That and unless something has changed, they only ask for that cut when the user signs up through the Roku interface. They are providing the platform for discovery and access exactly like Apple. What’s not like Apple in any way, is the fact that you can (and most often will) buy the service outside their platform and…

Well, their viewpoint is that without their hardware and support these companies wouldn’t be making money as easy. Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo develop their hardware and platform to sell their content. It’s a similar viewpoint, really.

Whats truly annoying is that this story glosses over how incredibly complicated the power grid truly is. Add to that renewable energy that is anything but reliable, and you get utter chaos.

Closing CA’s nuclear facilities sure doesn’t help.

They’re blocking Epic’s developer tools, meaning that Epic will not be able to do any further development for UE on apple systems.

Skip the seawall and build self contained gravity failsafe units like the ones from NuPower. Then you don’t have to worry about the seawall cracking, engineers leaving things set poorly, or whatever applicableb of Murphy we haven’t thought of yet, and since they are self contained we can put them in low risk places. 

The process produces tons of highly radioactive waste, the ingredients to create nuclear weapons, potential instability that could lead to a destructive nuclear meltdown, and other concerning issues.

I’m pretty sure that the number of people who need more than 128GB is minuscule these days. It’s not exactly a negative that actually impacts that many people.

Seems like it could be valuable, though my understanding is the main reason you have diesel electric trains is that it’s easier to use electric motors powered by diesel generators than it is to build a mechanical transmission for the diesels to drive the wheels directly, which isn’t an issue at truck scale.

What gets me though is that there is literally no chance of actually getting the photo right. This isn’t depixellating photos, it’s turning a bunch of pixels into something that looks like a person. I’d like to see it run on a pixellated cartoon character, or a pixellated pet. The headline here is really not correct

My theory:

So I was looking, and the original TIE Fighter game had 76(!) missions. Given that this thing looks like they’re going to do full cutscenes between every mission, I think we can expect maybe... 10 missions here? 15 if we’re lucky.

Oddly enough, my old Microsoft Sidewinder still works. Dragged it out of the closet when GOG started selling Tie Fighter and was so happy I could still use it.

I wonder how much of the Empire’s atrocities are known to the general public and the soldiers. It doesn’t seem like much. Han Solo was willing to join up, wear the uniform, and be a pilot.

If he hadn’t gotten himself in trouble, he might have ended up being one of the wingmen in the Death Star trench instead of the…

All I look for in a Star Wars space combat game is the ability to take my small craft and slowly pick apart a giant warship until it finally explodes.

I’d say that the story of Thor is average, but the visuals (especially the visuals of Asgard) are fucking awesome. The only weird bits of direction are Branagh’s overuse of dutch angles.

To use this analogy.

Well, there’s three levels of ‘fix’ for this pipe:

Problem is we half assed the lockdowns. If you do them right like China or Italy did and wait until cases are negligible, then you can actually reopen and get back to business. If you only wait until the exponential increase stops, you go right back to exponential increase as soon as you reopen.
