Had to basically reinstall my PC every 3 months (if i used vr in those times, which i stopped after a few reinstalls) because the mixed reality app somehow broke itself again with no amount of updates/fixing/reinstalling or terminal work fixing it.
I tried, i tried alot but all the hours were just wasted since only a clean install worked, for about 2-3 months until it just decides it doesnt want to open again.
The windows mixed reality portal has then made me stop playing vr completly about 5-6 years ago because i couldnt justify reinstalling everything every few months for a few hours of beatsaber and then like 3-4 years ago i FULLY switched to linux so now its just a paperweight anyway (i think they removed the support in modern windows anyway iirc)
Basically just waiting for the steam frame each and every day currently
A Minecraft Mod that outputs the Stats of the players onto a website (I made it use APIs, so an app or CLI tool would be easy to create later on).
This is my first Minecraft Mod and the first project i made that interacts with the network, has logins/accounts and does APIs.
I am really not good and thus the UI (far worse on mobile) and especially the Code is bad, but i would have never expected to get it working at all, much less this functional.
But i am still far from done, i still want to improve the overall code quality, add the inventory and ender chest, achievements (maybe even custom ones so vanilla clients can earn and view them without having to change anything locally. IDK yet) and more.
If someone wants a small demo, i have it running on my server to test while I am developing at: https://grisu-ftp.de
(If you find any issues lmk :)
While this is by far not as cool as the other stuff on here i still would like to show it off and gather some first feedback.
This is my first Java project that goes above the Standard stuff in school like scanners/calculators and so I have probably done obvious beginner mistakes.
While this is HEAVILY off-topic i just have to say it.
"common knowledge that you can't grant any trust to the client" is the exact reason it annoys me so much when peoples solution to cheaters in video games is basically just "Rootkit my pc please"
As long as the anticheat is Client sided, you shouldnt put trust in it.
"Just because it's the mess we are all intimately familiar with, doesn't make it less of a mess."
I kinda feel like you could apply the statement more to powershell tho.
I just dont see how Remove-Item is superior to rm and thats just the first example that came to mind (Atleast there are aliases for most stuff afaik so i guess its not AS bad).
I also just googled and there seem to be 3-4 different commands (not including the aliases) that do EXACTLY the same thing, atleast the Microsoft article used 1:1 the same description for all of them.
Its very likely that its just because i have almost no experience with powershell meanwhile i have now ~4-5 years of dailying linux but i just find the powershell commands to be very cumbersome to use.
They are wayyy to long and descriptive instead of just 2-4 letters, there are 500 different commands for very specific uses instead of 10 tools that you can use and combine todo almost everything and if i recall correctly (my memory might trick me here tho) the errors are far less readable at a first glance and fill the entire terminal for simple things.
CMD meanwhile feels like bash.
Most of my issues with it are probably just skill issues tho since like i said i dont really use or know it alot so i am happy to be corrected :) I mean if every Windows Sysadmin tells me how great powershell is, i cant just assume that they all are wrong (Or maybe its just the only way todo something thats otherwise simple over the terminal on windows, idk)
Afaik you can run Claude Code locally but every single demo i see uses it exclusively with apis, so are the local models already good enough to be worth it or is the only reasonable use for claude code with cloud models?
Well even if my Framework would explode it wouldnt be THAT big of a deal to me, i would just move over to my ps5 or steamdeck for the time and since i dont really go outside i would have to wait for the shipment anyway.
Only scenario where it would be troubling is if it happened during the rare weeks where i am not home due to being a bit away in school but even then i dont think i would just buy an entirely new laptop and instead just write on paper for the 3-4 remaining days.
So for me fixing a keyboard i spilled cola on fast, cheap and without sending the device away is far far far more important than replacing an entire laptop when it disintegrates into dust.
While i think the usecase of a Macbook and a Framework are really different i will always be thankfull to framework for how easy they make it.
Broke my keyboard, a few days later i had a new one that didnt even take a minute to swap. Wanted to upgrade my GPU twice, didnt even take 10 minutes.
Biggest difficulty was swapping the motherboard, but even that was easy.
The ports i need change all the time, and i can just swap them all the time :D
While a framework might be a bit expensive, overpriced even, i think the repairability and upgradeability is worth it for me
I just talked about using it on Desktop mode like a PC. I never said anything about doing business on it or using it as your Work PC.
Even the announcement "trailer" of the steammachine showed it getting used on a Computer monitor with mouse and keyboard in desktop mode. They even said they want to improve the "Desktop mode only" experience iirc and for there more apps than just games are important.
And i personally probably wouldnt have bought a steamdeck if it wasnt possible to just go into desktop mode and do whatever.
Also a big part of the marketing for the SteamMachine/SteamDeck/SteamFrame is that it has a desktop mode and can be used like a pc, so i think they also have an interest in that
AFAIK this is not like the steamdeck where it unloads the entire desktop for better performance, its basically just a fullscreen app if its the same thing those windows handhelds got (And this is what it looks like to me).
IIRC Linus Torvalds said in the Linus Tech Tips video he was in that he thinks many of the bluescreens Windows gets a bad rep for are actually bitflips that happen due to most desktops not using ECC-Memory.
Since i have seen this video this question has been in my mind from time to time.
Even if I disregard all the shady connections that are obviously total coincidences, it still wouldnt feel better they worked together at all. You should only partner with a company if you are 100% certain it fits.
I dont have a real special usecase, i just use it whenever i think it will give better results than googling or thinking or i dont feel like getting annoyed by cookie popups.
And i dont think gpt3 was best, but it felt like it actually listened.
Now i tell it: "You did this and this wrong, i specifically told u the exact opposite. Can you please do what i asked you?"
And then it says something like: "Oh yes my bad, you are right and very very smart to have caught that you must be a super genius. I will now do what you asked me"
Does the same wrong thing again. and again and again.
I ask it to fix a mistake, it tells me it fixed it, gives 1:1 the same thing with more errors.
It also feels like it forgets mid convo way faster than it did.
