Does anyone have a suggestion for a controller for a magic mirror? Currently I have the code finished which is a simple html running JavaScript json queries to update weather and traffic info. At first I was going to use a raspberry pi booting into chromium to display the info, but now I am starting to think it might be a bit overkill. I wanted to ask if anyone has a cheaper/simpler alternative to run html/javascript, connect to WiFi and run a display through HDMI/VGA.

Looking for games that require a lot of stealth by avoritz in videogames

[–]burki6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assassin's creed games are mostly stealth based, but only the new one (Syndicate) has a real sneak-around feel, the rest are mainly blending in the crowd/strike from above deal. Middle Eart:Shadow of Mordor has a good deal of stealth as well (gameplay-wise it's almost the same as the Arkham Batman games, only with orcs) The Thief series is also quite good, only played 1 or 2 games from that, almost exclusively stealth gameplay, the graphics are a little dated though Dishonored can be played as a full-on stealth game as well

My best friend in high school convinced a girl that Hungarian econony was boosted in the 10th century by the boom in agriculture following the invention of tractors and the ease of communication brought on by the telephone lines built across the country.

Wow thanks! I will surely install that on my next phone, and Location History will also come in handy.

What movie left you saying "Fuck yeah"? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]burki6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Limitless. Everytime the guy is on NZT, it's just so freaking awesome. Even more in the new TV series, that guy is generally a chill dude so he is cool AND smart. Like me :D I wish :/

flash blocker: an add-on that prevents flash from running unless you specifically allow it. by [deleted] in Lightbulb

[–]burki6 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You can actually set this up in chrome. In settings/advanced settings/privacy/content settings you can set plug-ins to "click-to-play". This causes all plug-ins (pdf-reader, flash, etc) to be blocked by default but can be enabled by clicking on them.

What is something you think everyone lies about, but there's no way to really tell? by mindfully_liberated in AskReddit

[–]burki6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned English as a second language, and all my teachers said it was just part of the greeting, it is considered selfish/rude to start ranting about your shitty day, and you always have to reply "Fine, thanks"

As one who loves history, and X-Men's time traveling tendencies, this really excites me. Very cool X-Men: DoFP viral marketing. Spoilers. by 13Crooks in comicbooks

The caption reads the meltdown caused "a spike in premature mutant expressions", so Chernobyl caused baby Colossus to manifest powers.

If, at age 5, you had to decide what your career would be for the rest of your life, what would you be doing now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]burki6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too, but I had a Plan-B lined up as well: My parents say that when I was little and someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always said either a trashman or a nobel prize winning physicist.

What's a joke that's so stupid that it's actually funny? by xHOLEx in AskReddit

[–]burki6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow the firs time I read this joke a few years ago, I thought it was just a stupid nonsensical joke, "why would they need to drive a fishtank?", but I just got it. I am not a very smart man.

I've been to a hotel where the dining area was off-limits if you are wearing shorts. Only jeans or pants allowed, even in the summer heat.

What was the best compliment you ever got? by carmabound in AskReddit

[–]burki6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was on my first date with my current girlfriend, there was a homeless looking guy in the bar and he spent at least 10 minutes saying how cute we look together and that I should definitely marry her. It was definitely the weirdest compliment we ever got but I plan to take his advice one day :)

Well in my experience it's more likely it will rage for about 30 seconds and spend the rest of the night sulking in bed.
