Your honour, my client only shook the Magic 8 Ball because the packaging told him to, there was no intent to harm.

It should have, but Microsoft managed to change it at the last minute.

Maybe it’s true, maybe not, but it’s entirely plausible. A good intelligence agency would pull that kind of shenanigans. And the Israeli have a good reputation in that regard. And the Orange Menace would totally fall for it, of course.

They made a Palm Pilot, nice.

There should be a questionnaire:

• Are you, or have you ever been a member of a Russian or Soviet Intelligence agency?

If you answer no, you’re good.

I’m fine with a connected headset. I’m not fine with having to connect to Meta to use a device that used to work just fine, and which no longer works, because Meta has decided, for some reason, that it wouldn’t let me connect and enable it. That’s just artificial walled garden bullshit and they can fuck right off. So anyway, it’s been in storage for years now.

It was promising when it was Oculus. When they got bought by Meta, it went downhill real quick (unsurprisingly). So I’m waiting on Valve, hoping they’ll manage to keep prices vaguely affordable…

Unfortunately I used the Oculus CV1, which Meta has kind of locked out (I suddenly needed an account that I couldn’t activate back then), and which doesn’t run in Linux. So until the new Steam gadget comes out, I’m out of the VR scene :(

Only VR games really gave me that feeling. It was really a near complete teleport to elsewhere… and with a relatively quiet game, it could make for a nice vacation.

Unfortunately he left it in his other trousers.

He probably should have stuck with the Metaverse, I’m sure it would have worked eventually. I mean maybe, who knows…

Also, more and more products will let you know until when they guarantee production of spare parts (it’s also driven by regulation of course).

Presumably the germans must have lobbied tooth and nails against this.

So you’re saying one’s looking good?

Or movie production, or space exploration, or…

Obscure reference is obscure.

I used to copy Apple II games, and they ran in 48k and often shared a floppy. Some even did vector graphics, which was kind of like deep black magic back then. The Amiga (which could actually do graphics properly) people will tell you similar stories.

That AI ought to be stuck on a floppy for a few years to teach it some manners.

Just bend over until your hair touches the floor.

You don’t actually have to maximise your windows, you can just set them to your favourite ratio.
