  • I remember wanting to play one of the Ultima games so badly on an old Win95 PC, but the game wasn't fully compatible and would play at like 5x speed. I see so many people reminiscing about how great the games were back in the day and it makes me a little sad I couldn't figure out the issue at the time.

    I'd be all for a remake just so I could experience the stories.

  • Adam Savage has a very similar story meeting Robin Williams on the set of Bicentennial Man and getting a essentially a private show from him for a few minutes. Robin Williams was an amazing human being, flaws and all.

  • I deployed a few of these. They were 10 years behind the curve. The monitor weighed as much as a flat panel from 15 years ago, the stand was fucking HUGE making it hard to move. The camera and microphone were an afterthought and not worth using (the mic would pick up every little touch on the Jamboard). The entire thing felt like it was built for design first rather than function

  • To add onto this, one of the Arkham games had a bug in the last fight with Joker that wouldn't let you finish the fight with mouse/keyboard. It was a QTE and it would recognize the button press, but wouldn't recognize you were holding it down, so the animation kept resetting like you were taunting the joker before finally finishing him off.

  • I work with a group based in India. They have a completely different culture around messaging. Things I would consider worthy of an email comes as a message from them (i.e. doesn't need immediate attention/ escalation).

    They are also very formal when initiating new messages, almost like they're following the same social standards as if they met you in the hallway (e g. Hi, how are you? Btw, I have this thing I need to talk to you about.). Mind you, this is all the time after exchanging dozens of messages a day.

    I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it, just lends some credence to what Musk said.

  • And people turn their heads, move their eyes across their windshield, change focus to look ahead or closer, look in their mirrors, listen for sounds (emergency vehicles, car honks, etc), are able to do things like look through gaps and other car windows to adjust to partial obstructions.

    The fact that he doesn't realize you need a multitude of sensors to do even a little bit of what a human can do tells you all you need to know about Elon's so called brilliance.

  • If you haven't, take some time to read 1984. It's a fairly easy read and this thread will make a lot more sense. Also, there's a reason it's a timeless classic and referred to so often - Orwell hit on a lot of prevalent themes authoritarians like to use. Once you know how to identify them, it's easy to see when someone is using something like double speak (consciously or subconsciously)

  • Pretty good. It has about 5 power levels for different scenarios (carpet, upholstery, curtains, etc) with the lower levels being super quiet. Even at the highest power level, I wouldn't worry about bothering anyone by vacuuming another room.

  • I bought a Miele a few years ago and don't regret it. Best vacuum I've ever owned. It is bagged, but in my opinion that's better than bagless. I owned a few bagless vacuums over the years and they all have the same problem of excessive dust generation when emptying. You don't have that problem with bags.
