I think the first Shantae was a bit more difficult than the later instalments; it might or might not feel frustrating.
I’d also recommend Super Metroid and Metroid Zero Mission. SM does little in the way of active hand-holding but I think it’s designed well enough to feel fair. MZM is an improved remake of the original Metroid and actually gives you pointers on where to go next.
Of course if those two work out there’s also Metroid Fusion but I’d play the other two first.
Though, to be fair, Framework laptops can’t charge from all of their ports. The 16 can charge from one port each per side; not sure about the 13 and 12.
Nope, still perfectly legal. Proprietary charging ports are allowed but have to be accompanied by a USB PD port that supports the same wattage (or 240 W if the device needs more than that).
So basically the law says “devices must support USB PD”, not “devices must only support USB PD”.
They can.
USB-C goes up to 240 W now and the law has been amended to acknowledge the new USB PD spec. Devices are also allowed to have proprietary charging ports but must include a USB-C port capable of showing the full power draw of the device (or 240 W of they need more than that).
So a big gaming laptop might have a USB PD-capable port that supports 240 W and a barrel jack that supports 350 W.
I said I can respect it, not that it’s good. It feels like a deliberate attempt to torpedo the revival of a series that really didn’t need to be revived. That’s what I can respect, not the movie on its own merits.
They do; the article points that out.
However, this doesn’t work in enterprise environments. Companies want to download updates once and then deliver then themselves when and to whom they want. And that means they need to download all of them.
These days they’re all bundled up in one huge package so companies have to devote a of storage for update files that mostly contain the same stuff as last month’s.
I can respect the fourth one. Sure, it was a terrible movie but it feels like a deliberate piss take on the idea of reviving the franchise. And I can respect that.
Yeah, that’s what I refer to with offloading. Depending on the model and runtime it might be a bit fiddly but it usually works fine.
The newer CPU generations come with cores optimized for this stuff (referred to as an NPU). It actually seems to work fairly well for the kind of model you’d run locally.
Barring that, a typical laptop dGPU will also work, although not super efficiently since they often don’t exceed 8 GB of VRAM and thus can’t run most models without partially offloading them to the CPU.
Of course a laptop with a dGPU and NPU cores will make the offloading less painful. So yeah, workable for most reasonably-sized models.
Some of the newer C# features are nice. Of course .Net is not handled by the same people who keep setting Windows on fire.
Yeah. 60% more responsive for something infamous for taking multiple seconds to launch is depressingly bad. That’s “not even trying” levels of improvement.
The start menu should open essentially instantly (excluding optional animations) – 100 ms is good, 200 ms is somewhat adequate. They’re aiming for somewhere between 400 and 1200 ms.
I hope for them that they underpromise and overdeliver because this does not inspire confidence.
So they’ll make you stateless and ship you off to whichever country is willing to provide a terminal storage facility for politically undesirable former citizens. People who build concentration camps don’t particularly care about details like whether an “immigrant” is a citizen born to citizens.
So your argument is that since you are opposed to the app’s very existence it’s immoral to test it for security flaws.
I’d like to argue against that with the principle of defense in depth. I’m also not a friend of OS-level age verification and would like it to be dropped. But if it is implemented I want it to be implemented in a way that isn’t wildly insecure. I can simultaneously argue against the principle as a whole and insist that any implementation of it be secure. If it does come I at least want the damage from a botched implementation to be mitigated.
To use your cage analogy, I can both complain about the principle of caging people and about the fact that the cage is badly made and poses an injury risk to the people inside it. Neither is acceptable.
Man, Crank 3 is a lot worse than the first two.
Dev: Why was my app rejected?
Apple: Your app was rejected because it uses a payment processor that is not allowed on the App Store. Is there anything else I can help you with?
Dev: My app doesn’t contain any payment functionality at all!
Apple: I’m sorry, I made a like mistake there. Please contact the App Store support team to help you with this kind of issue.
Dev: You are the App Store support team!
Apple: That is entirely correct! Please allow me to refer you to section 14 of the Apple Developer Agreement to show why your payment processor is not supported:

The AfD reflexively gave a statement that any suspicions against their MPs are completely unwarranted.
In addition to what has been mentioned already, Garuda is an Arch derivative where convenience is the whole point. No install scripts, just your usual live ISO with a Calamares installer plus a bunch of convenience utilities once you’re set up.
It’s not exactly lightweight by default but it does make for a very comfortable Arch experience.
You know I know that you’re not telling the truth.
I’m just waiting for their reaction when everyone is supposed to use cloud desktops and the average application assumes the user has 128 GB of RAM.
In theory:
Player: “Copilot, give me a list of all orifices I can fuck xXx_360noscope_xXx’s mom in. Assume I have an extremely small penis.”
Copilot: “You exclusively play the multiplayer mode of AAA games so that’s already assumed. Here’s your list…”
In practice:
Player: “Copilot, give me a list of all orifices I can fuck xXx_360noscope_xXx’s mom in. Assume I have an extremely small penis.”
Copilot: “I can’t help you with that but did you know you can subscribe to Microsoft® 365™ Copilot® for as little as $19.99, getting access to the industry standard in office productivity tools? Certainly xXx_360noscope_xXx will be impressed by your professional Outlook® presentations and seamless integration with Teams®.”
Player: “My penis isn’t that small and neither is his.”
xXx_360noscope_xXx: “Yeah, dude. That was uncalled for.”
