Dunno where op was but in the UK at least it wasn't possible for the longest time to get the Dreamcast to use a flat rate dial up because Sega did a deal with British Telecom. This made multiplayer pricey af... I know this because my dad was not amused at the £230 phone bill I racked up in the first month of PSO 😅

I have just gotten into baldurs gate 3 and holy shit it has consumed my soul.

... Which is kinda fitting considering the themes of the game

Also nestle says hi

For all the invasive problems this feature causes, what the fuck does it actually do? The ability to ask an ai what website you were on last Thursday? Who needs this garbage

I would've absolutely paid more attention in maths if the learning material was this utterly contemptuous of "ordinary mathematicians" haha

also full Project Gutenberg text is here https://calculusmadeeasy.org/, thanks for sharing!

I'm the opposite because I've had nothing but bad luck with docker. I should really spend more time with it but ugh

Debugging (without a MacBook). Webgl 2. WebXR. Local storage not being completely gimped. I'm glad I don't work in that industry anymore, Safari was the bane of my existence...

Good web standards are a threat to the app store (particularly anything to do with ARKit) - not like 3rd party browsers are likely to change that much with the majority of users sticking to defaults, but it might apply some pressure

Not lag, physical pushback from the wheels

True, but sensitivity is only half the story - the direct feedback of a wheel cannot be overstated

It's not just about precision, it's about feedback. Being directly connected with the steering linkage gives valuable feedback about the road and the front wheels - just because handicapped people have an alternative that they may use out of necessity does not mean it's a better solution.

In a fully autonomous car, sure perhaps a simple manual system as a backup makes sense but we aren't there yet. You are talking absolute nonsense, and I can only assume you haven't ever driven a vehicle.

Steering wheels are enormous because that allows fine grain control, which you need at higher speeds. Switching lane at 70mph requires only very slight movement but turning the car around in a street you can go full lock.

A joystick would be fucking TERRIFYINGLY stupid lmao

Oof. I had mine about 6 weeks but that stings lol
