Presumably before you buy something as expensive as a new car, I'd assume you'd look at reviews.

You'd be able to see the car's Euro NCAP ratings, which, to be frank, were always much more comprehensive in testing than NHTSA anyway.

Well yeah, but if you go by that, literally everything is from public investment and subsidy.

Just checked (UK, like the article says)

They are not in stock.

Good. A massive investment, and not requiring a load of public subsidy like seemingly everything else.

Nice to see stuff slowly start actually being built.

Please don't make stuff up.

Other stuff isn't banned and the law already has allowances for emerging standards.

I mean, custom steam deck resin buttons containing insects is probably niche enough not to have to source many of them.

They had already agreed to share information with the Kremlin years ago. Have people been living under a rock?

Phones would be far less socially damaging if social media didn't exist in the way it does now.

Please read my comments before you respond to them.

Human vision is very, very, very good. If you think a camera installed to a car is even close to human eyesight, then you are extremely mistaken.

Human eyes are so far beyond it's hard to even quantify.

And bullshit on you not being able to see the lights. They're specifically designed so that's not an issue for colourblind people.

Tesla's argument of "well human eyes are like cameras therefore we shouldn't use LiDAR" is so fucking dumb.

Human eyes have good depth perception and absolutely exceptional dynamic range and focusing ability. They also happen to be linked up to a rapid and highly efficient super computer far outclassing anything that humanity has ever devised, certainly more so than any computer added to a car.

And even with all those advantages humans have, we still crash from time to time and make smaller mistakes regularly.

I mean the galaxy note (2011) is still larger than plenty of phones now, so it doesn't seem absurd. They were large and still are.

• Note: 146.9mm x 83mm x 9.7mm (total volume 118,269mm³)
• S25: 146.9mm x 70.5 x 7.2mm (total volume 74,566mm³)

The note is 59% larger. Yet people seem to look at the specs and say "it only has a 5.2" screen, it must be way smaller than the 6.2" screen phones of today"

I don't get why reviewers conflate phone size and screen size. They aren't the same.

Shit, let's even compare it to the S25 Ultra (so the big one with a 6.9" screen).

• S25 Ultra: 162.8mm x 77.6mm x 8.2mm (total volume 103,592mm³)

The Note, despite the 5.2" screen size implying the phone is tiny in comparison, is 14% larger.

I'm tired of them quoting phone sizes by screen size as opposed to... well... the actual size of the phone.

Most people will hear 6.3" and think well my old phone was 4.3", clearly this is going to be vastly larger, completely forgetting that bezels these days are practically non-existent, whereas they used to take up half of the frontal area.

The original Galaxy Note had a 5.2" screen. By modern standards that's puny. You'd assume that phone is absolutely tiny. Yet the Note is actually 14% larger than the current S25 Ultra with a 6.9" screen.

HDR is kinda complicated right now.

As it stands, it's only available on the Plasma and Gnome desktop environments.

The HDR stack on Linux has went through a lot of change recently, and much of the stack has only just been finalised/standardised. It'll take a while to mature, and to arrive on distros like Mint.

No

Strange (or maybe not, I imagine there's a lot of overlap with the work they do and constructing homes).

I won't complain about more houses being built.

I wouldn't go as far as saying it's bigotry to dislike Nazis, but you do you mate.

You wouldn't want the Signal brand to become linked to it.

"I'm on Signal, would you like to chat there?"

"What, on the MAGA Nazi app, are you joking? Of course I'm not talking to you there!"

Ideally you want a broad spectrum of people.

I know it shouldn't make a difference and people should base their views strictly on the technical and usability aspects of the app, but real life doesn't work that way. Perceptions matter.

I'm sorry my lord, but you did say to add the white wizard... How was I to know there were two of them now??

I had the exact same thought. By the sounds of their announcement, yes!

The Stardew Valley preview is an opportunity for you to get involved, test it, and let us know what you think. It currently has all the features needed to help you easily mod Stardew Valley, such as mod updates and installing collections.

I need to remind myself to install this when I get the chance. Navigating the site for every mod, downloading them, extracting them, deleting old mods, and moving them over is very tedious to do on a steam deck without an external monitor/KB+M
