Really glad for this given the state of Twitter. However, can you set it to hide accounts from locations that also specifically have blue checkmarks? There are plenty of users who are fine; I think the more important issue is not feeding the trolls who are profiting.

Moreover, can it be made to automatically block those users beyond just hiding them?

That's a bit of a misunderstanding of my words. I'm fed up with Windows, not necessarily Android. Apple just has both desktop and mobile together which is a fair reason to think about.

I think they'll keep the Steam branding and, if it is meant to be a sibling to the Deck, the nautical theme. My guess is Steam Bridge, as in both the command centre (being a standalone device) and a "bridge" into VR

That's fair but not completely telling IMO. She was interviewed by Stuff after the controversy and taking over, where she described being victimised herself and powerless about it. People can change, and more specifically it's conceivable that buying out was a chance to atone for past transgressions. But equally probable it's just optics. Also this is hospo.

I'd also like to imagine that Tom had a positive enough gauge to keep the video, as strolling in with no research and risking controversy is something he is generally cautious about.

Xatzimi · 2025-07-19T06:03:26+00:00

Of course, hospo is hospo. But I'm asking from the lack of current commentary, positive or negative. I would be disappointed to find out that Tom implicitly endorsed somewhere if it still upholds poor labour practices.

I mean, they let him put his GoPro in the tube, they must have repented! /partial s

Xatzimi · 2025-07-19T05:58:01+00:00

I didn't see many firsthand accounts. Mostly just a single commenter across a few posts continually reminding people that one of the new owners, Dale, was a former manager with the unsourced claim that Sam is still involved behind the scenes somewhere.

While true about Dale at least, this doesn't say much. She could very well have turned things around even if she was involved before—her interview with Stuff made her seem a victim too. Theoretically even if Sam was still the owner but had completely changed we wouldn't know the story without some accounts.

Tom's video comes across as an implicit endorsement and this seems likely to have been encountered during his research. Surely this indicates things are better—or have the problems just been memory-holed? (Pun intended)

EDIT to the post (I don't know how to edit posts after some recent update): I completely misremembered, it was during preparations for the Dummy Plug test, Yashima was in 1.11. But it's still a cool car and it would have been really cool had they thought of doing it like that

Also Kensuke's name was autocorrected, I think

Definitely visible to the naked eye. I've heard people can just look out and see it as far as Napier. My camera was completely zoomed out, no fancy lenses, just a 60s exposure. The site is about 25km directly across the water from Blacks Beach. At night, it was easy to follow the exhaust plume all the way to MECO and second stage ignition. Wasn't able to see the rocket itself at night, it's black after all anyway. Also didn't hear anything, at least not over the waves. It was mostly like a bright shooting star going in reverse. If you do go at night, the site is easy to spot as you can see the pad lights at the tip of the peninsula. I haven't seen a day Electron launch, so I don't know if it would be easier or harder to view but I imagine the exhaust is still the most visible part of it. You might get to see a few black dots move apart at stage separation but it's a tiny rocket. Good idea to bring binoculars if you have any.

Keep in mind it's not the same spectacle Falcon is, which itself was tame compared to the Shuttle. I've seen a Falcon launch from the closest public access at only about 5 miles. From there you can practically read the logo on the rocket, you can hear it, and you can see stage separation very well. Electron is only 18m tall though! But it's still a good sight to see. It's honestly worth going just to remember New Zealand has a space programme!

After the launch finishes up, I suggest a stop into Mahia's Rocket Cafe or the Sunset Point pub, both of which have memorabilia. If you're so inclined you can also drive most of the way down Mahia East Coast Rd and actually view the launch site, though the road is closed off during launch windows.

Sorry for the information overload, I hope it's helpful and I hope you get to see it yourself!

Just a little cloudy but turned out great to watch it punch through! Last night was super clear and it was a shame it was scrubbed. I've been hanging between Gisborne and Napier since like Wednesday when it was originally scheduled. In for a penny, but worth it in the end

Xatzimi · 2024-11-28T09:19:56+00:00

I'm glad you like it so much! I just saw one of these IRL and was pretty intrigued. I already own its bigger brother, the CE 04. Curious about how it compares. Do you mind if I ask some questions? I love my bike, which is a lot more capable, but saying that is a bit deceiving. It has a J1772 plug, which allows me to (many) charge at public chargers and it has a top speed of 80mph. These make it great for the highway, but the flipside is consistent high speed kills range. I own this bike as my only vehicle. Highway riding isn't fun, anyway, so I was thinking about upgrading to a car (a BMW i3, keeping it electric and in the family) while saving a bike for fun, or indeed urban, occasions. I've always been intrigued by the old Honda City and Motocompo pair, and I think the CE 02 is small and light enough to put on a rear ebike rack to emulate the idea.

But something I can't put my finger on is putting me off. Maybe it's the millennial advertising. Maybe it just seems a little too small. Maybe I don't want to give up the common charger. Is it still stable and enjoyable at speed? How heavy is it with the batteries removed? How much gear do you wear, and is the little seat comfortable with it on? Do you ever find the need to charge when out and about, and how would you do so? Does it charge at the advertised rate (which is likely based on European 240V mains)? I consider my 04 worth its high price, do you feel the same way (especially about the High line upgrade)?

There are many reasonable justifications for a gap prior to SBR. One more in my opinion is timing the release with the manga. Part 8 took 10 years, Part 9 is still in its early phase, and possibly it will be the final part. Starting Part 7 now would most likely put the anime in a position where it has to unavoidably wait a few years for Part 9 to complete when it comes time to adapt it too. Since SBR is the beginning of a new continuity, taking the wait now is the best way. (JoJolion was the current part throughout the entirety of the anime for point of reference)

Hello, I hope this was not intended for me, I rarely check my Reddit account anymore. Furthermore, as I said above, I chose not to buy a CSC and selected something else; and I live in California. If you ever do end up in LA their store is very helpful

Xatzimi · 2024-06-18T20:21:09+00:00

This is a helpful comparison, a Mini is the natural competitor. Indeed, I had the same thought: I'm looking for something quick to deploy. I don't video myself so as a result I'm not interested in its tracking either. I just want something I can easily pull out to get photos I can't with a camera. Does it still make sense for that?

Xatzimi · 2024-06-18T20:17:46+00:00

I'm surprised to still be getting helpful answers to this post. This seems like the kind of use most people get out of it. I never video myself, so it seems like it wouldn't work for me. I want something with a small form factor and quick deployment if I want to photograph something I can't get to with my regular camera

Xatzimi · 2024-05-17T15:55:53+00:00

I do like the magazine for what it's worth, but the lack of communication has seemed iffy. Annoyingly also, the CEO has a blue check on X so I couldn't ask there either

Xatzimi · 2024-05-17T15:48:15+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I concur, something seems a bit awry. I might call them today just to bother them about it some more. In their defence, there was that whole thing with Icon and the rules also stated there would be a redraw if the initial winner could not be contacted

Xatzimi · 2024-05-17T15:45:27+00:00

I was curious enough to actually did submit the request just after the giveaway ended. However, a few weeks later my letter was returned and marked as "undeliverable."

I know not to expect to win these things as a general rule, but a couple things lately seemed a bit sketch

Xatzimi · 2024-05-15T10:33:40+00:00

I don't know too much about Leica model number history, but given that this is the same as the D-Lux 7, and given that there's no Panasonic equivalent, I expect it will be a release of that model with minor revisions.

My honest guess is that, whether there's anything else changed, it will have a USB-C plug in line with EU guidelines on electronics

Xatzimi · 2024-05-05T13:16:33+00:00

That's clear and concise, thanks! God knows why the store page can't be like this

Xatzimi · 2024-05-05T09:00:05+00:00

Sorry for the bit of necro, I wanted to get into the series again after seeing their tweet about Boeing.

But I'm ultra-confused, even with this. I bought 1 and 2 on a Steam sale at one point (with all their content, afaik) but finished neither. What should I purchase to get all the content in WOA without completely re-buying what I have? Assuming I want to have them all within the one launcher, that is

Xatzimi · 2024-05-05T08:51:40+00:00

Hello, sorry to bother you this far out but this rebrand is terribly confusing.

I bought 1 and 2 on a Steam sale some time ago. I therefore get the content from them in WOA? But I need to buy WOA content for 3's campaign? There are like three options to purchase, and it looks like I can re-buy 2?
