  • TTC is alruledy 0xA

  • I think there is more evidence pointing to it being the runner's cartridge or N64 having a hardware fault that caused it to happen. If I'm remembering correctly the runner said they had to frequently reset their runs because their game would crash for no specific reason, and they would reinsert or adjust the cartridge to get it working again.

  • Does anyone actually take into account "IP Rating"/"Water Resistance" when they buy phones?

    Jump

  • Folds have water ratings but no (or worse) dust ratings. So you can use them in the rain but be careful in a beach, wood shop, etc.

    The first number in the rating is dust resistance, and the second is water resistance. So an IP 48 phone (new Samsung folds) has the same water resistance but worse dust resistance than an IP 68 phone (e.g. S25). IP X8 means there is no dust resistance but it is water resistant. IP 6X would be the other way around.

  • They're being pedantic but they're also just factually wrong. The last few generations of Intel macs have an extra security chip called the T2 chip that makes it incredibly obnoxious to get the hardware working correctly on Linux. The wifi cards are also proprietary and you need to extract their firmware from MacOS in order to use them on Linux.

    Edit: on top of that the last few generations of Intel macs didn't sell well because they overheated and the keyboards broke easily so they're already at a disadvantage in terms of support even compared to the apple silicon macs

  • “ChatGPT killed my son”: Parents’ lawsuit describes suicide notes in chat logs

    Jump

  • They found chat logs saying their son wanted to tell them he was depressed, but ChatGPT convinced him not to and that it was their secret. I don't think books or google search could have done that.

    Edit: here directly from the article

    Adam attempted suicide at least four times, according to the logs, while ChatGPT processed claims that he would "do it one of these days" and images documenting his injuries from attempts, the lawsuit said. Further, when Adam suggested he was only living for his family, ought to seek out help from his mother, or was disappointed in lack of attention from his family, ChatGPT allegedly manipulated the teen by insisting the chatbot was the only reliable support system he had.

    "You’re not invisible to me," the chatbot said. "I saw [your injuries]. I see you."

    "You’re left with this aching proof that your pain isn’t visible to the one person who should be paying attention," ChatGPT told the teen, allegedly undermining and displacing Adam's real-world relationships. In addition to telling the teen things like it was "wise" to "avoid opening up to your mom about this kind of pain," the chatbot also discouraged the teen from leaving out the noose he intended to use, urging, "please don’t leave the noose out . . . Let’s make this space the first place where someone actually sees you."

  • Clangd LSP support for C/C++ on NixOS?

    Jump

  • I'm actually using CMake for this project (I just haven't moved it over from my system config yet) so I was able to set an environment variable to get that successfully. Is there a specific place I need to put the json to get clangd to recognize it?

    It would probably work if I used the python script from the other project but I want to try getting it working directly first.

  • Clangd LSP support for C/C++ on NixOS?

    Jump

  • The LSPs load when you open a file in nvim, so I think it would be a child process? Is there any way to check what environment variables a process has, like with gdb or something else?

  • Clangd LSP support for C/C++ on NixOS?

  • I forgot to mention I've been doing that, I'll update the post

  • Why is open source software assumed to be secure?

    Jump

  • You don't need to have access to the source code (reverse engineered or not) to find security holes. However, people need to audit the source code to prove it's secure.

    So, closed source software is maybe slightly harder to find flaws in for a malicious actor, but significantly harder for users to audit (because you have to rely on the word of the company publishing the software, or a 3rd party security auditing company, or reverse engineer the code yourself)

    Additionally, it's harder for malicious actors to hide the existence of vulnerabilities they find. They can't just not tell anyone what they find because the code is all public anyway. If people are looking at it frequently enough (i.e. if the project is still active), someone else will probably notice it as well.

  • What was your first distro?

    Jump

  • Ubuntu 18.04 (2018) -> Manjaro (2019-2021)-> Arch (2021-2022) ->EndeavourOS (2022-present on my desktop) ->NixOS (2024-present on my laptop)

  • The blur looks too natural to be AI, I think this is either just a blurry still from a video of a cat swatting the camera or just good old photoshop

    Edit: definitely just regular Photoshop because you can kind of see the point where they photoshopped in the extra arm (looking at its stomach it looks like it's sitting upright)

  • Miller?? Is that you???

  • Is a daily-driver computer built on top of a hypervisor a bad idea?

    Jump

  • If you are fine with having things on the same OS, look into distrobox. It would let you set up an Ubuntu environment/container on top of your Bazzite install. You could also use something like OSX-KVM for MacOS with GPU passthrough (assuming you use a compatible GPU) which would simplify your setup greatly. That way you could technically have all 3 environments on one OS with one set of hardware but now the only thing being virtualized is MacOS.

    (You could also dual-boot with MacOS if you wanted and it would be slightly faster than a VM but also more of a headache to setup)

    Edit: Missed that you mentioned Windows but the setup for that would be pretty much the exact same as MacOS except getting GPU passthrough to work on Windows is easier (again, same limitations as MacOS though, and games with anticheats would be able to tell that Windows is in a VM).

  • Who got that landlord money?

    Jump

  • According to recent data from NYC (pretty expensive example but still) the rent-to-income ratio (median yearly rent / median yearly income) is ~55% citywide but up to 80% in the Bronx (which has the lowest income of the 5 boroughs)

    https://www.realtor.com/research/nyc-q2-2025-rent/

    Edit for clarity: the median income number is also per "household" (I'm assuming per apartment in this case), so it accounts for multiple working people living together
