You wouldn't be though. It's 10 hours younger looking (presumably than your actual age, so it doesn't stack)

I saw somebody who did a similar project except the games were actually stored locally, and then the "carts" were 3D printed gameart "boxes" with RFID chips that it would read and use to determine what to load.

My TODO lost includes something similar but with 3D barcodes on the boxes which can be read by a small camera

But you're not actually losing age in this one, just looking 10 hours younger so it wouldn't really stack.

I'm thinking that #7 might be useful in certain policing or security positions, depending on the definition of empty (there's always dust and air).

Got a bunch of containers that need to be inspected? You can cross the ones you can see through off the list.

Also useful for winning the cup-and-ball game

Huh. Learning a fun and cool math trick was not on the list of expected outcomes for today, but I'll take it!

Yeah and the hat grab wasn't nearly as disgusting as his he doubled down on it like it was some sort of power move

I mean, would we even be able to tell it apart from his usual rambling?

[–] phx@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

Yeah I agree. I've used PMOS as well as Lineage and Graphene. The latter was the best experience and PMOS was the one that needed the most work, at least to reach any sort of side adoption.

I'm actually looking at something running SailfishOS as my potential happy mid-point, but currently the Jolla phone - which would be my preferred device for this - doesn't seem to shop outside Europe yet.

That's kinda about power though. Think about going up a pulling a trailer up a hill with a vehicle that has a small engine versus a bigger one.

The small engine vehicle might make the hill, but it's going up gear lower, rev higher, and probably heat up a bit.

The bigger vehicle will handle the hill and load with more grace, but may also use more fuel in everyday situations or cost more.

BG3 is kinda stretching the Deck's engine (APU), and the fans are running like made to compensate for the heat running at 100% for longer periods. I've a few games that stretch the Deck's capabilities so for those I just stream from my more powerful PC

You missed "sex offenders"

Well, if any caucasianswanna experience a taste of racism/discrimination, just head down to certain areas of Richmond, BC Canada

  • Signage only in Chinese (violates language laws)

  • Restaurants that won't even acknowledge your presence (if non Chinese)

  • Realtors that won't show you housing (if non Chinese)

But if course nobody will do anything because to address the issue said seem... racist.

And that's the funny thing. Because people at the top of the racist pyramid generally share the same skin color, ethnicity and/or pants-contents as you, you get to be grouped in as "the oppressor". Even if you share a lot more in common with victims of the same system, complaints are met with decision and ignored.

That's because it's easier to divide and conquer by skin and gender to hide the real class war that exists.

And that's the rub. It's been something warned repeatedly by the security depts of all sorts of corps rushing to "the cloud" (and adopting AI) but has received a deaf ear.

"Do more and save money ... on somebody else's infrastructure". I'm the end, I'm a bit suspect of the saving money but as well, and the "well it's a CANADIAN/EUROPEAN datacenter" means jack shit in the face of the US Gov't and Corps
