@DanielHoffmann_ It's very very good for gen1. Mostly I think they should take things away and simplify (and switch to OLED screen) for gen2.

@wilshipley e.g. https://t.co/FIUNe9u6Nj

@wilshipley all games *are* PC games, the moment that Microsoft and Sony switched to x86 / AMD architectures in the XBone / PS4 generations.. and good riddance to the weird PS2/PS3 architectures in particular. Whoo boy, you don't want anyone at Sony HQ to ever hear "we should build a CPU!"

One thing I've learned is that fully linear keyboards feel really nasty to me for some reason .. that horrible feeling of pressing the keys and bottoming out with no tactile bump in between.. https://t.co/eHfsFfELJN

@Hanzo55 what movie is it?

careful: I'm seeing quite a few movies here that really stretch the boundaries of "most people have not seen". I appreciate the recommendations, but it's supposed to be obscure movies off the beaten path. Brazil, for example, is a *fantastic* movie but quite well known!

@bootrino I feel like a lot of people have seen this one.. doesn't quite meet the criteria?

@spenmoneyfast This is definitely a sleeper win

@johnnygf C'mon. Who HAS NOT seen this?! Doesn't meet the criteria!

@michael_mardahl I wanted to like this .. but.. man.. I came out of it thinking "wow, I truly understand why movies are never filmed in first person perspective now"

It’s not an addiction, because I can stop whenever I want! https://t.co/0yXp7Cq8Rx

@jensjonsson yes! I played this and couldn't believe how good it was. Wayy back in the day.

@taw_moto Magnets I think

The govee one with the fisheye camera that dynamically matches backlight edge color with the edges of the image works IMO surprisingly well https://t.co/vsPUJfb8no

I have seen the future, and it is.. icons on a background. https://t.co/htJbNEoBWZ

@mikemackintosh I had forgotten this game existed, but definitely played it..

@boztank woo! Strappin' smartphones to your face has never been cooler! 👍

It's been a while, but time for some Phreaking https://t.co/CanXZ269am https://t.co/wptGwG3TLS

@TWolverson @discourse 😂

@GroundedRaptor it's so good!

Look on the bright side.. I get to use my own @discourse software to report the error (that topic does sound like *exactly* what I'm experiencing) https://t.co/W1yTClvUXO

Maybe I'll try finishing Gears of War.. sure! Or.. not. https://t.co/IyzoeuBNTr

Well, it sort of works. Whatever. I guess I have better things to do.

Updated video drivers and rebooted.. same result.. even starting a new campaign immediately crashes, so it's not the save file. Multiplayer works! Oh wait. This happens. I can play with an error dialog in the middle of the screen. Very consistent with all my Xbox One experience https://t.co/qYtwp5SFo8

You could argue maybe Al's biggest legacy is the *idea* of the Dick Tracy communicator watch? https://t.co/3lLdyoOXwU

Wow. Eventually upgraded to "Wrist Geenee" (1997) and "Wrist Wizard" (2011). https://t.co/35D2SQ73yz

Well, at least this part of the game will be extra extra satisfying https://t.co/HMO61hnR6H

@striche @Crypth it's.. some protection but kinda like saying smoking will protect you from Parkinsons (google it). It's not a great habit to get into.

@Tronetti with NFC they are more practical with phones. Or USB-C, but Apple has that lightning thing going on..

@zengra you don't really need to know much about the person to get it to work, though -- phone companies hand SIMs out like candy to almost anyone who asks.

@benjaminmetzler barely.. that's like saying closing your front door is better than leaving it open, versus locking it.

@TheDoctorBlue it is better than nothing but not much more, because phone companies hand out SIMs to anyone who asks like candy

"For most of the years since he built his first “Pribot,” Levandowski says, it’s felt as though he and his competitors were 90% of the way to full-blown robot cars" .. may I refer you to https://t.co/v4eBuGX75e

"Our driverless future is starting to look so distant that even some of its most fervent believers have turned apostate." https://t.co/2uYocALQ1g

Also.. super chonk GPUs. Top is 4090 as delivered by Nvidia, some of the aftermarket 4090s are even bigger. Basically unless you have a 3090 now, you better bust out a measuring tape to determine if you can fit the 4090 in your case! https://t.co/tP69XnbWlR

@lizardbill without looking, compression. How much does it compress uzing zip?

@JohnONolan @robbyrussell @Ghost Subdirectory is a GIANT PAIN IN THE ASS to set up, for the record. Far more technically complex.

@burgerbecky @AlanSilvey there is no "high speed" hard drive.. only SSD and everything else!

So apparently this is a trope now? https://t.co/Nl4faXkhwU

@_paulstewart I'm not really blaming the author, it's hard to source everything you come across on the internet..

@fashy I disagree; I think it was a bad idea enabled by "because we can".. detect amount of pressure used

@Carnage4Life I think of it more as The Onion of water https://t.co/vwQxzB2sRP

@Steve_Yegge good news! This feels like an excellent fit! 🙌

I didn't realize there was a short documentary about this. Imagine not speaking to another human for 27 years. https://t.co/oLa8FKYDF6

@Hanzo55 what are the other 9 games?

@Carnage4Life https://t.co/jLi2JVVlds

@betsyphd @burtonachitect simply blimp..y

@ryanfalor I definitely had a busted model at first. I've had literally zero torque problems with the replacement.

Compare with 2019's Modern Warfare https://t.co/x9ANlUB42a

Here's what used to be "amazing graphics" https://t.co/7R9A049VU0

Update: the replacement works perfectly. Zero overtorque errors. I can't overstate how much quieter the version 4 is (when in motion) over the version 3. It's practically a whisper compared to the older model.

@textfiles urgh it's sooo hard to go back to 1-bit.

And this one is alive! https://t.co/7q0Efry3Rq

@m_adduci I said *good* hardware

@tenderlove My son and I did not find it enjoyable at all

@kylebrussell @BrendanEich wow, and it works too! https://t.co/Pke23ZqeLQ

@PeterLaCombJr Neither Windows nor OS X is "simple".. I'd argue iOS and Android aren't any more, either.

eh, looks like ChromeOS Flex won't support ARM (?!) so my dream of the best hardware (M1/M2) paired with the best operating system (ChromeOS) will have to be deferred. 😢 https://t.co/tOplYW7Ger

@summitonthemoon it doesn't make sense, GPUs are different specialized task cores, CPUs are general purpose cores. One of these things is not like the other! Modern CPU design even has "performance" cores vs. "efficiency" cores..

@wackie are they really that much faster than a 5950x (16c/32t) system? those aren't too expensive to build even with 128gb RAM.

Still going! https://t.co/7vTsGVXYbX

@sh4na we gotta come up with something better than "strap smartphone to face". That status quo is .. never going to provide an enjoyable experience for most people IMO

but what's criminally underrated is the 2015 open world videogame. Highly recommended. https://t.co/ooRCCW9UT6

grease theft is .. still a thing: https://t.co/BXKfCPSxbO

@sh4na It all hints at the weak technical underpinnings of "strap a smartphone to your face". We need to be able to project directly into the eye.

Apparently joysticks are now considered "boomer" input devices because you lose too many frames in the time it takes to physically move the joystick to trigger the switch? 🤔 https://t.co/hecf9Vf9T4

Amazing how much effort and thought goes into modern fighting games https://t.co/rEgQVGdAhU -- https://t.co/hvpVa2Gsnl

@dysphoria_net there's an interesting parallel with graffiti here

@charlesarthur I used to buy every Surface Pro up until 8 or so. Now I just get chromebooks, and the best chromebook is the one with the M1 chip inside by definition.

mostly I just don't need the complexity of OS X, and .. Chrome OS has gotten *ridiculously* good in the last decade. But per watt, nobody's hardware is better than Apple's. It's not even close.

@davidlee https://t.co/ZdZq5U9Fs2 gotta pick the path that scares you a little

@lizardbill @emilynussbaum oh no, you must go back, it's really quite an incredible and unique show; the more I watched the more I liked it.

@FailSeqProc @_rakshith_ravi_ it can be subtle, sometimes too subtle to justify the often immense performance cost. We'll see if the 4000 series changes that!
