I’ve ranted about this so much to people close to me. Scientific community just needs to adopt a new word like you say, theory is a lost battle

But why? These were never more popular than traditional mice

Sounds like you’re a millennial with gen alpha kids. The latest generation is struggling to read and write, while millennials are the best typists

This happens to me when I add a word to the dictionary but it happened to be the first word of a sentence at the time I added it, so it got capitalized and now the dictionary thinks it’s a proper noun

T9 just adapted the earlier lettering that phones already had on the numbers. ‘1-800-COL-LECT’ Never intended you to type it as ‘1-800-222666555-555332228’, you’d just dial 1-800-265-5328. but that’s what you’d have to do to write it with T9.

I didn’t see a single hitscan weapon in the entire trailer. Even the sniper was leading shots. Chaingun seems to be back for all weight classes instead of a dozen different ‘assault rifle’ weapons with short mags. Maybe they actually learned their lesson on how to make a tribes game this time.

It was severely mismanaged as early as the closed beta. I think they failed the execution so heavily that honestly the best option was to sunset it. The big blue update or whatever was actually a pretty pro-consumer move all things considered.

I might be ready to forgive them if they can execute this time. No f2p seems a little too reactionary especially in the current climate of fortnite, Apex, overwatch 2, Valorant, cs2, etc, but I’m cautiously optimistic for now.

I’d be happy if I could land a web dev role for 40k at this point

I don’t know where you got that idea, there’s definitely a mic on the bottom. The top mic hole is just for noise cancellation. Google even has an interactive diagram here https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/7157629?hl=en#zippy=%2Cpixel-pro

I don’t really agree at all.

The overwhelming majority of people are going to be calling from a cell phone with data access now. It’s time to consider including data access to emergency services w/ emergency roaming functionally just like we do with calls and sms. A system can and should be built out to provide emergency gps, video + information services like we described and live video calls. We have the technology we just have to cut through bureaucracy.

Providing advanced smartphone functionality in emergencies could be hugely beneficial.

Ok here’s a response. I pirated cyberpunk on release fully expecting it to be buggy. I enjoyed bits of it at the time but I stopped because it was too buggy and unpolished.

This is CD Project Red’s track record, but somehow everyone forgot about how bad Witcher 3 was. I expected this 2.0 update eventually and I’m glad they started another marketing push, so that I can know it’s time for the game to actually be ‘done’. Obviously they paid streamers to show the game, that’s no secret. But also it looks genuinely better, just like Witcher 3. So I’ll probably actually buy it next time it goes on sale, after pirating it to see if it’s worth it now.

Meanwhile Starfield looks exactly like the milktoast Skyrim reskin I expected it to be, with nothing really standing out. Bethesda has been slowly comodifying their games since Morrowind -> Oblivion then followed an obvious template since Skyrim. It really shows in their boring designs.

Cyberpunk was trying to do too much, but Starfield isn’t doing enough.

They should also be able to rapidly provide instructional video in the year 2023

After you get it set up pirating is basically zero time. There’s some up front time costs learning how to automate everything but after that? Yar har

Ok Grandpa it’s time for your nap

Dude its a green text calm down

Kelce’s rumored relationship with the “Blank Space” singer sent Swifties (fans of the singer — which includes me) into meltdown.

Who the fuck writes like this? This is just SEO keyword drivel. Great, now the article might appear in searches for the song title and ‘swifties’ but it reads like the author had a stroke mid article and couldn’t remember who they were talking about

I watched multiple tech reviews bend the thing in their bare hands. Just because you didn’t damage yours doesn’t mean it wasn’t a huge issue

If that were the case there wouldn’t be such a massive variance in the amount used. I’d love to see these studies though since so many seem to exist

That’s not the target usecase for the deck or for cs2. It’s cool that it’s possible and really showcases how flexible and capable the deck is, but valve has no obligation to support or optimize for it.

Cs2 is quite optimized for a typical Windows gaming PC, aka the target platform. I get well over 300fps on my midrange build. Valve is putting a lot of extra work into proton configurations to get Windows games working well out of the box on the deck, it’s perfectly fine that they haven’t done that specific work for the deck yet, if at all.

I’m sorry to say but you’re an outlier. Most people with decks aren’t typically docking them, and even less are docking them as a desktop replacement. For me it’s a portable with the flexibility of easy couch coop but I never want to have to use a mouse and keyboard on it.

Controlling scope of supported systems to ones that are most commonly used is the smartest thing they could do. There’s a reason cs2 isn’t supporting consoles this time around and it’s telegraphing great things for the game this time. They aren’t making the same mistakes they had to correct with cs:go on launch.

1. The nitrogen is to keep them from going stale in oxygen. The amount of nitrogen across various chip manufacturers ranges from 19% gas all the way to 59%. That discrepancy range is where the psychology comes into play.

2. The gas is partially pack fill to keep them from getting crushed, obviously. My whole point was that it is significantly more gas than necessary for pack fill.

Fact is if you make the package look bigger, people think there’s more. There’s a reason we have laws about unnecessary slack fill. Nice try though, Dwight
