this reminds me of an affluent area vs none. Some places are much better maintained and have landscapers keeping it looking tidy.

I feel like it should be a gameplay mechnanic that you need to actually pay attention and maintain your public spaces or else they become overgrown and wild.

The screenshots look cool and I definitely agree they look soulless as it is.

the only thing I don't get is why a 4 number PIN on Windows Hello counts as a passkey. Obviously it can be as long as you want but

I wonder how it will look when we start doing statistics on gamers, if AI doesn't destroy our brains first. Then it would be interesting to plot the different death by genre like for example strategy, FPS, puzzle, etc. Someone else asked about Chess players which is probably also related right.

My grandad essentially died of alzheimers and he just loved to sit and watch football all day where you don't really need to think much.

to be fair, with AI reviews i'm finding the opposite to be true. Anytime I push a one line fix it continuously tells me about all of the edge cases I didn't handle until it's pretty much bullet proof

I think as long as you're not depressed because you don't have enough money I've seen people with much much less happier than extremely wealthy people.

I know someone extremely wealthy and he continuously says that he's bored, is depressed yet wants to make more.

Meanwhile I work daily with people on a normal/content wage and I feel like they're generally happier people?

I know people really struggling financially and they're constantly depressed.

we barely ever use our GoPro 8 BLACK. I decided to take it with me skiing and turned it on for a crazy ride down. When I got back I wanted to show my GF the footage and it just had frozen video, only playing sound.

I thought they were meant to be really robust and hardy but it decided not to work when I needed it and now I don't really trust them tbh. It's sort of opposite of what the brand was leading me to believe.

Would be happier with this information if I didn't hate Cloudflare's extortion based business model

I think Rive is quickly becoming a good Flash replacement. They started with vector animation and timelines and then started adding components and coding etc.

Cancelled. Was a right job trying to get in as it just refreshed everytime I tried on mobile. When I went to the site separately after clicking subscribe it magically let me in.

The cancel login flow didn't inform me that it found my login suspicious but the subscribe one did

I did this like 20yrs ago. Would ask him for payment and he would go quiet until he needed changes. I made the changes and he would be like oohhh I need to pay you don't I! I give the details and he goes quiet again until he needed more changes

When you go from Cinema/game mode to vivid it looks ridiculous. When you've spent some time in vivid and go to cinema/game it looks dull and washed out

That syntax is so alien to me as a JS/TS developer. I mean coffeescript was as well until JS slowly introduced it all.

It would be cruel for me to force ReScript onto the team because they'd all need to reskill. I could only use it for a private project and then hire exclusively for it afterwards

I think it's funny that this is passed around as a great example of how to run a company, but I really don't think Valve are producing much.

you can't really use them for long durations of time because your face gets hot and sweaty, from my experience. It doesn't feel good to have something stuck to your face.

Also, the resolution still isn't good enough to see small text IMO.

I had the HTC Vive quite a few years ago, using it a lot and constantly buying new games and experiences to try it out. It was a little annoying paying full whack for little 5-10min tech demos but was still encapsulated by it. Eventually got the wireless extension to avoid having to detangle the rope of a cable you were tethered to, but the base stations in the corner of the room were still annoying me cause you constantly had to re-calibrate it everytime someone nudged or moved them.

Left it for quite a few years and after seeing the reviews about the Quest 3, I bought that and was amazed by how simple it was to pickup and use and the fact that you didn't need a monster computer running it. You literally pick it up and get going. The Meta app store is filled with lots of VR Titles which aren't just tech demos and you can STILL hook it up to your computer and play a host of Steam games. The Quest 3 was like €500 and basically a full platform.

The Vision Pro got announced with a few improvements like higher resolution but it was an insane €3500... ok I was curious how much better it would be, since I was quite impressed by my Quest 3.

My friend had bought one, one of those people who loves to wear expensive watches and be seen in public having a lot of money. As with a lot of Apple products it's sometimes about being seen to have the latest thing and the Vision Pro was great for sitting in public, catching attention and showing people that you can afford a €3500 device.

He brings it on holiday and is passing it around the room, showing people the dinosaur tech demo and everyone is amazed at how brilliant it is. For all of those in amazement (including my friend) it was their very first experience getting into VR and I also went through the same feeling when I first got the HTC Vive.

He gives it to me and shows me the dinosaur tech demo and all I could really think was... how does this thing cost €3000 more than the Quest 3? I asked him: Where are the games? there are none. Can you hook it up to Steam? No... When the battery dies, can you swap it with another? No.

Unless I had bought my Quest 3 to compare them side-by-side I honestly could not feel that it was much better visually... the finger tracking to go through menus wasn't bad, but that was it.

I think the fact that Apple devices are generally in the thousands already: MBP can be like £3000, iPhone can be like £1k... it makes sense that they were able to sell them for the price of what they did, but for me it's just insanity.

Do they have a library of games yet? Do they have any VR Games yet? Someone said it wasn't priced for consumers and I guess that's fine, but again... why wouldn't you just buy a Quest 3 (unless you hate Facebook)?

I also disabled this. The reason I used DND in the first place was because I was playing League of Legends Wild Rift on my phone and mid battle my mum would call me, which takes up the entire screen mid-battle, essentially getting me killed.

If my mum and probably others don't get through the first time, they'll try again and again thinking something is broken, until it gets through due to this setting

Tailwind is CSS that cleans itself up as you go

Why is that a problem though? Newer and more GPU intensive games get to benefit from DLSS 4 and older games already run fine. What games without DLSS support could have done with a boost?

I've heard this twice today so curious why it's being mentioned so often.

I haven't checked in a while, but last I checked ChatGPT it struggled on very basic things like: how many Fs are in this word? Not sure if they've managed to fix that but since that I had lost hope in getting it to do any sort of math

is this available anywhere yet or still not outside of Google? it would be great to test it on our K8S which uses nginx-ingress

why can't you just email them and stop turning up?

Safari, the browser that claims to support standards but always comes with caveats, like saying they support transform/transitions and then everything with box shadows flickering

I mean I know what domain I'm telling my parents to visit and it isn't chat.openai.com or chatgpt.com. Don't think they need to rebrand but it's a good enough shortcut

I know you're not advocating for it but it doesn't make sense to essentially vote in 2x billionaires into office.

I'm just disappointed we may never know what Russia has on Musk. He went from being an avid atheist Democrat to pretending to be a Christian and pushing for Republican like his life depended on it. What is he hiding? Why was he so afraid?

You might as well empty Arkham Asylum whilst all the pardons for crimes are being dished out.

€21.35 for a T-Usual card which allows unlimited travel on all public transport for 30 days, yet you still have people in here kicking and screaming to use their car and roads

As someone who's been to both China and Japan I'd say railway is far ahead in China than the rest of the world.

Again, according to GPT, the price per kilometre between them is €0.03-0.06 in China vs €0.15-0.26 in Japan.

I know Japan has a lot of high speed rail coverage but so does China and the difference in price is absolutely insane.

Rail between Beijing and Shanghai for example has an average speed of 300kmh. I believe their high speed network is vaster than Japan's.

According to GPT, the price per kilometre for rail travel is between €0.23-0.46 in the UK and €0.13-0.20 in Germany. I'm not able to verify those numbers but from my own personal experience I wouldn't doubt it.

Rail in the UK is just so bad that I stopped using it to go to the airport. Everything is constantly delayed or cancelled like I can plan a journey to arrive 2hrs before my flight and the train will randomly pause for 1hr when I'm half way... also the luggage situation is extremely stressful as the racks are out of sight and generally full, like where else am I meant to put my large suitcase after that?

It seems like trains are much larger in Europe with a lot of double deckers.

If there's two of us it's easier and sometimes cheaper to pay £100 for a taxi to the airport door to door (we're fairly rural)

you could also work from a car if someone else is driving it like a taxi, but imagine the price difference to travel such a long distance every day over rail versus metro + rail.

Another point I haven't seen mentioned much is safety. Rail is vastly safer than cars and results in less strain on the medical system.

ticketswap have a max markup of 20% and then you can be refunded if you overpay for tickets. I guess the idea is that people start looking there and people naturally use it. The problem is that scalpers will empty the platform and sell em for more on ticket master and everyone is again forced to buy from there.

It would be great if artists had a way to force people to use it. Hopefully that's the plan.

I guess it's not like my comment is important but saw my colleague really forcing himself to use his RM1 as though it was a gift. Never really understood the purpose of something that was less than 1% as capable as an iPad, even if it may feel better to write on. Sure the battery is probably great due to eInk but honestly my iPad is never out of battery or far from USB-C. I can play games on my iPad for 3hrs and only use 10% battery it's insane.

The only thing I will say is that for the iPad I'm still surprised I can't really share my screen and start drawing on a whiteboard in a Slack meeting which was my primary desire for having one. Literally be in a meeting and start sketching boxes and circles to my coworkers to explain things
