It gives the boomers another chance to solidify their legacy as the worst generation in human history. In a way that helps all of us.

Not having the touchpads is a big downside, but this still fills a huge niche that the others dont. My Xbox elite controller is cool and all, but has neither a gyro nor capacitive joysticks. My dualsense has a gyro, but no capacitive touch so I need to activate it with a button hold or leave it always on.

The Xbox and PS5 controller also don’t treat the paddles as independent buttons by default, so you need an extra layer of software on PC that allows mapping those buttons to arbitrary inputs. Steam Input can overwrite this sometimes, but it’s very inconsistent on a game + hardware basis. The companion app is a concerning “feature”. Hopefully it’s just marketing trying to make up a fancy phrase for “hardware driver”.

“Give up hope now before the pain of existence rips it away. Oh, also eat healthy, and do some light exercise daily that stuff is important too.”

This community allows blogposting? What’s the joke - randoms on the internet are assholes? Not a very strong punchline.

WWIII: Special Military Operation still going on. WWIII: Religious Extremism expansion pack just dropped. COVID: 2: Electric Boogaloo in some areas. Election year in like 4+ major countries. Multiple major entertainment failures across the board in multiple entertainment sectors. And major scandals to boot, most notably a massive media icon’s fall from grace via nice and friendly things like coercion, conspiracy to murder, human trafficking, etc.

Gee Kotaku idk. You would think a Japanese corporation’s failure and loss of revenue would be more important to American media outlets during an election year. Crazy how that managed to slip through the cracks.

Add a new currency called the buck which represents 1000 dollars. Over the next~200 years of inflation abolish the cent as a fraction of a dollar. When you reach a breaking point again, reintroduce a cent as a bill that represents 1000 bucks. Rinse and repeat every new inflationary super cycle.

Intel QA failing to audit third party suppliers properly is Intel’s fault.

Oh boy! I’m so excited to wait months for an update to a buggy mess for the update to simply adds a new texture for cans of beans and a new style of jeans.

Circles are good at math, but what to do if you not have circle shape? Easy, redefine problem until you have numbers that look like the numbers the circle shape uses. Now we can use circle math on and solve problems about non-circles!

To vastly oversimplify how genetics and embryonic development works, the “default” for humans is female and men have genetic codes that overwrites these defaults during fetal development. To put it more bluntly, males have extra code which females lack.

That could explain why sperm+sperm could theoretically work using a stem cell as a mediator to remove the excess code, while egg+egg can’t do the same because you’d need to manually scribe the extra genes directly.

You don’t need to do either. Qbits are still bounded by the laws of computation, and the planck supercomputers as described are already perfect computers with infinite bits since they can check a password of any length in a single Planck second of operation. There’s no speed advantage when going from an infinite number of things with unique states to a single thing with infinite states.

I mean yeah, technically lol. Lmao even. Perhaps a rofl is in order? Changing the terms of the deal when you have an effective monopoly is a powerful tool when combined with access journalism it seems.

Having ownership of something also implicitly gives you the right to sell that thing. Unless 23andMe explicitly stated in the contract that they were under obligated to never share that information. I highly doubt the had anything like that in the contract because, well, here we are.

Also, 23andMe afaik is not a medical association, so they likely aren’t bound by things like HIPPA (idk if specific genetic encodings would be included in that anyways) to protect information.

Economics is essentially string theory

Jesus tap-dancing christ dude, what did physicists do to you that cause you to hate them so much that you berate them down to a mere economist’s level?

Not necessarily, it could be a scripted cutscene to introduce the second act and give you time to swap disks.

“They found the smart TVs did not appear to upload any screenshots or audio data when streaming from Netflix or other third-party apps, mirroring YouTube content streamed on a separate phone or laptop or when sitting idle. But the smart TVs did upload snapshots when showing broadcasts from the TV antenna or content from an HDMI-connected device.”

The world is owned by a big club, and you’re not in it.

Why not just pee in the toilet? Why pee on the toilet and then cover that spot with a sticker? This is why people hate public bathrooms. This snail raises many questions.

You can’t just go out and buy a perpetual license for any random thing you purchase.

Q1: Assume the blue wind is blowing at an average rate of 12m/s, at a heading of due South. An angel with a mass of 3000kg is heading towards Tokyo and has a heading of 14 degrees north of due West. It has a maximums thrust of 400kps and is 2 miles from the city. How long can Shinji reasonably avoid getting in the robot, keeping the door to his heart shut, if we are to assume the angel has an attack range of 100m? What about an attack range of 300m? Assume the angel can destroy 4% of Tokyo per minute of it’s attack. A city survival rate of 70% is required.

Q2: Assume Shinji is too much of a bitch to get in the robot. A backup pilot is available on hand, but has suffered severe injuries. She will operate with a combat effectivness of 40%. A second backup is available, but needs to be imported from Germany. Which pilot would you choose in place of Shinji for the best chance of victory and why?

Because people assume that only men can transition so they ignore the fact that F->M transitions don’t rely on estrogen? That’s the best I got.
