[@amahashadow]

34:00 as a senior dev that actually do that, I can actually answer with good reasons, we usually have an installer that can run on anything, handshake with our servers, and then download and install the needed stuff only (depending on the os version, vc redists versions, in some case, driver versions for db access for exemple). sure we could put everything in a single massive package. But this has a few benefits, lower load on our servers, better UX (overall download+install is faster, even though it's 2 steps, because you have less stuff to download, and the ability to install different versions of a module depending on the user)

[@braapybobby]

That's what I was thinking. Like most CAD software, you download the installer, then select the options, and then it'll only download those required files + dependencies instead of 25+GB of things

highlight of my week

[@TheOriginalFaxon]

The best part about NY trying to ban 3D printers is that they're ONLY trying to ban 3D printers, not any CnC equipment actually capable of machining the metal parts you would need to actually make a gun the normal way. Are they going to ban cold hammer forges next without a background check? Oh and the best part about this is that any shop that owns a 3D printer will no longer be able to hire felons. Just imagine you worked for a half a decade in prison on work release studying to get your Journeyman as a machinist or a mechanic, and now that every shop is getting a 3D printer to make parts on, you no longer are legally allowed to work in those industries because of being banned from interacting with this ubiquitous technology that is going to eventually be in almost every home in the country (no seriously, they're already cheap enough). It's fucking stupid too, you don't need a background check to purchase smokeless powder, or crude ammonal (brand name tannerite) explosives, and put them inside of a metal pipe that you scored with a pineapple pattern, and put a fuse in the top. None of those items are restricted in who can purchase them, only in how they're supposed to be stored safely, and can do far more damage if your goal was to commit a crime. It's especially dumb since they're not making it illegal to build your own printer from parts. I don't think the legislators realize how easy it would be to acquire one even without going out of state. This is not going to work lmao

[@guccipucci69420]

[@hitless6298]

How easy is it to get and run the CnC compared to 3D Printing though? The cost, the size, the expertise, the whole load of different machines you would need to CnC a metal gun is A LOT. Still don’t think 3D printers should need a background check but your argument makes no sense at all.

when we were kids in the early 80s, we took a steel pipe some gaffa tape the gunpowder and fuse wire from a firework some cotton wool and a ball bearing made a rudimentary musket barrel and shot a hole in a brick wall. combining science and history to figure out pipe guns is why you should study in school kids.

Those were the early 80s (40 years ago). Even as a Western European i heard such stories being told by my parents and grandparents... but things like that already became near impossible to do during the early 00s when cameras and extreme supervision became the norm. I bet it wouldn't even have been acceptable during the 1980s. Perhaps even pure luck when nobody got harmed or killed.

Google maps doesn't have that much distortion since it's not actually a flat map except for the part you are looking at. It always re-centers the projection on the center of your view so the distortion is minimal compared to a full globe 2d projection for example.

These 3D Printer Background Checks are like if you had to get a license for using the internet in order to reduce the danger of people hacking others.

[@cor144]

If they are pushing for background checks for 3d printers they will no doubt realise that the printers can be sold on again to people after the initial sale. They will have to also push for serial numbers to be registered and have every part marked with the serial number of the printer used to make the parts.

[@PantyDropper69]

Oh welcome to firearms! Even though a semi truck is more deadly...

[@NewandForgiven]

Amazing argument; you mean the semi you need a licence for? And the semi is highly regulated?

[@supertrexandroidx]

Right. And if you have felony conviction, you just get someone to buy it for you who doesn't. If you're the buyer and worried about being held responsible, make sure you keep the printer housed on your premises. If someone else prints a gun part on it, how exactly will it be proven that the part came from that printer? What kind of serial number on a part couldn't be erased? But before long, they will probably come up with a law that only certain kinds of licensed businesses can own a 3D printer.

[@NewandForgiven]

@supertrexandroidx For sure, the legislation sounds really, really stupid, but the comparing guns to vehicles is just a terrible argument.

[@braapybobby]

​@@NewandForgivenin the US, you don't need a license to own, purchase, title, or anything else physical with a vehicle, semi included. You need a license to OPERATE it. Like requiring to pass hunters ed before a child can operate a hunting rifle/shot gun in most states (at least on public land)

[@Glyn_Burton]

for the steam auto updates, you still can enable games to update the moment they get an update, you just need to enable that feature for every single game you have downloaded by, 1) right clicking the game 2) going to preferences 3) then updates 4) and under Automatic Updates change it to High Priority and after this tedious process do it for every other game you will ever download or until steam allows it as a universal option

[@sandmaster4444]

Heh. I personally set all my games to only update on launch as I play so few of them ao rarely that I would otherwise cause a lot of pointless updates. And my games are usually lower tier so updates are generally small and quick enough. It's just time to refill my water bottle!

[@jonathantrombley4464]

36:42 The Windows update team had a webinar once where they mentioned that clicking “Check Now” is an eager check and will give you updates that aren’t set for auto download yet. The normal Windows update check looks stable available updates. The eager check searches for the next update to go stable.

[@atticusrussell1225]

I dislike that design choice. I feel like that should be more transparent

[@milamber319]

The reason steam doesn't auto update quite so hard is because people have big libraries and you might not play a game in a time frame where 3 or 5 updates might go past before you launch the game again. Why download and overwrite files 5 times between plays instead of once.

[@swiftdragonrider]

That is stupid. Did I set it to auto update? Yes did it auto update? No? Then it sucks

[@Creepernom]

​@@swiftdragonriderUntil you start complaining that Steam is eating up all of your resources by constantly downloading huge files.

[@ruukinen]

@@Creepernom That is why it's literally a setting? I expect the setting to do what it says on the tin. Why provide me with that option if it doesn't behave like that anyway.

[@Creepernom]

It distributes the load on Steam's servers - if an update for CS2 came out and EVERYONE started downloading it at once, Steam's servers would suffer. Not everyone wants to play the game immediately and it lets them spread the load out over a longer time.

[@jfolz]

@@ruukinen it's literally still a setting. The default was changed to defer downloads, but you can set individual games to "high priority". That makes download immediate, and take priority over other downloads. This is actually better than what Steam did previously. I don't know why they did this, but I suspect it does reduce traffic for everyone involved.

[@insu_na]

For the iPhone update mechanism you could fuse it off after the phone has been fully set up for first use. As in while it's still in its original packaging and was never used by a customer the phone can be updated with this pad through the packaging, but once it has been bought and the user has set up the iPhone, a fuse burns through that disables the wireless-pad-update functionality.

[@quantuminfinity4260]

It’s hard to say for sure, but all it seems to do is turn on the device and tell it to get an update, it’s functionally the same as if somebody takes the phone out of the box and tells the phone to get an update before they go through the process of activating it. It’s just now it can be done inside of a box. The phone will already turn on when you apply wireless power to it.

[@SerinJameson]

Re: The Steam hardware survey - is it possible they're unwilling to change the methodology because of the truly huge amount of data they have with the current schema? Having worked in social research, one thing that seemed to hold true is that if a survey question has been asked in a certain way for a not-insignificant amount of time, the client is often either uneasy or completely unwilling to change it - because it mucks with the comparability between old and new data.

[@beemo1579]

They could easily add the new stuff without losing the old data. That would be more helpful if anything.

[@jfolz]

I'd hope that they have way more detailed data internally. Count over time by component name, especially at such low frequencies, would be an absolute non-issue to process and store almost indefinitely.

[@Bluelightzero]

It would be great if the hardware survey allowed you to see per game data. That is: the top % of players in terms of play time in the last week (To filter out people who bought a game and didn't really play it) Then you can see what kind of hardware you need for a specific game. Maybe valve could use this to generate "Recommened specs" on the store page.

[@daviddesfosses7692]

1:47:12 being in the farther track of your lane when passing on a motorcycle may give you more time to react, but actually puts you in a vehicle's blind spot sooner and longer as you go by. Most rider training courses teach you to "own your lane" by riding in the closer track to other traffic so you are more visible to them.

[@Quettesh]

Not changing tires in pairs is actually dangerous. Even few milimeters smaller diameter on one side and completelly different friction (it will pull to one side when breaking) is a huge problem. Also the age is really important, even if you still have enough tread, they can be dangerous to use.

[@nicholasvinen]

That's sort of true but there's also no guarantee that the road has the same grip on both sides either. That's why electronic brake force distribution is a thing. Regarding age, we had a set of Continental tyres around 6.5 years old that started falling apart. Chunks were coming off. After that I think we'll stick to Michelin...

[@mrgallbladder]

If you price the threadripper per core, $1500 for 64 cores is actually very cheap. First gen. was $550 for 8 cores ($69 per core). Then the 12 core was $800 ($67 per core). Following the same logic, $1500 for 64 cores is $23.5 dollars per core.

[@rylandnewby]

10:40 This is why i love this show. Luke and Linus are both obviously people who are in the world and know what's going on, but little slips like this let you know where their heart is.

[@aaronlandry3947]

For Luke: You also don't want to pass the drivers who are constantly running out of their lane... because now the danger is behind you. Keep the danger in front of you where you can see it.

On the topic of "free shipping"... I was raised with the lesson that the concept of "free" doesn't exist. But many people genuinely believe that it does. The truth is, nothing is free. It always benefits the person in some way, and cost something somewhere down the line. It doesn't matter if it's money, time or labor. Things always have a cost.

Good luck finding competent Engineers in Indonesia. Our Engineering Grads would rather take up cushy "birokrasi" govt job than any "dirty tukang job". Engineering is looked down here in Indon-clownesia. I'm a custom mod SI who does a lot of mods to transform old Singaporean ATX office case (which have sturdy build mind you) into gaming case with custom-made dust filter and extra airflow. And people here treat me like I was some short of dirty hobo. Our culture simply lacks appreciation for the trades. The U.S would have made more money investing for chip Industry in Eastern Europe or Mexico. I worked with Polish and Ukrainian server Engineers on an HP-liscensed distribution centre and holy shit, those are some of the best engineers I've ever met.

[@matthewpatane]

For my uni major works I concept designed a device & app that you can use to assess your motorcycle riding style & suggest ways to improve. the device acted a bit like a dashcam (with a 180 degree camera, range sensors, GPS, and gyro sensors) to see how you ride, what angles you use, what braking distances you give, and how you ride based off of your surroundings to offer suggestions to improve your riding style. I think if this device became a reality it would be a massive deal in the market, as when learning to drive a car you can have someone in the passenger seat teaching you what's right and wrong, but when you are riding it's much more difficult to get someone to ride along with you and give you feedback whilst riding.

After making fun of twitter, and his long history of slagging everything related to Musk, Linus says how great it would be if companies were transparent and just said what was on their minds. Like wow. If Musk kept his mouth shut it would solve half their problems. And he said it, after embarrassingly not realizing that the defensive driving systems he wants for vehicles actually exists as ADAS systems in several vehicles today, including of course teslas, where the cars just act to protect you. And not realizing that those features in teslas exist because they've been so focused on full autonomy, and that they work even when you don't have autopilot or fsd activated. FFS if the system just gave friendly suggestions as he describes, it would always be too late.

Here's a use scenario for steam to download from another computer. I have a bunch of jackbox games installed on my pc incase i want to stream it and play with friends.

[@stereodark]

33:31 there is definitely a reason for this. Publishing the installer takes time, especially in third party platforms like steam. You don’t want to do it so often, it’s much easier to keep an installer longer and let it auto update on launch. The one thing I don’t get is why bundling in the installer so much resources in the first place. Just let people download a 7mb installer and then download from it all you need.

[@jackielinde7568]

As someone who is a US Citizen that supports both the Second Amendment and smarter gun legislation and controls, I'm with you and Luke. The language is way overreaching because it said "ANY PARTS". This is effectively banning all 3D printers because all printers can make some part of a gun without making the actual parts that makes a gun work. while things like the barrel, firing pin, trigger, receiver and other parts of the firing mechanism are the only things can be 3D printed, they can only be printed on specific printers due to a requirement of being made of metal. And some of these parts (like the barrel specifically) are far better made on lathes and mills. And while there are some filaments strong enough to print those items, they are no where near reliable and durable enough to be used in a firearm without injuring the operator of said gun. Yeah, this is what you get when uninformed politicians start making policy because it sounds good. "Look! We're doing something about 'The Gun Problem'" without doing something about the actual problems people are facing on the streets.
