Unity isn't necessarily a bad engine but its use rules and cost sure promote a huge amount of slop games mostly from Eastern Europe. Now that it can generate slop without even needing to understand how to program it is only going to get worse. Steam is overrun with such games. They go into those cheap A$$ bundles that no one needs or wants but you see on Humble...

Exactly. And Vmware's calculus is that as long as it has a dozen gigantic clients (governments, huge enterprises) that it can charge whatever it wants, then the small fish aren't worth it.

You are going to be able to heat your house with this, just in time for the next massive heatwave.

My 2nd gen Kindle and my old Fire will still allow me to assign stuff via library management. I can't go to the store or god forbid the "experimental" browser but I can put stuff there and on my old Kindle Fire. I use my 2nd gen in my car at lunch time or before shift at the humane society.

What zApp is that?
There once was a product, called zApp, a portable GUI library over Windows and several Unixes/Linux. Unfortunately the Mac port never came.
Then they sold it to Roguewave, and they enshitificated it - especially the price.

With permanent DST we won't get the stories twice a year.

They'll need the money to settle all the resulting lawsuits.

Hehe, true.

No idea what you want to say.

This satellite is just one.

Here is how the orbits look like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

We have bubonic plague infections every year in the United States. Very, very few, admittedly, but it's not like it's been eradicated. So there's still benefit in studying it.

The more I hear about this so-called "SF Democratic Party," the more I'm convinced they don't speak for the majority of SF voters. Seriously. They seem to be some strange, centrist organization that no voters belong to and nobody knows where they get their money from.

I guess the plan is to let it communicate with the starlink satellites.

Thanx for the info, I did not really dig into the space data center idea.

I guess as soon as you have enough up, your request will go to one that is close and not on the other side of the planet.

Most players use the keyboard. And perfect click is far less relevant than perfect strategy.

Germany comes to mind.
But probably not on a much higher level than Go.

I did play Stratego since ages.

Latency is about a 1/10th of a second if it is a geo stationary satellite, and much lower if it is in a lower orbit.
I suggest to put a half assed complicated request into what ever AI you are using and cout: 21, 22, 23 until the first result pops up.

An additional 1/10th of a second, you won't notice.
