Republicans are only deficit hawks when it comes to spending money on things every day people benefit from. If they actually gave even a single shit about the deficit, they wouldn't hand billionaires massive tax breaks every single tim

Fiscal conservatism is a lie, Republicans have consistently contributed far more to the debt than Democrats, at least during my lifetime.

VR will probably always be pretty niche for gaming. Even with affordable headsets, there is still a lot of friction to their daily usage that limits their appeal - VR sickness - Lack of physical space in people's homes - Don't rea

> Always on AR glasses are the real future bet Glassholes are the future? VR headsets are at least fun. These glasses though, seem really dumb. I doubt they will ever be ubiquitous. I certainly wouldn't be caught dead wearing a surv

There are a few points I can see 1. Console-like living room ready experience. It's surprisingly hard to get a PC made with off-the-shelf parts to integrate cleanly with a home theater system (think features like HDMI CEC, One Touch Pl

'pointless' is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. This console went completely unhacked for 12 years, with this coming a solid 4 years after the hardware was discontinued. They kept piracy off the console for its whole lifespan,

The new Xbox is going to be a specialized PC running Windows with full access to third party game stores (Steam, Epic, etc). It won't need to be "hacked" because anyone will already be able to run any software they want on it

This is the most asinine take I've seen on the subject in a while. You may think it's your "god-given right" to cheat in multiplayer games, but the overwhelming majority of rational people simply aren't going to pla

this is straight up not even true, and even if it was, you're ignoring the fact that things like cell phone and internet are required to function in modern society.

Well, I see I've thoroughly angered the billionaire wannabes. Funny how they never offer any solutions to these problems and just make a stink about them being acknowledged in the first place.

The longer we ignore the collapse of the middle class, the angrier the bottom half of the economy will get and the more justified they will feel in enacting retribution. We absolutely have historical precedents for what happens here: The Fr

I would argue we've even already seen this play out with productivity gains across the economy over the last 40 years. The American middle class has been gradually declining since the '80s. AI seems likely to accelerate that trend

What if we said that generative AI output is simply not copyrightable. Anything an AI spits out would automatically be public domain, except in cases where the output directly infringes the rights of an existing work. This would make it so

The longer we put off solving climate change, the more expensive it is going to be for the poor and middle-classes.

There are ways of implementing digital identity that do not require the user to divulge more information than is technically required to the party requesting authentication. This is one of the main benefits of a digital system. With physica

replacing ActionScript with C# is a big win in my book, I will be watching this project with great interest.

Don't worry, I'm sure the billions of dollars being spent on AI slop will restore consumer enthusiasm any day now...

I honestly think the memory shortage kills the possibility of a Switch 2 Lite. Nintendo can't realistically take memory budget away from developers after the fact. The 2DS cut the 3D feature from the 3DS, but all games were required

I don't think vibecoding is the solution to software quality problems, regardless of what tools/models you are using.

At the end of the day LLMs just reproduce the consensus of the internet, so it makes sense that a coding agent would spit out software that looks like most of what's on the internet. LLM output is called slop for a reason.

SteamOS is actively shipping on consumer hardware today, that's the real major difference here. People who don't even know how to install their own operating system are using it. There isn't a downside to these other distros

I think donating that amount of money to a political candidate is unethical no matter who that candidate is. I reject the premise that whatever this guy wants from Trump is a moral good greater than the harm that is being wrought. It is alm

Our own health department has completely removed objectivity from their process. It doesn't matter if they say something right or wrong now, they've completely lost our trust.
