Great recs!

Played Stanley, Inside, Limbo, Everything (by David Oreilly?)

I’ll have to check out the rest!

Picked up Journey off Steam. Been meaning to check that out for a decade or so.

He melts down to just his bill which floats next to the ring and mutters “you’re despicable.”

Heh, I guess I should have phrased that differently.

But yeah, it’s actually really courteous. Sometimes a little too much. It’ll move over to the left side of the lane if it sees a cyclist or pedestrian on the shoulder to the right. Unfortunately, it doesn’t understand when there’s a 3 ft concrete barrier between me and the pedestrian and will do it anyway. Makes some narrow bridge crossings a little scarier than necessary.

The first Model X has Autopilot 1 which was a system designed by Mobileye. Tesla’s relationship with Mobileye fell apart and they replaced it with an Nvidia based system in 2017(?). It was really really bad at the start as they were essentially starting from scratch. This system also used 8 cameras instead of the original 1.

Then Tesla released AP hardware 3 which was a custom-built silicon chip designed specifically for self-driving which also enabled proper navigation of surface streets in addition to the just highway lanekeeping offered in AP1. This broadened scope of actually dealing with turns and traffic from multiple angles is probably where the reputation of it being dangerous has come from.

My HW3 enabled Model 3 does make mistakes, though it’s rarely anything like hitting a pedestrian or running off the road. Most of my issues are with navigational errors. If the GPS gets messed up in the tunnel, it’ll suddenly decide to take an exit that it isn’t supposed to, or it’ll get in the left lane to pass someone 1/4 mile from a right-exit.

Yes, but you still need to install the cores developed by the community in order to play ROMs.

The necessary core for ROMs was released barely a day after OpenFPGA support was, but it wasn’t released by Analogue.

The console doesn’t officially support ROMs. It must run games off the original hardware carts.

However, there’s a fairly simple hack to get ROMs to play on the SD card slot of the Analogue Pocket that many suspect was unofficially developed by Analogue themselves.

Yeah, I was fully expecting this thing to be like $400.

Emulators can’t always play every game. I know Pokémon Snap has always struggled to run.

This is identical to real hardware and upscales everything to 4K. Not to mention native support for Bluetooth controllers and other creature comforts.

There was an extensive amount of refurbishment required to re-use the SRBs. Not to mention they had to be physically recovered, and salt water certainly made the process more complicated.

The shuttle itself needed each of its heat shield tiles replaced, which due to the shape of the shuttle were all unique.

The fuel tank was not reused.

The shuttle was meant to be a leap forward in rocket reusability, but it didn’t really pan out that way. There’s good reason the program was scrapped and not replaced with another space plane.

The Starship booster has the potential to launch multiple times per day. The only refurbishment period is how long it takes to refuel it.

$245/year assuming constant 200W load which is pretty reasonable for a small web server.

The trick is to have the server do other things like print, Plex, Piwigo, Samba, Shinobi, Frigate, Matrix, etc

Moore’s law factored in cost, not just what was physically possible.

The complexity for minimum component costs has increased at a rate of roughly a factor of two per year. Certainly over the short term this rate can be expected to continue, if not to increase. Over the longer term, the rate of increase is a bit more uncertain, although there is no reason to believe it will not remain nearly constant for at least 10 years.

Yes. Radio waves can pierce opaque objects.

Ah. Well if your PC is static, a USB tuner isn’t too much. Plus then you have a built-in DVR.

I hear that. We have an attic yagi aimed directly at Seattle from 10 miles away, and we still get the occasional dropout even on our strongest signals.

Still when it works, it works really well. We watch Nature and Nova on Sundays, and the wildlife footage looks incredible.

Well considering many paid tiers of streaming services also serve ads, I consider it free-er than that.

Also, most of the hardware is already inside your TV. You just need a $20 antenna.

Also attempts to make the ads more invasive (louder in this case) are literally legally limited by the federal government.

See this is what I’m talking about. Cable is not the same as over the air. I’m not sure how your cable works in Hungary content/pricing-wise, but I do find it funny that a lot of younger people in this thread are lumping the two together.

You don’t, but that only applies to sports or things that you need to watch live.
