How many times did they “sunset” gear over the years?

4 or 5? I’m surprised they kept doing it with how much it seemed to alienate the player base every time

I’ve always thought the licensing for Jetbrains IDEs is a pretty fair way of licensing software. If you stop subscribing you still get access to the last version of the software you paid for but you don’t get new versions anymore. And if you stay subscribed you get a loyalty discount after your first and second years. So it provides an incentive to stay subscribed long term but if you do leave you still get access perpetually to the last version you bought

Are they going to go back to calling it Cortana?

This sounds like it could’ve been a story about a featured build on CPU magazine. Maybe some cube shaped open air PC and how it was going to change the future of case design?

As far as things that are going to change everything performance wise maybe 3D caches? I could see there being promotional art of that with a blue cube showing how memory layers are stacked.

I know this was the goal of Nano (XNO) originally. I still love the idea of it but with all the regulations and stuff now I think nano is kinda dead (or at least unpopular) It seems the only crypto used for transactions is Monaro.

I remember years ago hearing about a Minecraft server using it as “premium” currency which I thought was interesting. I think the idea was you could earn real money on their game server.

It’s so cheap now you could probably use it as currency for a game if you really wanted

Edit: not gonna lie I think Nano is a pretty cool name for a decentralized currency. Better than some of the weird coin names out there

My favorite part of the steam deck is how I didn’t have to pay to “upgrade” the games I already own.

Oh and how I didn’t have to buy my game library again

Any specific reason you want to run a Lemmy instance? Or just trying something new?

If you could miniaturize them I would totally take a house hippo

Would having a synced Keepass database with a composite key protect against this?

When I made my database I created a composite key file that never goes online. I locally copy it to any device that needs to access the database. The idea was even if the password got compromised you can’t access the database without the key file

So they basically created a hashing function?

Hmm I’m using it on Bazzite with KDE, which is based off Fedora 42 atomic. I haven’t really noticed any issues with it, though I haven’t printed anything in awhile

I use PrusaSlicer from Flathub. I was using PrusaSlicer on Windows before switching to Linux. I’ve been using it since the original Slic3r stopped getting updates. Because it’s available as a flatpak it should work on pretty much any distro and immutable distros
