- Comment on would you buy a compact laptop that has spacebar touch sensitivity and allows you to adjust input sensitivity, giving it dual purpose (a spacebar and a mouse)+ it has integrated A5 printer in it? 2 weeks ago:
I print roughly two or three things per year, and they’re always bigger than A5, so that would be a completely useless feature for me.

That’s the one, but I’m sure he’s only ever done it once…

Sounds like a good time to use the word “bump”
- Comment on I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphone 2 weeks ago:
Perhaps they track who you talk to and show you ads that are relevant to those people, or their best guess based on two profiles.
I don’t think there’s a data center out there with a live audio stream of literally billions of always-on devices 24/7/365.
Perhaps there’s some local processing first, but devices have permissions for apps, and lights that indicate the mic/camera is in use.
I figure someone would have figured it out by now (reverse engineering, decompiling code), or someone from Google would have leaked it if it were true. Think of the number of people required to keep this secret.

This is part of what’s going to make Light No Fire so cool. I’m sure that some of the tech now being added to NMS is being added as a way of testing or proving hypotheses for LNF. I hope we do see more of the LNF mechanics (like multiple biomes on one planet) be backported, like I suspect the improved water, and fishing mechanism may have been.

Oh, so “anything” doesn’t mean what it used to mean?

- Comment on The PlayStation Portal remote player experience to evolve with new system update 2 months ago:
How is this not “related to games”? It’s a thing that has the sole purpose of enabling people to play games.
- Comment on Apple's controversial iPhone accessory may have been discontinued 2 months ago:
Yep. It felt like the beginning of something from a horror movie, but I still have both hands.
- Comment on Apple's controversial iPhone accessory may have been discontinued 2 months ago:
Audio latency with Bluetooth screws up things like music lessons in Duolingo.
A few weeks ago I was gardening with Pixel Buds on and one dropped into a pile of leaves. I spent ten minutes looking for the thing. Then the other day the same one dropped into the garbage disposal while I was doing the dishes.
I don’t mind the cheap Bluetooth headphones I have that wrap around my ear slightly. I can run in those without them dropping out.
When I want audio quality I use some over-ear Bose headphones.
I have no idea how people are ok with just the little buds for all use-cases.

If I’m a painter, let’s say, and I’m live streaming myself painting a literal portrait one day, and a literal landscape the next day, I have to stream in portrait regardless in order to have access to certain aspects of the platform?
That’s garbage.

My wife and I watched this documentary when it first came out and laughed at him the whole way through. It came up when he was on The Graham Norton show.

- Comment on [Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday 3 months ago:
Cool, but you’re in a gaming community in a post about the Playstation, so I’m not really sure why you’re talking about operating systems and behaving like this when someone talks about the console the post is about.
