now I'd spend all my time turning the dial and overengineering its replacement :(

Did you update your macbook? Any MacOS install 10.15 and later can't run 32-bit apps, which half life is.

Anyways, get a copy of bootcamp and black mesa, then enjoy half life in all of its updated source 2 glory

note that the proprietary extensions are extremely unlikely to gain linux support though, unless upstream arm adopts something similar

though amx won’t help out with emulation much

Whats the point of getting a 980 pro if you're going to disable the cache? Don't disable cache, prevent unclean shutdowns

E-ink gets exponentially more expensive with size, and an e-ink panel in this keyboard would have to have a fairly decent resolution and refresh rate, whereas the price tags are usually 1-bit color, low res, and barely have to refresh

Saw your project a few days back, absolutely loved it! Same-ish setup here, a massive e-ink screen hooked up to a controller and pine64 board. I hung it up next to my bed, displays my most important emails/weather/health-notifs etc., everything I need in the morning to get up and running

The cost of the panel makes me cry but there's nothing like e-ink :)

E-ink is extremely expensive, especially at the size of a keyboard like that. Memory LCD would be more practical, but at that point the lcd costs the same and offers more power for those who want it.

There isn't anything stopping you from making the entire screen black except for the legends, probably

In the end yes, although it was much easier to get working than the authors adventures with firefox

raspotify/spotifyd aren't alternative desktop clients, they're connect clients, great if you want to modern-ify an old amplifier, but not useful for streaming.

All of the native desktop clients (psst, spot, etc) are missing quite a few features compared to the official client, and spotify-tui is nowhere near as nice to use.

Spotify-tui is the only one that implements connect functionality, and even then it doesn't have the extended auto-mixes that spotify plays when you're playlist ends.

I'm glad there are options for alternative native clients, but none of them are anywhere near feature parity with the official client

I was looking into this very problem yesterday! Terribly scared by widewine, I ended up building webkit with eme support enabled, then enabled the relevent setting in the nyxt browser. Seems to be working fine so far.

Yes, through a `build.rs` file and crates such as `pkg-config`. Quite a few projects depends on c/c++ source and are merely rust bindings. However, the majority of crates don't require external dependencies

Noone buys both versions of the pokemon game though, its always been a nice novelty. Me and my mates always used to get opposite games so we could trade everything up. Its good fun.

It was originally with microsoft, to go in a surface device, then that fell through and the steam deck picked it up. Not general use persay, but microsoft's general use
