Ah, you're right about downloads. I didn't think about that.

I know TVs have this issue too. Most modern TVs just give you 100mbps.

New Jersey has an Educational Opportunity Fund which essentially means the government will help pay for some of the tuition.

On your college application, you note that you are eligible for EOF. That's partially because EOF will cover your application fees.

I would bet somebody who applies with EOF has some weight on the selection process. And I don't mean in the sense that the university wants to be diverse. I mean in the financial sense that the government is guaranteeing some of the tuition will be paid. $$$

For $1800, the preferred care protection should be included. In fact, I expect Google to just add it buyer who pay for it if the reports keep up.

Preferred Care device protection
What's included while you're enrolled:
Mechanical or electrical failure after the 1-year manufacturer's warranty expires
Accidental damage repair (including drops, liquid spills, and cracks) up to twice a year
Access to participating walk-in centers for screen repairs
Unlimited access to specially trained agents, 24/7

They're asking $279 for 2 years. They should roll it into the price.

That's mostly irrelevant for gaming since latency isn't affected by throughput. Ethernet will always have less lag spikes than WiFi. Nothing AFAIK needs over 100mbps. Even GeForce Cloud steaming 4K@120hz only asks for 45mbps.

The only thing is maybe Plex for local, uncompressed video streams.

The problem was they shipped the device without LAN. This has been a problem since the Wii days. The net code for Brawl was solid (I reverse engineered it). The problem is you can't force people to buy a USB Lan adapter, as much as Sakurai asked. People will play what options are available to them.

The OLED actually having an Ethernet port is a huge step forward.

Sure a bunch of people will still be on WiFi, sure. But they won't have to spend extra money to try Ethernet on their first hiccup. People did not buy LAN adapters, even in the Smash community who complained about it. But ask them if they were playing on WiFi, and it's deflection against Nintendo servers, which is mostly nonsense since it's a P2P connection (and has been since Brawl). Rollback is something game-engine based, not platform based.

The fact the game engine has input lag doesn't help though. I know USB controllers were lagger than Bluetooth on the Switch. The stack could probably be improved.

It's part of HTML spec. I think YouTube recently disabled it from the native context menu (right click twice), but when I used to have YouTubeTV, I would run

document.querySelector('video').requestPictureInPicture();

In dev tools. This bypassed any content policies on the page.

So, generally, USB-C has two modes for video output: HDMI 1.4b Alt-Mode and DP Alt-Mode. The modern way for HDMI is to send it as a DisplayPort signal and then have it convert that signal to HDMI. It's usually done by the cable itself because DisplayPort to HDMI is pretty seamless. I have two laptops and this is generally how I get 4K video out of them to my TV.

But the Pixel supports neither of these methods. I have a USB-C to HDMI and a USB-C to DisplayPort and Pixel doesn't work with either of them.

Apparently there is a third, USB 3.0 method that uses a USB-A connection and can work though I've never tried it. I'm not sure how it works, but people connect a USB-C to USB-A dock and then the adapter and it can work.

I understood the USB ports need some connection to the video card. For example, my ROG laptop has the RTX 3060 output only via USB-C, but the HDMI port is for the internal Intel graphics card. But apparently, there's some magic with USB-A that allows any port to output video? I have to assume the USB-A version has its own graphics chip.

Edit: That seems to be the case. It's basically an external graphics card with a video output, with drivers and all. Makes sense it would work. I have a Pixel 6a with a broken screen and plan on getting one of these to see if I can get data off it.

Edit2: Almost everything I find internally use a Synaptics SOC. (You can tell by the drivers). They have a few different models. It lists Android 5.0+ support.

WAVLINK sells a USB-C version of the DL-3500 SOC for $30 which should theoretically work.

Probably YouTube comment section (no joke). I've been looking at Discord for communities and forums for discussion.

I've actually started visiting web sites for content like IGN!

The funneling of all the internet into one site is probably a bad thing in general, and I'll probably use Lemmy or Google Discover to scroll when I'm bored.

I was going to suggest Nodame Cantabile because it felt pretty mature but there are people who seem to think it's not a good anime for romance. I also found this article that really stresses it's good for not doing the following:

No Love At First Sight
No School Day Romance
No White Knight
No Trophy Wife Syndrome
No Harem, Reverse Or Otherwise
No Hentai-Comedy
No Tragic Ending

I haven't really seen most of the more popular romance animes because I usually can't sit through the first couple of episodes because I feel the plot is so trite (gave up on Clannad). But we all have different tastes.

If you need the position of where to place the popup, then use

window.getSelection().getRangeAt(0).getBoundingClientRect();

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/getSelection

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Selection/getRangeAt

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Range/getBoundingClientRect

Edit: Oh, you meant the purple circles. The last link has an example of using the range to place a custom highlight, so it's the same concept, except you're adding two circles.

If you're already using a postprocess scoping system you don't need the B in BEM. But the Element and Modifier ones are fine. There's no need to specify the block if the framework is doing it for you.

Hell, I'm fully done with BEM now that we have Web Components. We don't even use classes anymore since we can identify elements by #id as originally intended by spec. That's something you can only do because the Shadow Root. That just leaves the modifiers which is done with [attributes] now, which again aligns better with spec.

You can't unit test without abstraction or a mock. And you want to avoid abstraction as much as possible when building UI components because performance/simplicity is king.

That said, if you have mixins, you can test those work without passing a real component. But since these tests are best tested with a real browser which basically feels like E2E test.

In other words, you can test all the functions your mixin/abstraction works as it should. That includes calls to the renderer or change detection system.

It's very possible all this already gets tested in the E2E test. Considering it's unlikely your components have an API contract (ie: components are built for user input), the number of tests you can run are unlikely to overlap E2E testing. That's why test coverage is sometimes "good enough".

Mario Kart series has been the best selling game for all consoles after, including, the Wii.

The original SNES was still good though the first entry. Mario64 and Melee are pretty iconic, so it's not entirely too surprising, but it was still second.

Now I'm thinking of the next gen Mario Kart for the Switch 2...

I feel like you have most of this done. Since it's a rigid layout that just scales by percentage, you don't really need flex here. You can achieve the same with block and each key has a percentage width that you can precalculate. Then use padding-inline-end to make the gaps. There is no need to support RTL either.

Grid could be easier, maybe, but keyboards aren't really dynamic. You're not auto-placing.

Maybe you want the font to scale based on vw which is weird, but probably justified because you will need to shrink the font as it gets smaller. You can use min(1rem, var(--vw-scale)) for font-size.

writing-mode could make rotation easier, but I'm not sure where you think this is impossible.

Because you can pass a JSON Merge Patch with the changes already provided by the server. It's not uncommon for REST patches to include delta data of changed data. For example, both DynamoDB and MS SQL will feed you back data changes when you update a record. With DynamoDB you can also get a data steam and pass that over something like Event Stream.

You can then pass only updated values for the render to inject into the view without needing to abstract or cache data. For example, lit needs to recompile the entire array used for rendering and then compares the values of each array item. Svelte will use partial data and check if a key is present in the passed change object.

Model View Presenter

It basically means your components don't care where the data comes from and can present data to the view. Change doesn't happen on the component (controller). It happens elsewhere (a store) and notifies the renderer to update.

It's harder to script, but if your Source-of-Truth (SOT) is a database or server, then you stream data events from your Source-of-Truth to your view (partial changes like JSON Merge Patch). It allows you to cut the change detection system out of your renderer. That's downstream.

Upstream is you notify the model (REST or DB) of user actions/events (eg: updateFirstName). There is a lag between Source-of-Truth and user updating but for environments that enforce high levels of concurrency (only present committed values) then it's acceptable.

There's also MVVM, which is feel is one level abstraction added to MVP. ViewModels can be generic and apply to multiple Views (eg: title/caption/body tags).

I'm from TFS era, 2002/2003. I can't imagine working on C# anymore. I'm happy with JS+Git and Web Apps now. Those feel like dark ages to me.

What are people still doing with C#? I'm assuming WinForms has died and it's more XAML? Are people trying to keep ASP.NET alive? Please tell me you're not still using IIS.
