That it’s not bluetooth (don’t gimme that BLE crap that won’t work with anything) is what sealed its fate.
Xbox controllers are far simpler but then you can hit “pair” on two devices and it just WORKS. you don’t need a special dongle or software overlay or 3 different 3rd party hacks to make it work.

The idea was good, but the execution was poor. Really surprised a 2.0 never came. Some tweaks could have made it good. 

Right? I basically stopped reading right there. Love SK, not enough to support domestic violence.

I just subscribed to CBS All Access for the sole purpose of watching this and HOLY SHIT what a terrible streaming service. No playlists? No ‘continue watching’ section?   Those two things should be the bare minimum on even the cheapest and crappiest services.

Now this *is* confirmed to be a one-season-and-done miniseries, right? They’re not going to attempt to stretch it into an ongoing series like the Under The Dome disaster?

Hmmm. Perhaps I’m too laissez faire, and certainly the actual sensors involved may show a more serious outcome for vehicle occupants, but superficially, those crash tests don’t look nearly as bad as plenty of others I’ve seen. Having lived most of my life driving vehicles *without* side airbags, it’s not as if I…

It’s an 80's Hollywood take on what a 2020 truck would look like.

It doesn’t help one bit that the planet looked like it was shot on some trail out in Tajunga (practically my backyard)

Not exactly on topic, but why do some people obsess over graphics and optimal performance like it’s be all, end all of a video games quality and value? Some of those cyberpunk glitches and the general bugginess is not a great start, but I assume they’ll have a lot of it hammered out in the proceedings weeks and…

I’m guessing the very high-end components, materials and design, along with special audio, are the reasons for the high price tag. Very high-end monitors go for as much or more. But who’s to say how these stack up. We’ll see.

Seriously, I would be ecstatic if I came in and my building had been painted like that. Of course, I live in a town that promotes its murals as a point of civic pride, but the building owners have to pay for their own. No free murals out here.

I think it’s the fact that she’s cosplaying a blond Sarah Palin.

33?  I thought she was pushing 50. Maybe it’s the hair and glasses? Or maybe it’s just the crazy.

Here’s the thing. I don’t think he’s a grinch for being rightly ticked off that his property had been vandalized in some grand scheme. Anyone would be mad about that. I think the WHOLE REASON IT HAPPENED is because he’s a grinch of some sort. You don’t get a goofy message praising communism surreptitiously slapped…

Sounds like a weird and great prank, but that was one hell of an awesome mural.

That’s exactly where I am with these. At $300 I’d definitely buy a pair, at $350 I probably would, and at $400 I’d definitely consider it, but at $550 it’s a hard no.

The fact that I can use HomeKit and not have to talk to it makes it 100x better. Sure, more things may use Alexa or Google Assistant, but i don’t want to fucking talk to my phone. I want to click a button and have everything work. HomeKit allows that and Google would be wise to get on board with the same thing. When I…

I’ve been using homekit for two years now, and had a Homepod for roughly the same time period. Honestly, the homepod’s performance since I got it has vastly improved. And it’s honestly something that I haven’t thought about because it’s been so slowly gradual. But looking back, it’s gotten a lot better. If anything I…
