- Comment on Is the Wii good? 2 days ago:
The Wii is great. Play games that make the most of the wiimote and nunchuck, those are the best.
My favorites were Metroid Prime Trilogy made/remade for the wii controls, and Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess / Skyward Sword. And the fun arcade/sports games like bowling, golf, Mario Galaxy, etc
Looks like I missed House of the Dead 2 and 3, so I may try to find a used wii and used copies to play em. It’d be awesome if Nintendo released a Wii Classic like the NES and SNES Classics.

- Comment on Automatic emergency braking is getting better at preventing crashes 4 weeks ago:
Audi Pre-Sense was the worst offender. Looks like many others have similar experiences even this year:

I had a Nissan after that that implemented it a lot better, never any slam the brakes events. It would warn you with a beep and apply light braking first.
- Comment on Automatic emergency braking is getting better at preventing crashes 4 weeks ago:
Agree with the automakers that the tech isn’t ready.
The article doesn’t mention how many times these cars slammed the brakes in false positive situations.
The cars I’ve driven with this are too conservative with braking in a lot of common scenarios like driving curvy mountain roads, or parallel parking in the city near pedestrians or taxis. I’ve had it brake multiple times in normal driving scenarios wtirh false positives.
The car takes over and decides to full stop immediately, almost causing me to be rear ended multiple times. Eventually the dealership turned off the feature, but only after multiple complaints from customers and media attention.
I vowed to never get another car with this system because of how bad the experience is. But looks like that may be an option only with used cars, due to the bew mandates.

Kagi is rolling out more AI features and I cancelled my subscription after a year. I didn’t want my support going towards all the unasked for and unnecessary AI, I jist wanted private search and was willing to pay for that.
Try these instead, they’re free and drama free unlike kagi

- Comment on Apple manufacturers moved from China to Vietnam. Now they’re desperate for workers. 1 month ago:
Exacta. Firms like Apple moved because labor was becoming expensive as China’s economy developed over the last few decades (beyond the geopolitical issues). You see it with outsourcing moving to Philippines, Vietnam, India, Thailand, Eastern Europe. These firms will keep chasing cheap labor in developing nations when they can. Next’ll be Cambodia, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Central Asia, Africa until there’s nowhere left or its all robots.
- Comment on Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games 1 month ago:
It sucks cause I really like the Mario Kart and Metroid Prime series and was hoping for more 3D metroid games, but there’s just so many other good games out there. Especially with Steam and the Steam Deck. I’ve had every nintendo console and handheld from the NES through the switch, but that’ll be my last console now that the steam deck exists and nintendo has become so hostile.
However I do wish there were more devices like the wii sensor and wiimote/nunchuk. I’d rather PC gaming go in that direction than with VR gaming cause I really hate having to move my neck around with VR.
- Comment on The Most Loved Digital Audio Streaming Platforms. 1 month ago:
Qobuz has been amazing. I tried almost all the music streaming platforms during the pandemic and thankfully found Qobuz!
SoundCloud: I was a long time user and a paying customer since 2016 and big advocate. Unfortunately things went downhill around that time as they started taking a lot of remixes and mixes off the platform. Then they introduced some arbitrary limits on the number of songs you could like/add to your library per day, and I kept getting banned from SoundCloud during the pandemic.
I kept threatening soundcloud support that I would cancel my plan but they didn’t care, it was a blanket decision and they accused me of making the community unsafe by liking too many songs. I didn’t care about their stupid social media aspect, I just wanted to discover new music and listen to what I liked by hitting the Like button to save songs to my library.
So eventually SoundCloud drove me off their platform and I ended up on Qobuz.
Even thought the Qobuz selection is more limited for the genres of music I listen to, its been an amazing few years on Qobuz with HiFi listening and I like how I can discover more music from the artists and labels that like or discover.
Qobuz migration progress: I found 1000 songs so far. I didn’t find 500 songs, mostly smaller artists or remixes. I still have another 1500 songs to sort through. But the great part about this journey is moving to high fidelity listening, and the process of discovering more music from my favorite artists or other artists on the same labels.
I ended up getting a bunch of gear from Schiit, DAC(Modi, headphone amp (Magni), speaker amp(Rekkr), desktop speakers, and a Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro. Been in HiFi heavenly bliss ever since getting pushed off soundcloud.

I think it’s legit. Some of the big bois had shoulder heights of 4-5 meters, and if the human depicted is 1.5~1.75 meters, it looks ok.
