Fun fact: The first Nvidia chip, the NV1, used quadrilaterals for primitives rather than triangles because it was based on and somewhat compatible with the Sega Saturn. However around the same time MS announced that DirectX would exclusively support triangle primitives and the rest was history.

I’m pretty sure it’s the same as those tiny milk bottles that look just like the gallons, these are just based off the larger jugs they used to use.

Technology@lemmy.world•Raspberry Pi is intentionally blocking RAM capacity upgradesEnglish
0·1 day agoFor what it’s worth the original point of the Pi was to recreate the experience of the Commodore 64 or BBC Micro where they came with huge manuals with ample examples and were more or less bare hardware for cheap. Taking that metaphor all the way is how we got the 400 and 500.

For some reason there are people on here who think that Lemmy should just be a copy of Reddit.

Technology@lemmy.world•Why Personal Websites Are Coming BackEnglish
0·6 days agoOne of the shitty Mars movies from the early 2000s, Red Planet, has a line where one of the douche bags says to one of the nerdy types “so how many did you get on your website today” and it never fails to crack me up both because it dates the movie horribly and because it’s the jock saying it to the nerd.
No… there is literally not a camera in existence that can reproduce exactly what a human sees.
No camera can capture what humans can see. Human eyes have a roughly 22mm focal length but see closer to what a camera with a 55mm length sees. This, of course, also varies from person to person and is also effected by the fact that you mostly use two at once and average them.
More importantly, I don’t use Discord and I am not going to sign up for a second account on top of GitHub or whatever just to interact with your project.
I live at the crux between “soda pop” and “coke” as generic names for soda.
I’ve lived in the USA for my whole life and only ever heard the dash variant to my memory.

Technology@lemmy.world•Pentax Discontinues Its Entire DSLR LineupEnglish
0·11 days agoI’ll say it again… Lemmy does not need to be a copy of Reddit. If you disagree with that then disagree with it. But acting like it’s not a valid point is just ignoring my argument.
I also already made my point here. Zoom requires a zoom lens not just a focusing lens and not less pixels. No matter what tricks you played 35mm is never going to be zoomed in full format and the same is true for digital.
This is the last time I repeat myself for you.

If the sentence “Lemmy does not need to be a copy of Reddit” is to complicated for you then I am done trying to explain.

Fun fact: Campaign Evolved is technically the third remake.
Bungie was originally a Mac exclusive game company when they were bought out by MS. Halo was almost complete at that point and had to be ported to DirectX. The original PowerPC edition got a release eventually as well as an updated Universal Binary version that, due to the MacBook Air, is the only game I know of to have an official no-CD patch.
