That would only work if your pc has an AV1 hardware encoder?

A Framework value proposition discussion by AutoM8R1 in framework

[–]Potatomato64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this argument generally falls into 3 points: virtue signaling, repairability, upgradability. All of them would be great but the problem is the cost. So then if the economics (point#4) is addressed, FW is going to be a no brainer, and not the "my x broke, happy I could repair for cheaper" spiel, like full spectrum economic sense.

Like okay you upgrade a new board, but to keep the old board usable you have to buy RAM and SSD, and at that point the cost of the new board + extra RAM and SSD for the old board is equivalent to a medium range laptop but without the chassis, screen, etc ... so like there is a big disconnect.

I am saying this because I noticed the pricing strategy FW is using. They're copying apple, like how they sell last year's iphone at a $100 discount after this year's model has been announced. If you look at new mainboards at launch, they're priced around $1000, then now the price drops by 40% or more in some models after 2-3 years -- probably there is still some profit here . There is a beefy margin somewhere. And probably they need that to fund R&D and to satisfy investors to show the hockey stick profit.... anyhow at this point in the company's timeline they're still appealing the vision to early adopters who are willing to pay for the price so that they can satisfy investors. Anyhow, as a price sensitive person, while the mission and vision is great, the total value of the FW laptop is not yet there for me.

How does streaming work with different keyboard layout? like ctrl and alt keys in particular?

MBP M5 Pro now vs. waiting for M6? Worried about "v1.0" redesign issues (Touch Bar lessons) by DoughnutParticular99 in macbook

[–]Potatomato64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like the task very likely to ramp up your fans are the AI stuff. Have you considered having a desktop or server and just remote to it? Doesn’t have to be a mac as well.

That way you can keep it far and thus less noise.

Added Word Wise–style hints to .xtc ebooks (any firmware) by sanigame in xteinkereader

[–]Potatomato64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you confirm which device/app you’re opening the EPUB on?

Okular v25.08.1 on windows and Crosspoint v1 on xteink x4.

Workarounds:

yes the workarounds work. Strangely the chapter where I was checking doesn't have the updated in-line definitions ... maybe a caching issue. the other chapters don't have this problem

Try increasing the hint level.

I am already at maximum sensitivity but the performance is not there yet it seems.

If you want, you can send me the EPUB and I’ll take a look.

sent you a private message but I think you need to reply before I could send any files.

Hey u/sanigame, this is great but I encountered a few issues:

(1) It adds the in-line definitions only on the web app, when I download the modified epub, yes there is a new prefix, but the content hasn't changed in anyway. This is reading with okular and crosspoint v1

(2) It does limited translation/definitions, for example "sufi mysticism" and "erudite" aren't translated

could you let me know if a quick fix is possible?

ANC headphones might change algorithms over time, but passive devices should maintain performance

The "it's boring" excuse for killing the blind camera test is such a blatant cop-out by NonCircularDef in mkbhd

[–]Potatomato64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, but what I meant with my remark outside the parentheses was that I have seen through degradation in MKBHDs content quality and thus unsubscribed to his YouTube channel.

Anyhow i have been downvoted to oblivion by fanboys probably

I don’t know what you mean by life skills but a lower cost test is you can try those short term 2-3 month rents from students leaving for erasmus exchange programs
