No, I don't think so. There is cleanup required on the rails of course, but it's used fairly regularly in some places I think when the tracks are wet

A lot of trams carry sand that they can put on the rails to get more grip when they need to break really fast. That might be what happened there

You know, the new word is 'affordability.' Another word is just 'groceries.' It's sort of an old-fashioned word but it's very accurate. And they're coming down

such an eloquent speaker

people are saying that the witcher 3 works really well with the winulator app (uses wine and box86, which i've heard usually performs a tiny bit better than FEX, what valve is using, at the cost of occasional innacuracies)

not disagreeing, but if you just want to run the witcher 3 on your phone you can do it right now

get rid of the vr stuff and add a normal touchscreen instead, make the UI a bit more phone-like, add a cellular connection, get rid of monochrome and add color cameras, make it a little thinner, integrate the battery, add a bunch of phone apps (calculator, texts, calls, browser, notes, email, camera, etc)

computing-wise, it is very similar tho, it has the exact same processor that's in my phone, just a bit more ram, can be configured to have the same amount of storage

I think linux is the point. Because Valve has put SteamOS on their VR headset (which uses the same processor I have in my phone) it would be expected for them to do the same to a phone. Having a phone with an optimized emulator, a normal linux for arm desktop mode, and Steam built in would be very nice IMO, there are a lot of PC games that play fairly well with on-screen controls or even one of those controller phone cases that you can buy, and it's very hard to find good mobile games in comparison. I have the app Winulator on my phone, which sort of does that same thing, except not insanely reliably, and with meh UX, and it can't really run Steam (last I checked, I couldn't get it to work, it might be easier now idk), and you can't run linux x86 or ARM apps or windows ARM apps through it like I think people will be able to on the Steam frame.

the gpu is weak, but with proper foveated rendering it is absolutely good enough I think

I'm someone who has gotten sick in cars before (rarely) but I have done a lot of crazy stuff on VR and never felt remotely sick. I'm an outlier though

It's probably significantly photoshopped, look at how there's no texture in an area to the right side of the person

this game is great, i installed it just now. I heard the game is bad, but even still, i assumed the ui problems must have been from running the game through proton. but no, it's literally just that bad

also, on wikipedia there's a picture of the truck climbing a steep mountain. but what it doesn't show is that the truck actually goes much faster up steep mountains than over flat land because the physics system is terrible and the car doesn't slow down at all horizontally when it starts moving vertically.

It says in the article

15% of these subreddits contained content likely posted by bots or corporate trolls specifically designed to promote companies or organizations.

The title is just misinfo I guess

That's two data points influenced by countless other factors. Like the economy, which I mentioned.

I was trying to set up mail for my server, to send status emails, gitlab emails, etc. I know this can be done with relays but I was interested in sending mail directly using SMTP. Apparently my ATT residential internet blocks outbound signals on that port by default, although there are several reports of people calling customer support and getting that changed.

The most recent thing I can find was someone on Reddit 3 years ago:

xnojack: Probably depends on the rep. Just got mine unblocked a week ago. I read online though its better to say you're looking to allow SMTP outbound rather than port 25 outbound. Cause on the reps end its called something like SMTP outbound filter. (link)

I tried to call in and get this changed, the rep was very helpful but either something's changed on their end or he was looking in the wrong place. Anyways, I was wondering if any of you have gone through this process recently and know if this is still a thing, or have any advice.

 

This is at JFK, does anyone know what they are used for? There wasn’t an obvious time when it was taking a picture.
