You'll look like a mega nerd if you pull that out in a classroom, assuming you even have the desk space. Not to mention the qol improvement of having your pen touch the screen you're drawing on.

What about color quality? I've used high resolution laptops with shitty washed out colors, but one thing I've always appreciated about Apple's displays is their vibrance.

The fact that they're calling it an "attack" implies otherwise. I find the entire premise of this announcement absurd. Fraudulent accounts? They're just accounts. They paid for the access the same as any other. They'

Ironically, it was originally built to support Android phones. Pocket Edition was a stripped down version of the game to support the xperia play, so it was built for optimization from the start. Later it got support for broader Android devi

Minor tweaks are still a mod. Gameplay overhaul modpacks that turn the game into Factorio are definitely the a small minority of the playerbase, but anyone who knows better plays with at least some sort of client-side performance mod (Optif

The disc reader on consoles is optional these days. Nowadays many are opting for digital only variants. It's likely those will be the only option in ~10 years, or they'll switch to flash key cards (like the Switch) just to appease

I'd also suggest starting with Arduino, but also recommend moving towards STM32 for doing more advanced stuff. The hardware abstractions Arduino imposes can get really annoying once you start doing more advanced timing dependent stuff.

he is also using development boards wired together rather than a custom pcb. there's a good chance the choice of passive components, removal of unneeded components, and better optimized power converters can improve the design.

3D printing would be good at making figurines and such, but you can't easily replicate the Lego system's modularity without their high tolerances. That being said, it should be feasible to make something that allows easily program

Looks like it has an IMU built in, so if it has wireless it could easily integrate with some kind of software system like those. Seems like right now it's just so your space ship can make vroom sounds

The Looker is quite possibly the greatest parody ever executed in a video game. It creates the same kind of "ahah" moment that games like The Witness do, but in a way that really pokes fun at the level of pretentiousness those gam

I still hold to how amazing the Wii's user interface was. All pointer-based, using simple IR cameras, an underpowered CPU, and a downright ancient IMU (it didn't even have a gyroscope!)
