User replaceable batteries are... fine? Expected; preferred even? 40 hours on a single charge is more than adequate, imo, and if the controllers were too light that might actually bother some players.

I realize this might not be the case for everyone, but for me, $600 premium is easily worth it to "jailbreak" the meta game store. Steam was here for ~25 years and I expect it to be around in another 25 years. My Quest 1, an absol

Thanks for sharing this, I've been wanting to look at private cloud stuff but it was all written in PHP. It looks like OpenCloud is majority Go with some php and gherkin, which is a step in the right direction.

I think you may be in the vast minority here. People born after 1990 grew up using emoji and most keyboards show your top ~25 most used emojis, floated to the top, and keyboards offer search function, this was a largely solved problem by 20

I can see soap-opera-style, video-manga becoming a thing, where you get 5x20 minute episodes a week, and an ai-generated 30 min super cut of the week's "events" every saturday. What if DragonBallZ, but new episodes drop every

They're spinning up their own advertising platform; chatgpt is a coherent contender to google's search bar, over a long enough time span if they can maintain user engagement numbers, it seems plausible that they could secure half

I think everyone who has ever owned a game console and bought the "optional first party accessory" (super scope 6, kinect, etc) is painfully aware that since developers can't count on widespread adoption, they almost never wa

Just guessing, but it seems like you could duct tape a phone with a data plan and have it email you it's gps coordinates every 15 min under 10,000ft and every 5 min under 500 ft, or whatever is reasonable. I bet 80% of them land within

My guess was that nvidia is limiting memory size on consumer cards to avoid cannibalizing their commercial/industrial sales. I see no reason why a 5060 or 5070 can't come with 64/128/512gb memory outside of intentional d

Docker + IaC* for me; git ops, immutable servers, immutable code, immutable config, (nearly) immutable infrastructure means I haven't had to drop to the command line on a server since 2015. If something is wrong you restart the contain

Consumer devices are already available that offer 128gb specifically labeled for AI use. I think server side AI will still exist for IoT devices, but I agree, 10 years seems pretty reasonable timelie to buy a GTX 5080-sized card that will h

One of the really big things that nobody talks about is the invention of the "mit cheetah actuator" which was invented in (well, the paper was published) in 2017, and commercial copies became freely availble in ~2020 online for ab

This is where I'm at. If you look at Boston Dynamics' first videos, they're 45 second clips of 4 legged robots walking in not even a straight line, just proving they could walk 5 feet over level ground without falling over. T

Nope, the purpose of a Synology unit is to be about as complex as a toaster. Put it on the shelf, plug it in, make sure auto-updates are enabled, and forget about it until it sends you an email in 5-10 years that one or more drives is full&

You have to out-pay to keep your talent from walking out the door. California does not have non-competes. With the number of AI startups in SF you don't need to relocate or even change your bus route in most cases.

Is that why it's basically useless now? We're actively looking for a replacement. All it's good for now is setting kitchen timers and turning on the lights. I go out of my way to avoid using it now.
