It is a huge inconvenience if your TV - or receiver - is in an area where rewiring it regularly is difficult to do. For example, I’ve got a serious surround sound console gaming setup with every single HDMI input and speaker output being used. Squeezing back there to mess around with cables is the last thing on earth…

You seem to not be aware of the full extent of the issue, which is odd, because this is a very well-known problem. The box splits between the PSVR and the HDTV. With that box in place, even non-PSVR games will not have working HDR when outputting to my HDTV. That is to say, if I pop FFXV in my PS4 and happen to have a…

The box that sits between your PS4 and the TV / PSVR strips out HDR signals. Your PS4 becomes HDR-incapable. Given the giant image quality boosts you get from HDR, that’s pretty much unacceptable. If they come out with a V2 of PSVR that fixes that problem, I’d be willing to at least think about using it.

Yeah, my cut-off for a “for-fun” drone would be $500, too. Maybe it’ll get there in a few years. I have young kids, so I could see this being good for photography of outdoor sporting events and the like. I bought a cheap drone once upon a time, and I’ve acquired enough taste that I know they’re not worth it for…

The DCI no fly zone is back to 15 miles, thankfully. That’s still a little huge, IMHO, but not insurmountable.

I think it’s less that “VR is a dead end” and more “everyone knows that wired headsets are stupid”. What Sony, Occulus, and HTC are doing vis a vis VR is important for the future of the market, but you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that a solution that tethers you with a cord is going to be…

I, too, am a believer in the “autonomous cars murdered all humans, and are now mimicing them as programmed” theory. The cute, cartoonish world of Cars and Planes probably contains horrific mass graves from the human extermination wars. WHO DO YOU THINK THOSE PLANES WERE AT WAR AGAINST?

Sure. But you cannot incentivize dishonesty in your employees and then step back and tell everyone you’re doing nothing wrong.

Not the same thing. Games typically don’t fail in MetaCritic for reasons outside of the control of the developers, and the aggregation aspect limits the ability of a single review to sink them. The CoL system very much has associates getting screwed because they were in the right place at the wrong time.

First of all, I’m a project manager by trade. I’m very used to holding people accountable for their performance. But the thing is, you can only really hold people accountable for THEIR performance. The GameStop metrics are essentially holding their associates accountable for things that are completely outside their…

Wells-Fargo is a great example, including that what some of these GameStop employees are doing with tacking on extra items unasked-for could be considered fraud. I am not necessarily saying the government should go after GameStop (yet), but they need to take ownership of their mistake and fix it ASAP. In a sane world,…

Totally agree, and I’d go even further. The corporate metrics are the ones driving that misbehavior, which wouldn’t be happening without this scheme to begin with. The whole scheme sounds like something some idiot straight out of B-school dreamed up - “we’ll measure performance based on their metrics, just like we…

Unfortunately for you, most of the single-issue 2A voters voted for Trump, because Hilary was busily telling everyone that she was going to take away any guns deemed “scary” or “military-like”, which is Democrat code for “all of them”. I’m guessing you probably liked that, too, and probably not-so-secretly yearned for…

He is certainly disliked around the DC area more than GWB was, yes. I just think the comparisons to Obama are a little disingenuous due to local factors.

Not to be that guy, but have you considered using RAID or Windows Shared Spaces?

Not to defend Trump here, but the crowds look comparable. I sort of wonder if Gawker didn’t grab a picture from earlier in the day.

I’m a fellow area resident, and my suspicion is that the core reasons turnout isn’t all that hot because he’s not a Democrat, it’s not a historic election of a minority, and it’s supposed to rain. The region surrounding DC is the darkest of blues. You’ve got to figure that people closer by are the ones more likely to…
