I can only assume that is the main reason for this change. Pitty.

Unlikely. Batteries are still incredibly expensive, also heavy and a consumable item (need to be regularly replaced). Overhead wires don't work for 1 train, but for all of them. They are also a mostly permanent installation with comparatively cheap maintenance (they are just steel+paint for the most part).

It's surely fine for a fringe route, where a train or two runs, and that would need electrification for a lot of track. So I'd assume there's a break even point somewhere.

It's great and all (it really is), but the target audience was just presented factorio 2.0 (and space age), so we're busy for a few months.

If a game has Denuvo, I will just not buy it. Ever. I won't even consider it until it's removed. Thankfully it doesn't happen too often that games that interest me have it, but it does happen.

Since this can't be quantified, because there is no real way to get numbers on people that do this or similar things (except for "wild guessing"), three big ones (being public or backed by traditional investors) can't make an argument for not having it. So here we are.

Kinda wanted to pick the game up at some point. Weird, I seem to have suddenly lost all interest. Huh.

The linked post essentially performed a benchmark of lemmy apps and if they properly display the formating options available. Sync got 3rd last place, position 18 out of 20 apps, with a score of 6.9 out of 10. There's a comment that essentially contains the test set. I hope we get some fixes, cause some of the problems have been around for a while.

In my personal experience the issues with spoiler tags, and some of the embedded images and their sizes is rather annoying. For example this comment shows perfectly fine on desktop, but becomes a garbled mess on sync (as you can tell by my comment, blaming the bot). Also note that while sync technically gets 3/3 for the images, the last image should be text-sized between the "arrows". It isn't, it's just huge (and consequently a pixelated mess).

Edit: fixed link to example comment for spoiler.

This also makes it easy to block Win 10 from upgrading to 11, just disable tpm in BIOS. From where I'm sitting, that's kinda convenient.

The core lesson should be "stop adding useless launchers" and even more so "stop making launchers the only way to change graphics settings". I'm glad the steam deck has rules in place that prevent games with a forced launcher to receive a "verified".

That's what I'm taking away from this anyway.

Much simpler and more direct than the other suggestions: LocalSend.

Also fully open source, local only, cross platform. Only works in the same network, obviously. That's the point.

What low voltage though? Unless it's 5V like USB (non-PD and non-QC), they should and need to be incompatible.

[-] Creat@discuss.tchncs.de 55 points 8 months ago

Literally never heard of it, which is probably the reason and kinda makes it a good call?

For those that really don't know: Star Trek TNG, episode "the inner light", S5E25.

I have multiple dozens of headphones that have a normal headphone plug.

I can charge my phone while I listen to headphones without carrying multiple adapters.

We can maybe talk once we get more than 1 USB c connector on a phone. Maybe.
