Weird thing is that Fillion is back as Cayde in the final shape promos.
Lots of weird incorrect answers in the comments. MS 100% has changed CPU architectures and needs to emulate old games. The 360 was basically a PowerMac.
My guess - the Xbox One’s launch catalog was trash, and MS doubled down on emulation to build it out. Then they never stopped. They kept plugging away at it, and now they have a giant asset for GamePass.
MS got a head start because they were desperate for good games in the early days on the One.f
Or you do what MS does. Put the old games in your subscription service. Make money with monthly fees from people who don’t have the disks or don’t have an optical drive.
As other noted, this is not true. The early 360 development kits were literally PowerMac towers purchased from Apple.
360 games require emulation, and MS has been slowing plugging away at expanding its emulation library for years. None of this was easy.
The original Xbox, Xbox One, and S/X are all basically x86 PCs, but the 360 was basically a Power Mac. Microsoft was literally using PowerMac G5 towers as early development kits for the 360.
Supporting 360 games is pretty time consuming and requires emulation. MS has been slowly chipping away at it for years.
Why do people keep saying the NIF experiment was a net gain? People focus on the laser input at the end of the line, which was 20MJ and produced 25MJ. But the input power to charge the capacitors was 422MJ.
The whole experiment produced 5% of what was put in.
Love - auto health or shield regen. When I first experienced that in Halo it made me instantly hate other games that didn’t have some form of that mechanic.
I hate managing health inventory items. It breaks gameplay flow with tedious bullshit that isn’t nearly as fun as focusing on the a combat mechanic.
Pay wall mirror?
What type of engineer?
If you’re a software engineer, then you can probably start to look around for remote work. You will also have the luxury of looking at tech companies that also have nice offices and campuses that aren’t soul sucking cubicles.
Not great, but here is a bigger version.
To be fair, often times that question is code for “how can someone contribute to that platform while also paying rent, feeding their kids, etc.”
I think that’s a fair question and IMHO, for a fedi project to succeed, we need some people who can get paid a reasonable wage to focus their full attention on the work.
We’re likely going to continue to see folks who ask for Patreon donations and set up fedi hosting businesses, like Ruud at Lemmy World. We’ll also probably see more folks like the Tapbots gang selling fancy clients for a price.
Individual people will make money so they can live life, but cash cow corporations likely won’t be a thing.
According to Apple
Such as racial or ethnic data, sexual orientation, pregnancy or childbirth information, disability, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, political opinion, genetic information, or biometric data
Not a great day for social media. Twitter down, Reddit has not 3rd party apps, Lemmy is being hugged to death by people bailing Reddit and Twitter.
I guess I’ll go outside.
If you’re going all in on smart home shit, you should ALWAYS buy the products that work when the internet goes out, or when the local IoT network shits out.
Example, fuck Hue lights. Gets Caseta switches that are wired in and can be used like real switches. Don’t get a smart lock that requires a phone or a wireless pays. Get one that also has a keypad that is hardwired directly into the lock and has a normal key hole. Carry the key just incase.
Having used both, Penpot still had a feature gap. For example, prototyping in Figma is much farther along. Penpot is still stuck in Invision land.
Looking at that haircut, I’m going to assume this man doesn’t make smart choices. Is that a frombover?
People love to try to cheat on their taxes in the US. Hell, Trump basically bragged about it on the debate stage while running for President.
All in all, what he did was consider a misdemeanor since he paid it back once he got called out.
He didn’t pay his taxes, he got caught, he paid up and now he’s on probation. Seems like he was held accountable.
