You’re inferring a tone where there isn’t one.

I was asking if this is a common misconception as I had assumed the userbase here was generally pretty tech savvy, and confusing GPS with internet seemed particularly strange.

There is no “uplink”, eg transmission of data from the client back to the satellite.

Is this what people think? That you need an internet connection tion to use GPS?

Not a bad book, he even managed to resist inserting a weird sexual-side-plot into this one!

Curious to see what style they’ve gone with for the spider aliens, and how they’ll handle the large chunks of narrator exposition which explain what the hell is going on without just having him talk to himself all the time

trust the lighting would work in a life-like manner

Ah we’ve had raytracing for a long time already, and you can download something like Blender and play around with it yourself. You’ll quickly discover that just because it conforms to some real-world principles (and works in a reliable manner) doesn’t mean it’s a magic tool that Just Works and immediately makes anything look good.

You still have to setup your world lighting (point/sun lights, skyboxes, emissive materials, whatever), adjust it to get the look you want, and your hardware requirement for testing this are now increased.

Raytracing is nice because it can make things look even better, not because it replaces parts of the workflow.

There is absolutely nothing about raytracing which makes it “easier” for devs compared to a traditional render pipeline.

The extra performance rquirements alone mean you’re going to be doing more work elsewhere to make up for it, and that’s ignoring the current bugs/quirks with RT in whatever engine you’re using.

Power button is a perfectly valid way to turn off a modern PC. They don’t kill power the way they used to, they send a signal to the PC to shut itself down. Exactly the same as using the start menu.

“Sad they never released the doc”

They released hundreds of updates and god knows how much extra content, what DLC were you wanting?

Yes… That’s matchmaking.

Matchmaking requires servers.

No idea what the fuck that is supposed to mean, or how its relevant to the comment chain.

You had to ask? Do you want to buy a bridge?

From the channel Ordinary Sausage on YouTube.

It started off funny, got disgusting pretty quickly.

Roblox uses luau, which is similar enough to Lua that it absolutely does teach you transferable skills. Knock the platform all you like, but it’s not so dissimilar from other game engines that you come away with nothing.

Honestly, I like developing for it, and that’s coming from unity.

I suspect you’re getting down voted because these are decidedly average, and you posted several of them at once.

How is this preferable to just building your own itx machine?

I understand the appeal of a framework laptop, where getting a chassis and mainboard with extended hardware support is otherwise impossible. But how is this better than the existing options?

You can add it as a right-click option to Firefox:

• Install: http://webextension.org/listing/external-application-button.html
• In the Extension options, add an application
• Name it something like “Open in YT-DLP: mp4”
• Set the exe name to the path of a local copy of yt-dlp
• Set the arguments to be -S res,ext:mp4:m4a --recode mp4 [HREF]
• Under the Placement options -> Context Menu -> select “All Contexts”

You should now be able to right click on a YouTube page and choose “External Application launcher -> Open in YT-DLP: mp4”

If you want audio only, add another application in the extension settings and use the arguments -f ba[ext=m4a] [HREF] for m4a files.

Might need an update. Just fixed mine by grabbing the latest release from 2 weeks ago.

You can use the OpenWith extensions to add it as a right click option.

I have this setup for my non-technical family members, so they just right click on the page choose open with -> ytdlp and it saves it to their downloads folder.

You can set up different options for example video or audio only.

• In Firefox install: http://webextension.org/listing/external-application-button.html
• In the Extension options, add an application
• Name it something like “Open in YT-DLP: mp4”
• Set the exe name to the path of a local copy of yt-dlp
• Set the arguments to be -S res,ext:mp4:m4a --recode mp4 [HREF]
• Under the Placement options -> Context Menu -> select “All Contexts”

You should now be able to right click on a YouTube page and choose “External Application launcher -> Open in YT-DLP: mp4”

If you want audio only, add another application in the extension settings and use the arguments -f ba[ext=m4a] [HREF] for m4a files.

The US version of Ghosts is also much better than the UK version which inspired it.

They are having a lore more fun with the universe/rules and exploring the Ghosts characters more. If the US version had the UK lead actress instead it’d be perfect
