am i crazy or were the wii guitars like, uncharacteristically good? they’re the only ones i had growing up, and then i bought a ps2 guitar for clone hero recently and it’s TRASH in comparison!

you’re pretty much right! there is a difference, but one fold won’t be largely discernible on something like a piece of paper.

the initial comment was about foldable screens though, which are both expected to fold more then just the once, and are also much more prone to failure as a result of inter-layer stress.

the issue isn’t that you see the screen deforming, rather the tiny deformations you can’t see are causing issues like delamination or seemingly random failure. but hey, extra stretchy screens could, if not entirely fix, at least mitigate this particular problem!

it does though! even for very thin objects like a sheet of paper, bending anything will stretch/squish material depending on whether it’s on the inside or outside of the bend. that’s why paper becomes creased when it’s folded!

an easy way to think about it is with tubes. the inside circumference is always smaller than the outside because when you introduce a curve you’re either lengthening the outside, shortening the inside, or both.

folks use that?

apprentice bench jeweler, but during the day all i really do is wait on customers so i end up with WAY too much free time. i get to make all sorts of cool shit tho!

could you counterattack the ransomware operators by setting up an untold number of sacrificial VMs loaded up with filler files and then infecting them all? at the very least it would bog down their “negotiations” website, which seems to generate a specific ID for each compromised system.

gunfire reborn released each of it’s dlc packs ~1 year apart and i’ve bought all three. going on 4 years since initial release and the game still feels fresh as hell.

i think i remember ellen’s most recent special having some okay bits?

just put some water in there to replace it, no prob bob

no users, but i have blocked 117 (mostly porn) communities and 2 entire instances

i played through the whole of below zero on a deck and it ran swimmingly! i think it was before final release too, so probably not even fully optimized at that point.

so i do torrent stuff when i want to keep it, but the vast majoriy of my media i just stream from whatever shady site i happen to find it on first. it’s too quick and easy.

protip if you ever have trouble finding anything, just use yandex. russia doesn’t give a SHIT about copyright violations or DMCA complaints.
