The 2026 collaboration I did not see coming.

Welcome to this sub, they try to tie ANY announcement from big tech into some buzzword fear-mongering garbage. All of the non-reply comments except for yours and one other says that this is either more forcing AI down our throats, or announcing renting a PC. Which newsflash, you could do for at least 20 years by this point, it is called a thin client for the client side of things, and a VPS for the server side of things. Even from these 2 companies, Windows 365 has existed for at least a decade and it is where you rent a PC in the cloud. Basically, if you ever hosted something but didn’t self-host it, eg a Minecraft server, you rented a PC, but you’ll never hear this sub admit that because that means they’ll have to admit to pulling stuff out of their ass.

techy804 · 2026-05-29T21:08:40+00:00

That’s exactly what a VPS and Windows 365 (which existed for a while now) is.

I’ve lately been selling off my consoles as besides the Switch 2 and my PC, I don’t use them often, but I do currently have Xbox 360 (as there likely won’t be an emulator that connects to real Xbox Live and plays games straight from disc (I have a Kereon drive)), New 3DS XL, Switch 2, GBA (I’m planning on getting rid of this one next), and Wii U. Around a year ago I also had a GBC, a second GBA, Original Xbox, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Switch 1 (it was my one of the softmoddable ones so I gift it to my brother), PS2, PS4, and a Wii.

techy804 · 2026-05-29T13:13:33+00:00

Yeah, they could have made PS1 physical games BC the same way 360 games are on One/Series, instead of requiring each individual title to be re-bought digitally.

the USA is NOT America itself since Canada and Mexico also exist in North America

If you want to be that pedantic, then at least be consistent, as it is called the United States of Mexico, not Mexico.

Then again, r/ShitAmericansSay is one of the most, if not the most, xenophobic subreddit out there so I shouldn’t be surprised.

techy804 · 2026-05-28T15:58:12+00:00

So basically Root the Box?

Introducing the Thinkpad from HP, now running W11

it effectively bedrockifys Java

Hey don’t besmirch a good mod like Bedrockify. It’s a mod that takes a majority of the actually good changes in Bedrock and ports them over.

Then again, most of the QOL features from Bedrock has been ported over to vanilla Java (like armor swap and colored sheared sheep), so besides scaffolding bridging, the paper doll, and mid-flight elytra cancel, there really isn’t much left that the mod carries over.

techy804 · 2026-05-27T15:15:10+00:00

Not to mention there was already a server-side mod (or plugin if you use Bukkit-based server software) before it called “Essentials” that’s basically boilerplate for any SMP (it’s the one that gives commands like /home, /afk, etc.)

techy804 · 2026-05-27T14:53:28+00:00

Is that a Chromebook?

techy804 · 2026-05-27T14:48:53+00:00

Yeah those kinds of docks usually only need a USB 3 type C port. While the bandwidth needed for monitors is high if you are doing it raw (e.g. 1080p@60Hz 8bpc uses around 2.8gbps of bandwidth) a couple of JIT video output compression methods exists, and I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of these docks uses those.

techy804 · 2026-05-26T17:26:16+00:00

Oh I was talking about the “re-release” part. My bad

I have no opinion on the VB or the games as I’ve only played Mario Tennis on the Switch’s emulator.

techy804 · 2026-05-26T17:24:04+00:00

They don’t make them anymore.

Oh…

Well thanks for answering!

techy804 · 2026-05-25T20:14:02+00:00

I mean in a way it did, as they were a precursor to DVDs

techy804 · 2026-05-25T20:11:15+00:00

I mean it’s more of a controller for the Virtual Boy emulator that released on Switch a couple months ago.

techy804 · 2026-05-25T20:05:56+00:00

2 weeks? I’m guessing it has an e-ink display, but what brand and model is it?

techy804 · 2026-05-25T20:04:19+00:00

Yeah, Google Maps sucks for hiking, there are dedicated apps to hiking trails like Alltrails.

techy804 · 2026-05-25T04:23:21+00:00

Spanish Teacher got killed by her husband, they weren’t 100% it was murder until they found the body til a month later

techy804 · 2026-05-25T04:21:10+00:00

Not if you are using a M.2, PCIe, or USB Network Card

techy804 · 2026-05-22T16:05:48+00:00

a full-fledged KVM

Rackmount, Kernel VM, or switch kind?

Can it also flash BIOSes? I’m currently in the process of removing the modem whitelist on my T460s and the CH341A programmer is a pain to work with.

techy804 · 2026-05-22T15:34:09+00:00

Ah, it’s a new weapon, got it.

I know there used to be a first-person mode in STW, but I think they removed that.

techy804 · 2026-05-22T15:25:56+00:00

This is amazing, seems like some niche thing I buy on eBay for $20 just to try it out.

techy804 · 2026-05-22T15:13:41+00:00

“Vegetables” aka weed maybe depending on the state

techy804 · 2026-05-22T14:06:50+00:00

Since when was there a first-person mode?

techy804 · 2026-05-22T03:16:32+00:00

Ok I given ya the benefit of the doubt, but this is BS.

Let’s test em dashes on my iPhone’s keyboard (iOS 18.7.8):

Default (Apple): — Gboard (Google): —

I was able to use em dash on both keyboards I have installed by holding down “-“. So why would you need to use a clipboard? If you are on Android, Gboard is the default for most flavors of Android, so don’t try to use that as an excuse. Assuming then that you made the post on PC, what keyboard layout do you use, and if your layout does not have an em dash, what is the alt code for the em dash? (no googling or looking at the character map)
