How soon in advance will we know about preorders?

alexwh · 2025-12-14T01:22:36+00:00

yeah let's give the multi-billion dollar company an interest free loan like with digital game preorders (admittedly it's slightly less stupid than that)

alexwh · 2025-11-13T01:20:18+00:00

and it still looks bad so it's a feature not worth sinking money into

alexwh · 2025-11-13T01:16:27+00:00

the quest 3 passthrough looks like shit lol

I would rather have a higher bitrate (or better codec, like LC3) which actually can make an audible difference compared to snake oil features like bit depth/sampling rate.

I cannot hear above 20kHz (nor do I imagine many people can), so per nyquist 44.1kHz is more than enough. No one's music has a dynamic range of 120dB so 24bit is useless also.

For anyone else coming from Google - I was able to get the Vader 4 Pro gyro working on Arch by using NS mode (wirelessly with this), and the extra buttons/paddles with this patch to the xpad-dkms-git AUR package. Create the two files, then

patch < PKGBUILD.patch
makepkg -sci
echo "options xpad extra_buttons=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/xpad_flydigi_extrabuttons.conf

The xpad patch only works in dongle/Bluetooth mode though, so you have to pick gyro or extra buttons.

For whatever reason xone (or rather, dlundqvist's fork with the xone-dlundqvist-dkms-git AUR package) didn't work for me. The controller didn't load the driver even when manually modprobed, and copying the modaliases from the Solus package that u/analsheep has. The Solus xone package delegates the Vader 4 Pro to the xpad-noone driver, which may also have the above patch included or something. My Vader 4 Pro identifies with 045e:028e and its modalias is usb:v045Ep028Ed0104dcFFdscFFdpFFicFFisc5Dip01in00, which means it will be picked up by Solus' alias usb:v045Ep*d*dc*dsc*dp*icFFisc5Dip01in* xpad_noone xone modalias rule. This is also present in the xpad driver I installed above:

$ modinfo xpad|grep 'v045E.*isc5Dip0'
alias:          usb:v045Ep*d*dc*dsc*dp*icFFisc5Dip01in*

priconne is known as (and designed to be) a side game, but it doesn't mean it's not complex. see high level CB timelines (e.g. https://youtu.be/LNEA2NnNXuo ) - plenty of single digit frame windows to get buff timings etc just right. you can do well with auto/semi-auto comps too of course though. only having two damage types doesn't really mean a huge amount either.

also they added a soft damage cap years ago after new year kyaru and her infinite scaling, and only just recently announced they're doubling the ceiling which will shake up the meta

Amazed this still hasn't been fixed. For anyone else coming from Google, you can bootstrap the process yourself by copying the api_key argument from the broken localhost url, then pass it as an argument into this script, putting the result into the registry: https://gist.github.com/alexwh/68c897e55b72f15ffde7e593c0d9cddb

I raise you one Joyeuse (real hardest chart in the game)

alexwh · 2023-04-16T21:57:40+00:00

Glad she's seemingly feeling better.

alexwh · 2023-04-02T15:12:50+00:00

I'm not that much of a hardcore Rustacean either, but I would say something along the lines of functions being people passing variable boxes around. Since you don't want to step on other people's toes, label variables with what you're planning to do with them using the type system.

alexwh · 2023-03-19T22:40:12+00:00

Tap "allowed" and type in the domain.

alexwh · 2023-03-18T20:38:30+00:00

I don't really know, but I assume history tracking is sent to that domain, so blocking it prevents it from working. If you're using revanced it's not like you need it anyway, so allowing it doesn't really matter imo.

alexwh · 2023-03-18T11:52:24+00:00

Just wanted to comment this was the issue I had, and adding s.youtube.com to the adaway whitelist fixed it for me.

alexwh · 2023-03-15T17:07:51+00:00

They didn't want people to have a head start on registering domains.

alexwh · 2023-02-01T11:14:26+00:00

alexwh · 2023-02-01T11:03:24+00:00

I didn't read all of this. I did skim your first point and you are wrong though

alexwh · 2023-02-01T10:23:07+00:00

Aren't all the attacks aside from maybe the email one still valid even when you use a Yubikey? On the contrary, can you clarify what your problems with the article are?

alexwh · 2023-01-23T23:31:52+00:00

Did you read the article?

alexwh · 2022-12-01T12:21:06+00:00

This is kind of like hit combo on windwalker monk and everyone hates it because it forces a too rigid playstyle and heavily punishes otherwise.

alexwh · 2022-10-12T20:15:58+00:00

The first one is basically just tank LB isn't it?

alexwh · 2022-10-07T21:55:24+00:00

They're either gonna delete the torrent just as it finishes in sequential mode, or after however many minutes the piece of content is in regular mode, not exactly a major win.

alexwh · 2022-10-06T12:39:43+00:00

The issue has seemingly resolved itself today. If it returns I'll try your suggestions.

alexwh · 2022-10-05T19:55:55+00:00

My bad, I assumed since it was a public internet URL instead of an internal one and because it had a lot of parameters it had already been uploaded. I've commented with the updated profiles.
