The Assassin’s Creed Odyssey game, set in classical Greece, has a feature like this. It works really well as a teaching tool, and the immersion is excellent. Even today, the overal…

Due to spending more time in a chair than being active I have a bit more interactions with Gravity than most. :) This has led to fairly significant sleep apnea, which is most easil…

I'm with ya. I've owned 4 (Model S P100D, Model S Plaid, Model X, Model Y) over the past 10+ years. When the lease on my Plaid expired, I couldn't bring myself to get another one. …

The key engineering point here is about failure modes. If the failure mode is a brick, then the engineering and design team behind that switch has failed. The failure mode for a sm…

This seems like the classic boom/bust cycle of capitalism and government. One upon a time, CA had things like free education through the UC and CSU system, and a tax rate that seem…

These images all reenforce only one thing - that Reuben Wu is a fantastic photographer. For him the iPhone is just a tool, much as a knife for a chef or a keyboard & monitor for a …

You can - and this is almost as interesting - go down a waterslide from a 747 hanging from the ceiling!

Seems like a sunlight rich area such as the Nevada high desert is about as energy friendly as one could imagine. The main requirements seem to be water, sulfuric acid, and (of cour…

There are any number family group chats that leave my sister out of things. She's the only Android user out of about 20 people. If she's on the threads then pictures, videos, and r…

Qualified Immunity could be easily fixed by law. That congress has been unwilling to pass such a law tells you that both sides support.

> Ghana produces crude oil, but it has relied on imports for refined oil products since its only refinery shut down after an explosion in 2017 This seems like the core of the story…

Great, next my car will be Tweeting all the real time telemetry (I405 North, by exit 18, lane #1, 81mph, throttle at 61%, 4 hands-off-steering-wheel events detected in the last hou…

The reasons are pretty clear: 1) Clearly better lenses for the first time in a generation. 2) Smaller, lighter camera's (to go with better and smaller/lighter glass), and 3) Your o…

I have high-end security camera's all over the exterior of my house. They all run a Linux 2.6 Kernel that is froom 2011. There are no firmware updates available from the manufactur…

The wine... it's been deoxygenated. Once the glass is properly rimmed by a green sharpie, the tone it emits when stuck is exquisite. The aroma from the tincture of leaves swirls ar…

If I were a large military that routinely sent pilots on missions around the world, research into drugs like this would be well funded. As someone with serious sleep issues, I drea…

MSFT also allows arbitrary installation of software and development systems. They do force updates, scanning, and other common security best practices. On the machines people use f…

Why is crypto.com able to retrieve their funds in this case, but crypto hacks around the world result in customers being told there's no recourse? Doesn't appear crypto.com paid ba…
