  Malls could use this screens around columns. It would probably make those phones’ edges easier to make. Foldable screens could benefit from this too. As you said dashboards in cars would be prettier. Since they’re malleable, it would probably be easier to make curved displays. Your watch could display information around your wrist. Fashion people could even use this thing around necks and wrists. I don’t know, I could think many industries could use this.

  My first job was building computers with old parts. A guy needed MS Word for work but didn’t want to buy a new computer or upgrade his 386SX (25Mhz iirc). It had like 20MB of disk and I don’t recall the RAM. So he asked me if I could try. So I did. I managed to install DOS, Windows 3.1 and MS Word. I don’t remember how long it took to boot, but I remember that it would take 6 seconds for a pressed letter to appear on the screen.

  So, let me tell a little story from a couple of months ago. We were migrating a big system and we discovered that it was still sending fax to some destinations. We still have a fax server running. The way it works is that we send an email to <faxnumber>@fax.mycompany.com and it will send the fax to that number.

  So, we contacted the destinations and some declared that they didn’t even had faxes anymore. BUT, a few others still had them and, what a surprise, it was a fax server that would receive the fax… and transform it in an email!

  Of course, we changed those services and retired the fax server.

  All I ask is a vehicle, like the Mako. And new structure maps. And more enemies. And making enemy outposts useful. And fewer loading screens. And better ship construction.

  It’s not trash. I like roaming around “exploring”. It’s just that it would be nice to have something new from time to time. Once you get to know the types of structures you find, you’ll notice that even the objects are in the same places.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No More Will to Play⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, now, they’re there but the ramps are not down, so, why are they even there?

  On a side note, can you enter a starborn ship? They’re always inaccessible. (I know we get into one during the main quest, but I’m asking about those that follow us around.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If civilization continues to the year 9999, is the idea to go to year 10.000, or...?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I was looking at some old pictures of my family and some of them had dates like 921 for 1921 in them. I used to abbreviate 88 for 1988, but I’ve never seen people using 3 digits like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No More Will to Play⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s not even talk about the inconsistencies (and sometimes flat out bugs) while exploring. 0% oxygen and a settler appears without a suit. -18 and I get frostbite. -150 and I’m ok with the same suit. And what about sonic boom from a ship landing near me when there’s no atmosphere? (I get, a game without sound in space is just bad immersion, but still, feels strange) Speaking of landing ships, why the hell do they land near me all the time? Are they following me?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whatsapp is going to run terribly...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I was recently in Brazil and it amazes me how the country adopted the platform. You can do everything in it. And it’s not that you’re always talking to someone on the other side. It’s all automated. Remember those gigantic labyrinths of menus you had to listen when calling a business? Now it’s all in WhatsApp, but with the advantage of being much faster to read. I asked for a service in a company, they gave me a protocol number. When I wanted to check on it, I just had to type the number on WhatsApp and it would tell me if it was ready. So, no need to develop GUI, sites, and so on. Everything is accessible through WhatsApp.

  So, I understand why Meta rolled this out and started with Brazil.

  In the end, it feels like we made full circle and we’re coming back to the Telnet era of doing business.
