  • Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be?

    Jump

  • Android doesnt, my S8 can no longer be updated and many apps are beginning to no be supported. I love this phone, all the new ones are way too big.

  • Tesla Fans Furious at Video of Tesla Crashing Into Wall Painted Like Road

  • If I could pass one law, requiring multiple redundant scanning tech on anything autonomous large enough to hurt me might be it.

    I occasionally go to our warehouses which have robotic arms, autonomous fork lifts, etc. All of those have far more saftey features than a self driving Tesla, and they aren't in public.

  • Love my S8, though there are apps I can't run anymore because of how old the OS is.

    Still, I'm keeping it till it dies.

  • I'll have to get 2312, haven't heard of that one. Same universe?

  • That was in the Red / Green / Blue mars trilogy, one of my favorites. Though I think I've seen the concept in other works as well.

    Basically the temp difference between day / night caused contraction of the rail tracks, pushing the whole city forward so it was always just ahead of dawn.

  • I design UI for systems infinately less likely to kill you when distracted than a vehicle interface.

    The only possible glitch is that this is appearing before it was supposed to.

    Being triggered specifically when the vehicle is stopped shows a lot of thought on the cover your ass for saftey lawsuits front, that was no mistake.

  • I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand

    Jump

  • I'm still rocking a galaxy s8 and I love it. Only problem is many of the apps are dropping support and I cant update the os.

    Really not looking forward to a new phone but itll have to happen soon

  • I'll show them

    Jump

  • Quick google search suggests the ads come from same domain as youtube, so wouldnt be blocked.

    Back to muting ads and reading lemmy on my phone

  • I'll show them

  • I watch primaly on my PS4, is there a network based solution?

  • Fallout and RPG veteran Josh Sawyer says most players don't want games "6 times bigger than Skyrim or 8 times bigger than The Witcher 3"

    Jump

  • Yeah, that game gets it right. I played it with the map turned off and the sleep walking perk and had the best time of it.

    Think the second one will finally make me buy a ps5

  • World size, density, and traversal have to be balanced.

    I tend to play without fast travel, and skyrim meets these three pretty well, using the carts and horse for faster travel.

    GTA can be bigger, with cars and planes for long distances.

    Large worlds are great, if they are packed w content, open barren landscapes are terrible.

    Ghost recon wildlands for me is the sweet spot for a big, interesting world with good traversal options.

  • if you've had or have anger issues, how did you become a better human?

    Jump

  • Absolutely, but the question was "how did you", not "how should I".

  • if you've had or have anger issues, how did you become a better human?

    Jump

  • Not likely to help but for me it was joining the military.

    Between the training I received and the situations I faced, nothing in civilian life has really been able to effect me.

    It's been 25 years since I left the service and I can count on one hand the times I've actually been angry about something.

  • Drop your most "wtf that's not how the world works" from movies/tv shows.

  • My shelf is full of Ubisoft games. I'm playing one right now in fact, Farcry 2.

    Thing is, I've bought a lot of them based of my love of the series, and the truth is, all the recent one's have sucked. Farcry 2,3,5, primal, AC black flag, rocksmith 2014, anything splinter cell, ghost recon wildlands, all amazing games.

    Farcry 6, AC anything after black flag, breakpoint, the new rocksmith, I hated them all. Not because I want to see a company fail, but because the games just don't have the mechanics I enjoy.

    I've spent a lot of money in good faith because ubisoft made some of my favorite titles, but I'm done. The only games I might buy at this point on faith are GTA6, Kingdom come Deliverance 2, and Subnautica 2.

    I won't buy anything ubisoft again until I've seen multiple reviews telling me exactly why I'm going to love this one.

  • What is least terrible SmartTV OS for privacy?

    Jump

  • No, I work in corporate AV, so I'm buying higher end digital signage for most applications at work.

    NEC and Philip's I've been using lately, but they are just the cost effective ones now. LG, Samsung, Sony, all make good displays.

    Digital sign usually dont have any smart apps, and if they do you can fully disable them.

    They also have all the advanced features you could want. Serial and TCP api, multiple ports of various formats, auto on with sync detect, etc.

    For personal use, my last three have been Visio from Costco, and while it has the apps, I just never connect to the internet.

    I have seen guides online to open up a display and disable the smart elements, but that seems overkill to me.

    One thing to watch for, I've heard but haven't witnessed that many displays are getting way more aggressive about auto connecting to wifi for sharing data and updates. If someone has unsecured wifi near by etc.

  • Yes and no. This is for parents, so ease of use is a huge factor.

    The processors in smart TVs are often crap, plus who know what updates and monitoring they are pushing on you.

    With a dedicated media device you only have one company to deal with. Personally, I use my playstation for everything, but for my mom a Sony bluray with the apps works fine.

    At the end of the day, they'll want netflix, amazon, youtube, hbo max, etc, and you get a way better experience with a media player vs smart tv. Sony is a known evil as it were, their hardware is good, and they generally don't fuck up firmware updates.

  • If you want a true dumb TV, buy a commercial grade display made for digital signage. Bit more expensive, but designed for 24/7 operation and has none of the smart tv fat.
