the question is why isn't "made of literal poison" considered "broke" for something that carries drinking water?

Why can't humanity seem to learn that storing all of our knowledge and cultural artifacts in just one place with no backup is a BAD IDEA? Don't let the library of Alexandria burn again!

Microsoft made me sign in on their Xbox Accessories app to update the firmware on my controller in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

[–] olsonexi@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

At least you actually got Xbox Accessories to recognize your controller. I can't even get it to show up even though it's clearly connected and recognized as an xbox controller in device manager. Granted, passing the usb port through to a windows vm in order to do this probably isn't ideal, but I can't install it on my work computer and I'd really rather not have spyware os installed bare metal on any of my personal machines that I actually daily drive. Even when I decided fuck it I'll throw it on an old thinkpad, it just refuses to boot the win10/11 installer.

What are your AI use cases? in c/technology@lemmy.world

[–] olsonexi@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

When troubleshooting, it's nice to be able to ask copilot about the issue in human language and have it actually understand my question (unlike a search engine) and pull from and reference relevant documentation in its answers. Going back and forth with it has saved me several hours of searching for something that I had never even heard of a couple of times.

It's also great for rewriting things in a specific tone. I can give it a bland/terse/matter-of-fact paragraph and get back a more fun or professional or friendly version that would feel ridiculously cringe if I attempted to write it myself, but the AI makes it work somehow.

How are controllers with Proton? in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml

One thing to note is it can be a bit tricky to get first party xbox one/series controllers to work wirelessly via bluetooth. Aside from that, xbox controllers work great. I don't have any PS controllers, so I can't personally speak to those, but they should work perfectly fine as well.

There is no rule. It just is whatever it is.
