12 years? You’re thinking of murder. He’s taking rich people’s money, he’d never see daylight again.

Doesn’t have the depth, warmth, or ability to bring joy to others.

That’s probably only true for USB power supplies - a USB adapter isn’t set up to do anything with voltage and probably just passes the positive and negative pins through.

The VGA adapter feeding power back through USB in the first place, yeah, that’s not supposed to happen.

With USB power delivery, you can get 9V, 12V or higher over USB. Usually the device requests higher voltage from a PD charger, but it’s not impossible for a modern device to be able to cope with just having 12V shoved into it.

Signals aren’t magic, they consist of electrical power. You can get at least a little bit of power from anything that isn’t an optical port.

Teaching sand to think was a mistake.

What, you don’t have to sling yours over one shoulder to keep it out of the way?

Okay, but the people playing on 5090s aren’t interested in barely getting 60 fps.

There’s no amount of hardware that shitty software can’t piss down the drain.

Should I rebuild my base in Factorio to massively boost copper and circuit production or just wait for module production to catch up?

Nobody knows, that’s why they’ve stopped post instead of just charging you the fee.

People tend to imagine owning an electric vehicle and doing exactly the same things with it that they do with a gas car, so a 5 minute charge on the way to work every week or two. But that’s not what you actually do.

You can tell people about home charging and that you haven’t been to a charging station in six months, but they won’t really get it until they drive an EV themselves. You only fast charge on long trips, and by the time your car needs charged you need a break and a coffee. My car charges pretty slowly and it’s still ready to go before I am.

Even electric trucks do okay on 350 kW charging - driving time rules mean that if you plug in when you take a break, the truck won’t run out of miles before the driver runs out of hours.

The big charging number gets the attention, but installing more chargers in more places is really what’s needed. And 50 kW chargers for charging trucks overnight.

Note that this isn’t vkd3d-proton, the one people are using for gaming.

I wouldn’t say I was friends with Windows. It’s more like escaping an abusive relationship IMO.

FYI, there’s a modern Descent-like game called Overload.

It has VR support.

Fun fact: Overload supports VR.

It didn’t make me motion sick, so I’m confident nothing ever will.

As we saw with Intel GPUs performance isn’t even the main issue, it’s the drivers. How many games will run on it without crashing or having bizarre performance problems?

Put a strip of tape across the top of the screen.

The problem it solves might not be a problem for anybody but Google. They might be trying to build their own OS to put on future devices.
