Say… how far on the dark side of the moon am I living if I never heard about this streamer before? xD
I get the charm of a console for gaming. Just switch it on and go. Still prefer a PC at the end of the day though. For once my preferred genres are very unrepresented on consoles and since I dabble in DIY I do not have that level of freedom on a console or mobile phone. Well, do some extend. Fiddling around with key remappers that hijack on the accessibility system is horrible. Anyway, I enjoy tinkering and this is not really something consoles are known for, no?
This said it is very amazing that I can just e.g. fire up Waydroid nowadays, connect an X360 controller and play AmongUs with the little one on my Linux PC. That level of possibilities is mind boggling.
Quite an impressive list (together with the other posts). And here I thought I was a space nutter (thanks Beyond The Frontier!).
Missing the slug throwers Diaspora: Shattered Armistice and House of the Dying Sun though. The former is an Open Freespace mod in the BSG verse with a great campaign, the latter a rather short but still very nicely done pew pew that shines especially on sound effects (and I guess VR but I didn't try that). Both do TrackIR though (and I even hacked together an OpenTrack provider for the native Linux version of FSO).
Whenever I order I always get a male and female connector because the terminology doesn’t seem to be consistent across connector designs.
Heh, there are a lot of unusual designs that are neither and both too :D Connectors are wild.
I wonder where my 04 install went xD
dunno, it's for the flowers 🤷
This. They are also known as "arcade buttons". Everything you want to really smash :D
Watt the…
Why yes it's a SAS drive. You can find that in some NAS models for home use too. Otherwise this is usually server land.
The thing with HBAs is that you usually only get virtual disks on the system side because the controller masks the real disks. This is not really needed any more since modern filesystems can do RAID functionality too - and even better and faster - but that does require direct access to the drive.
Many controllers can be patched though or come with a pass through (JBOD) mode out of the box, which allows you to use that kind of drive directly again. Such drives can be obtained used for cheap too so this may be a feasible option to extend the possible amount of drives for a desktop computer at home too a lot. Most controllers support 4-8 devices.
KiCAD is good and has no vendor lock-in.
There are very good beginner tutorials and videos explaining typical workflows.
It features also stuff like auto-routing, error checking, part lists and 3D previews.
Heh, probably for the better 🤣
