They explain it in the video. They already use algorithms to detect if things are buildings or not.

But if their algorithm can't make a determination or is uncertain below a certain threshold, they send it to Maptcha to get a bulk human opinion.

That's not the person I originally asked.

The person I asked actually did reply to me on this thread... but didn't answer how they know all this.

How do you know all of this?

I just want a reasonably priced generational bump over the Index. Most PCVR headsets that have pancake lenses are either obscenely priced, are ridiculously heavy, or have reportedly terrible QA. From what I've seen lately, usually all three are true.

You can get close in features and price with something like a Pico or a Quest, but they lack direct DisplayPort connection, so it's compressed wireless PCVR, compressed "wired" PCVR (which basically uses a networking protocol anyway), or no PCVR at all.

Myself, and I'm sure a ton of other people, are hoping for the Deckard to be "huge" for the PCVR market, just like the Index was when it released. Maybe we're all coping, and we probably even are, but I think a lot of people are generally unhappy with the state of the PCVR hardware market right now.

So all this is to say... I really hope this thing is much better than a glorified flat screen projector.

If you don't want to open this and solder a chip, then no, you can't do what you want.

The closest you can get is to enable AutoRCM, which will cause the Switch to always boot into recovery mode and accept a payload. This skips the need to use a jig in the Joy-Con rail, but you still need to inject a payload. And because recovery mode is just a black screen, you don't have any visual feedback to know if the Switch is actually in recovery mode, or if the battery is just dead.

Your best option is to just boot into whatever OS you use most, then make it a habit to keep it charged enough to not shut down.

However, I do believe they’re entering a very oversaturated market, with the likes of 8BITDO and GuliKit creating high-quality, affordable controllers in the same niche. ANBERNIC would have to aggressively outprice them to get any kind of attention, but only time will tell.

Not really. 8BitDo really blew it with the Ultimate. They confusingly have two different "versions" of it, and neither have the full range of device compatibility that previous 8BitDo controllers had. The most egregious exclusion from the Ultimate was Xinput over Bluetooth. I still have no idea why they decided to drop that.

Its design takes inspiration from a modern-day Xbox controller and is fully compatible with PC, Steam, Nintendo Switch, Android, and iOS using Bluetooth 5.3 and 2.4g connection. It can also be connected using a USB-C wire too.

If this new controller has Xinput over Bluetooth, all of the compatibility from above, and a strong battery life, it might be a day 1 buy. It will have hall effect sticks, so this sounds like everything I wanted the 8BD Ultimate to be. I hope there aren't any showstoppers once reviews start coming out.

They've been on some kind of emulation crusade then, because it looks like they just killed Ryujinx:

I'm really curious to learn how you get calls in so many different languages. I could definitely see Spanish, English, and maybe Vietnamese all being spoken in a general geographic area, but you listed a lot of diverse languages. Pretty cool if that's really all within one area!

They just sent out a mass email to users yesterday informing us of this, I got it too. I wonder if it wasn't getting enough attention, or if they wrote this back in June but only just made the article visible.

Fun fact: they spent quite a while working on a segmented 3D animation system for all the sprites. Every sprite is split up into segments, and then those segments are positioned in 3D space depending on the camera angle. They can even independently move each part of a character, like a leg, without having to create an entirely new sprite just for one frame.

This is 3 years old at this point, but this should give a good idea of how the new animation system works!

People need to understand what this will mean from a developer perspective before getting all up in arms. This initiative is more kneejerk emotional than it is realistic.

If you're going to watch only one of these videos, watch the second one:

I use Backblaze B2, but stored in an encrypted Restic container, set up using this guide:

https://helgeklein.com/blog/restic-encrypted-offsite-backup-with-ransomware-protection-for-your-homeserver/

Restic has been great for automating backups, and even letting me mount the encrypted storage to grab individual files. I like doing it this way since I don't have to trust Backblaze isn't reading my data - I know for sure that they can't.

Performance of storage that is both remote and encrypted is about what you would expect, but I don't need access to the data unless something bad happens.

Had to quadruple take this wasn't a Battle Network community, what a crazy thing to see on Lemmy.

We should bring back r/OkBuddyNetwork on Lemmy.

 

In the past few days, I've seen a number of people having trouble getting Lemmy set up on their own servers. That motivated me to create Lemmy-Easy-Deploy, a dead-simple solution to deploying Lemmy using Docker Compose under the hood.

To accommodate people new to Docker or self hosting, I've made it as simple as I possibly could. Edit the config file to specify your domain, then run the script. That's it! No manual configuration is needed. Your self hosted Lemmy instance will be up and running in about a minute or less. Everything is taken care of for you. Random passwords are created for Lemmy's microservices, and HTTPS is handled automatically by Caddy.

Updates are automatic too! Run the script again to detect and deploy updates to Lemmy automatically.

If you are an advanced user, plenty of config options are available. You can set this to compile Lemmy from source if you want, which is useful for trying out Release Candidate versions. You can also specify a Cloudflare API token, and if you do, HTTPS certificates will use the DNS challenge instead. This is helpful for Cloudflare proxy users, who can have issues with HTTPS certificates sometimes.

Try it out and let me know what you think!

I noticed my feed on Lemmy was pretty dry today, even for Lemmy. Took me a while to realize lemmy.ml has been going up and down all morning, and isn't federating new posts.

But, since this is all still federated, I can still create and read posts on other instances while I wait. Even this one! Any other service would just be unavailable completely right now.

I do miss the larger communities on lemmy.ml - asklemmy, memes, and I really wanted to watch the reddit fallout on /c/reddit. Maybe I'll look around for some good replacements for those. Open to suggestions!
