.... aaand we totally did, with 4k ultra high definition. I guess we'll do it again with 8k?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gknauss That's really bad. Is it just that tweet for some reason (e.g. "church" triggers this) or other tweets?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Steve_Yegge @Dropbox Not so much "fun", but a fact?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@allenholub @ericlaw @migueldeicaza It’s going to take a lot of patience, we are definitely going backwards here which is hugely frustrating. But please, vote.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@allenholub @ericlaw @migueldeicaza It could be that it's too far gone for all of us. I'm not ruling that out. Whether you want to try or not is your personal call.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@AkasenTheRed Their newer models (k8 pro etc) rectify this; they are fully programmable at least.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ericlaw @migueldeicaza "give up" is never the right solution. And if you really believe it's too far gone to save -- move to a country where you think government is actually functional.

@bcg1976 Yeah there were a lot of assassinations, and let’s not forget the nearly successful Brady / Reagan one.

@avidgamefan There is always an element of pandering and showmanship but making that the first and only thing that matters is 😖

@codinghorror
@spncrhkm I had forgotten about these but I put it in the same category as chromebooks .. netbooks lost based on the OS, same argument here. Note Steam Deck is Linux based and Android based devices are kinda winning for emulation as well

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
Never ever would have predicted this as an emerging form factor for gaming PCs https://t.co/Op1OyPoSSC

@SpeakingBee He won by saying the quiet part out loud .. “I only care about people who support me personally” not “all Americans”

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mattferderer Heh. The 60s and 70s were times of massive turmoil! That’s coming back. And don’t forget McCarthyism in the 50s.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
Plus, the “politics as ‘rasslin culture war theater” formula that Trump stumbled through will be perfected by smarter politicians. None of this is good. Especially because it works — they get the votes with this strategy.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
There was a plastic divider between us, so this is a “magic of photoshop” kinda pic, in case anyone was wondering. (Also did you know Al is a devout Christian who goes to church every week? He just doesn’t make a big deal out of it.)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mjg59 @tqbf Yeah 2FA is totally mandatory at @discourse for everything. And it’s baked into the product of course.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
And that is my optimistic take for the record. We did not realize how good we had it in the 80s, 90s, and 00s.

My minimum bar for president: do you actually care about other people? https://t.co/Yrp39aTn0B

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
That said, at least Hoover seemed to be a decent person. It’s an excellent presidential museum, presents the history and context well!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
In many ways this switch-like form factor is a better alternative to the "gaming laptop" IMO. I neglected to bring a USB-C to HDMI adapter for big TV use though.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mattdarveniza .. which can be emulated at the Wii / GameCube level effortlessly on this hardware .. and pretty soon, at the Switch level..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@erwindeg @mattdarveniza Not really with Steam in Big Picture mode it’s quite seamless. Try it. There are of course exceptions.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@justinjenkins Wii U .. they really need to ship a Switch Pro

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Quemandoacromo Why the eye roll? This is good too! Aya Neo 2 can emulate ps3 even.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@maartengm Yeah, what follow up? OLED? Yayyyyy :(

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@serioussam909 @pfwd Yeah nintendo rips you off hardcore. And keeps doing it over and over. Whereas your Steam library.. my god.. it's vast and soo inexpensive. And I can play God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn, and Halo Infinite..

@mark_mcgookin @spolsky I've covered it a billion times in every talk I've ever given but the TL;DR is it takes incredible discipline to get it right. Stack is a scalpel. In the hands of a trained, skilled userbase it's great. In anyone else's hands it is super dangerous.

@eviltrout I think there is something broken with my 3 kids because I cannot get them to give a 💩 about these franchises.. and Nintendo games are EXPENSIVE (animal crossing excepted, that was a Covid gift)

@kevindente Let’s bring this back

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@stevesi You sure never see this problem on Chromebooks :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@TopelDiStasi It’d be fun for a few seconds!!

Jeff Atwood

Also has a USB C version, working well on the Aya Neo next! Scaling PCs down to Nintendo Switch sizes and form factors is an interesting twist https://t.co/GWdN3G9KRB

Mine is “Fish Heads”, and I just learned one of the guys behind that song would go on to set Al up with his future wife, much later 🤯

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
I asked Al what his favorite Dr. Demento song was (other than his own) and he said https://t.co/we7Wq7Nspt

Does anyone know? Seriously these solar panels are next level. They work IN THE SHADE! They work (very very slowly) under led light at night!

@AdaRoseCannon I told @Carnage4Life I was unhappy that Microsoft gave up on browser engines, but in the end, I have to admit they did a good job with it. Now Bing, on the other hand ;)

@olafurw yes! I had a history teacher who was a huge Jethro Tull fan and we'd do the same thing! ✋

@Patrick1Kennedy yeah I'll be downgrading on CPU, because the value of 32 cores is truly questionable for 99% of computing tasks.

@codinghorror
@enzinolombardi At least Apple switched to their own SoCs.. I was calling for that starting with like A12 or earlier!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@SelfishMan It's a BR1500G so it's rated to 865w. Idle levels are fine when the GPU is doing just desktop GUI work.

@almo2001 Android UX was quite poor for a decade. It's decent now though.

@seesharp @jeffwilcox have since switched to this fine braided cable, which handily has both USB-C and USB-A on one end, and labels the watt delivery. Still needs LEDs to indicate "powered" though. https://t.co/ZHPwhC8S76 https://t.co/TVM6hvC4o1

@codinghorror
single cable HDMI audio has come a LONG way. Basically perfect multi-channel audio in Windows this way without doing much at all. Sayonara s/pdif and optical!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Foone I blew up a 486 this way once. And a thunderbird era AMD chip by powering it on without the heatsink attached. At least I only did those things once..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@codeswithafist @Snowden the armchair quarterbacking, *from the country causing the gas price problem with the war*, is especially irritating. So, yeah. Enjoy your life as a Russian. It's all you're getting.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@codeswithafist @Snowden I see no realistic path for Snowden to ever return to the USA. Do you? And if he's gonna parrot GOP talking points, I think he should welcome his new Russian citizenship.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
These graphs are honestly kind of scaring me, esp. since reportedly the GTX 4000 series will draw *even more* power https://t.co/94RDKRcHfr

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
And that reckoning did come, exactly as I said it would. All these smarty pants "oh look, my iPhone 13 posted higher results" replies, welcome to what I predicted starting.. geez.. really as far back as 2015. https://t.co/ZWZdqlTqXY

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@SpeakingBee @Snowden I honestly never see a path for him to come home, esp. with the war. He's Russian now. That's the reality.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@eurasian Yeah I found Joker to be a pretty problematic movie so turning it into a musical is a good call IMO

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@zitterbewegung Compare this graph and the trajectory. All I'm saying is, we're finally back on track after Apple running the board on everyone: https://t.co/fjMBp43Yc7

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@TrippleGav @Snowden and let's say next cycle we elect a sane Republican. That's fine. You think they're gonna magically flip a switch and fix all this? Uhhh.. I think you might wanna buckle up for the next few decades, my friend.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@TrippleGav @Snowden Yeah, has nothing to do with covid or war in ukraine, it's all the president. Hell, even I'd admit not *everything* that happened on his watch was Trump's fault.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
for reference the i7-10700, a Q2'20 chip, scores ~181. We're finally seeing bigger single threaded perf gains from Intel after Apple running the board for the last 5 years.

interestingly, this (apparently?) has WAY more efficient solar panels than the other inexpensive Kikkerland solar spinners. This one works in even modest light whereas the Kikkerland ones only work in full-on direct bright sunlight. Why is that?
