Get rid of the plastic, attach it to one of your own gloves.

Way better experience. Also really good for home grown vr in the early 90's (combined with some LCDs nabbed off camcamcorders and a VGA to s-video (or composite) converter).

i'd love to see a new powerglove. Though I think at this point an esp32 and some sensors could do all the same tricks... Hmmmm...

I don't know if I can agree on that, I personally find osx frustrating even today with how little control users are provided with, but I've also been a Linux user for far longer than just about anything else.

Still though, I do put OSX above Windows these days - purely based on software, not their hardware/price - for being easier than windows.

With package managers and stable desktop solutions (Debian for example), I think it's easier now than ever to ditch the proprietary and have a better experience.overall as a user.

If it works for you, great. To me that's a risk of more stuff that could break and cause problems when you could just have a DC barrel and move on.

I can definitely think of some edge cases where it would be handy though.

"Hulking out"?

He made a mistake assumption, I provided info, he responded with nastiness, I blocked. I really don't see what you're hung up on here.

[-] realbadat@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Nah, try reading through his messages in order. He gets nasty right away, as he did to another who pointed out his mistake. I figured I'd provide some supporting context, he again behaved like a dick. So I blocked him.

Doesn't seem problematic to me at all.

FOSS is always a better option, as of today I don't think anything compares. And since they aren't a big company doing shady things, the licensed version is permanent, no big company buyout is going to impact anything other than upgrades.

[-] realbadat@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

I'm going to have to disagree pretty hard.

Biden won't do much of anything to move things where they need to be, absolutely. But Trump is going to make it much worse - and a few months before an election, those are the only choices.

To get more progressives in requires starting lower down. Local, county, and state representatives. Shawn Fain, for example, would have a good chance in a state election. More folks like Cori Bush or Jeff Merkley representing their state at the federal level.

With Trump elected - democracy is at stake, we've already seen that just a few years ago. You're not getting progressives anywhere in a Trump presidency.

Voting for one doesn't move the needle. Voting for the other, or not voting at all and taking a vote against a potential future, is guaranteed to make things worse.

Suggesting Trump and Biden are the same and yield the same results is absolute lunacy.

  1. On the same line this time.
[-] realbadat@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Yep... It's permanently where it's at at purchase.

Which is fine, I don't store anything on there (Jenkins automations to build, local git repo on another machine, output goes to NAS), but it's ridiculous how much the upgrades cost.

If I didn't need a build target for iOS I wouldn't have bothered with it, that's for sure.

[-] realbadat@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Or a mini.

I have an M2 mini I use for iOS builds, cheap enough for me to buy and stick in the rack to use for remote builds. I got that a year ago for $600ish iirc.

Bigger number sounds better for the ISP.

The clothes are definitely different quality. Walmart also has alternate, lower quality versions of the same products. Literally from the manufacturer with a slightly different product code.

Ran into that replacing a coffee maker, interestingly enough - almost exactly the same device minus a few features, advertised with the same name, but different from the previous version as well (checked the manufacturers website).

So I would not personally say the quality is equal, but I also don't shop at them often either.
