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).
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").
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
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.
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)
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).
