They do if you host it yourself. I’ve done a fair bit of WordPress development. You can add your own plugins that override base functionality, and if that isn’t enough you can just modify the base code directly (but you’ll have to reconcile it with updates if you want to update).

Bazzite is generally the go-to for gaming.

And that’s what happens when you spend a trillion dollars on an autocomplete: amazing at making things look like whatever it’s imitating, but with zero understanding of why the original looked that way.

ALDI sells some really good salted caramel chocolates.

It isn’t exactly difficult to get chocolate that tastes like chocolate.

1. You’d presumably do it as 2.0, but I used 1.1 for the numbers just to demonstrate that you can definitely fit 8 controllers into a packet even if you go for unreasonable levels of backwards compatibility.
2. Without a hub, I’m not aware of a way to exceed 8 axes per HID device (7 in Windows for some reason). Each Xbox controller has six, so even two controllers can’t be one device.
3. As far as I can find, most USB 2 implementations can take up to 1000 packets per second per root hub, regardless of packet size. I was already assuming one controller poll per packet for the hub version, and that’s 125Hz per controller with all eight.
4. You aren’t actually pressing buttons at 125Hz, no. However, if your input is barely too late for one 125Hz poll, you can get enough delay to be noticeable in fast-paced games. Most controllers and mice use 1kHz for this reason, with some even supporting up to 8kHz if your USB implementation supports it (which apparently is pretty common with xHCI, but Microsoft didn’t want to rely on that for obvious reasons).

They won’t always admit it, but they definitely imply it.

Well, yeah, obviously it can be done. What’s the latency, though? A hub’s muxing alternates between packets from different devices, but even USB 1.1 has 64B packets, leaving 64b per controller if you report them all in one packet. That’s 15 digital buttons, 6b per axis, and 13b left over for routing.

However, I can’t think of a way to get the computer to decode one 64B packet into eight separate HID polls without a custom driver. If you use a hub, you’re limited to 8kHz total by the spec, but many EHCI controllers limit that to 1kHz. 125Hz per player is not great.

I can’t confirm that this is the reason or that there isn’t a different way around the restriction, but it seems likely from what I know of USB hubs.

TL;DR: with a custom driver, you can report all controllers on all USB polls rather than each taking up a whole interval, giving you 8x the polling rate compared to an emulated hub with 8 standard HIDs.

The 8bitdo version is easier to implement because it’s one dongle per controller. The Xbox dongle supports eight controllers per dongle. This complicates things; I assume they didn’t want to emulate an eight-port USB hub on the dongle.

You can use BT, but there’s a reason 8bitdo has a dongle as well: BT has worse latency, I assume due to protocol overhead.

And at least Xbox controllers are cross-compatible. You can’t use a DS4 on a PS5, even if you’re playing a PS4 game.

I was getting terrible and inconsistent input lag with an XSX controller. Something about it not correctly reporting its polling rate over BT. Switching to the dongle fixed it.

Glad yours works, but not everyone is so lucky.

They have three categories: “biological woman,” which is a fertile cis woman with XX chromosomes and a vulva; “biological man,” which is a fertile or formerly fertile cis man with XY chromosomes; and undesirables, who are everyone else and are referred to by whichever terminology is convenient for them at any given point.

Check your local library! Mine has one.

The best dash cam setups are three cameras: one front, one rear, one inside. That way, you get maximum information.

My first thought was car dependency. If it’s a 20-minute detour or 45-minute dedicated round trip to stop by the library, you probably don’t go that often. I read a lot as a kid, but I only went to the library maybe every other week. I distinctly remember the limit being 99 books (libraries are mostly run by counties here, so there are a lot of different sets of rules). I never ran into it, but I checked out dozens of books a few times.

IME, it’s very easy to get call recorders on the Play Store, but most of them don’t work.

Two things can be wrong. We can (and should) dispose of landlords and build more housing.

If you quit, can you recommend me to replace you? I’ll take any remote job, and I can put up with annoying coworkers.

I’m actually half serious. 7 YoE in web dev, mostly backend.

Younger consumers seem to very disproportionately favor small studios and individual creators with actors who at least pretend to be enjoying themselves, so I think things are likely getting better, if maybe slowly.
