Don’t, or i will have to summon the ghosts from the embedded netherworlds to haunt you in your dreams until your subconscious will admit that you care about allocating 4 bytes when 1 byte would have been enough.
a lot of people still remember 2003-2009 or so when they put as much effort into desktop UX as any company ever had (no one really brings up Windows 2000 or early Visual Basic or similar watershed moments unless they’re quite a bit older and more corporate, I think because it didn’t feel quite as whole-cloth as early OSX*) and lament that things have pretty much gotten worse in-place, which isn’t untrue, but… idk that was a while ago now and we’re not going back
*also, “whole-cloth” in this context means “adapting a bunch of BSD/Linux stuff that no one else had made a serious effort to bring to market and therefore felt like several years of effort coming from nowhere, which it was”
hang on there pal
:kdebomb: wants to disagree… honestly though, peak desktop’ing was compiz cube with partial transluscent windows snapping across cube edges 
j/king aside, gnome pulling through to become the basis for all (x)bian flavours, which means most raspbis in existance, probably has had a bigger impact in the unix/linux/UX-verse than apples desktop ramblings?
I’d give them the benefit of doubt regarding watch-UX and minor phone Ux improvements, but the phone-space seems to have stalled a few years ago. If night modus is something to write home about, we better go home for real.
come to think of it, regarding the auto tiling offered by Win10 atm, is that something that was championed by apple, by popOS or Win itself?
I don’t know about that, I don’t think I’ve seen a single Windows or Linux desktop UX feature in the past decade that isn’t a ripoff or a reformulation of something Apple did in the 2000s, and I think it’s a testament to how few people who are interested in desktop UX in particular are willing to switch between multiple platforms that these still seem novel half the time.
like, they didn’t invent compositing or webkit or any of that, but what they did with it for 5 years has basically been what everyone else is doing ever since
I fucked up reading the spec sheet on a little LCD panel I was hoping to use as a general-purpose little HDMI display (it accepts a 1080 by 1920 signal, not 1920 by 1080; providing it the latter creates incredible abstract art by interlacing the signal via chopping out each consecutive line of 1080 pixels from the 1920 pixel line),
does anyone know of a good ~5-12”, preferably-actually-1080p display with HDMI input? everything I can seem to find is at least 13 inches and I think I’m aiming more for a PSOne LCD feel
look at eyoyo stuff, I have a 8" 720p screen from them I like a lot. it came with a BNC cable!
I mean the Windows ecosystem tried once to maximize RAM codepage sharing across libraries included in separate apps and that eventually became known as “DLL hell”
That said in principle I agree it would be nice not to just pingpong from one extreme of the tradeoff space to the other but somehow finesse the problem to get the benefits of both. Not sure who can play that role or exactly how though especially on desktop
Microcenter really wants your money
if my computer finally died ahead of schedule I would feel pretty good about spending that money
18tb isn’t cutting it anymore. I Need More
I keep waiting to see what these 30tb drives with multiple platters that can do linear writes as fast as sata SSDs are going to cost because I’m afraid it’s gonna be like a thousand per
I will literally never fill a 1TB hard drive in my life lol
(but also I religiously uninstall/delete unused stuff, so 
)
I have about 30TB total usable that isn’t redundant with itself across all the machines I currently use plus network and cloud storage and it’s comfortable at this point
The latest Call of Duty is 231GB. It’s gonna be real easy to fill 1TB with only an handful of actively played games quite soon
PS5’s stock 825GB is gonna get a lot of third-party upgrades again, this time for size rather than speed. Even the lead system architect of the PS5 modded his own console
hmm, they have a 12” 1080p model which looks pretty good, might give that a shot! cheers
welcome, I think anything consumer-available below what they’re selling (in price/size) is basically just a digitizer + inputs like the thing you bought already, they’re the only ones manufacturing actual monitors in that category
I had briefly considered the iPad 3 LCD + controller board path (works out around the same cost as this 12” FHD thing) but honestly I cannot be bothered building an enclosure for something of that size, and 16:9 is probably more useful anyway
2 is a projector, 3 is tated, 4 is eyoyo, 5 is an iPad 2 with duet
