also it’s not a trivial task to engineer for swapable EV batteries, doing so comes with a whole host of disadvantages / compromises that don’t make sense for most (I guess) consumers right now. It’s not very different from the phone battery issue, except on a huge scale and with much more severe consequences if things go wrong

it has been shown that the MATE-XT upper limb exoskeleton and the MATE-XB lumbar device can reduce users’ effort by up to 30 percent

I guess every little bit helps, but I thought they’d be shooting for something like 50+% at least

do we need to go through the differences in training, aptitude and intelligence between pilots, captains and your neighbor Greg again? Marketing it as “autopilot” to anyone who can sign a car loan is reckless and has killed people and will continue to kill people until they stop

yes, my opinion is that 32gb was the minimum spec for a “pro” system 5 years ago. Nowadays, if 32gb is actually enough as a minimum spec then you’re in “enthusiast” territory in my opinion, not “pro”. Perhaps that’s more telling about my standards as a PC enthusiast though, and about how far PC hardware has come

32gb might have been “pro” 5 years ago but not anymore, not when a run of the mill 32gb DDR5 kit can be had for $100

nom nom nom

right on ShotgunSamurai

well they don’t make everything in gaza, true: https://www.memri.org/tv/jazeera-documentary-hamas-missile-industry-iran-sends-kornet-fajr-missiles-to-gaza-reclaims-munitions

well perhaps they should’ve thought about that before digging up the water pipes provided by international humanitarian aid organizations to make into rockets. If Palestinians want to blame anyone for lack of water, they should start with hamas

btw, hamas made a video bragging about this

edit: according to their own propaganda, these were pipes left behind by Israel “to steal gaza water”, not pipes delivered as aid: https://www.memri.org/tv/jazeera-documentary-hamas-missile-industry-iran-sends-kornet-fajr-missiles-to-gaza-reclaims-munitions

If they’re willing to be reasonable

they’ve shown time and time again, through actions and words, that they are not

that’s what psychopaths realize and exploit their whole life. In a way, all of us non fucked up people are like NPCs in their big psychopath MMO

yep, sure did: https://old.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/5uw5cs

oh it would for simple graphics like graphs/charts, but it’d be worse than useless for everything else like pictures / photos / video. That’s why I mentioned Overwatch as the example, which was the most egregious offender of this. If you turned on the colorblind mode in that game back when it was first introduced, it just chroma shifted all colors making it look like this:

how anyone with a functioning eye and brain ever thought that was the solution is beyond me

best they can do for those, is to offer such filters

well I’m sure some people will find it useful, but in my experience global filters make a global mess of everything without doing much of anything to alleviate the problem. Lucky for people like me, many games already have better options, and in other applications it usually isn’t much of a problem

yeah those ones, they completely mess up all colors and still don’t help

if this changes all colors with a global filter the way that some games like Overwatch (used to) do, then it’s really not going to help anyone. I’m red-green colorblind, so when something is highlighted in red it isn’t as obvious to me as it is to people with normal vision. However, the fix isn’t too globally mess with all the colors, the fix is to let me pick the highlight color so that I can choose what works best for me. Many games have figured this out long ago (thank you game devs!).

I pirate mostly out of convenience, I just want access to whatever media I’m interested in and if there’s a subscription wall between it and me, then more often than not it’s just easier for me to pirate it than bothering to pay for it

Best get the champagne ready

I admit I’ve gotten pretty lucky, but so far buying a house has been great for me

I got a brand new car seat for about €150 a month ago, straight off ebay
