the whole point of a truck is to get shit done.

this truck destroys itself if you try to get shit done with it.

how they fucked up so badly, i have no idea.

i play games online, and wireless is prone to jitter and lag spikes.

you don’t notice these things when browsing the web, streaming movies, or even downloading large games. but in multiplayer games it’s a problem

i have gigabit fiber in my neighborhood though, so i’m not being forced to choose between shitty cable and compromised wireless

i’m a millennial, my dad just barely turned 60

i want to see new characters do new things

i would think continually rehashing characters from the ‘60s is a move meant to appeal to people in their 60s.

i’m much more interested in the Star Trek: Legacy pitch, but even then i want them to keep legacy characters limited to guest appearances so that the new crew has a chance to stand on its own.

i like paul wesley but we do not need a TOS remake

• Beeper can be self-hosted if you have a Mac, so you don't have to trust their servers
• Sunbird's app (Nothing Chat) was riddled with its own security vulnerabilities that allowed users to read other users messages, which were all stored as unencrypted plaintext, all discovered by the community within 24 hours of launch
• Beeper is actually open about how their technology works and what it's limitations are, while Sunbird/Nothing basically lied about their product and never provided any meaningful documentation

LG doesn't do this. They also have the good sense to allow firmware updates via USB. Which is great, because turning on WiFi long enough to install an update fills the home screen with junk.

Having worked in this field, I can tell you how it usually operates: You want the most data for the least amount of investment. As soon as your operational costs start to eat into your already thin margins, the equation falls apart.

Complex solutions designed to capture data from that 1-3% of users who actively avoid it end up costing a lot more money than their data is actually worth. In order to make this particular solution work, you need to make enough money selling whatever tiny amount of data you get from those 1-3% of users to cover the cost of putting a cellular modem in all of your TVs plus the ongoing cost of paying various regional cellular networks to deliver that data to you. You are likely tripling or quadrupling the total cost of your data collection operation and all you have to show for it is a rounding error. And that is before we factor in the fact that these users likely aren't using the built in streaming apps, so the quality of the data you get from them is below average.

They aren't very good though. They are durable, but usually expensive and missing a lot of features you might actually want for that price tag. For example, I've yet to find any OLED "commercial displays" that support Dolby Vision, VRR, and eARC.

It's way cheaper and easier to just buy the TV you want and not connect it to your wifi.

Might still be a little too intense if Luigi’s Mansion is your starting point, but Bendy and the Ink Machine is basically a mix of Bioshock and Amnesia but for kids. It has a great 1930s cartoon aesthetic.

There is a fixed amount of Bitcoin.

That is part of the problem. As long as the economy grows, then Bitcoin is deflationary. This encourages people who have it to hoard it, rather than to move it around and drive the economy. It is almost perfectly designed to be used as a speculative investment rather than an actual day-to-day currency.

Having a fixed pool of money to represent your economy only makes sense if the total value of the economy will never change. This doesn't happen in the real world. Populations grow, new technologies add value, and poverty generally goes down. This is all fairly simple math.

Feature parity is not a requirement for Deck verification, Larian simply disabled split screen on the platform and called it a day.

Microsoft requires feature parity between Series X and S versions of the same game. If you want to support split screen on Series X then you must support it on Series S as well.

Microsoft doesn't control the standard, and the entire rest of the industry has no reason to ban non-Windows operating systems.

Widnows doesn't have the stranglehold over the market that it once did.
