Bird up!

SteamVR is great also, provides a native VR system that Epic doesn’t have

Personally, I said fuck the grid and built my own solar power without it. I have separate grid power too.

Nope, I have a lot better things to do than look at a tiny handheld screen.

I don’t have any of those devices, but I have observed the test I described showing the voice recognition being performed.

Ask Siri if she knows who you are. Let another person ask Siri anything. Then ask Siri if it’s doing voice recognition to identify your voice.

There are a lot of companies already doing voice recognition on our audio data, but you don’t hear much about it.

It seems like China is putting a lot of efforts into becoming environmentally cleaner in the last few years though. I’m hoping that they’ve finally realized that pollution is bad.

Well here we are, with all the signs of everything going as badly as possible fully present. Goddamn evil robot sentries guarding the fascist dictator-wannabe’s personal luxury habitat. At least down there, if one of those things malfunctions and hurts somebody it would have to be one of the worst people around.

This is certainly not the future I dreamed of as a child and young man.

I think my mom still uses the last CRT TV that I had. Gave it to her when I bought my first 720p HD TV, as the old CRT was better than her old TV. Later on I also gave her that HD TV but she still has the CRT too.

So Teams calls of 1-4 people can send traffic direct peer-to-peer if they’re on the same LAN right?
Do all calls of 5+ users stay centrally hosted on the cloud? These are the kinds of things that MS should document and make easily available for IT and firewall admins. Finding info on Teams ports wasn’t easy in my experience.

They were all ancient ladies with curly grandma-fro hairdos at ours

I see cash businesses all the time that can operate without power or Internet. Festival / market vendors, food trucks, etc. It’s not hard to count money, give change, write down a receipt if needed.

That would be no problem, unless your electricity is unreliable and you don’t have a UPS. I rarely use the power button on any of my PCs or Macs, except the one old PC that can’t do S3 sleep anymore (crashes on wake).

Are y’all not using sleep mode? Also the Apple M-cpus are extremely power efficient so leaving it on without sleep mode is a perfectly fine option too.

Just like a Raspberry Pi needs a dongle for a power button, except the Mini has one already.

Yeah the Max Headroom show covered this topic back in 1987

Randomgal BLASTS the article by pointing out that renzev SLAMMED it with reasoning

Right, the name Marathon should not have been put on a PvP online only game. The real Marathon game series was a major pioneer in the single player FPS genre and this new PvP shit is highly unlikely to be anything like it.

Bungie took a bad wrong turn when they went all-in on online-only games. I bought Destiny 2 before it went F2P and never finished much of it just because it was just too much bullshit to keep up with for me to enjoy the game. I don’t have time to organize raid parties and shit, I just want to hop into the game and have fun.

Nextcloud has a Notes app too

A Faraday cage is supposed to be grounded, so aluminum foil isn’t the same thing. Maybe you could turn the phone off, wrap it in foil, and then place it upon a conductive metal surface that is grounded, such as a 240v kitchen appliance
