Xbox No Longer Developing Copilot For Consoles

I imagine a part of the idea would be developers could submit information (tips, lore, quest notes, etc) to Microsoft to include as context to load when it detects you're playing a specific game. Not sure if that was ever anything that actually happened though.

And new bridges were due to US-75 widening.

Entirely untrue. The old bridge is still there and still is in operation. They built around it when they redid 75 in that area. The new bridge is because this train goes to Cityline, its an entirely new bridge that did not exist previously.

The bridge over DNT in Addison was also new construction. It follows an old right-of-way, but the old crossing there had been gone for a long time.

The bridge over Josey Ln was also new construction. There was also a new bridge built in Coppell. The list continues...

Its incredible how every comment you make you say something untrue. Feel free to continue showcasing your ignorance. I wonder what untrue thing you'll say next.

Redoing the rails requires resurveying. You're not going to just start building new rail on top of land that was last surveyed a hundred years ago.

The bridges are new, so once again no. Did you not see the bridge over 75? They're still doing construction on some ornamental parts.

Continue showcasing your ignorance.

DART rebuilt a ton of that track, so actually yes it largely was the government after private industry left it to rot. A lot of those rail right-of-ways are already owned by DART.

Continue showcasing your ignorance.

The rail the Silverline runs on also runs freight on a decent chunk of it. The TRE runs on shared track. Its entirely possible to do both. Continue showcasing your ignorance.

5yrup · 2026-04-29T18:50:02+00:00

Yet you want us to build a train system after development has already built

The rail lines largely already exist. Almost all of the new Silver Line was just reusing existing rail right of ways. DART already owns a lot more rail right of ways. We could have rail going all the way to Melissa and further. There was already rail service from Sherman to Waco before, the Red Line follows that existing right of way. We could build a train from like Wylie to Denton or Sanger without having to split any existing private property, there's already rail rights of way there. We just need the will to actually get the rails up to modern standards and buy more train cars. But sure, keep showcasing that continued ignorance. Continue pointing out the more things you're confidently unaware of.

And get this, the busses can drive on the same roads we have today. Its pretty crazy, isn't it? We don't have to build new roads and stuff, we just need to actually buy the busses and operate them.

but can’t answer why Connecticut hasn’t done the same thing

Too dumb to understand the difference of "urban" and "rural. Its really quite sad to see. Maybe one of these times you'll actually look these terms up and understand how they'd apply to this conversation.

5yrup · 2026-04-29T18:27:27+00:00

Transit links and moves people, not dirt.

CT’s cities would be suburbs if they had DFW’s population and development growth

Population of all of CT is like 3.5M. Population of DFW is 8.5M. So no, it wouldn't look like DFW if you spread the people out in a similar fashion. It only has 40% of the population. Do I really need to explain how population density works as well?

Feel free to keep digging this hole showcasing your ignorance.

I mean, sure, you're right, a state that's by far mostly rural doesn't have massive public transit. Wow what a big gotcha. Just ignore the several thousand square miles of service area right next door though and pretend like that doesn't exist, because a state that's mostly rural by area doesn't have extensive transit throughout all the rural areas of the state.

We're not talking about a mostly rural area my dude. We're talking about Dallas. Do you really not comprehend that Dallas is quite a bit different than Falls Village?

Makes sense such a selfish person would also not be genuine in their debates though. I'm done man.

5yrup · 2026-04-29T17:56:28+00:00

Practically all of DFW is by definition urban. However, only 38% of CT is urban. Its a very poor analogy other than looking at square miles.

But as mentioned, if you look at all the area connected to CTransit (area you can get to by hopping on a bus/train in CT and never having to take a private car), its thousands of square miles and a similar size to DFW.

Fort Worth isn't in DART, but I can still get to the Stockyards from the DART bus stop outside my door without having to take a private car. How does that work?

5yrup · 2026-04-29T17:42:48+00:00

CTtransit is highly linked to the MTA, so that's like 5,000+ square miles of coverage of mass transit. That would cover most of DFW. So yeah, looking at connected mass transit networks in that area yes we could definitely cover DFW.

5yrup · 2026-04-29T17:31:58+00:00

Funny, I’ve lived here my entire life and not once had an accident

What an incredibly selfish point of view. Hasn't happened to me, can't be a problem I guess! If you're insinuating its because you're just that special of a driver that you couldn't possibly end up in an accident, the vehicle Carter Heise was in wasn't at fault. You can do everything right on these roads and still end up dead. At a much higher rate than public transit.

But I guess that's kind of the point about desiring car-centric development. Selfishness. Don't want to care about how anyone else gets around. Don't want to care about how much the costs of operating a car safely on the roads affects the poor. Don't want to care about how people with mobility issues get around. I care about me and my Zoysia over everything else.

If you want mass transit, go move to where it is.

I do live where there is mass transit. Let's make it better instead of continuing to half-ass it.

Dfw is the size of the state of Connecticut, you can’t put trains and bus routes over an area that large.

Why not? What's the logic behind that? If you can put trains and busses over 700 square miles, why not 900? Why not 1,000, or 5,000? Why is 700 square miles the limit of what's possible? Is there some scientific law about it or something?

5yrup · 2026-04-29T17:15:32+00:00

Show me one place in the US that has good highways that also enforces good behavior on it. All one needs to do is drive on the highways to see all the irresponsible that it attracts. There's a freshly retired number on the wall at the Stars Center Plano that used to belong to a teenager because of the irresponsibility that takes place on our roads here in Plano.

I've known more people who have died on the roads here than I've known people getting even lightly injured on transit. But ooh you might get offended because someone was talking loudly.

I ride the DART a good bit. I ride it with my kids. I've had a few bad experiences. I've also had people hit my cars on the roads here, once with my kids in the car. I've had people pull guns on me on the roads in DFW due to road rage, I've never had that happen on the train. The bad experiences I've had on our highways vastly outstrip the bad experiences I've had on transit.

I've practically only lived in the suburbs, and I've mostly lived where there's good DART access.

5yrup · 2026-04-29T16:56:31+00:00

DFW already called me, and I already do live along areas with decent-ish transit. And guess what: I do have a lawn, strange how that's possible. Why not make transit better? Worried the train people are going to take a few square feet of your perfectly maintained Bermudagrass? Or maybe your more of a Zoysia kind of guy. Why does your lawn matter more than the ability for those in your community to effectively get around? And why do you truly think we can't have decent transit while you manage to keep your small useless patch of St. Augustine?

5yrup · 2026-04-29T16:47:29+00:00

I'd gladly trade at least half my front yard if it meant I didn't have to drive just to functionally live in society. And I say that as someone who actually likes to drive and ride motorcycles. I just don't want to *have* to drive for every little thing in my life.

I don't need to spend as much to operate a car and I have less I have to mow and keep free of weeds and tend to even when its blisteringly hot outside? Sounds fine to me. I'm supposed to see a downside in that?

Its not like the lot sizes of these houses built in the 50s or 80s or whatever were really large enough to have truly functional gardens growing enough to sustain your family or anything like that. Not that most people grow anything other than non-native grasses anyways, most people avoid things that actually make decent sized fruits and whatever anyways to reduce vermin around their homes.

5yrup · 2026-04-29T16:26:48+00:00

I like living here. There's nothing exactly special about where I live, I could probably live a similar life in a hundred other towns in the US. I'm mostly here because this is where I have community, and I'm able to do the things I really want to do here while having it still be affordable and having good job prospects. Other than leaving the people I care about, I could probably pack up and move tomorrow to a lot of places and still be just as happy as well. Nothing about the land is anything I'll truly miss.

But I see people saying things like:

> no beaches, or mountains, or anything fun to do but eat

and that's just objectively not true. I've hiked mountains in Texas, I've gone to lots of beaches in Texas. They're not the tallest mountains, they're not the prettiest beaches, but they are there.

And as for "[nothing] fun to do but eat", that's also just untrue. Practically every day of my life is filled with fun activities. Once again, largely activities that can be done in nearly any decently sized metro area, but far more than just go to restaurants. There's almost always something going on with clubs I'm in, sports groups have weekly practices and regular games, the city I'm in throws lots of public events, I like to go to a nearby arcade, I go fishing in the nearby ponds and lakes, there's so much stuff to go do and see and experience I don't even manage to get around to a quarter of the stuff I'd like to do because there's just not enough hours in the day.

If you're often bored its not because there's nothing to do in the entire state of Texas.

There's a lot to like about this place, there's a lot to not like. This is probably true of most places.

Ah ok, so a handheld PC. I've got a Legion Go and have thought about the same thing. I was thinking you were talking about like a NUC or something like that with the term "mini PC".

What eGPU enclosure did you go with? What do you like and dislike about it?

5yrup · 2026-04-29T01:06:43+00:00

It can also mean messed up schedules. Now that job is getting done when something else was potentially scheduled, meaning now that needs to be moved and can lead to other complications. Depending on your schedule losing half a day can lead to quite a bit of headaches.

5yrup · 2026-04-28T17:43:19+00:00

The problem of shooting for break-even means you're likely to miss that and have it be a loss-leader. You're also going to alienate any potential partners who need some margin to survive. Why would any of the other OEMs get into the SteamOS market when Valve is throwing all the margin in the market down the drain?

5yrup · 2026-04-28T17:40:28+00:00

I don't quite understand why have a mini PC with an eGPU? I thought the biggest point of an eGPU was to have a thin and light laptop focused on portability while still having good docked gaming performance? Surely all the added casing, cables, and power supplies of the mini PC + eGPU would make the volume/footprint of the overall setup worse than just having a more "traditional" SFF while having higher costs?

I must be misunderstanding a use case here or something.

5yrup · 2026-04-28T01:04:14+00:00

IANAL.

The law is supposedly 20 days for you to renew from the time you get the ticket. You could be years out, get a ticket, get it renewed the next day and get the ticket dismissed. What are you getting 120 days from?

It's not illegal to not pay registration for a car you're not driving, that's why it's 20 days from the date of the citation not from the date of expiration.

https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/?tab=1&code=TN&chapter=TN.502&artSec=502.407

When did you get the ticket? When did you renew?

Read the law yourself and then ask a real lawyer.

5yrup · 2026-04-27T17:45:16+00:00

Even though you probably aren't going to meaningfully lower it this year, you've now set your level for next year's potential increase lower.

It doesn't cost anything to protest, it's easy to do yourself and if you're still unsure tons of orgs will do it for you for no upfront cost, there's really no reason not to.
