The King

Right but MicroUSB was not enshrined into law as a standard like this.

Tbh I’m conflicted because on one hand it’s great to have a common standard, but on the other this might very well impede progress. Also does USBC even provide enough wattage to power a gaming laptop?

I was thinking the same thing, how annoying

Late to the party here, but yeah that was my take as well. As the inner simulation was about to burn planet express down, the professor made a comment about how catastrophic it would be given all the “doomsday” devices he has. I inferred that to mean that if all those doomsday devices went off, the outer simulation would be unable to simulate it, revealing that the “main” simulation was a simulation in itself; so outer bender came to the “main” simulation with the intention of stopping that from happening.

Sega Nomad was my favorite, bit I’m not sure you could really classify it as a handheld since it ate through batteries like nobody’s business

This is such a cop-out. “No computers!”, but it’s okay to let someone drive who isn’t paying attention because they’re deep in their phone? I drive a motorcycle and I’ve had people stare me straight in the eye, only to pull out in front of me and nearly kill me.

People are notoriously bad at driving. The computer doesn’t have to be perfect, just better than the soccer moms or distracted dummies.

In what way? I feel like I have way too many games on my list, but not enough time… Zelda, Diablo 4, BG3, Bomb Rush Cyberpunk, Starfield, Street Fighter 6, the list goes on

Yup, laws are not made by the supreme Court. It’s all about them wanting to create a narrative and common enemy. Neither party cares about you or your rights.

The slippery slope is what makes this not okay. It’s a completely unnecessary invasion of privacy in the guise of “safety”.

I’d love to see some statistics showing that these things are anything other than an additional tax on the drivers. This is bad for everyone and it desensitizes you and opens the door to further surveillance I’m the future.

The first one is absolutely hideous, I wouldn’t want that in my house.

The second one doesn’t even look too be solid wood, but rather engineered wood with a veneer - I don’t see how that’s any different than IKEA.

I love real wood furniture as much as the best person, I have some myself, but your post here does not help the point you’re trying to make

Why wouldn’t you set a wallpaper? It’s a good way to personalize your phone and make it unique

So what? For a hybrid app like that to be smooth and performant, he has my kudos. If I hadn’t already seen this running in a browser, I don’t think I would have realized it was. I personally like the Sync experience, but it’s really cool to have lots of different choices that use different tech.

It’s really great that you are moving so quickly and supporting your community in this way, but I wonder if all these front ends are potentially going to create a bit of a long term maintenance headache? How are we certain that they don’t introduce any new vulnerabilities and how are we staying on top of those when they happen? I worry that each new frontend adds burden to an already small community for a potentially minor practical gain.

Don’t get me wrong, you guys are doing awesome stuff, and I’m consistently impressed with this instance. That’s just the first thing that comes to my head having done software for many years myself.

These posts are really cool and interesting, thanks for sharing!
