A lot of that hype was gamers and the media making shit up to have something to talk about. There wasn’t much material released, and there was some typical puffery from the c-suite types. And then a bunch of people playing speculation games and blowing shit out of proportion.

It’s a solid way to launder money, just like fine art, but you don’t have to find a piece of fine art and buy it from someone who cares about fine art nor be inconvenienced about a history of sales that don’t seem to justify current pricing. You just slap together a doge meme and declare it sold for hundreds of…

Yup, and concept 2 just did a refresh and brought their prices back down. Mine’s still going strong after ~20 years. 

I was testing vs gigapixel for someone who asked for a comparison. At least with images that have text, super resolution kicks gigapixels butt. Not becuase it is amazing, but more so because gigapixel is pathologically bad with the text. It does win (IMO) on pretty much everything else.

And that’s fine, just so long as you don’t equate your experience doing that with what the maker of the original work was trying to do. 

Seriously. I’m not getting out to theaters anytime soon. That’s not even a Covid thing, that’s just a current lifestyle thing. You aren’t getting my $15 at the theaters, but if the content is right on HBO Max they will get my $15 streaming. As a service, it’s on the bubble. It just doesn’t have enough new content to…

Teams is mostly ok, and for a number of video functions it outclasses slack and discord by a wide margin. It really needs a few things. One is to end the death by whitespace, the UI is awful at wasting screen real estate and doing so makes osme things more confusing. Another is the clutter that arises from every…

Yes, it is not the same without the same shared emotional response of 15 shmucks in the audience dicking around with their phone and any given moment in time.

There is nothing to overcome, cloud gaming will always be worse, at least for single player. Local single player has computational latency + input latency + display latency. cloud gaming has network latency + remote computational latency + local computational latency + input latency + display latency. Unless you can…

They sold 4.5 million of them. There’s just WAY more people than that that want one. 

That video needs some explaining, because it appears to mostly show nothing except in some bits where it seems to show the turbulence from an air curtain. Which has nothing to do with leaking refrigerant. 

So really the advice is to not wear masks that fit like shit, not to double mask.

I’m getting the feeling that these covid-19 related studies are kind of like full body scans. If you go for anyone with covid-19, the infected population is so broad you can probably find examples of all sorts of oddities. If you go with those who got really sick, odds are they had complicating factors and weird…

Merging RAM and jeep is bad. They are both brands that are moving vehicles and making money while having a set of ongoing models with a meaningful roadmap into the future. Unlike fiat, dodge, Chrysler, etc.

I just went digging through this because to my recollection of the last time it cropped up, it sounded like someone upset that hollywood is hollywood and that making movies can be unfun and require you to deal with people who are egotistical assholes on the regular.

Hopefully that’s not how you remove the battery and is just a cheap way to get vent holes in there plus where they put the lock to release the battery.

I’ve been reading moon knight off and on since back in the 80s when it debuted. While a lot of the news about the series isn’t bad per se, I’m a bit concerned about disney+’s kind of vanilla pg-13 aesthetic. The best of moon knight has been violent, weird, disturbing, or some combination thereof and seems kind of out…

They try to avoid it. They seem to not grasp it’s like having a job and that a school address should be used for your schooling. 

If your school doesn’t participate, you won’t be verifiable. But the reality is that your school likely participates and simply hands them a pile of data regularly in exchange for some cash.

The pad doesn’t reduce latency. You can get that with the mouse alone, just remember to plug it in. This is aniche product for people who like gadgets who own the mouse and would rather just leave it on the desk and have a fixed routed cable that doesn’t interfere or look ugly.
