Back when the first SD Card adapter for the PS Vita was released it only came with some CAD files. So I ordered like a hundred PCBs from a Chinese manufacturer, alongside the MicroSD slots, soldered them at home and sold them for five bucks a pop on eBay. Cost me less than one buck per piece in parts. I didn’t make a lot, but it was some nice money for a broke student

Over 60% of all private bankruptcies in the US are due to medical issues. The system is broken
You can still run Illumos/OpenIndiana, driver support will be spotty though

Programming@programming.dev•Devs sound alarm after Microsoft subtracts C/C++ extension from VS Code forks
9·7 months agoYeah, they have already done this with other extensions like Python, this is not new behavior.
Honestly the biggest reason to stay away from VS Code

Yeah, had to use a Moto G34 5G for the last few weeks, it’s insane how Android is killing apps left and right with “just” 4GB of RAM. Have apps really gotten that much less efficient?

Linux@lemmy.ml•Completed NTSYNC Driver Merged For Linux 6.14: "Should Make Many SteamOS Users Happy"
191·10 months agoHoly shit, I thought that it would bring some minor improvements, but those benchmarks are insane
I’ve looked it up and it’s even uglier and I can kinda understand why they did it this way Basically, for their “integrations” they aren’t using any official APIs. Instead they just use the websites and automate them via the Playwright framework. So for each user they have a VM running with a Chrome browser to access the services. So now they have the problem that they need to get their users session cookies into the browser. And the easiest solution for that is having the users access their VM via VNC and just log into the automated browser.
This is such a hacky solution that I’m actually in awe of it’s shittiness. That’s something you throw together in an all-nighter during a Hackathon, not a production ready solution

I have the original PinePhone lying around, it was honestly already a piece of crap when it came out. Laggy to all hell for me with horrible battery life. Maybe it’s gotten better since then, but I can’t recommend it
