What a strange occurrence. I wonder what sent him over the edge. Based on everything said, it makes it sound like this was hastily done in the spur of the moment. Did his wife divorce him? Did he suddenly become disillusioned with Trump?
It would be for DS and Wii U emulators.
I personally would have loved it if they’d actually carried through with physically swappable components. While the touchpads are awesome for games that don’t have normal gamepad support or require faster turn speeds, they just don’t have the same feel as a physical analog stick for the games that do support it.
They’re not swapping by 2040. Geomagnetic poles take an obscenely long time to swap; we’re talkin’ hundreds of thousands of years. What’s gonna happen by 2040 is that Earth’s geomagnetic “North” will line up with “true North”.
The only time I’ve had someone tell me we’re living through the end times was during the whole 2012 thing, but they said it as a joke.
On the other hand, I’ve always had a feeling, even before I was a teenager and started becoming aware of the world outside my little bubble, that humanity won’t be around by 2100. I very much hope I’m wrong.
IO acquired the license voluntarily and had to convince the Bond owners to let them license the IP. So they’re not swinging in the dark. Furthermore, Hitman is basically James Bond with a different coat of paint. I wouldn’t be remotely surprised if all IO did for a tech demo to convince them was reskin Agent 47 and then play through the game as-is.

Google is still working on improving the Terminal app as well as AVF before shipping this feature. AVF already supports graphics and some input options, but it’s preparing to add support for backing up and restoring snapshots, nested virtualization, and devices with an x86_64 architecture.
This is the part I cared about. Can it run x86_64 programs, or is it just an ARM-compatible version of Debian?
If it can actually run x86_64 programs on ARM devices, then that’s kinda fucking sick and would likely help the world transition to ARM. Like, fuck Google, but this sounds like a good thing, maybe?
I unironically want to go back to the days where ads told you what the product was, what it cost, why you should buy it (compared to competitors) and where to buy it. All the cutesy “we’re gonna tell a story” advertising falls flat on its face because, as much fun as the “real deal” can be, 99% of it is designed by committees to reach as big of a spread as they can. It’s soulless. I’d rather my soulless advertising be straight and to the point than some eye-rolling, meandering, soul-sucking corporate garbage that takes 90 seconds to say what it could have said in 15s.
Hey advertisers, quit wasting my time, and your money and quit fucking doing it. The reason why the, “narrative advertising” or whatever you call it, works is because it’s made by a small company and targeted at an equally small community. Chances are, it’s enthusiasts selling to enthusiasts, and they know the people they’re targeting better than you ever could.
You. are. not. a. small. company. You. are. not. enthusiasts. Stop it.
In my experience, having a vr setup with vive body trackers consumes the 2.4ghz band really fast; so there are still reasons to swap in the suburbs, but they’re more niche.
Source: my PC is too far away from the router for wired, so it uses wifi. I had to switch to using 5ghz because my internet would drop out on 2.4ghz whenever I played VRChat.
I’m kinda looking forward to seeing how this pans out. Personally, I’d want to use it to make small, local hobby networks; kinda like how it used to be that basically anyone with a phone line could start an ISP.
I don’t think you understand. Your consciousness is just one process amid a myriad of processes that your brain runs. It’s that continuity that matters. You’re correct that I don’t know if my current consciousness is the same as prior consciousnesses, however what matters is that my brain has never shut off, giving me the feeling as though I am the same person; and it is because of that thread that I am the same person (though perhaps with a different consciousness).
Furthermore, you can’t achieve immortality through digital consciousness if you just copy the whole thing and throw out the original. Again, it’s the continuity. It honestly confuses me why people think that’s a rational idea when the very obvious problem is, “what if something goes wrong and human me wakes up?”
That’s why you have people, like me, who get frustrated when people start getting philosophical about this shit because they think you can “just make a perfect copy” of a person to achieve immortality.
Seriously?
No.
You just killed yourself and made a copy of yourself. You didn’t achieve shit. Your new self might be happy, but your old self is dead. You’re not suddenly going to wake up as a digital clone. You’re not waking up at all, it’s your clone that’s waking up.
And hey, if that’s good enough for you, then so be it. Just don’t pretend you’ve achieved immortality; it was your digital clone that did. You’re still going to die.
It also confuses me that so many people seem to believe that you’re literally brain-dead while you sleep. If you were literally brain-dead then there’d be no way for you to wake up. Sleep seems to be when the brain processes memories too, so if your brain fully shut off, then it wouldn’t be able to processes memories while you’re asleep. Finally, afaik, once the brain shuts off, it can’t turn back on; evolution didn’t plan for a situation in which someone’s been dead long enough for brain activity to cease before their heart starts pumping again. So why does everyone insist that you go brain-dead the moment your head touches the pillow?
“When you’re using a drag queen to recruit for the Navy, that’s not the people we want,” Cao said. “What we need is alpha males and alpha females who are going to rip out their own guts, eat ’em, and ask for seconds. Those are young men and women that are going to win wars.”
Dude, you’re talking about the Navy, lmao. I can’t imagine any place in the Navy outside of the seals where you’d need or even want high-on-testosterone meat heads. Even then though, you severely underestimate a gay man’s (or woman’s) ability to be a 'roided-out meat head.
Heh, thanks. Apparently he did it for me as well. What a concerning individual.
Ew. What is wrong with you? That is so extremely disrespectful.
No, I’m not asking you to answer my question, I’m asking you to re-examine your life.
How do you see what subs someone runs? Not saying you’re wrong, just wanna see it for myself. That seems like a pretty crazy thing to do.
Probably. If you’ve ever been under anesthesia then you’ve probably noticed the difference between sleeping under anesthesia and sleeping under normal conditions. Personally, I normally get the feeling that time has passed when I sleep, I didn’t have that feeling when I had my wisdom teeth removed; and anesthesia still doesn’t turn your brain all the way off. I’m pretty sure if your brain actually turned off all the way and then turned back on again, then you’d probably feel like you’re a different person.
Except our brains are still functioning. If they didn’t keep functioning, we’d be brain dead. The point is that there’s a common thread that connects every waking moment together.
Your brain is still functioning while you’re asleep. If it turned off all the way then you’d become brain-dead.
I’m so torn.
On the one hand, let people play games on shitty setups without shaming them.
On the other hand, what a fucking loser, lmao.
