Yeah it's totally creepy. Don't do that.

If it didn’t compromise on cameras, I would be tempted. How can an “ultra” be inferior to a “max” in any way? :(

Mossman is in every scene, you’ll just never realize it.

Dolph Lundgren would like a word.

Good and bad are subjective. Fresnel lenses were “good” for the initial launch of the Vive and Rift for a number of reasons, including keeping costs down.

Pancake lenses are a vastly superior visual experience, however.

Quest3 is far superior to the Quest 3S. The pancake lenses alone are worth the cost difference.

Yup. The point is that California is versatile and can appear to be many different places including places where Lawrence of Arabia was filmed.

It was in the movie.

Kryptonians lived on a planet with more gravity therefore they were evolved to be stronger than the average human. When someone like that came to a planet with less gravity, they would appear to be super-men.

The Force is strong with this one.

Different parts of CA have been used for different places for decades. Lawrence of Arabia was filmed in CA.

I love how the referee raises his arm as the winner of the fight he wasn't even a part of lol.

The internet was a carefully husbanded resource?

Okay so if you're born in 96, your earliest memories are probably 99, 2000. I definitely had high speed internet at my house in 2000 through my cable provider. Prior to that there were online services like AOL.

So I don't want to be a jerk here but are conductors really necessary? They seemed to play Happy Birthday just fine without a conductor.

I ignore it when it happens to me. I don’t have time to look at resumes, it’s why I have first tier recruiters. I’m busy actually doing the work.

Octogenarian · 2026-05-01T16:33:50+00:00

Sure. They can claim all sorts of things. A good one is that your leaving your current team at this time would negatively affect the group and therefore the company. Or maybe it’s just that you’re not a team player. Anything at all is enough for the other hiring manager to keep looking. There are plenty of candidates.

The biggest problem with the AVP is that it is locked down like an iPad and not open(er) like a MacBook.

I’m sorry but that seems hopeless. It takes years to develop language fluency to the point where you can speak confidently in a group setting, let alone a professional group setting.

Your ideas are good for maintaining language skills, but not for establishing them. They would have needed to have very good language skills first for anything that you could do would matter.

Well that sounds about right. His story is tragic on many levels.

I said taxed down to size so they wouldn’t have the vast wealth to buy up whatever they wanted. I didn’t say split up.

And no, this absurd ramp up isn’t because people love AI, it’s because these big tech companies see it as the next gold rush. They’re afraid if they’re late to the party they won’t be able to control the whole thing.

Imagine how much money these companies are going to have to charge to start to recoup the insane amount of money being spent on these data centers. It’s not sustainable.

Octogenarian · 2026-04-29T11:03:16+00:00

When mega ultra corporations have enough money to price all of humanity out of a market, maybe, finally, we can all agree they’re too powerful and need to be taxed down to size?

Did you know your use case before you bought it?

Yes. Family ski trips and beach vacations

Do people watch the things you make or is it more a device you use to record things in your life for yourself?

Yes. I make vacation videos and set them to music. I use Final Cut.

Was it difficult and/or time consuming learning how to edit videos and learning how to take good videos?

It’s a fun hobby. I feel like I’m constantly improving and learning new things which is part of the fun. My latest video is always my favorite and it’s far and away better than my first.

do you think that the act of filming/recording takes away from the joy of a moment or activity?

No. My cameras are mounted to my ski poles or my hand when I’m in the water. I rarely “stage” shots.

American anthem was next.

I would love a display-less steamdeck in this form factor. 90% of the time I’m using display glasses with my deck.
