As an Android user with a healthy distaste of Google things, this + parent makes me smile. (Discontinuing their old magazine features, with nary a month to back up my purchased collection, as a one by one download was the latest thing).

Geoff Crammond's work is kind of legendary in the industry :-) Here's a great take on SCR: https://youtu.be/hcmSBwLKVOY?si=PPecndiH1E6NFfsq I have very fond memories of playing that with a friend, first on the C64

The Rangers/Raptors etc I'm seeing that threaten to outnumber your regular sedans on the roads are the ones I'm referring to. They massively outsize your regular cars, even SUVs such as the Mazda CX-5, Tesla Model Y, or the S

To me it looked like the CT primarily used its rear motors here, and perhaps also didn't have a "crawl" mode (it'd be XDrive in Subaru speak, I guess) as it was kind of all or nothing. Traction control systems can be upg

Nice, congratulations on your success! I just took delivery of my 2nd AX90 as they're very cheap in Australia right now. This Samsung air purifier was sold to every classroom in the state of Victoria under a big deal, and it performs g

That works wonderfully with VKB's STECS, which lets you swap physical detent profiles in roughly 20 seconds. So you have a forward/backward axis on your throttle with a well defined "W" centre point, plus a high quality

As a DCS player, I appreciate when information is moved into the public domain or whatever it's called when the module makers can freely design a plane that's almost just like the real thing. A few specifics are approximated to gl

I bought it based on this comment, on sale now at Steam! It looks great, thanks.

FWIW I put a few hours into building a starting city, and no real issues with performance now in that a game like this clearly doesn't depend on smooth frames quite like a flight simulator does. I think there was at least one major pat

Presently running my EV just about 100% on rooftop solar energy, which is possible about 3/5ths of year in my situation. Melbourne, AUS, admittedly, but still. Fuel delivery still requires a crap load of energy, some of it in the form

I just got CP2077 along with a new system, where I experience frame rates regularly north of 150 - almost always north of 100 with PBR, everything maxed out. It runs incredibly smooth 100% of the time, and looks completely stunning on my 32

Being on a stage is moving into a situation you are not familiar with, and making a performance, which is different to the general opinion of strangers. If you rescue someone, that's all about that person's safety - which has got

Because you keep interfering with my work with your never ending notifications starting with the last opened tabs, to the incessant "use Bing it's great" - which I can only mute for a week at a time. WTF already; used to love

It's mind boggling to think the first of these launched when I was ~5 years old - and still operational, at these distances.

Thanks for noticing - I've always been very fond of that one. I had a Creative Labs PCMCIA Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS card for a laptop once, they were absolutely fantastic for the time.

Can confirm the Brother series is great. I have the HL-L2375DW. I got accused of being a shill last time I posted about it, so I'm preempting this by calling it out. :-) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37006705#370

Not quite "boomer" but vividly recall air alert sirens being played for evacuation exercises to seek shelters in Norway when I was a child of I guess 6 or 7 in the late 70s. "Better dead than red." That's another on

Yup if you applied for a refund, your ticket(s) could go back in the pool for someone wanting to get one/some last minute. If it/they are picked up, you get your money back minus transaction fees and perhaps a small penalty, and i

I was a happy Edge user for ages, but their constant pushing of ads to accept the new Bing search and what not is really doing my head in. So have been moving over to Firefox. Much better! And bookmark synch works great, across different Mi

Disagree. My argument is that Apple have been ignoring it pretty much completely. If a significant user base of PC users had OSX, then with a bit of TLC/ development from Apple I'm sure it'd be a very viable platform for gami

First: I'm happy that Steam has put effort into Linux! Then, as a bit of a tangent: Windows only has a "monopoly" on PC gaming because Apple refuses to licence their operating system for non-Apple hardware - and because Linux
