Matter is just the protocol from my understanding, it can also be used over Thread, which is a seperate radio and made to replace Zigbee/Z-Wave.

Show HN: PoC to use the Chrome Prompt API on other people's machine

psyonity — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 10:45:36 +0000

I've built a quick and dirty concept that shows the new built-in (since Chrome 148) prompt api in action. It offloads the messages to random other people that are visiting the site.

Ever since I saw the prompt api I thought this was a risk, considering there is no accept, agree or any dialog to download or use the api. It's inspired by the post from https://www.thatprivacyguy.com/blog/chrome-silent-nano-insta...

New comment by psyonity in "The PSP feels surprisingly present right now"

psyonity — Tue, 12 May 2026 05:40:33 +0000

Because the Vita was less popular everywhere outside of Japan, which makes that there are less units available and the units cost a few times the price of a psp second hand. (in The Netherlands the PSP is just under 100 Euro second hand, usually with 20+ game discs, a vita starts at 200 without any games and often without a charger)

A lot of people also still have a PSP just hanging around, less so with the vita.

A lot of what Proton-GE brings from my understanding is a larger support for Media Foundation, which can't be added to Proton itself because of license issues (Proton is from a commercial company, where Proton-GE is from an individual).

So aside from the stuff that has been implemented differently, running Proton instead of Proton GE is like trying to game on Windows N editions.

I played the F-Zero game recently in an Arcade nearby, it was amazing! I was so suprised when a buddy of mine went like: "Yeah, there is just a Gamecube in this".

I _just_ got my dreamcast with PSO back online and was wondering what time it was displaying!

Thank you for helping me discover the source of this little brainwurm.

It was very broken for a long time. Since fairly recently you have WiVRn (specifically wivrn-dashboard on Arch) for Oculus (more supported though) and I would daresay it works better then SteamVR used to do for me on Windows

There is a chance the led is also used as a important diode in the circuit, plainly removing it can greatly reduce the lifespan of the device. (more common in cheaper products)

Adding a appropiate diode in it's place is advised.

While I think this change is great, I am not directly convinced Safari should be included in the list by their own rules, considering the app has not been explicitly downloaded by at least 5,000 users in the prior calendar year.

Torch, SciPy, numpy and opencv combined get close to (or over, with transient dependencies) 1GB.

When you use Conda instead of venv, the amount of cuda packages grow even more if you're unluckly.

It's all way too big.

To me this feels like it would test what the code does, not what the code is _supposed_ to do.

Tests should in my opinion validate the intent behind code, not the actual function itself.

When I was in school lunchbreak was 10 minutes, in the classroom of the last finished subject, from 12:15 to 12:25.
