The game has been free for 16 years. This is the paid version to support the devs, literally because they're getting old and they have medical bills to pay.
LOL is that the only thing you know how to do? Just put your own bullshit in quotes and act like somebody actually said that? Sounds stupid and pointless, but maybe fun. Let me try:
"I can't deal when somebody criticizes a dumb article about a dumb light show that I posted, so I'll be overly defensive, make up nonsense, and put words in others' mouths that they didn't say. Goo goo ga ga, etc."
More control. I can make a homemade PFSense router that gives me enterprise grade features like VLANS, VPN options and advanced firewall rules.
Performance. A dedicated AP from Unifi or Armada is more powerful and stable than most consumer wireless routers.
Price. Building a decent setup yourself actually pretty cost effective compared to high-end consumer routers.
It's DEFINITELY NOT for everyone, but if you're a nerd with some networking skills and time to spare you can make a baller enterprise-grade home network for under $300. My budget setup made from used components blows any $500 "premium" router away.
Apparently you can flash OpenWRT on some Unifi APs, though I've never tried it personally. I have a Unifi AP (with stock firmware) connected to my DIY PFSense box and it's working great.
Plastic recyling is absolute nonsense. And crappy drone batteries RARELY get recycled in reality. And recycling shouldn't be the first thing you think of: REDUCE, RE-USE, RECYCLE. There's a reason it's third in the list, it's the least important and effective tool.
I'm just trying to be realistic rather than participating in pointless virtue signaling.
I'm smart enough to know that there's a lot I don't know, and I took enough psychology classes to know that IQ tests are basically made-up nonsense. Comparing your intelligence to others is a losing battle and a waste of time.
I don't get it, what's to appreciate here? They bought a thousand plastic drones from China with a thousand disposable lithium ion batteries that are bad for the environment, and had them shipped over on a cargo megaship that spews smog into the atmosphere. They're utilizing a bunch of things that have fucked the environment to do a little light show to "raise awareness" over a city that is already full of people that don't need to be convinced that climate change is a problem.
One of the perks of being agnostic is that you don't have to tell people you're agnostic. When others ask me about my religion, I just shrug and say I was raised Christian but I'm not really religious anymore. I don't mention that I'm agnostic unless they pry and ask more questions.
I think 50k is definitely on the low end of what you might consider a "city". And you're right, it would depend on density. IMO a city with that population can't really sustain a bus system if it's spread out too much.
I like shitting on Facebook but this is a stupid article.
Meta is literally resorting to giving them away for free: Attendees of this year's developer conference for the global gaming platform Roblox each got a free Meta Quest Pro. While it's unclear how many people attended the event, it's a clear indication that the device isn't exactly flying off the shelves.
So they gave some away at a dev conference. But we don't know how many, and we also don't know if the Roblox conference paid for those devices or if Meta really gave them away for free. Clickbait bullshit.
Not really, you're ideally paying for a server that you have complete control of. The differences are mostly just fundamental limitations.
Example: if you're hosting off site, you will always be connecting remotely, so your access depends on a network connection. If you're hosting at home then your stuff is still accessible when your internet goes down
