Can’t wait to see this team, but I don’t understand why they paid this much. Wow.

Wow, the “little” max has gotten big! Going to take a while to get used to these numbers.

Musk is gross and SpaceX has some questionable marketing claims that you’ve identified, but I don’t see how anyone could claim that anything about the company’s products are a shitshow.

Falcon 9 has radically changed the economics of the space industry, and has no competition to force lower prices.

Starship has had a very successful testing campaign, and operates within a different development paradigm than Saturn. They’ve shown more progress on more technology in the last year than almost any rocket ever. It won’t be long before Starship has demonstrated all the capabilities you mentioned. While the price tag is large in absolute terms, it will be very cheap relative to the competition.

Dear Moon was not canceled by SpaceX, and no one who follows the industry has ever believed Musk’s timelines.

I guess I’m confused, because everything I know about Starship points towards it being one of the most incredible engineering accomplishments ever. There are lots of other problems with SpaceX’s leadership, environmental impact, and work culture, but aren’t the products inspiring?

This is really well done!

Commenting to boost this post, but roll again if you land on me. Thanks OP :)

Yeah that’s fair. I’m pretty low on these Mavs and would bet against them in a re-run of these playoffs, but they’ve certainly made a good case for themselves and initial odds are partly hype-based.

I’m not sure how to justify those Mavs odds. They had a great run, but will anyone be picking them over the Nuggets or Thunder (or Grizzlies?) next year? I’d expect them to be a 5 or 6 seed.

What a weird situation. I suppose it’s nice those workarounds exist, even if they’re not ideal.

Wow, Graphene really doesn’t have charging limits?

I assume this is the discussion you referred to, and I think it broke my trust in the project.

Edit: As far as I can tell, many of the frustrating parts of that thread are from random posters and not devs. I’m still annoyed that such a basic feature is considered controversial.

Thanks for this! I’ve spent several dozen hours trying to get SteamVR working well on Linux, and finally gave up.

Is the Monado experience close enough to Windows to be usable? Are you aware of any major tradeoffs?

At this point I accept that Valve probably can’t compete with the billions poured into the Meta Quest 3, but I’m glad they understand there’s an enthusiastic audience for whatever they do next.

Correct, here’s a guide to enabling Wayland.

I’ve never had OP’s problem, but another avenue I’d consider is to set display settings in the nvidia-settings app, which can be opened with a GUI from the terminal. These settings are separate from those in the normal settings menu, in ways I don’t totally understand.

Darn. You may already be aware of it, but ProtonDB is an excellent resource. People share their experiences with specific games, and quite often someone will have found a workaround for problems.

(Sorry for the delayed response, my app didn’t alert me)

I’ve had luck with Proton GE as a solution to cutscene problems on several games.

Looks way more capable than the PineTime, which is awesome. But there’s no way the blood pressure sensor is reliable, right?

I expected to roll my eyes at this article but it’s actually quite compelling and well written. The Kagi website’s lack of nuanced privacy discussion already turned me off, and now I’m just going to pretend the service doesn’t exist.

Thanks for posting this!

I just bought Ragnarock for full price, but thankfully can still refund it.

Ragnarock is incredible, for anyone who hasn’t tried it!

I was really confused about what type of cross section I was looking at, but the second response gave a helpful diagram.

What scanners do people recommend?

Okay, this is the part that confused me. Thanks, I’ll check it out!
