    bit of a self-inflicted predicament got 2 paper…

    manikyath replied to Dillpickle23422's status update

    in college i once forgot to take an online test that was 50% of the total score.. i recalled 2 minutes before the test was due, and i googled and filled out all 50 questions in under a minute. the teacher could see start/submit times, he must've been so confused when he saw i actually speedran his test, and nailed it.

    most motherboards have more than one usb controller, it might just be a matter of moving the capture card to the other controller.

    to me it looks like they're condensing down dev studios under one roof.. but keeping the community in the dark over what could be a rugpull of a 'game 2' that no one was asking for in the first place is the wrong way to go about it.

    do you guys literally not have any housing laws at all? getting busted for speeding and spending the night in jail is probably cheaper and more comfortable...

    wellp.. thanks for the mention.. i think i just discovered a new quirk in discord, and need a new way to host my embeds it worked fine until today, oddly enough.

    basicly the moment you try to make anything about euro truck sim controllers more realistic, you start running into the game entering weird states. so either everything on this thing is just a specificly labeled button on an otherwise normal game controller that just so happens to be 200 bucks more expensive than the comparative product.. or it needs some special sauce to keep it in sync with a hideously confused game engine.

    the same way every other console has been emulated, by making a software layer that acts exactly like the hardware+OS, but with calls back to regular things like a window manager. it's inefficient as heck, but it works.
  8. manikyath
    i think they're just controller buttons 1 trough N like every other controller, but just labeled like functions of euro truck sim. the problem with that is that there's a lot of "context" in euro truck sim that's important to the button's function, if you want to make them operate realisticly.. which is kind of the purpose of this kind of wheel.
  9. manikyath
    such an oddly specific thing. i wonder if the misc buttons all over have any game integration at all, or if this is essentially just an oddly specific force feedback steering wheel that would be very awkward to use for any other games. but other than that... probably gonna steal quite a few sales from logiderp.

    you will ruin the surface finish of the plastic by buffing the scratches out. it's one or the other. as for how: the finest wet sandpaper you can find, and a lot of elbow grease.

    you're not gonna get any exact dimensions from this, but this is a nice straight on shot of the bare die you could deduce the shape of, which gets you a rough estimate on the dimensions trough some math:

    wasnt AI mostly matrix multiplication or whatever it's called.. something math degree stuff i never studied xD but yes, essentially compilation on a GPU doesnt make much sense, because diminishing returns of multithreaded compute really hit hard there. something like raytracing is essentially infinitely threadable because you can just assign each thread a single "ray to trace", and the rays dont necessarily interact with each other, so the vareous threads dont need to communicate their work. but code compliation is very reliant on an order of operations and strict rules. essentially any opportunity for a race condition is absolutely not-done in code compilation (race condition = a differing result based on which thread happens to finish first) and each thread you add adds more checks to make sure race conditions dont happen.

    i mean.. the requirements are no different than those for a desktop, but depending on what kind of server you buy the manufacturer might have had some requirements in mind. for example the $1mil server linus just made a video about, the manufacturer of those 1U chassis expects intake temperature to be below some level, so that the exhaust temperature is still within before mentioned limits when that much hardware in such a compact space is running full load for an extended amount of time. on the flip side, if your "server" is just some converted office desktop, it's essentially a non-issue if you're not dying of heat stroke in the room.

    about as possible as making a space rocket in your back yard. you're talking a purpose-made operating system running on a less than conventional computer (running GDDR5 as system memory) that probably only has the specific drivers for a given piece of hardware. the software for that platform then only needs to take into account the specifics of that given platform. there's no window manager, there's only standardized peripherals, etc. under the hood xbox one is running the exact same kernel as windows 10, but everything on top of that is so different that it's rare to see a pc port from a console game to originate from the xbox version. if this were feasible at all to do for a single person, the game companies would be doing it too.

    so.. it occured to me that the trailmakers leaderboards have probably reset with the latest update.. so i decided to go get my spots on the leaderboards back.

     

    they somehow broke the very delicate balance these top level craft depend on to not yeet into the stratosphere.

     

    luckily for me, my bionic league craft was extremely stabile, so i steered it to success with relative ease:

    as for gokart league.. not so much, they have done something to UFO engines that makes them even more eager to wedgie the physics engine.. so i went back to an older design, and literally put a bunch of airbrakes on it to slow it down to stabile speeds... the record sucks, but it's a record:

    discord embeds are broken apparently..

    if this was as trivial as you think it is, we would have a 100% support PS4 emulator already with great performance.

    manikyath replied to da na's status update

    they used to FCC qualify the laptop as a whole, which meant the laptop could only 'legally' operate with the cards it was qualified with. but since then all manufacturers have moved to FCC qualified cards, and FCC qualifying their laptop separately.

    Cleetus mcfarland in 2017: "we bought this corvette that's missing most of the bodywork"

    there's a lot that can be said about Garrett, but one thing is quite sure.. dropping out of law school might have been the best decision he's made.

    you could stick hoses into a plastic bottle and it'd serve as a reservoir. it depends on how janky you are willing to go, how worried you are about seams leaking, and how much you value your own time.

    since it's labeled "wwan" too, i presume it's either for an SSD, or for a 4G modem.

    yes.. you can heat a room with a pc to the point of a snowflake being uncomfortable.. but no, it makes no sense to invest the 4-digit pricetag of moving the computer to the garage when that's not even half of the heat in the room.. and one could just open the window or door to immediately resolve the problem. and if you have a need to go below outside temperature, we're back to those 4 digits making A LOT more sense in an aircon.

    PS4 is not running a desktop operating system. there is no reason to assume any software running on PS4 will run on a BSD desktop.
  24. manikyath
    the long term solution *is* aircon, and i fail to believe the UK's aircon market is any worse than belgium's.

    because the PS4 is still a very locked down platform, to the point this common knowledge that playstation has been BSD based ever since they had an OS at all is not all that common. they chose BSD because it's a solid base and the licensing allows them to create that locked down platform with it. essentially, it's not because the OS itself is linux or BSD based, that it has any implications for anticheat. the problem about anticheat on linux is more a 'potential marketshare' and 'the willingness of that potential market to install very closed source software on their box of freedom' kind of problem. there's nothing about windows that makes anticheat "possible" on it. it's that linux can be a very powerful platform for working around the things anticheat does, and it's sort of implied that if anticheat were to limit that freedom, it would quickly be as unpopular as windows in those circles. so.. we're talking about a small portion of 4% of the pc users market that might buy a game if it had anticheat on linux.
