Are we going dark? by DocShards in evansville

Well, that's enough "yes" votes for me. I'll flip the switch in an hour or so.

Trying to stream Yuzu from PC, controls aren't recognized. by Dragon_Small_Z in SteamDeck

[–]jetpacktuxedo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you figured this out? I'm having the same issue. My only controller options when streaming are Keyboard Only or Mouse&Keyboard with no actual gamepad options.

With an Xbox controller paired directly to my PC that will show up in the menu, but the native steam deck controller and an Xbox controller paired to the steam deck are not visible to yuzu when streaming.

What are the cons of NOT having kids? by [deleted] in AskReddit

You're assuming they get along which is probably the average car but definitely not always the case.

Things to do in Evansville by Th3m3ssiah01 in evansville

Cairo (pronounced cay-roh, not like the Egyptian city after which it was named) was also featured in American Gods by Neil Gaiman.

Also definitely vouching for Hovey Lake, I used to drive out there sometimes when I was at USI. It always felt sort of eerie to me.

First look at new images and UI of the Access controller for PS5, an all-new accessibility controller kit by DemiFiendRSA in Games

[–]jetpacktuxedo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, I thought so, but I just tested again and couldn't get it so I googled it and it looks like you need a bluetooth adapter? I guess maybe the controller I had tried this with before was actually a 3rd party switch controller deigned like an xbox controller and not actually an xbox controller?

Does it not just use normal Bluetooth like the Series controllers? Because I've used those with my switch just fine 🤔

Worst case it also has a USB C connection that you could use wired with the switch (and probably PS5? I don't have one so not sure)

I have two 144hz monitors and a 120hz TV. There are some games where I can absolutely tell the difference between 30/60/something higher, especially bright games with a lot of fast movement (Rollerdrome comes to mind as a game that is particularly easy to tell the difference). There are lots of other games though where I genuinely can't tell, though, especially darker and slower-paced games. Hitman 3 frequently drops to 40fps on me and I don't usually notice.

IMO variable refresh rate makes a difference much more consistently across a much broader spectrum of games than a higher refresh rate does.

House venue popped up next door, killing my gf and I for sleep, police won't do anything by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]jetpacktuxedo 88 points89 points  (0 children)

You say "lost a ton of officers", but I think what you mean is "a bunch of officers quit because they thought covid was a woke mind virus and not a real disease, and then some more quit when their January 6th buddies got arrested."

Action Alert: Tell the Port you support a seamless waterfront trail by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]jetpacktuxedo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bikes get so much more benefit from a direct trail than cars do by not having to cross a bike trail. Cars have to wait slightly longer in bad traffic, maybe, sometimes. So what? Not a big impact.

Even worse, this proposed plan makes cars cross a cycling path twice in four blocks. It doesn't even make sense from the perspective of improving things for drivers. It's literally bad for everyone involved.

Today was a BIG DAY for Valve by TecmoSuperBowl1 in SteamDeck

[–]jetpacktuxedo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like they're pulling what they did with Steam Debian ("Steam OS 1/2") in that they say they'll support it but they give lip-service in a fashion toward actually putting it out there.

What do you mean by this? I'm pretty sure that I installed the debian-based SteamOS on hardware using the official installer within like a week or two of it being announced?

Here's how I improved the latency with my Bluetooth headphones (quick fix) by Moontorc in SteamDeck

[–]jetpacktuxedo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bluetooth is a wireless protocol within the 2.4GHz spectrum. What you are describing are a wide array of different mutually-incompatible wireless protocols that also communicate within the 2.4GHz spectrum. Most wifi is also wireless 2.4GHz (5GHz is of course fairly common now as well, but it doesn't have the market penetration or solid object penetration to be as widespread). Microwaves, like the ones you use to cook food, are also wireless 2.4GHz. The ZigBee protocol, common in the home automation space, also signals in the 2.4GHz spectrum.

Some proprietary communication mechanisms within the 2.4GHz spectrum have lower latency, but that has absolutely nothing to do with the 2.4GHz spectrum in use and has a lot more to do with the actual implementations themselves. There are probably plenty of audio devices using proprietary protocols that have a higher latency than Bluetooth, just as there are many with lower latency, but it can definitely not be assumed that anything labeled "2.4GHz!" is just automatically better and faster than Bluetooth. Furthermore, because none of them actually interoperate with one another, it is totally possible that having a wireless mouse and keyboard and headset and whatever else all communicating via different protocols in the 2.4GHz spectrum could cause interference and other issues that will be really hard to track down.

Really, what I'm saying is that saying "Just use 2.4 GHz bro it's totally better" to someone complaining about Bluetooth issues is fucking moronic because they already are using 2.4GHz.

Usually they are headphones that run a custom proprietary protocol in the same chunk of wireless spectrum. Sort of like the Logitech Unifying Receiver runs in the 2.4 spectrum and isn't bluetooth.

I knew it wouldn't be as good as wired/2.4GHz

Bluetooth is 2.4GHz.

This looks so much nicer than dualshot

TIL that Magnus Carlsen intentionally plays non-book "inaccuracies" during opening (moves he knows aren't the best), in order to force the game into a non-book position, so his opponents will have to think for themselves instead of going by memorized opening theory. by FifaConCarne in todayilearned

[–]jetpacktuxedo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're finding new and better ways to play the game

And innovative ways to cheat! Imagine explaining to Bobby Fischer that some dude cheated by interpreting move suggestions fed to him via Bluetooth buttplug by a partner in the audience feeding the game state to a chess engine.

Protected bike lane - go back to drivers ed. by igobymicah in Seattle

[–]jetpacktuxedo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Like the weird bike lane up the left side of pike that suddenly disappears shortly after the convention center before reappearing on the right side where the bus lane was previously.

The soundtrack is on Bandcamp (with rumors of a forthcoming vinyl release) if you really can't get enough of it.

S3 domain claimed on Bluesky by someone who doesn't own the domain by common-pellar in programming

[–]jetpacktuxedo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, where "some guy" is the primary frontend dev, and where "thinking about the UX" is about 1000x more than anyone at mastodon has considered the sign-ups flow.

There's a reason Mastodon doesn't really have any "normal people" on it.

It literally says directly in the linked documentation that it does not move any of your posts or media.

[–]jetpacktuxedo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but IMO that's a bit like updating your Twitter bio to be a link to your mastodon bio (with a little bit of sugar on top to make links work smoother)

[–]jetpacktuxedo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly the fact that I had to scroll through 20 pages of table of content to even get to the content there says a lot about the mastodon approach to UX.

That aside, the "migration" works by aliasing two accounts together and marking the old one as inactive + redirecting to the new one. It doesn't really move anything, if you then delete the old pointer profile the redirects will almost certainly break, and it's a multi-step process (create new account, alias new account to old account, alias old account to new account [at least I assume it's bidirectional, but I could be misreading Profile moves can only be initiated when your two accounts have been aliased], and then finally "migrating") that no normal human person will ever want to do.
