It also breaks other stuff like being able to output video to portable video glasses. A relatively niche use now, but something that will pick up considerably over the life of the console.

Having a floating 4k screen that you can put anywhere at any size is pretty nice. Don't have to look down at your hands or hold the system up to a comfortable eye line.

I do hope that at some point they open it up a bit more. And maybe only exclude stuff that would damage the system, which is ostensibly the -given- reason for locking it down. While of course, the real reason is likely a licensing opportunity.

I do still buy their stuff. But it has been more and more often lately that I buy it and then feel ok about emulating it to add in stuff like 4k 120 fps or VR/stereoscopic or whatever.

That's more late 90's sports car. But it is at least closer, hehe.

Yeah, what I really want is a little electric late 80's/early 90's sports car. With modern safety features. I don't care if it doesn't have insane range, I drive less than 5000 km a year. I miss the look of that era of sports cars. It doesn't -need- to have pop-up headlights, but think of how much more responsive and useful they could be now.

My current car is a mark 3 supra, even if I could convert it to electric, the safety features are also pretty outdated.

They wouldn't be using the naked eye to spot the balloons. While I certainly am on the skeptical side that this happened. It is closer to being plausible than it originally seems. There are just some suspect details.

Yeah, even "powerless" narcissists need someone to feed their ego, and will eventually turn on that person and need a new one.

It's just worse when the narcissist has power.

I guess we better get ready for some SLAMing.

It is likely akin to sunk-cost. They have already spent so much of their life having a thing to point at, that they don't want it to have been wrong the whole time. Even though it was known to be wrong pretty much right away, that was already too late for some.

Some mindsets require assigning blame to an external locus in order to move on. There has to be no chance it was "their fault" even though it's hard to really describe genetics as such...

There hasn't really been anything else to suggest a fixed external potential source. So if this one is proven wrong, they are out of options. Ignoring, of course, that it has already been proven wrong. But, that is the reason why they feel it hasn't. Because it's so very important to them that it is right.

And of course barring all that, even the most profoundly affected individuals with Autism rarely blame their condition for the lowered quality of life, if any, they blame their surroundings or surrounders incapability of adjusting to their needs. With proper surroundings and surrounders, even at it's worst, the downsides are manageable and the upsides can be really nice/useful.

Obvious plant does park posters as well.

The logo and style are so similar to an obvious plant poster. But I can't find if this is an old logo of theirs or just a new person doing the same thing.

Map data obtained and converted from other formats often ends up accidentally condensing labeling categories. One result is train tracks being categorized as generic roads instead of retaining their specific sub-heading. Another, unrelated to this, but common for people that play geo games is when forests and water areas end up being tagged as the wrong specific types.

I just grab an app that lets it increment by amounts other than 10%. Not as good, but doesn't need root. If I gotta change the volume by alot, I drag the bar. Otherwise I just leave the button at 1% increments. Cuz yeah, my volume is like 1% to 5% most of the time, until I need to watch a youtube video, then it's like 70%... then the next thing I do on my phone after the youtube video renders me temporarily deaf and everyone within a mile glares at me.... and I turn my volume back down to 5% or less again.

Not sure why every single other thing on the phone uses a different standard for volume than video does.... just a new loudness war I guess.

 

I assume they are two separate patents by two separate companies, but once those are both on the same can opener, there will be no reason to buy any other manual can opener. So when is the first one expiring?
