Right? Like...a series of passwords or something...alongside some big red warning screen...idk... The feature, as-is - is not just useless; but borderline hilarious.

LMFAO...yeah, you could say the same about Heroin. And Heroin is actually damaging to users. You can pick any random thing, compare it to any other random thing, and get similar or opposing results - or anything in between, because thos

That's, uh...pretty ignorant of the fact that most of the people in the IT world are infinitely more aware of how damaging FB and most social media sites are than the average person. Come on .

>> I subscribed to Peacock because it was $1.99, and now they show ads when the video is paused. Wow. It’s like streaming services want to lose customers. Baffling.

Okay; good for you. I myself consume so much content on YouTube (hours of video essays and podcasts) - and the ads are so relentlessly aggressive - that paying an extremely minimal fee each month for the service is an absolute no-brainer. H

This was one of the closest experiences to 'Virtual Reality' I've had; lol - the combination of the cute art mixed with the sound is truly great.

Wouldn't that be easier to exploit, rather than more difficult?

If I remember correctly at the time, the difference was about $100. It was a no-brainer I still say if SEGA went DVD with the Dreamcast we'd have a totally different console scene, but I'm also a huge SEGA fangirl, so what can I s

This is bad - but the worst part is that due to this trending on HN, I’m willing to put $50 down on that you’ve received some sort of personal or special message from Stripe support; for PR’s sake, so you can say someone reached out and res

>> I fail to see how the housing issue in SF and the issue you mentioned in Orlando is related to capitalism. Then I can only logically concede that you are either blind, or intentionally ignorant of the blindingly obvious correlation

The reason the PS2 succeeded so massively is that it was an affordable DVD player alone , IIRC at the time you could buy a DVD player for like $199 or a PS2 for $299. It was a no brainer for any family looking to either replace their conso

San Fransisco is the epitome of visually seeing what is so messed up about our current breed of Capitalism. Orlando was very similar when I lived there - with Disney World literally on the other side of the highway from extremely derelict p

Many, many mid-to-high end headphone manufacturers offer headphones with detachable cables, both for exactly this reason; and also sometimes to allow it to either be bluetooth or cabled. You probably have to spend more than $100 for that, t

Upvoting this comment, dunno why it's been downvoted to hell - you're totally right. I agree with shadowgovt above, in that; yes - motion controls aren't meant to be used all the time, it absolutely gets exhausting. But on th

This, uh - ‘increase the price of our hardware’ thing that console manufacturers are doing is so far ass-backwards it’s making a full circle around the Earth to the front again. Meta’s ‘metaverse’ isn’t doing well - you know, that thing the

Does anyone want to install a PWA over a native app? Genuinely curious. Still wondering what the purpose of PWA’s existing is.

I’ve been developing with Xcode since at least 2005 and I still have, for some reason, never gotten used to this. It’s only autocorrect that saves me, I always instinctively type it with a capital C. Weird.

Very good to know. Thanks for making us aware of this. Review scams are insane.

Damn, and that’s latency-free enough for things like FPS online multiplayer? I can’t imagine using a wireless display for gaming. It’s bad enough just for remote access via VNC.

It’s how they phrased ‘I’ve found’, as if they hadn’t expected it to be that way to start. Obviously I and the above commenter expect that if you are interested enough to purchase the device, you probably should’ve thought of that to start.

This so hard! I can’t imagine, e.g. - going up to the cottage and bringing a console or handheld with me… The idea of a vacation is to disconnect, no?
