I remember the space shuttle landing at Vandenberg, 200 miles away. We'd always get the double thump from that, and even in the Orange County suburbs it was enough to rattle our windows every time.
It was cool at the time, but it didn't happen very often. Flights regularly going over at supersonic speeds would get old really fast.
The point was even if the disc didn't contain the game itself, it allowed the console it was inserted into to connect to the server and download it without needing a key. If you got tired of the game, you could sell the disc, and someone else would just insert it and it would download again for them.
Putting a printed key in the package instead of a disc that will download the game completely kills your ability to sell the game as used, which is almost certainly the only reason they're doing it that way.
Our IT team has been switching to Macs over the past 18 months or so. Started with the network guys, then sys admins and support desk people. Dev Ops and developers are supposed to be getting them when our machines are next refreshed.
For reference, we're heavily invested in
Yes, and he's also been saying that we'll have full self driving cars by the end of the year for the last 15 years or so. He said that his tunnel in Vegas would be full of self driving Teslas. He said that 10 years ago you'd be able to summon your Tesla from across the country. He said he'd build a hyperloop from LA to SF. He said that we'd have humans on Mars by 2021. He said that he'd have a fleet of over 1,000,000 fully autonomous robotaxis driving around by 2020. He said Tesla owners would be able to let their Teslas be used as taxis that would pay for themselves when the owner wasn't using them.
Elon says a whole lot of stuff. The vast majority of it is absolute bullshit that he's spewing to further his wealth and power. The fact that anyone believes anything that comes out of his mouth anymore surprises me.
I remember a time when Slashdot used to get excited about pushing the bounds of tech and engineering to tackle big problems.
Maybe people are just tired of him spewing absolute bullshit as fact while stealing our money, destroying our government, literally hurting and killing people, and just generally being an unlikable little troll that no one would even care about if he hadn't managed to leverage himself into a fuck ton of wealth and power?
The very concept of a 'wealth tax' is just retarded.
I start a company. It grows. I hire more people. More growth. It's popular, great place to work, sells a bajillion widgets. One day someone decides it's worth $500mm. The next day they seize 80% of my company?
This is different from property taxes how?
We tax unrealized gains there already. Why not do that with wealth as well?
Oh, Windows will love that.
Thanks for explaining to Slashdot what a proxy is. I had no idea.
Same here. And it puts all of this new shit at the top, forcing you to scroll past it each time.
They should have put some effort into fixing whatever memory leak keeps me having to reboot the ting every few days.
I just got an Amber Alert for a kidnapped child in Los Angeles less than 24 hours ago. You'd think that if these license plate cameras were any good at what we keep being told we need them for, they would have caught the guy before needing to send that out.
Or "crime prevention" is complete bullshit, and this is just a convenient excuse to get more warrant-less surveillance on everyone.
No doubt that Bill Clinton is skeezy as hell, but he's specifically requested that the Epstein Files be released in their entirety.
Bill's a perv, but a perv that likes legal aged women.
Gamestop already has those locations in place
Do they? Every single GameStop location near me in Southern California has closed.
The problem is electric motorcycles that are being marketed as e-bikes, and the dumbass parents who keep buying these for their kids. I'd guess 99% of the problems with e-bikes aren't actually e-bikes.
Many of the electric motorcycles that kids are riding around on can exceed 60mph, some of them can get close to 100. Parents are buying these for their kids and letting them loose on them.
Here in Orange County, there was a 14 year old kid on an electric motorcycle who hit an older man while he was doing a wheelie. That man died today from his injuries. The kid's mom had previously been warned by the police that the motorcycle was not an e-bike, and was illegal for the kid to be riding around on. They had a nearly 30 minute conversation with the mom about this, and warned her that she could be held criminally liable if her kid kept riding it.
She's now facing involuntary manslaughter charges because of her idiotic decisions.
And on that note, why should the user be expected to occasionally just have to reinstall the entire OS? Is that a thing with any operating system besides Windows?
Not to mention build quality of the laptop's hardware. The Neo feels like a premium laptop. Very few Windows laptops feel that nice, and none of them remotely close to the Neo's price point feel anywhere close to that nice.
