That’s fun. I tested positive for ecoli last week and live in Colorado. Nothing to do with McDonalds tho. Got it from a recent overseas trip.

A few extra meters wouldn’t be too drastic. From the top of Everest the horizon is about 300km away.

For future reference, you can update LG TVs via USB so you can avoid connecting it to a network.

Oh, you get soda directly plumbed into your house?

If your tap doesn’t work, large refillable bottles. In the US, there are services that deliver them and some grocery stores offer it.

I didn’t grow up in a city, but currently live in one. I see teens take public transit to the mall and such. Wish I could have done that instead of relying on parents to drive me everywhere.

Considering the entire 200+ years, the US is considerably less evil. Is there room for improvement? Yes.

Honestly not that stupid. I have seen SD cards break. And for certain applications, like professional photography, having a more physically reliable medium is a good thing.

But I think cameras with dual SD cards for redundancy are more important.

I’m also in the desktop camp. But I just purchased a Framework 16. The upgradable dGPU (assuming they release new ones) might make laptops more viable for gaming.

Japan is just 100V, not 110/115/120, there are some appliances that will use 200V. Similar to how the US has 240V. The weird bit with Japan uses both 50 and 60hz.

Japan is 100V

It does work for most games. MPV player supports it as well. It’s still rough around the edges, but it’s definitely there.

As with anything pushing technical limits, there’s always risk. But what you’re describing isnt purely an issue of pushing realism in gaming, it’s an issue of pushing for profits above all else. These exact practices happen in less realistic game development as well.

Anyway, as stated, I don’t think all games should try to push the graphical envelope. Most games I play don’t attempt this. But I’m glad games like TLOU2 exist and appreciate the devs behind it.

Pushing the limits of technology is how technology improves. Not all games need to do this, but I don’t see it as a bad thing that some do.

Good news, It’s coming out on PC.

I couldn’t wait, I’m already using it for that HDR support.

Not surprisingly, North Korea’s Red Star OS has a closed source fork of KDE.

I don’t really see it as overboard. People in Japan (and elsewhere) have wet rooms. I’m a fan of them, cleaning is easier and additional protection from flooding. It’s the exact opposite of carpet in the bathroom.
