Are We Too Dependent on Microsoft?
  • Unfortunately, even though you (or me) may not, some random person/company (that we rely on) probably is. And, when they go down, we are coming along no matter what.

    It is just me or the trackpad/cursor function on the iPad stop working?

    I have tried a the Magic Keyboard and a different bluetooth keyboard. This persists across reboot.

    I can still use the keyboard, but no cursor or trackpad gestures.

    Sentai Daishikkaku • GO! GO! Loser Ranger! - Episode 4 discussion
  • They cut a bit too much out of this ep. It is obvious that there are content than was made, but was cut later in production to rush the story along. This left the ep feeling disjointed, especially in the last part.

    I just hope that they make up for it later on.

    Former Microsoft developer says Windows 11's performance is "comically bad," even with monster PC
  • You did not misremembered it. They tried to make it difficult, got backlashed, then took a step back. All of it before Win11 was widely distributed, so some people never had to deal with it.

    With that said. MS still looking ways to try forcing you to use Edge. Recently, all of your Chrome tabs just got reopen into Edge, "due to a bug".

    Microsoft Surface Event 2024 rumors: Surface Laptop 6, Surface Pro 10, and more expected
  • I feel sorry for anyone who had to sat through this event. It was the most boring and soulless presentation I have ever seen. It it the definition of "This could have just been an email".

    How up to date is the Steam Flatpak?
  • Mesa comes as separate flatpaks which is hidden in the GUI, and is automatically install when you install a flatpak. The system can have multiple versions of the driver installed. When Steam is ready to use a newer Mesa version, it will do it automatically.

    Mangohud, on the other hand, is a flatpak you need to install manually via the command line. You should follow the instruction on their Github page for that.

    P.S: In case you like a GUI for things. You should install Flatseal, which provide a GUI for configuring flatpaks.

    AMD GPU Opencl usages
  • Apparently, the CAD software Ondsel is also not compatible with the mesa’s implementation; and it would just crash right after the boot.

  • There have been a implementation of Opencl in the Mesa driver for a year now, But, have any software start using it? I got no luck with both Davinci Resolve and F@H, and now I am curious.

    Apple fans are starting to return their Vision Pros
  • Microsoft’s game plan seems to be:

    1. Sell a cool idea, halfheartedly.
    2. Abandon the idea.
    3. Wait until someone else done it right.
    4. Ripe them off / play catch up.

    It was exactly like that for Windows on ARM.

    In other words, regardless of whether you like/hate Apple, if the Vision Pro does not success, then there probably won’t be any further investment in the space from MS either.

    I found it
  • Yeah. It is on by default for my iPad. And, boi, almost all third-party apps that I use does not work with that.

  • I have been trying to use the iPad as a laptop replacement for years. However, the behaviour of a connected keyboard has always been a source of frustration. Namely, the “space” key would often not act to insert a “space” character, but rather as “activate”. Which means, in many situation, it would trigger whatever button on the top/top-left of the screen instead; the “Back” button in a browser, for example.

    Anyway, I finally found where to change this behaviour in the Settings app, and thought I should share it. The setting is in: Accessibility > Keyboards > Full Keyboard Access > Command > Activate

    Personally, I replaced it with cmd+enter; but you can do whatever you want there.

    At some point in 2023, Crunchyroll decided that their users should not be allowed to stream their anime on through the website on mobile. This is a huge turn off for me, as I have developed a habit of keeping a Crunchyroll show on as a tab in the browser, which I would hop in an out as I do other things. I don’t know why they want to force me to use the app, nor do I care, as it is the service is unusable for me.

    For those who also want to switch off Crunchyroll, I will say Hidive is a good platform to throw some money at in 2024. They have been carrying many high quality shows in the past year, and you can stream via the website anywhere. Although, their app is pretty bad, for those who care.
