I can see that as a Jalopnik article...

“We gotta stretch this movie out. What can we use for filler?”

I’d wait. There’s SOME difference between the two (just got a 4k TV about three months back) - but not an overwhelming amount. I see little bits of detail in NMS on the 4K w/One X that I’m not seeing on my other Xbox One (not X) attached to the old TV. (Wife’s gotta have her shows in 4k, you know, lol.  I get it when…

It’ll be interesting to see the price point on this. Currently got an XBox One X - very happy with its performance and graphics on NMS. But if they can make it better...

Wow. Just... wow.

AT&T’s got their flaws, but occasionally they get it right. We finally got fiber in our neighborhood - and I jumped on it. $70 a month for 1.8 Gb (according to Fast.com - I was hoping for at least .8 Gb with a 1 Gb service, and so far it’s been great) - without them screwing anything up.

I’m at the point where I’m pretty much convinced that anything that’s promoted to ‘do good’ will not ‘do good’, and will have massive ‘unexpected’ flaws that’ll totally negate any ‘good’ that might come from it.

Think of the WORST possible scenario that could come out of EU meddling.

It’ll cost a lot more than expected, it’ll deliver a lot less protection than expected or promised, and be a lot more inconvenient than even the most pessimistic forecasts.

The early attempts at VR weren’t terribly good. But the Vibe was quite good visually, enough so that I could feel a fair amount of disorientation when taking it off after a fairly long session of VR gaming.

Oh, they’re sustainable... if you’re at the top. Just like for the Nomenklatura in the USSR, as opposed to the normal folk living (if they were lucky) in the Kommunalka.

Yeah - the Star Wars saga is a prime example of that. In ‘78 Mark Hamil, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford were hot actors. (And Carrie Fisher... wow! Ahem.)

Early laptop days, when there was still a fairly wide bezel around the screen.

Thank you. THIS is the sort of fare I like from the Gizmodo group...

IoT? No. I’ll suffer an Alexa or two in the house. And a wireless laser printer.  Couple of XBoxes.  But other devices? Smart switches? Internet enabled appliances? Internet enabled home security systems? Nope.

Except you need to look at the cost of recycling the glass bottles. Loads of gas for transport, cleaning (because you can’t just chuck dirty glass into the melt) grinding, remelting, recasting - there’s a reason they went away from that.

That’s the default condition in Kerbal Space Program... 

Good question.  They used a used first stage, so that cost was pretty darn low.  Cost of the capsule?  IDK.  But, it had to be destroyed anyway so it’s a sunk cost.

Son’s got a 2002 Honda CR-V. I bought it new in 2002, he got it when he went off to college.

Hey, if you’re accusing a company of virtual slavery, you’ve GOT to show the equivalent of galleys with the rowers chained to their benches and starved. (Never mind that’s a Hollywood fiction. They didn’t use slaves, and you don’t get much pull out of someone who’s starving.)
