Baldur's Gate 3 is already there. It's over 120GB and IIRC PS5 games only use up to triple layer. There was no disc release. The current Gran Turismo is around 140GB. I think it ha…

They already have Slim versions of the PS5 without the optical reader by default. The PS5 Pro also lacks one. This is all data-driven. There's a reason GameStop has more space devo…

That's relevant to why it historically had bizarre UX issues, like ctrl+s being the shortcut to erase the scene and start a new one: it predated most of those conventions, and has …

I'm disappointed that the USBC is starting to certify tethered pin setups, though it is fortunately a separate category of competition. The pin action is wildly different.

It's the other way around now. Walmart has more games than GameStop, and you're lucky to get $10 off, ever. The PlayStation store is never more than MSRP and frequently has sales. …

It's just loud Internet people. The Switch 2 is the second fastest selling game system of all time, and is keeping up with the trajectory of the first Switch, which shipped the mos…

Someone putting performance exhaust on their cool car isn't likely to disturb me in my home. You know what is? The doings of obnoxious adtech people.

> Imagine an AI lab steals your voice, and uses it to scam call folks all day. One needn't imagine, because they're already stealing peoples' voices. e.g. the recent HN thread abou…

As an addendum: Japanese isn't as all-in on pitch having semantics as Chinese, but pitch is very important. Words have "pitch accent" rather than "stress" the way English has, and …

Similarly, I have a 2026 Civic: the driver attention doesn't have a camera and ships disabled. Lane departure warnings are toggleable in settings, and it sticks between starts. Thi…

> I've heard plenty of stories of victims of theft and crime literally leading police to the door of their assailant and they can't get any action because this "privacy" movement h…

If someone steals my car, I can open an app and find its precise geolocation better than some cameras, and deliver that information to the police of my own choice. (Ideally, the ca…

Exactly. I don't want to mess with anything, I want an appliance that plays games. I don't want it to do anything other than that either. It must work every time, with every suppor…

Arguably someone who is faster is more likely to just be recalling memorized things faster, while someone who's slower may have a deeper understanding but needs time to actually th…

It's news to me that they weren't already. My exams were all in person and on paper in the early 2020s, and even my physics homework was a "do it on engineering paper and drop it i…

"You can own a printing press, but we'll throw you in jail if you dare to show the printings to anyone." The first amendment is a two way street. Everyone has an inalienable right …

1. Don't assume Meta is anything other than a state propaganda and surveillance apparatus. 2. It's onerous for upstarts, so it entrenches Instagram and Facebook. 3. Guaranteed know…
