Governments wanting to identify and regulate speech under the guise of protecting children

It took me about 5 seconds to get the joke (about the time to grab and put my glasses on so I could read all the text)

The incel slope does seem to have a lot more members lately, whether due to social media or guys bitter from failed relationships, bit I will note that there's an old adage that still often rings true

"Men will fight each other physically sometimes to the point of bloodshed, but women will tear each other down socially without mercy"

Many will have married already, so choices when I was in my 30's tended to be:

  • Somebody who didn't marry because they really were careful about who they want to date or settle down with. This could be fine, but could also mean unrealistic expectations or some issue that hadn't worked through previously (I was in the latter boat)
  • Somebody who married and divorced, possibly due to a relationship that went bad. They may be the cause of that, the victim of it, or other circumstances. Increased chance of kids and ex issues
  • Married but the spouse passed away (30+ is increased chances for previously unknown medical issues to crop up, it just a car accident)
  • Somebody who didn't have it together enough (in their mind) to even consider relationships. Could have been persuing a career or took a bit to get past the "wild party" stage
  • Immigrants. People who worked to get out of one country and to another and relationships weren't in the cards yet. There can be possible language/cultural miscommunication hurdles (including different social cues)

I wouldn't say it's the dregs. Just that one's choices have changed a lot from "the one a couple houses/lockers down from you".

Yeah, seriously. Nvidia is too busy fucking over the consumer PC market to be interested to produce a CPU that'd sell in that same market. My bet is that any CPU they release would be targeted at cloud/AI as well.

Yup, but those are the cases that make the news. There's always gonna be some stupid/lazy ones

The HMD served as a Bluetooth (or related protocol) hub for the peripherals. Also wondering if the Frame will use lighthouses Pl like Index does or have the tracking from the HMD like Oculus and newer HTC's do. I'm hoping for that with accurate hand/finger tracking

Went from "build to ship in 2026" from "we'll ship in the first quarter/half of 2026" though... so that's not great

AI in the legal field could be useful for assisting an actual legal professional in compiling precedent based against on-the-books laws, so long as it cites sources and they verify them.

In the medical field, it could be useful for spotting anomalies between multiple images such as X-rays or cross-referencing medical documents WHEN USED BY A PROFESSIONAL.

But the thing is, it should be a tool - carefully used - to enhance the existing profession, not replace actual professionals.

Controllers but not the Frame itself? I want a modern VR headset that runs without a tether and ISN'T produced by an evil cloud/social-media company

"I have usernames older than you" is actually a pretty sick burn

What's the common way for updating these? I have some similar devices that use Wi-Fi but local stores seem to use some sort of nearby transmitter pointex towards the shelves, maybe infrared/optical
