That makes total sense lol

I don’t understand this. Why would you take a commonly used vowel off of the home row and put it where you have to shift your whole hand to get to it? What am I missing?
Such as? If you have a reasonably priced OLED dumb tv with HDR and 120FPS up your sleeve you will be my favorite internet friend.
Game consoles.
I wish there were more high quality dumb TVs. Most of the dumb TVs I can find today are both very expensive and lack the features I’m looking for like HDR and 120hz+ frame rates.
I know the argument is that the privacy invasions are subsidizing the cost of the TV but I have yet to see non-anecdotal evidence of that and suspect that the price of the TV would be the same either way because the market will only support so much expense.
I think there’s a very clear and distinctive difference between an upfront, honest cost for a content pack; and breaking that content pack into itty bitty bits and charging for each.
The latter has an obvious goal of obfuscating the total cost of the content pack, so as to inflate it past what their market research indicates people would normally be willing to pay.
It’s dishonest and anti-consumer, and it’s foolish as the consumer not to push back against this practice before it becomes normal.
Fun fact: when you need to resort to hyperbole it’s a good indicator that your position may not have merit.
It’s funny how people will chant “vote with your wallet” but when someone votes against business practices they don’t agree with using their wallet they’re all surprised pikachu about it.
Charging per quest in a micro transaction scheme (which isn’t really micro at a $10 entry fee) is shitty and I don’t want to support it by pumping their gameplay numbers right after announcing it.
Damn, I was just thinking of giving SF another shot. Guess it wasn’t meant to be.
A device that can do all of the things a phone can do without needing to find and install apps, that can learn from your usage patterns in effective and practical ways, and is unobtrusive to wear all the time sounds pretty fucking cool to me.
That is the promised future that AI devices are selling; I thought I was pretty clear that this device was never going to deliver on it.
Tribespeople became so addicted that Marubo leaders, fearing that history and culture — which is passed down orally — could be lost forever, they have now limited access to the internet for two hours each morning, five hours each evening, and all day Sunday.
That is still so much internet, we would probably all be healthier following that guideline.
I think it would be really cool if it worked like they wanted us to believe it would. Like, it could be one of those “change the way we live our day to day lives” events to the like of of smartphones becoming mainstream.
This device was never going to live up to that or get anywhere close to it, but I can’t blame people for really wanting to believe.
This just in: intentionally misrepresenting something has a 100% chance of it being misrepresented.
Let’s try again:
I had a setup that turned on the action camera when I put my thumb on the steam decks left stick, so I was always in normal mode unless I was actively looking around or moving.
It was pretty natural and the best experience I came up with, but I still felt like it was a compromise I was frustrated to have to make.
I set up a pretty workable controller config that I played with for like two months, but even with many hours invested in fine tuning it I just felt like I was fighting the game’s UI and I gave up.
What’s really frustrating is that the game is totally playable with a controller. ANet just needs to update the menus and it would be a fantastic experience.
If we’ve just met, not at all.
If we’ve been best friends for 10 years, that would sting a little.
I’m not blaming you for the state of the world, I’m blaming you for taking your fatalist nonsense and using it to try to bring down others with you.
This attitude is what lets the government and big tech get away with so much bullshit.
“Well it’s happening already so crying about it isn’t going to change anything because you know that protest has never ever been effective even once ever and I kinda like the taste of boot anyways so what’s the big deal?”
Learning to work the clutch and feel the friction zone is a more difficult skill than some want to admit.
Learning to drive a motorcycle was a bit overwhelming, I remember my instructor talking about applying the brakes with right hand and foot while disengaging the clutch with the left hand and downshifting with the left foot… and thinking “how the hell is anyone supposed to keep track of all that!”
I do miss my stick shift though, it was more fun to drive even if less practical.
Fuck them and their philosophically similar but marginally divergent opinions.
