100%. There’s not even anything that great about them. There’s no world in which a person is forced to own a Tesla.

Why is it okay to hype products made by actual, literal Nazis? What the fuck is wrong with us?

“Can’t trust anyone these days” makes it sound like Meta isn’t the absolute first entity you shouldn’t trust under any circumstances.

Yeah if it was $60-70 then I’d be hesitant but at $40 it’s like two tickets to a movie. And it’s certainly better than a lot of Hellraiser movies. The visualization of the Labyrinth is stunning.

And the new game. Mechanics are okay but the aesthetics and styling are on point. Plus, Doug Bradley!

I see you’re not familiar with Hellraiser. It’s gonna be more like “flayed tiddies dangling from the ceiling on metal hooks”. Sorry to burst your bubble.

A Klan

In case people care, the maker of Boox devices flagrantly violates GPL license terms, basically stealing and profiting from open source code.

Edit: thread with details

Love my Supernote. One of the objects in my life that as soon as it breaks, I’m immediately buying a new one (or in the case of the newest model, replacement parts).

I love you for posting this. It’s one of my favorite things ever. Also great: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3fHl9bxVT58

Cut back on fiber.

I mean this is actually a pretty solid shitpost. Are people actually taking the bait?

Spies on you

Honestly in this day and age I expected it to be the torment nexus tweet.

I’m sure the “are you a teen?” enforcement is really gonna hammer that nail in, too.

The agreement is only as good as the hospital’s vetting, so I may be a little optimistic after seeing a very thorough and protracted process on my side. If you work for a healthcare system that’s okay with Beacon and Oracle, then it may be time to evaluate whether they’re a good healthcare system to work for.

Medical AI has guardrails out the wazoo. By the time it’s made available to a physician, it’s probably been reviewed by a council, vetted by IT, and negotiated heavily by Legal. If the data leaves the premises, it’ll be thoroughly protected and isolated.

That said, fuck AI. I’d give up medical transcription to get the environment, economy, and sanity back. Musk’s data center is running dozens of natural gas turbines in a low-income, primarily Black neighborhood 11 miles down the road from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. It’s positively ghoulish.

Yeah, unfortunately the PS3 and the Xbox 360 were some pretty notoriously weird hardware. The PS3 especially. They’ll take a minute before they’re fully and effectively emulated.

I think we’re in for some interesting times the way recompilation projects have been going. There are mods to play Metroid Prime and BotW in VR. A dual screen mod is certainly not out of the picture, though even compared to the VR user base, the dual screen SBC handheld space is tiny.

That’s fair. I don’t feel a strong need to emulate Switch and beyond, but maybe the next generation of handhelds will include that anyway. By the time you get to the latest couple generations, everything that isn’t just available on Steam is partially online or otherwise obnoxious garbage.
