    Be aware that for global NCAP, safety ratings are dependent on the vehicle class. If a subcompact car receives 5 stars, this does not mean it has the same probability of survivabil…

    I recently downloaded it from GOG and tried to play it on a 5K studio display. I wasn't able to get a result that did not blur those beautiful pixels, which is such a shame. Yes, I…

    It looks beautiful, thanks for the write-up! Question: Most docks have ample space around the phone to grip it and remove it from the dock easily. Your design encases the phone on …

    According to the article, the Vision Pro will not play common side by side videos. It has its own standard ("WebXR clips"), but nobody distributes these, and videos from that stand…

    Peter Gabriel's 2023 album "i/o" has some quite inspired Atmos mixing going on. The track "The Court" is particularly nice. Make sure you pick the "In-Side Mix" version of the albu…

    Apple Vision Pro is coming out soon, with the same terrible rules for app developers. We should put out an open letter to Apple that we will collectively ignore that product until …

    In the linked keynote, Jesse Lyu mentions that LLM won't help us actually do tasks - there are currently no so-called "agents" that do something simple like book a flight - the bes…

    I don't think [4] is a marketplace in the sense that the expansions are from third party creators. They are all created by Modartt themselves, one by one over the past 15 years. Af…

    I've got the smallest digital full frame (the Sony RX1). Compared with your linked analog Ricoh GR1v, the Sony is bigger because of its much more capable lens. Putting the Ricoh le…

    That's revolting. Which radio show was this?

    Gabriel, could you please clarify once and for all: for "traditional web links", how much do you rely on bing? The user consensus seems to be 100%. What is the official number from…

    Here's a thought: If you let ChatGPT be idle, thinking to itself, dreaming and planning, this might actually cross the boundary towards sentience - of what we would call somebody w…
