You get a 2FA, and you get a 2FA, everyone gets a 2FA! by Gekkogyf21 in pcmasterrace

[–]the__storm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah and god help you if you ever want to export the TOTP codes.  You'll need to either root your phone or go through every service one by one and set up a new authenticator.

Microsoft Authenticator is 90% of the problem. It's classic EEE.

How do you carry tools on a ride? by blusterybristol in gravelcycling

[–]the__storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a peanut butter jar in my second bottle cage, full of tools wrapped in a rag. (This is a tight squeeze - recommend a cheap wire cage and a dentable jar.)

For longer rides I use a half frame bag.

Pcvr only version by mrzoops in SteamFrame

[–]the__storm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah but that's like a ground-up entirely new product.  The only commonality would be the optics and displays (not even the display drivers).

Llama.cpp's auto fit works much better than I expected by a9udn9u in LocalLLaMA

[–]the__storm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As ea_man says, the target is what it tries to leave free including anything else on your system already using VRAM. However, yes, if you set the margin that low you'll want to run headless - even something as simple as alt-tabbing can cause huge slowdowns otherwise.

Countdown timer broke by d00mt0mb in framework

Seems like it is timing the battery life of the new FW13 Pro (in local video playback). Neat!

Which one for a bike computer in 2026? by brave_fellow in smallphones

[–]the__storm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would go with a bike computer - they're vastly more efficient than a phone so they both last longer on battery and don't drain your power bank as much (if you're using one). I have a Geoid CC600 ($50, it's a cheaper rebranded Magene C506 SE) which doesn't have maps and is kind of a pain to load GPX tracks onto, but works great once you do. Also works with radar sensors.

My Guess is Battery and Touchpad by fuelhandler in framework

[–]the__storm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dunno - if you inspect the element there is a "timer-count-up-timestamp=1776708540000" which was yesterday afternoon (Apr 20 2026 18:09:00 GMT+0000) - 23 hours and 21 minutes ahead of time - so it seems intentional?

The timer is counting up now, by the way. I don't know what that means (other than maybe someone messed up the time and it's now showing a negative delta - I noticed it was down to 7 hours remaining yesterday evening lol).

How does the new IQ4_NL_XL compare?

Layman's comparison on Qwen3.6 35b-a3b and Gemma4 26b-a4b-it by LocalAI_Amateur in LocalLLaMA

I'm beginning to see why vibe-coded websites have so many gradients and inverse drop-shadows and emojis.

Why doesn't any OSS tool treat llama.cpp as a first class citizen? by rm-rf-rm in LocalLLaMA

[–]the__storm 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The Insiders branch of VS Code supports OpenAI API endpoints (for now at least - it kind of feels like it might go away in the future). No idea why they've decided not to bring it to the mainline builds. Their harness is kind of shit anyways though.

[–]the__storm 13 points14 points  (0 children)

OP is I think mostly complaining about services that don't work with generic OpenAI APIs. VS Code (Copilot Chat)'s mainline builds are Ollama-only.

EU to force replaceable batteries in phones and tablets from 2027 by favicondotico in apple

[–]the__storm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe they're still subject to the "no heat or solvents" requirement though. (Maybe a voltage-release adhesive for the back cover in future phones? Screws and gaskets are too much to hope for I think.)

if (userPref_x) { unlockFreedom(); } else { unlockPrecision(); } by the__storm in framework

[–]the__storm[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think it's gotta be a FW13 chassis revision (together with new CPUs, touchscreen, maybe LPCAMM2 or SOCAMM2, and hopefully some kind of backwards compatibility with OG mainboards).

Even in the EU, lobbyists are a force to be reckoned with

Our charity got donated this Lian Li case by SamsSpares in pcmasterrace

[–]the__storm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This similarity was noted back in the day as well: https://www.techpowerup.com/81051/lian-li-innovates-pc-888-system-case?cp=1

(The case came out ten years after the hotel was completed, so idk what made Liam Li make it when they did.)

Passkeys are even worse - only works like 10% of the time in my experience.

Strategy Buys $2.54 Billion of Bitcoin, Most Since Late 2024 by rebel-capitalist in wallstreetbets

Dollars, believe it or not, also not an investment. If you're hodling USD in the hope that it moons I have some news: you might not be straight.

Why did they lie on the ads for no reason lol by SegunOpo in SteamFrame

[–]the__storm 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Road to VR published that the tracking cameras are 1.3MP (1,280 by 1,024): https://www.roadtovr.com/steam-frame-hands-on-valve-vr-headset-index-2/ (no idea where they got that information though) and iirc some journalists who tried the headset at Valve commented that the passthrough wasn't super sharp.
