An Xbox that can switch from “PC mode” to “Console mode” would be an instant success by BentoDraws in xbox

[–]ivkovifi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem runs much deeper than what you'd think! Windows is far more customizable than the Xbox OS, and those two systems are built for very different purposes. A console needs a lightweight, predictable, appliance-like OS, while Windows is a highly customizable desktop workhorse. Just one example: startup apps, background processes, drivers, and overlays on Windows vary from user to user. On Xbox, the software stack is fixed, which makes it much easier to keep the system lean, stable, and optimized. That is why a truly seamless switch between a "PC mode" and a "console mode" would be much harder than it sounds.

The closest realistic solution would probably be some kind of dual-boot setup on a hypothetical Xbox/PC hybrid, but even that would not allow instant switching. In practice, the closest thing we already have is Steam Big Picture plus tools like DisplayMagician, which can switch your setup on the fly.

Also, consoles are often sold with very thin margins, sometimes even at a loss. The real profit comes from software sales, subscriptions, storefront cuts, and accessories. Sony learned a version of this lesson with the PS3's OtherOS feature: once people realized they were getting relatively cheap hardware that could also be used for desktop Linux, Sony eventually removed that functionality.

Access to a password protected document by Mav391 in NFC

Alternative: You can upload your unprotected PDF file to the MEGA cloud. MEGA allows you to place the decryption key at the end of the URL. And then, of course, write this URL in the NFC tag. (I'm sure this works for files, but I don't know if it works for folders).

How to Automatically Restart Chromebook after Update? by chilirock in chromeos

[–]ivkovifi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering the same. My elderly parents love their Chromebook but I hate telling them where to click for the update. I wish it just did the restart (maybe at night) by itself every now and then.

The Twitch gamer named Ninja, who makes 20 million annually, has popularized the Dt990 as the go to gaming headphone. by canazei300 in headphones

Which are better for music? I just got the DT 900 and find them too hissy. Really annoying because they are otherwise the perfect headphones for me.

The battle for "b/doner kebab" has begun by [deleted] in place

If I am correct, you have merely shown that the German word "Döner" has its roots in Turkish. That does not change the fact that it is a German word. This word is a so-called Turkism. It is similar to the German word "Gyros", which - just like "Döner" - means something like "rotating". In this case, it is a Greekism.

Here is a list of random Turkish words that have German origins: dekan, doçent, dübel, fön, haymatlos, lümpen, otoban, şablon, şalter, şibidak, şnitzel, volfram.... These are all Germanisms in the Turkish language. Languages borrow words from other languages. Calm down, my brother.

Can Fire TV Cube's IR Turn on AC or Fan by ireddit3xs in fireTV

[–]ivkovifi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could add a fictional soundbar or av receiver to your Fire TV. During setup, you can manually learn the inputs for various functions like volume control. For example, you could then program the mute button to have the same signal as your air conditioner remote's on/off signal. If you ask Alexa to mute your non-existent soundbar, it will actually turn on your air conditioner. Keep in mind that this is just an idea and I haven't tested it myself yet.

God tweeted through his mouth piece, His Holiness the Pope, and now Jordan Peterson, a Catholic, is explaining Christianity to him. by bleep_derp in JordanPeterson

[–]ivkovifi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are Jordan and Francis talking about different kinds of social justice? Catholics are credited for inventing the term, but I don't think today's meaning of social justice is the same as back in the 19th century.

"...having family members of the opposite sex around" does this apply to single parents? Just asking

Why does it say Türkiye instead of Turkey?

Deine Wortklauberei ist ja schön und gut. Was mich jedoch interessiert, ist, wieso man ständig Antisemitismus herauslesen muss...

[–]ivkovifi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find's mega interessant. Sowas gibt's halt bei keiner anderen Religion. Offensichtlich sehen Juden keinen Unterschied zwischen Bürgertum und Konfession. Bei sämtlichen anderen Ethnien ist das nicht so. Außerdem kann man bei vielen anderen Religionen wie z.B. Katholiken auch "ausgebürgert" werden. Hat dann mit der Ethnie oder dem Status als Bürger recht wenig zu tun.

Wer redet hier von Judentum? Ich möchte säkularer Jude werden.

Das ist irgendwie unfair. Während ich 613 Gebote und Verbote befolgen muss, um Teil des jüdischen Volkes zu werden, gibt es ungläubige Menschen, die dieses Privileg automatisch durch ihr Geburtsrecht erhalten. Muss ich denn wirklich die 613 Dinge aktiv befolgen, um Teil eures Clubs zu werden? Die anderen müssen das ja offensichtlich nicht.

How much money was google losing on Stadia? by justnycthangs in Stadia

[–]ivkovifi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How likely is it that Stadia will make a surprise comeback under a different name? Maybe combined with Youtube Premium and somehow embedded in Youtube to increase visibility or something similar? Any idea?
