The ideas have always been there, it’s just a bottle neck on cheap electronics and people figuring out the foundation technology. I can’t think of to many tech advancements that have surprised me; that’s not too say they aren’t impressive, but just about anything we can imagine is possible.
The main thing I don’t expect to see is useful and reliable brain/electronics interfaces. I think biology is too unique for an of the shelf product to be possible, which means it’s too hard to make a profitable product.
The Australian government is heavily criticised for half-assing fibre internet because they did copper to the house in most cases. We still, a decade later, have one of the worst internet in the western world.
I think satellites are likely much cheaper to deliver internet to a whole continent than trying to run bloody copper.
No such thing as a fish
That’s a plus. I drove a hire car with a joystick/dial/button thing that could control the touch screen. It was so much easier to pay attention to driving while controlling something on screen. With touch screens you need to watch your finger as you press because there’s no tactile feedback.
Ultrasonic wireless communication has been a thing for years. The scary part is you can’t even hear when it’s happening.
Windows started life as a window manager that you installed on top of MS-DOS. It has since grown to be much more, and I don’t think you can criticise it for that.
Also, changing the visual theme is their prerogative. They are not required to supply a “classic” theme, even though they did do that a bunch of times.
I get Lemmy is the bird around here, but if you’re going to bad mouth Windows, at least do it for the many legitimate problems it has.
Windows 8 was when MS were trying to break into the phone OS market to complete with Android and iOS. They wanted to have the “same OS” across phone, tablet, and desktop, which isn’t a terrible idea except for the fact you need to betray your entire desktop customer base to get there.
My favourite part of Linux cli is you only know you’ve done something when you get no feedback at all.
I really enjoyed the second and third films, but I understand they didn’t perform as well.
I’ve heard there was scheduling conflicts with Channing Tatum which explains some of the disjointed character arcs. I guess they’d already advertised Tatum before the conflicts, so they tried to keep him in while replacing his characters story beats with Pedro Pascal.
I was really looking forward to a long running franchise that wasn’t afraid to go full tilt James Bond parody with over the top action.
Sad story.
That’s enough money to have a good life and provide a good life to your loved ones. If he never finds it, he is a crazy man. If he finds it he is a smart man. A normal person can’t earn that much in a lifetime. Even a miniscule chance of finding it could drive someone to obsession.
For the sake of his sanity, and for a good story, I hope he finds it, but I doubt he will.
“unplugged nation” is certainly one way to describe what happened. The monkey very briefly became part of the electricity grid, is another.
Theoretically, yes, but I suspect the manufacturing quality of SD cards is a lot lower than SSDs
And from memory, the number of enemies scales with the number of players. It’s gets pretty hectic pretty fast.
There’s heaps of mods for classic games to turn them into co-op, including Doom (3), half life, quake, aliens vs predator, etc.
I doubt car manufacturers offer the ability to jailbreak their car OS to independent repair shops.
You’re looking for a hacker, not a dude who changes oil.
I think Dead Reckoning is a good, and poignant, concept, but I think it suffers from weak writing.
It suffered a bit from the same issue as the video game Uncharted 3, where they wrote the action set pieces first, then wrote the story to fit them together. I’m not sure if that’s what happened in the writing of Dead Reckoning, but that’s how it felt.
Overall I still liked it, and look forward to the next one, but it isn’t as strong as the previous 3 films.
I liked MI2 better than MI:III
it’s been a while since I’ve seen them, so I can’t really remember why.
I doubt there would be any auto shops that can reliably deal with software side elements that aren’t the dealership, and the dealership would refuse.
Some of the best games are games that no one asked for.
