I can just see them responding to the EU like, “Yeah, we’ll allow other people to build app stores for iOS. They just need a dev account that we won’t approve. That’s not us specifically blocking alternate app stores though.”

I worked as a projectionist when Dark City was coming out and I put that trailer on every single movie that it was applicable to be on. Just so I could watch it 10-20 times a day.

Man, 5%? That’s it?

Apple also intentionally made the green bubble contrast worse so that iPhone users would have eyestrain when conversing with non-iPhone users.

So this is 7 Days to Die then?

Time to make OpenASci?

Only to find that PETA has already stolen the dog and euthanized it, “To end its suffering.”

Strings (2004) movie. It’s a trope-ish fantasy movie, but all of the characters are marionettes. The strings go up to the heavens and are taken into consideration with things like architecture having no roofs, and gates are arches that rise up out of the ground to prevent travel beneath them. Someone gets injured by the string on their arm getting cut, and their arm flops around lifelessly afterwards.

Lol, that was on purpose.

My oldest child was almost born on 4/20, but he decided to cook a little longer.

My wife was so relieved, lol.

I have a GM vehicle I like. I already don’t pay them for OnStar. I’m certainly not going to pay them to replace my phone. And then likely have to pay for cellular access for my car.

Years ago I got the (then) admin account password at work because one of the LAN admins typed with two pointer fingers and I just watched.

What, you don’t do the Trump power handshake? Grip hard and pull to knock someone off balance to show how manly you are? How is she supposed to know you’re the Alpha in the room?

Spore had itself a 3 or 5 installs limit before not allowing you to install it anymore.

No he didn’t really have to keep his head perfectly still and they’re supposed to work fine with glasses. Back when he had a very old 4-core machine, he’d get some lag when he turned on the halo effect, cause it did CPU post processing. But that stopped when he got a current machine.

He never really complained about it being finicky or anything.

My brother had a Tobii eye tracker for a couple years. I think it was the 3 model? It worked well enough. He gave it away cause he got a large ultrawide monitor that it couldn’t work right with.

He used it in a couple games that supported it that we were playing at the time (Division 2, Vermintide) and also used it when screen sharing doing training activities as it would display a small halo to show where he was looking.

Mix a couple into the candy bowl!

So, what, we’re just going to carry around USB antennas now?

For a number of years now, work has been proceeding in order to bring perfection to the crudely conceived idea of a transmission that would not only supply inverse reactive current for use in unilateral phase detractors, but would also be capable of automatically synchronizing cardinal grammeters. Such an instrument is the turbo encabulator.
