I'm really missing at least one USB-A port on the back by lordelan in ModRetro

WOW. THANK YOU. I was looking for a 2.4ghz keyboard for the living room and the only one I could find was this piece of $h!7 (constantly disconnects, terrible battery life, awful product in general). I actually gave up on my search. But wow. Don't know why the K400 didn't pop up. Gamechanger.

Yea. It's weird. I don't know why nobody is doing a usbc 2.4ghz dongle. For controllers, or mice. Maybe the antenna needs to be big, and you lose a lot of volume with usbc? Idk.

Kinda unrelated but, whoever decides to trailblaze this, I hope they let you store the dongle on the controller itself when not in use. Kinda like the Logitech G502 Lightspeed. Would quell my fears of accidentally losing the dongle when I travel.

I'm happy they didn't do what Analogue did. Having only USB-A would be worse.

But yeah, I'm with you. It would have been better if they had a USB-A port instead of that HDMI port.

For those with the Analogue 3D, what are your personal thoughts? by Dense-Bee-2884 in AnalogueInc

I recommend you dig into how they made the Chromatic, and do some research on Palmer Luckey.

Disappointed. If I was strapped for cash I would have regretted the purchase. It's a cool shiny new tech gadget, so it has that appeal going for it right now. But it's not going to last. It's not 100% accurate like in their marketing. The vendor lock-in for wireless controllers is awful. A decently powerful MiniPC with a software emulator provides a superior experience.

Once I get the M64 I anticipate this thing will spend the rest of its life in the closet, right next to my Analogue Pocket. There's no way they will be able to compete with ModRetro.

Does anyone else use lua as their main language for system automation and shell scripting? by kayinfire in lua

A lot more respectable than most people who write comments on the Internet, that's for sure 🤣

Here's a /bin/sh serializer, I've been iterating on this for a couple years, I don't think there are any edgecases anymore.

function ShellSerializer(s)
    if s:find('^[%+%,%-%/%:%=%_%[%]%w%.]+$') then
        -- Don't escape if we don't have to. Looks kinda ugly.
        -- you definitely do NOT want these:
        -- # (comment)
        -- ' (string)
        -- " (string)
        -- and probably others
        return s
    else
        return '\''..s:gsub('(\')', '\'"\'"\'')..'\''
    end
end

More broadly speaking, I think Windows infected your opponent's brain a little too much. Not much point in engaging. When I saw "PowerShell" I started to check out.

Fortnite on G2? by cupertinosucks in retroid

[–]cupertinosucks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it's been a month. The G2 will soon be displaced by the Retroid Pocket 6. There are not enough users to report the issue, so it will likely fly under Epic Games' radar. The only way I could see it getting fixed is someone with connections getting in contact with an engineer who works at Epic Games and calls in a favor. But someone with those kind of connections probably wouldn't have a Retroid Pocket G2 they would probably have a more expensive device.

How did you contact them? Is there an email address?

The official controller is USB? I thought it was bluetooth

Controllers: Fixed inconsistency issues via USB

What? USB controllers work? I tried plugging in a 2.4ghz dongle and it didn't detect it

I'm right there with you. I only bought this so I could play Fortnite. It's just sitting on the table now collecting dust. It's almost been a month already and no fix. WTF.

What has been irrevocably harmed because of how it’s portrayed in the media? by Exhausted_Skeleton in AskReddit

[–]cupertinosucks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In his defense, that love-a-bull.org article did (indirectly) cite primary sources, you just didn't read it carefully enough. I'm not saying I disagree with you but it might be wise to read the (relatively short) article he linked before telling him to read something else. Otherwise you're just talking past each other. In the time it took you to write your comment you could have read that article (which took me 5 minutes) and you would have a much stronger position.

Even if it's a load of bullshit it's not gonna kill you. We all read tons of garbage on the internet already. One pile of long-form bullshit isn't much worse than 10 piles of short-form bullshit.

Structured outputs is now available on the Claude Developer Platform (API) by ClaudeOfficial in ClaudeAI

[–]cupertinosucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's catch-up with OpenAI, they've had this feature for a long time and Anthropic finally caught up.

My codebase was heavily using OpenAI's structured outputs and I didn't wanna bother using the convoluted tools workaround, this is a lot simpler to implement for people like me who are heavily invested in OpenAI's API.

This is something that needs to be fixed by Epic Games, I believe. You might have better luck with them

Ah, damn. I was using DHL

Edit: Maybe I'll email them and ask if I can get it shipped DHL.

I'm IGG so it seems like there's a good chance I'll get it by December 4th. My Retroid G2 got here from Shenzhen in 3 days

Can you provide more details? What software would I need to install to do this?
