This is a photo from a Nest security camera slash doorbell. The security camera sent a notification to the user's cellphone that a person was seen at the door. But it's not a person! It's a fat mud dauber wasp just chilling on the camera.

This is closer to a balance wheel in design.

Happy national thermal engineer day! The heroes that keep our framerates high and our temperatures low. 🫑

I'm gonna die mad that I didn't get a Super Mario Galaxy 2 port on the OG Switch.

Absolutely LOVING this new Linux project: LSFG-VK.

Brings lossless FG to Linux. Works well. Incredibly easy to use.

3x the FPS in EverQuest (Fangbreaker), a godsend in The Nexus or raids.

2x FPS in Division 2, no anomalies even on fast-moving crosshairs. No discernible input difference.

Hi. I'm a long time Hyundai owner. You want the "BlueDriver" OBD scan tool. It's more expensive than the cheap ~$20 options, but you'll need to spend a lot more to scan OEM-proprietary codes like wheel speed sensors.

These codes are not available in the OBD spec, so cheap dongles never cut it.

I can never go back from foldable. I always thought that I would like it, but I *really* like it. My first phone upgrade since, perhaps the Droid, that felt truly next-gen.

Loving my Open and hope to upgrade to tri-fold in the next few years. Would totally change what gear I travel w/ for work.

Impressive. Reducing Z-height to ~slab is wild micronization.

We're usually on the same page, but man I can't go back to a non-touch laptop. I might only use it 10-20% of the time, but it rapidly became frustrating not to have it on other PCs. Maybe I'm just an ogre that enjoys the laziest possible scrolling. πŸ’€

You can opt into the Steam Client beta on PC to get this excellent performance monitor, which shows your base frame-rate when frame gen is engaged, plus the usual CPU, GPU and RAM speed and utilisation metrics.

So much!

It's a travesty that we don't have a modern and serious MechWarrior sim. All the mech customization is a great fit for modern gaming, and it would have tons of replayability.

MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries.

Full remaster. Plus online play that smashes together the combined arms elements of BF1942 Desert Combat with the game modes of UT2K4.

Features include: parsing EQ's proprietary caret-delimited spell data, automatic detection of the current player, live log monitoring+parsing, ability to reset individual buffs or all buffs on a per-player basis, portable JSON data storage, tokenized memory of last log. Been fun! Onto v6.0!

But it was immensely gratifying to solve this super unique-to-me problem. Every other solution for this is Windows-only and do not work in WINE. So I was able to fix something that would've been hopeless just two years ago. Pretty wild.

Vibe coding is fun. I just built the world's only Linux-compat buff parser/tracker for the Live version of EverQuest. (I'm an Enchanter #iykyk) It's on v5 now, with major codebase rearchitecting along the way.

Well, AI did it all for me.

Oooooh, really good choice. I didn't get into strategy games until the Windows era, and have always been bummed I missed Populous when new.
