JRPGs and PS3/4-era story driven controller games have been my goto on the Deck, and I'm not traditionally a big JRPG guy outside of the really well known ones. There is a huge range of them out there I haven't played, and th

This simply won't matter if Gabe sells company to the "wrong" person/entity, which is a risk today.

Steam has benefited from a long period of good quality stable leadership, but as Gabe gets older I get more and more concerned for Steam. I love the service, I've used it since launch alongside Half-Life 2 etc on PC, but I am extremely

I do think times have changed though, DPReviews fortunes arguably have mirrored the fortunes of the ILC (interchangeable lens camera) market. The site (along with flickr.com...) was a daily visit for me 15 years ago at the height of the DSL

There was a window in late 90s/early 2000s in Europe where certain countries company car tax rules made it often more economical to run the diesel model of a lot of German cars and as a result Diesel sales took off for a while. This is

Well, at least we are coming around to the fact its just a computer! And for what its worth, the Pi 4, 3, 2 and zero have crazy levels of support out there, your description does not match the reality I've lived. You might be surprised

The reason you don't see Monster so much is the death of big box retail. Monster's pitch to TV/electronic retailers in the early 2000s was that there was basically next to no profit margin on TVs themselves, so instead you co

Thanks for the links. If something like that 2nd link actually works and can stimulate the inner ear to remove the problem entirely, that would be an incredible solution and easy to build into a headset band.

I've owned dev kit and still have a Quest 2, and don't think the motion sickness has materially improved that much at all, despite all the other improvements. Same experience for me with the latest Valve Index.

I also feel the VR enthusiast community rarely has an honest conversation about the size and scale of the nausea problem. I'm not sure its just a case of throw ever increasing fidelity at the picture and audio etc - I think its the fun

The fake camera effectively is a blanking plate/cover - without the fake camera, there would be a visible hole in the mount at the top of the windscreen.

Knowing how car parts work quite well, I suspect nobody wanted to pay the large costs in retooling the mount and heated window they already manufacture in the millions of units. This kinda thing happens all the time. The best/worst exa

Emphasis on should here. In the "real world" with real family pressures a lot of the time good account hygene goes out the window. In my experience account sharing is rife on "kid" iPads, especially as many of them are

Do we think ford even bother with SIM cards? Lots of modern 5G devices have e-sims etc, much easier for the factory floor if SIM card can be loaded via software too. None of my families cellphones have physical sims anymore either.

Everyone assumes the tech will be self driving, but it doesn’t need to be. The repo man can just use the 5G connection to locate the car, drive to it, unlock the car start the ignition and drive it away. This would work today just using the

If you can't make money on the highest margin configs (and they can't yet), you certainly don't prioritise selling the lower margin models. This is a fairly common practice for a new model line from an auto-maker and Rivian a

In isolation, sure, but this space is going to get so fiercely competitive so quickly (on the order of years, but that is fast for the car industry!) and ASPs for electric trucks will come down. Rivian are still generally only selling ~six-

by giobox 4y ago
The famous phrase was as much about the relative geo-political strength of the empire in the 18th and 19th centuries as much as it has to do with actually being able to see a sunset... but feel free to take it literally if you like.
