Hard to find on non-pc gear, but that’s a fair point

Sounds like hdmi Forum are a bunch of twats. Time for a new format.

Homeschooling is child abuse, in the majority of cases. Kids need to interact with other kids, and be taught by people who are trained to do it effectively with curriculum that isn’t based on the invisible man in the sky’s alleged preferences.

Literally the only property of Eidos that I care about, and it was bad enough that the studio wasted so much time on that garbage avengers game rather than finish the deus ex story they left hanging.

The graphical user interface.

They don’t invent it (xerox PARC did), but Apple correctly identified that the user experience of existing computer systems was holding it back from being a thing everyone owns, and made computers a bad fit for many types of work that seem extremely obvious now (digital media creation particularly)

They did this more or less again with the smartphone: business folks and super nerds were the smartphone market before Apple. Now it’s the average person’s computer.

Maybe it’s because cars suck now: filled with spyware, massively complex systems that aren’t better at doing car things than similar systems in the 90s, and with a price tag that considers this garbage as worth something to the consumer.

We didn’t need any more supporting data to cement “cleaning out the holodecks” as the worst job in starfleet

Give it 5 years and the board is going to have the “I told you so” of a generation

Moving too dumb. Something caused Microsoft to ban OpenAI for its employees last week, probably a massive security blunder that we hopefully get to find out about eventually.

Upsides:

• side quests other than the radiant ones are mostly cool so far
• stealth archer isn’t so good that you can just play that way straight out, but the tree makes it looks eventually strong
• zero g combat in a derelict space station was cool. I hope there’s more of that
• base building seems fine, I’m not sure what it’s for, but it seems fine

Downsides:

• ship stuff feels bad. I don’t care about fast travel, but it’s just about the weakest ship-to-ship combat that I’ve played. Its early yet, though. Boarding a ship was cool at least.
• combat AI is not good. Enemies never seem to take any initiative, they mostly just crouch behind wherever you found them
• the setting has no… flavor? The factions feel like fallout analogues but without fun or verve. Maybe I just haven’t found the weird shit yet, but I’m not optimistic.

There is a whole lot of sky, my dude. I don’t think it’s plausible that we could capture even 1% of the kinetic energy of wind currents if we wanted to.

But also, wind is ultimately solar energy: the sun heats up parts of the planet at a time, the temperature differences cause pressure differences, and pressure flows from high to low. If we could somehow capture most of that kinetic energy, the result would be that areas which heat up stay warmer, and areas which don’t heat up as much stay cooler.

But we’re talking about gravity-bound gases, here. If we tried to capture too much, the gases would just find an easier route to equalize, such as going above our turbine network.

I had my policy canceled for having a 15 year old roof, no heads up or chance to remediate any actual issues. Insurance companies are just dicking Californians because they hate being regulated.
