Thanks! I hadn’t realized that certain models could have the OS replaced like a regular PC. I was assuming that Microsoft and their hardware partners would do some closed-platform shenanigans to prevent that so I never thought to investigate that option. I refuse to run Windows 11 under any circumstances.

Are there any non-Windows-based handheld consoles that have IPS screens instead of OLED screens, and run Steam games?

Kinda-good news. I went home early because I was legitimately not feeling well enough to work. So I get to enjoy the goopiness with everyone after all.

I’ll miss most of From Beyond due to work schedule, but I wish everyone watching a very freaky fun time!

I’m looking at setting up a funding round for my just-in-time online logistics B2G online platform called “Wrfghtr”. It’s an AI-powered modern b-commerce (the B stands for “battle”) platform to dispatch supplies on an on-demand basis from western US civilian marinas. Those facilities have much lower operating costs than some “big government” shipping port, and we can pass along the savings to the contracting branch of the armed forces. Need some cases of ammo for soldiers landing on a beach? Our platform will determine, using smart AI agents, which boat in that marina can most efficiently fit the required boxes of ammo. And then we’ll dispatch that boat across the Pacific Ocean direct to the point where it’s needed, no cumbersome unloading process needed. This is the power of AI and business leaders acting in tandem.

When the revolution comes, can I have the privilege of leading the group that takes baseball bats to every in-your-face captive-audience-advertising screen that capitalism vomited into the world? I encountered my first one last week at a gas station pump and I honestly have not felt instant violent rage like that in a very long time.

Anything that any Canadian government does regarding Palestine and Palestinians is going to be performative PR. Don’t trust any Canadian politician on this regardless of their election lawn signs’ colours.

Well imagination and realism in kink is always lots of fun, but safety during a scene is paramount.

When they hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards.

Checkmate.

Would be basically be at a pre-transistor stage without QED?

I’ll reserve judgement. That seems a mighty risky place to go to.

Oh my god, so it’s not even something esoteric, it’s literally fundamental to our entire technological world.

The accounting math joke is absolutely correct. And it’s even more damning given that we accountants don’t actually do any complex math beyond what a clever 10-year-old could do.

I don’t know anything about physics aside from what I see/read/hear from pop-science sources, but I’m going to bet that these equations are somehow fundamental to the design of whatever device this twit used to post his anti-intellectualism bullshit.

What Kirkegaard failed to consider was how everyone has a butt.

Easier to recommend than Star Trek the motionless picture, absolutely.

The developers of the Wii Ghostbusters game (the best version because of the motion aiming controls, it’s great fun) knew that the console couldn’t do the semi-realistic look of the game on the other platforms it was also released on. So they made the legitimately-brilliant decision to take inspiration for the Wii version’s graphics from the Real Ghostbusters cartoon. It’s not a straight copy of the cartoon’s look, it’s it’s own thing, but there’s obvious similarities. I’d argue it’s aged the best graphics-wise out of all console versions because it’s obviously leaning in to the stylized look instead of attempting realism.
