I guess I just don’t understand this: “but when it comes to work productivity I haven’t used anything this good since the old days of Blackberry”

I’m failing to see the draw....it’s a device with less features and raw power than a Galaxy Fold, while simultaneously not having anything noteworthy (like a foldable screen) to justify its $1500 price...maybe by the time the Duo 5 or 6 comes out it’ll be worthy of its price...

Fortunately iOS has adblockers!  Never browse Gizmodo without an adblocker :) 

Man...it’d be a dream if my wife did housework...

I’ve never met anyone in my life who would just eat a peach like an apple, skin and all...

Wow...so lifehacker is now reduced to buzzfeed style slideshows ripped off random twitter polls...jesus christ...

I’d love any new alien race that is _actually_ different. All the existing ones have the same “classes” and similar functionality between them bar a few minor differences (like cabal sword guys having jetpacks while hive sword guys have shields).

Yeah...definitely not for me. The dialogue and themes in that snippet were more on the level of “saturday morning cartoon” than they were with Dune. “Ehehehe we’ll hide the secret attack ship onboard to ATTACK EHEHEHE” is the gist of that Harkonnen panel.

Most coins are divisible into millionths (or even lower) of a coin (making fractional shares pointless).

I mean that’s an extremely shallow view of crypto as a whole. Most cryptocurrencies these days aren’t _just_ a currency. Ethereum operates as a distributed compute platform. Right now there’s hundreds of second layer crypto built on top of it offering overcollateralized lending, no-loss lotteries, and of course NFTs…

To play devil’s advocate here...he sounds exactly like every 90s expert calling the internet a useless passing fad...

That would be ripe for abuse, but I could see Valve providing a model that tracks playtime and uses some average (or something smarter) to pick a refund time between 30 mins and 2 hours or something like that.

Hey, I love these slideshows.

Starlink latency right now is about 35 ms. Definitely fast enough for just about everything short of twitch shooters

But this is more akin to naming that character Super Koopa Bro and expecting Nintendo to be ok with it...

> For me though, the lack of a built-in keyboard isn’t great, as the first thing I’d do would be to get rid of SteamOS and install Windows on it (so I can play my whole library and also non-Steam games)

I think the main purpose of supporting 4K would be
1. All system UIs can be rendered in 4K (as well as non-videogame content) increasing crispness and ease of use.

Maybe get glasses? The difference is pretty astounding unless your TV is under 32 inches

I’m willing to bet the Oculus Quests are being sold at a loss and this was always the plan (just like gaming consoles being sold at a loss to make back money on the games)
