Some old Slashdot vet not only imagined a Beowulf cluster of those, but actually went out and did it. Respect.

N64 games were $70 in the 90s. We’re still way below that with inflation

I was going to say this (it’s a great movie), but grave of the fireflies is still better

I still don’t think that one was actually the EU’s doing. Macs got USB C before most PCs, iPads had it for a long time before iPhones, and iPhones switched over 10 years after Apple announced lightning saying it would be their connector “for the next decade”

Yes, with a few relatively minor exceptions (the charging mat is the only one I can think of) Apple doesn’t even really announce things that aren’t pretty close to being done, let alone advertise. For hardware generally within a couple weeks and major software more like 6 months

I’m an iOS developer and pretty heavily bought into Apple’s ecosystem and I thought it was really weird for Apple to be advertising all these features that weren’t even in beta yet.

It was false advertising and I expect better from Apple.

I believe these are sharp’s memory in pixel lcds. They’re much lower power than something like the game boy screen as each pixel retains its state and doesn’t need to be refreshed from the controller constantly. I actually like these little screens quite a lot. Worse pixel density and don’t look as good as e-ink when static, but still really Low power and can refresh way faster and smoother when needed.

I mean, I was a kid in the 90s and I feel like we’re behind what I expected in most respects.

I searched for pictures of Uranus recently. Google gave me pictures of Jupiter and then the ai description on top chided me telling me that what was shown were pictures of Jupiter, not Uranus. 20 years ago it would have just worked.

I did this at 12 years old back in the 90s. Never lost my ability to type qwerty, either. Completely worth it.

The dose makes the poison. I have seen people go from helped by prescription adderall to completely paranoid and detached from reality at high doses.

It can be both bad for him at his dosages and good for others, and I think most people here have understood that, though maybe I’m being optimistic

I think you mean it became clear In 2018. Honestly if you were paying attention it was well before that, but that was big news. Even that article mentions him repeatedly coming under fire for his comments on twitter

I love driving a 3 pedal. I’m hoping for genuinely eco fuels or maybe Mazda being the crazy person in the room and releasing (another) hydrogen burning wankel so it doesn’t have to disappear from this world. I don’t mind using an electric car for a daily driver but sometimes I want to have fun.

Actually appropriate here: he allegedly stole pre-release Blu-rays.

I would still buy this just because

I think before. Pedo submarine comment was 2018 and I believe this was 2017. He had made crazy comments but nothing was big news at that point iirc

They could have at least read up about him if they were going to name drop, it was clear if you paid attention back then how bad he was, though it was more understandable for someone not paying attention to not know

Plus, every time you bring it up (such as this thread) a large number of the responses are of the “not all men” sort. And yes, not all, but more than enough, and those comments are the opposite of helpful

For me the production was unlike anything I had seen to that point. Just incredible. Gameplay, however, did little for me. Perfect game to watch someone else play in my book

Tankless heater; this will never happen.
