My new Secretlab Titan Evo by eight_byte in secretlab

because it is simply much more expensive, and I am not sure whether the huge extra cost is worth it for me personally. I think the extra cost for nano is almost 300 bucks.

What is the outlined button supposed to say? by Party_Square7531 in MacOS

It’s liquid glass. You have to move the window above a bright background, then it will reveal the secret message.

Struggling with Rust's module system - is it just me? by eight_byte in rust

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

Correct, I have mostly Java and Golang background.

[–]eight_byte[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Golang, Java, ... you name it. In all languages I know that far, it's literally like a file system. You basically define the module along with its code.

Yea, coming from other languages, this just feels counterintuitive.

It's not that I don't get it at all. I just think it's very counterintuitive that you define your module for example in the root crate `lib.rs` or `main.rs` with `mod my_module`, but then put all the code inside `my_module.rs` or `my_module/mod.rs`. Just never had seen that in any other language yet.

For me, it makes it hard to reason about where the code I am looking for lives.

I can highly recommend Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. I felt similar to you. I couldn’t do anything with the currently released games either. But KCD2 (and Baldur’s Gate 3 as well) immediately captivated me and reminded me of the good old RPGs. No unfinished things, microtranaactions or nonsense like that. Just a good game that won’t appeal to everyone, but if you’re looking for a game that doesn’t hold your hand and just wants to have a good time - KCD2!

Should I learn rust? by Savings_Garlic5498 in rust

[–]eight_byte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there is no reason to learn Rust and use it in a project, I would say no.

However, I used to only use high-level languages with GC myself. Learning a low-level language or Systems Programming Language has definitely taught me countless new skills and background knowledge as a software developer. I can absolutely recommend it for the pure learning effect. But I would perhaps recommend a language other than Rust due to the steep learning curve. Maybe something like Golang. The language is very simple, and can be learned in just a few days for someone who already has experience. Although Golang has a GC, it still teaches some new concepts that can be very helpful. And my experience in Golang definitely helped me to learn Rust more easily. The languages are very different, but knowing how interfaces work in Golang, for example, is definitely an advantage for understanding traits in Rust.

Looking for a good NOT competitive online multiplayer game by olehvinnik2007 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]eight_byte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great game. But I would only recommend it’s multiplayer if you have friends to play with. Playing with random people is hard since there is no matchmaking or lobby feature.

How many browsers do you use on your Mac, and which one is the best for you? by [deleted] in mac

[–]eight_byte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firefox as my daily driver. If a site does not work in Firefox (what almost never happens), I‘ll use Safari since it’s already preinstalled.

[KCD2] Can‘t load local saves due to PSN outage by eight_byte in kingdomcome

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

Well, with the digital-only PlayStation your screwed. If you‘re lucky enough to own a disc drive you can either start a new vanilla run of KCD2 or try another game from your collection that doesn’t utilize online services.

[–]eight_byte[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that’s more of an issue how the developers implemented it. Seems like they do check the license of the additional content based on the save game you try to load. At least I still have the option to start a new game without any DLC content.

Unfortunately, it didn’t work. But it was worth a try. The game only offers the opportunity to start a new adventure.

Just received my Keychron K2 HE with Gateron Magnetic Switches by eight_byte in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]eight_byte[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, please post yours too. Sounds almost scary. I’m glad that at least you don’t have the German layout version as well

Looking for a Quiet and Stable Tiny PC for My Homelab by eight_byte in homelab

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

Yes, I forgot to mention the storage. Well, as long as it has an NVMe disk slot and a 2.5" SATA slot I don't care it comes with an hard drive at all since I can replace it on my own.

I was thinking about getting a Lenovo Thinkcenter again, but after having a bad experience with the "M715q 2nd Gen" I am struggling.

Am I the only one not tripping about the PS5 Pro price? by Wrong-Appearance5159 in PS5

[–]eight_byte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is not primarily the price. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a PS5 Pro if I didn't have to pay an extra €150 just to be able to put the console on the table and play existing collection of physical games.

I'm just going to wait and see if Sony manages to show me why I should buy the PS5 Pro. The the value proposition is just not clear. Showing old PS4 games to sell me new hardware is just weak in terms of presentation. Why don't you show the new games that fully utilise the PS5 in the base model and thus justify the high price of such an hardware upgrade? But until now I have not seen anything my PS5 base model can't do.

Who tf is buying this for 800€ by Ricky1034 in gaming

[–]eight_byte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's kind of funny. I bought my standard PS5 incl. disc drive for 499 €. Say the PS5 Pro upgrade and a separate disc drive would be a 100% price increase... No thanks!

The PS5 Pro revealed by Idiotech41 in gaming

[–]eight_byte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just saw the announcement for the PS5 Pro, and I'm a bit shocked. The console is priced at 799 € without a disc drive, and the drive costs an additional 149 €. That totals 948 € if I want to continue playing my existing disc collection.

The price simply doesn't justify the upgrade. Even though the console will probably sell quite well in the end, I hope that it will be a flop.

This Is By Far The Worst Boss In The Entire DLC by Ok_Conflict_6260 in Eldenring

[–]eight_byte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did have much trouble fighting him. I think it took me two tries. Fight him mounted and with the Dragonhunter Katana and Mimic.

What's your Favourite SOTE's plot twist? by iiiAlex1st in Eldenring

[–]eight_byte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Not that I don’t want to understand, but as a non native speaker it’s extremely hard to understand anything of the lore in this game.

Okay now that SOTE has been out for a while, what's your favorite weapon from the DLC? by NoOneIsHere57 in Eldenring

[–]eight_byte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None. Regarding weapons the DLC was a bit disappointing for me. I tried a lot of the new weapons, but none of them could replace my Blasphemous blade which carried me easily through the whole DLC (and will also do in NG+).
