Sure, but to play devil's advocate: ..."until I want to do something that the default Apple behavior does not do." To oversimplify, it's like saying "you can do these 10 things and they're guaranteed to work". On some…
For me it was more about the mismatch between what my eyes saw and what my inner ear felt. Running around in first person while sitting or standing in a room took some real getting used to. But cockpit games or mostly…
Yep. I wanted a decent sized OLED with good image quality. Couldn't find anything remotely like what I was looking for in a commercial option, so I said screw it, cashed out some credit card rewards, and bought a…
> Replacing the Google launcher (I used ATV Launcher Pro) was one of the best quality of life upgrades I've ever done, if you haven't already I highly recommend it. I use Projectivy for the same reason. Sucks, because…
Groverhaus for the modern age?
I'd be hesitant to install software from a gas station (or most any retailer, really) on any device I own.
Not to minimize Meta's push for these things, but there have been devices that do this for quite a while now. You can get tiny cameras hidden in pens, watches, glasses, and all sorts of other items. It's just that in…
Surprised it hasn't been closed already. Sometime back before I left entirely in 2017, I tried making an account that wasn't tied to my real name, email, phone number, etc. and after a few days they asked for proof of…
Yeeeap. Was thinking about that and the Matrix mostly.
Not sure it's possible to say this without being pithy, but haven't there been stories told, perhaps TV episodes and films made, regarding the concept of using human bodies to generate power in support of machine…
I always wondered if "Lightspeed Briefs" was a pun on the "FTL" abbreviation that Fruit of the Loom used at the time (no idea if they still do).
Good thing that could never be used as a "death ray".

And then (at least around here) they often make you scan a QR code in order to see the menu. It's often not a direct link to the menu, but rather a third party site or a link shortener that tracks traffic for marketing…
Oh yeah, it was awful by then. At my store you made essentially minimum wage plus a sort of commission for addons/upsales (as long as they were over a certain percentage of your total sales) and flat bonuses for new…
Can confirm. Finally got the GPU for my new PC in 2020 by (first) showing up at Microcenter on days when deliveries were expected, then eventually joining a discord where people posted daily updates when stock actually…
The person in question published it openly on the internet (Twitter). Not gonna bother digging up the proof again because it's been widely reported and not denied - just minimized as some cheeky edgelord humor.
Not to be too pedantic, but aren't those typically being purchased under some other license that doesn't apply to you (bulk, oem, cheaper country, etc) and then resold in violation of the licensing terms? And that's…
And (sadly in my case) Paypal. In 2020/21 I was working from home like many people. I'd been lucky enough to get an RTX3080 for my new computer build and decided to experiment with mining ETH during downtime - it was…
I disable them with a browser addon (and Revanced on mobile) because I seriously never want to watch a 30 second video on Youtube. Having to scroll past useless snippets when I'm looking for something had…
As much as I would love this (not interested in a portable game console, but definitely interested in a new top-of-line set-top-box) I can't imagine this is what's been holding nVidia back on a Shield refresh. If…
Maybe it was all the people who'd followed the same navigation.
I've got far from perfect pitch, but I can relate. In high school (mid 90's) I took up guitar and figured out that I could use (the memory of) the intro to "November Rain" by Guns N' Roses as a way to mentally get an…

I'm a little surprised that with the current state of electronics and machine learning there hasn't been (as far as I'm aware) a resurgence of similar toy robots - a sort of updated Omnibot as it were. I remember…
