There is more information in a typical, single page of comments here than there is on the average webpage. And I'd say a far higher signal to noise ratio (though depending on the topic discussed some will disagree).

But where can I try it out in my browser?

EDIT: https://cssdoom.wtf/


My phone IMMEDIATELY got toasty as I started moving around the world :')

Never tried Doom on a phone before, this one is surprisingly fluid and very playable.

It works perfectly in Safari on mobile. this never happens.

Works smoothly in Firefox. But the default key mapping is busted: fire at Alt means that it opens and closes the menu in Firefox with each press. Also, Alt + left arrow ends the game and goes back in history.

Interestingly, it was more choppy in Chromium.

I could not find a key for moving sideways ("strafing").

All in all, quite mind-boggling.


> Interestingly, it was more choppy in Chromium.

Firefox's WebRender is truly a great creation. While Chrome is faster at most things especially involving JS, Firefox puts so much of its rendering on the GPU so moving elements around is incredibly fast.


Strafing is implemented on A and D at least, but having one hand on the arrows to turn and WASD to move is a bizarre mix of modern and original controls

There are some new key-trap ApIs that can handle that, IIRC FF don't handle that part as well as Chrome.

And yet despite all our deficiencies they still choose to spend their time with us, how great are these creatures.

They are very patient with us

Don't blame 'em. My dog and I likewise enjoy watching the ocean.

Care to share some more detailed specs?

This is awesome news. One application I'd love to see run in Linux is Solidworks. Is there any interest in this, what would be the most effective way to support it financially, and how big a donation do you think it would take to achieve extremely good results? (Or will it forever be stuck in VM's using passthrough GPU's?)

> USB-C oscilloscopes work because the peripheral contains all the hardware, so it doesn't particularly matter that the device->host latency is high.

Yeah, that's basically the way accessories have gone. Powerful mcu's and soc's have gotten cheap enough to make it viable. Makes me a little sad though, I liked having low latency "GPIO's" straight to software running on my PC (but I'm thinking as far back as the parallel port... love how simple that was).


It's not just that - anything working with analog signals benefits hugely from not living inside the complete EM interference nightmare of the computer case.

Well it's kind of describing the reality that exists at other companies today. Most ToS's have clauses where they can kick you off for not using it as intended, solely at their discretion. At least these guys are honest and upfront about it. I do agree though some more guidelines around their policy would be nice.

Why would you say FTP is obsolete? For what it's worth, I still use it (for bulk file transfer).

chrome and firefox dropped support for it 5 years or so ago, it has had a lot of security issues over the years, was annoying over NAT, and there are better options for secure bulk transfers (sftp, rsync, etc)

I see, I assumed by ftp you also meant sftp.

Depending on your hardware (SBC), FTP can also be several times faster than SFTP for transferring files over a LAN. Though I'll admit to having used other protocols like torrents for large files that had bad transfers or other issues (low-quality connection issues causing dropped connections, etc).

TFTP is also a good choice for transferring files over trusted networks to/from underpowered devices.

How expensive was that shipment?
