Recent Notes
This is an 8 hour documentary. I've been putting off watching it.
You'd think it must be all filler. You'd be wrong.
This is hugely impressive work by Pandamonium
I always saw FMV games as filler. Not so the people who made them. Not so me anymore.

A strange hypothetical, I know, but I've been thinking: I love planes - Wouldn't it be awesome to own a private jet? Maybe even one with gold fixtures!
It'd cost so much to operate though... That's "multiple homes" money. Not to mention the environmental impact! I could never.

I had the dumb idea to hook up a Koryuu composite-to-component transcoder to the RetroTINK-4K to see what it'd look like.
While the RT4K has more robust filtering, the result of being able to dial in the sample rate over component is even composite video pixels get really sharp!

Apparently there are rumours that Windows 12 is coming this year and will not only double down on Copilot, but introduce a subscription model for it, despite requiring an NPU.
I refuse to believe Microsoft is stupid enough to try the heated seats DRM trick.

@nprofile1q... I don't really use them much since I don't have a 4K display handy, but yeah, it has good CRT masks and a CRT simulation mode that makes it look very close to a real CRT from what I've heard from people who have both to compare side by side.

@nprofile1q... Yeah, the signal is coming in from a real SNES via RGB SCART.
Messing with the RetroTINK-4K's latest experimental firmware, shrugged at the new high-pass filter until I tried it on my 2-chip SNES...
RT5x's pre-emph did similar, but the RT4K seems to have finer control.
A 2.00 MHz HPF (3.00 for hi-res modes) very nearly fixes the smear for me.

I’m not at CES but I feel it’s appropriate to say:
AI will not save us.
AI is a great tool, good at plenty of things. But it is a tool; It matters who uses it, & for what. It’s unprofitable, so ask who benefits, how; & whether that’s OK to you.

@nprofile1q... yeah, it’s a meme for a reason. It’s been the year of the Linux desktop for a long time now, depending on who you ask. For me, almost all of my professional and private use cases are now covered, so it’s my year of the Linux desktop. There are still some things that aren’t quite there, but the pain tolerance needed to live with it is much lower.

@nprofile1q... Hey if you were a Mac power user who knows how to use the terminal, you'll be far more at home with the DNA of Linux than you will with Windows!

@nprofile1q... VR has been getting much better on Linux, and the Frame, being a VR headset Linux PC, is also a very good sign. I’m glad there are finally good options for Quest headsets, even if it’s not quite at parity with Windows yet as far as steamvr compatibility goes. It works, but native steamvr is supposedly not great (haven’t tried it yet); there’s WiVRn / Monado as an alternative, and supposedly they work great, but they aren’t compatible with overlays launched from Steam. For that, there’s wlx-overlay-s, which looks like it’s probably pretty good. I’m planning to test that out sometime soon.
