What are they going to do, send him to jail?

No matter how you feel about it, he was a fool to make a public post about it.

That's unimpressive, considering it is pretty much the best in that category for now.

I also like how they specified the Steam Deck as purely portable when in reality it is just as much of a hybrid as the Nintendo Switch, yet the Switch is in a category invented just for it so that they can give Snoy the console top spot.

Ah yes, the best way to make your voice heard is to become silent.

If Nintendo went belly up today, Microsoft would buy them.

That'd be kind of sad.

I can't wait to use Microsoft Google Chrome, oh wait...

[–] Willie@lemmy.world 21 points 7 months ago

I'd appreciate that.

The Starfox Adventures trailer was eerie and seemed unfinished.

The Metroid Prime trailer didn't really have much to it, but I guess that's normal for the series now. Haha.

That's super lame, considering the award is titled "Game of the Year" and a DLC clearly isn't a game.

This is like those silly fake IDs that the sovereign citizen goofballs use, and as such it would fail at being an ID in the same ways.

While not helpful for privacy, the truth is that the only reason a state ID has any value is because it comes from a 'trusted' source who verifies the information on it. An ID that isn't issued by a trusted source has no value, as it would be no different from me just asking the person holding it who they are, they can say whatever they like, just as their printed card could say whatever it likes.

Internet without AI easily, because lets be real. If the AI were on the ad free internet, they'd just be the vector for the ads to be distributed. You'd think you're talking to a person, and you'll find you're really talking to a chatbot who is going to try and influence you to buy its operator's products.

There's a country in Europe called Ireland.

I don't know much about the politics and policies there, but what I do know is that if I drop the street view guy there, most places are green and pretty. That puts it pretty high up on my list.

 

So, long story short, I have vision problems, and I need to work closely with my monitor. So I'd like to have a solution where I can grab my monitor and pull it close to my face for use, and push it back over the desk when I am done with it. I don't really know what what I'm looking for is called, or if anything like this even exists. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable in the subject than I am can help me out here.

While I am at it, I am hoping to replace my monitor as well. I would like it if the monitor had a harder material on the screen, rather than the fragile feeling plasticy stuff that computer monitors are normally made of, since my nose frequently bumps the screen, resulting in me needing to clean it often.

Once I remove my current monitor, I will have two displayport ports and one HDMI open on my card.

I am hoping to find a solution that costs less than three-thousand dollars. But with niche hardware like this, I understand that it may be more expensive.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks for reading my post and considering helping me out!
