- Comment on Samsung reveals first tri-fold phone 2 days ago:
An flashlight concentrates it’s light in a small cone, a projector must spread it over a larger area, while still being brighter than the ambient light if you want to use it as a projector. Take a guess why any good projectors cost more and use expensive hardware, instead of “hurr durr let’s just juse a 10 cents flashlight LED!1!!”

I think the problem with 2 folds is that you get a square screen, which sucks for most websites, videos and games optimized for 16:9 screens, either landscape or portrait.

If a projector is $99 it’s rubbish. And what kind of light source would fit into a cellphone that is bright enough to throw a picture from 2m away from the wall, possibly during day light hours, without eating the battery in 5 mins?
- Comment on A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again 5 days ago:
No, it was more a turn based game with npcs, and you had to extract people, kill targets, or return objects from the map. By strategically placing mines on windows or doors you could take out enemies, and remove cover for other enemies, or accidentally start a chain reaction that would blow up other barrels nearby.
The downside was that the game was terrible slow, with what feels like 5seconds per npc to make a turn (even when they where not revealed yet), which is annoying with sometimes 20 npcs per map, who can take sometimes multiple rounds to finish if you are unlucky and miss. And any explosion that would destroy the environment would also bring even modern PCs to a grinding halt. The game was from 2003, but only runs on a single core.

Well if they know that, why spend time and money on all the other consumer products only to drop them a few years later?
- Comment on A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again 5 days ago:
Destructible environments like in silent storm. You could remove walls and floors with grenades or mines. Unfortunately it was a bit buggy and slow. Teardown is fun, but it feels like a tech demo.

The problem is that someone decided to dumb down the error message to not scare users, instead of passing on the real error code from the application.

- Comment on Logitech CEO Hanneke Faber wants an AI agent in every board meeting 1 month ago:
Read her bio page at Logitech. Looks like she got into a leader role because she previously had a leader role. She is in the best case some CEO who brings “value” to a company, but she has zero background relevant to computers, software, hardware or peripheral.
I don’t see how she would have first hand experience with her product line.

- Comment on Any advice for me a guy turning 18 yo old?? 1 month ago:
Before you get a career, live and work in another country or travel on a budget for a year. See other places, meet new people, learn lots of new things and get out of your comfort zone. Some people just walk or bike across a continent with a tent.
You won’t be able to do it later in life when you have a job, family and commitments.

As a us organization you can choose between different MS cloud tiers. I know about 3, the basic tier for private customers, tier4 for large corporations and tier 5 for us gov and military organizations. My guess would be that it has something to do with which 3 letter agency can access your cloud data.

- Comment on The Great Software Quality Collapse: How We Normalized Catastrophe 1 month ago:
You never worked onrold code. It’s never that simple in practice when you have to make changes to existing code without breaking or rewriting everything.
Sometimes the client wants a new feature that cannot easily implement and has to do a lot of different DB lookups that you can not do in a single query. Sometimes your controller loops over 10000 DB records, and you call a function 3 levels down that suddenly must spawn a new DB query each time it’s called, but you cannot change the parent DB query.

- Comment on Ultra-rare unreleased Pentium 4 with 4.0 GHz clock speed discovered — CPU-Z confirms it is an Intel Pentium Extreme Edition 980 1 month ago:
Reminds me of school we got the new pentiums 2 with 300mhz back in the day, in an very compact case with very small fans, with our computer room under the roof, windows facing towards midday sun. In summer at around 2pm one after the other PC went into thermal shutdown, with maybe 5 of 20 PCs still running by rpm. Opening windows did not help.
