I thought they actually dumbed down the model names. Basically the more adjactives the laptop has, the higher the model is. Now the machines can have pronounciable names and just add generation number every year or so.

Sure, the original numbering system did make sense, but you had to Google what the system meant. Now, it's kind of intuitive, even though the it's just a different permutation of the same words?


Looks great. Like a more open and cuter version of, now enshittified, AirConsole.

AirConsole link for context: https://www.airconsole.com/


Thanks! I don't know if you knew but AirConsole was just recently sold to a car software manufacturer and now focuses mostly on in-car entertainment. They have big partnerships with Volkswagen for example.


Oh, I didn't know that. That explains quite a lot.


Would it be enough to have <body> hidden using an inline style in the initial html response and when everything is loaded, one would remove the style using javascript?


Manjaro is not Arch. It uses custom repositories with patched packages, delayed version rollouts and custom kernels.


What is missing from the unofficial Bedrock launcher?

Dude, that's amazing! How responsive and simple to use the tool is.

Obligatory question, are you planning on adding support for additional countries?


Thanks! The countries available now are the ones with presence on Ticketmaster (and in the UK, one additional provider). If it proves popular I'll certainly look at scraping more ticket sites!


Wait... didn't the original Steam Controller already feature Bluetooth?


You're right, it does. I completely forgot about that; the Bluetooth broke on mine years ago. (Sadly it's too late to edit my comment.)


To be fair, it didn't originally support it, a firmware update came out some time after release that enabled BTLE connection.


That's a reasonable baseline, yes. I would also consider trying running it on Arch Linux, because it usually has newer library versions and it's the base of SteamOS.


Oh, thank you for your reply. I'll check out Arch Linux as well.


At this point, that's exactly what Windows needs. As Microsoft only adds new features and doesn't remove almost any, Windows is getting reaaally bloated. And what was Microsoft's response? Everyone should buy a new faster computer to run Windows 11.


Tbh, a better strategy would to slim down Windows again would be to remove all the new user-facing stuff which was added over the last two decades. There have been significant improvements in the kernel and DirectX, but on the surface, Windows somehow managed to remove user-facing features while at the same time adding an incredible amount of bloat in layers above the core operating system. From a usability perspective the Windows desktop UI in Win2k was singnificantly better than anything that came after.


> remove all the new user-facing stuff which was added over the last two decades

That's not all that needs to be removed from Windows, and it's not what they're interested in removing. The old MFC, GDI, COMCTL, COMDLG, Winsock etc. must be a lot higher in their "do delete" list.


Win2k with WSL without systemd would be so kino


Hardly, given that systemd author is a Microsoft employee nowadays.

IHaveABanana Is this a thing or are you just now trying to make it a thing?

Either way, I like it :)


That was the idea with UWP and Windows 10X, but folks really want that backwards compatibility.


Well, yes, but APIs aside, as long as the developers and users have the choice, they won't choose a new backwards incompatible solution if when they can stay with their old solution.

Look at Apple Macs, all went from x86 to arm, breaking software and fixing incompatibilities later. Users had no choice but to use m1 macOS if they wanted a new device.


And leave software behind, hence why many postpone their acquisition until the hardware dies.


For short lived one off scripts and programs, bun is amazing. Everything you need without configuring much and minimal external dependencies.

For a large project, bun seems to have become almost a framework like experience? Once you start using all its features, you get locked in and you do everything "the bun way".
