Tree Style Tabs. I am missing the tab groups from Edge, but the tree is worth it.
Yes tree tabs with groups would indeed be perfect.
I’m subscribed to https://bugalert.org/ RSS feeds, but it seems they haven’t had any activity since October last year.
Does anyone know what happened to them?

Programming@beehaw.org•Powershell: How do I update my code to use a different file type?
1·2 years agoThe confusion is that CSV is also just a Notepad text file that uses Commas to Separate Values.
They are asking about what kind of values are in it.

Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Tablet Android pen-drawing app
3·2 years agoFound this. I think it’s pretty new.

Edit: the app link, not search results.

I suspect the studies with small numbers of spread out participants are missing the inflation effects.
We need a study of a whole town to see if giving everyone extra money is going to make the price of everything go up by the same amount.
I’m hopeful this is a good idea and would likely vote for it, but I worry a bit that it will be pointless in the end.
