So glad she's back, and that she's happier now. Just such a nice positive influence to hang out with, whether on a second screen or on your main one.

It's kind of fun that she has to/tries to pretend she is a new streamer, lol.

It also breaks other stuff like being able to output video to portable video glasses. A relatively niche use now, but something that will pick up considerably over the life of the console.

Having a floating 4k screen that you can put anywhere at any size is pretty nice. Don't have to look down at your hands or hold the system up to a comfortable eye line.

I do hope that at some point they open it up a bit more. And maybe only exclude stuff that would damage the system, which is ostensibly the -given- reason for locking it down. While of course, the real reason is likely a licensing opportunity.

I do still buy their stuff. But it has been more and more often lately that I buy it and then feel ok about emulating it to add in stuff like 4k 120 fps or VR/stereoscopic or whatever.

Wait... I see these all the time... is it maybe just a Canada thing?

That's more late 90's sports car. But it is at least closer, hehe.

Yeah, what I really want is a little electric late 80's/early 90's sports car. With modern safety features. I don't care if it doesn't have insane range, I drive less than 5000 km a year. I miss the look of that era of sports cars. It doesn't -need- to have pop-up headlights, but think of how much more responsive and useful they could be now.

My current car is a mark 3 supra, even if I could convert it to electric, the safety features are also pretty outdated.

They wouldn't be using the naked eye to spot the balloons. While I certainly am on the skeptical side that this happened. It is closer to being plausible than it originally seems. There are just some suspect details.

Yeah, even "powerless" narcissists need someone to feed their ego, and will eventually turn on that person and need a new one.

It's just worse when the narcissist has power.

Yeah, that is actually one of the other points people sometimes use to refute the atom bombs being a war crime. That they didn't kill as many civilians as firebombs or carpet bombing... I know you aren't, just brought it to mind. But yeah, that only makes those other types of bombs also war crimes. Hehe.

Does he not know that using the atom bombs to kill civilians was kind of considered a bit of a no-no?

The justification that "it ended the war early, actually 'saving' lives" is moot, killing civilians to save soldiers, is pretty much strongly considered the opposite of the point. It is a war crime.

Not having been charged with it, isn't something you want to go poking at. Everyone has kind of loosely agreed to leave it in the past. But that doesn't have to stay the case if you make people upset enough like that.

I guess we better get ready for some SLAMing.

I would say, instead of trying to 100% switch over, instead dip a toe in. Dual boot, or run a seperate system as linux first. Slowly grow into it, and then if in a few years, it feels feasible, put it on as your main and have your windows system as the back up. Then maybe eventually you won't need/want a back up at some point.

 

I assume they are two separate patents by two separate companies, but once those are both on the same can opener, there will be no reason to buy any other manual can opener. So when is the first one expiring?
