I compiled the project on a whim during COVID. It played okay. There was even a very small pool of players who had presumably just done exactly the same thing.

I was a hypocrite even writing that comment; my latest phone ALSO has an FM radio. Guess that reddit-quippiness infected me too much that day, sorry.

Just like with VR, you can keep on claiming forums are "dead" all you like. Me and all my friends will keep on using them daily. therearedozensofus.gif

How did you get it? ... How many titles do you have?! I know there's people like Sir David Attenborough who have three alphabets worth of letters after their name, but I hadn't con…

Good thing you're the majority of people, then.

"It's not" only has two matches; the third is "It's noticable". The other two are a whole paragraph dedicated to "it's not X, it's Y" which is a little more than you'd normally exp…

My ex wife's parents couldn't change a tire. I had to do it for them, once.

That varies VASTLY depending on what skill you're at. At D3 where I am, I'd say maybe 2 out of 3 games have at least one person showing banners or skins that are exclusive to Grand…

How's the P10 camera on graphene? Literally 90% of the reason I'm on a pixel is because I love the low-light smarts that the camera software has, but I don't know if I'll lose that…

Way, WAY too many corporate IT divisions.

Tasks include: looking at rocks, stars.

Your AI-detector needs a calibrate, I think. What made you think it was llm-written?

This is the most concisely-expressed version of the actual concerns for UBI that I've ever seen, thankyou.

While I agree utterly and completely, the possibility of such a case needing a jury is low, when there's almost certainly going to be several camera recordings available from the v…

WASTE became popular in our area just as LANning was ending its heyday. Even now I think the whole course of technology could have been altered if WASTE was utilised in a "corporat…

My parents have a book published in 1849, "The Chemistry of Modern Life" and it's interesting to see how they transition very deliberately between "technical" and then "dumbed-down…

It's telling just how completely successful the social media revolution has been, when we don't remember that two short decades ago 3rd-party car navigation options that relied on …

And then the next kid says "infinity plus two", which is a perfectly acceptable progression, and the cycle starts again.

I had a fig at my work desk for a couple of years. Work moved buildings. The new aircon killed it. No matter how much I watered it, it kept drying out. It was still trying to live …

Not OP, but The Thought Emporium is a personal favourite. Their name belies the hands-on nature of their videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0_q-fD_lyU

Ah, missed that bit entirely, was going mostly on the story of being front and centre and being smiled at - it's an apocryphal story for TGD. Now I"m thinking, the mention of digit…

Based on the story there's a good chance it'll be one of these recordings: https://relisten.net/grateful-dead

A UK trance artist called Deathboy left directory-traversal open on his website about 23 year ago. Since then I've had a lot of mp3's that he's never released or put on albums, whi…

All of mine. Music, photos, copies of important documents, archived sets of email (and gmail) across different eras. My facebook archive export, IRC & IM logs stretching back to ~2…
