Yes, but don't expect any lazors to be shooting out of any asses for science or anything. All evidence provided is anecdotal at best, but it's the kind of thing where we'll know just how crazy it is as soon as gene sequencing drops to about $100/person. http://www.rdos.net/eng/asperg...
It's really really REALLY sad that we have this mid-30s Germany censorship going on here in what can now best be described as a quasidemocracy. Isn't 1K chunks what they were doing before they got the OK from the govt? I wonder when the internet will succeed from the world government bodies & exist as its own sovereign state? Then the companies could apply for embassy status & be void of all this bullshit.
You don't own a Google Fiber modem yet!? You HAVE seen the speeds right? Only Google Fiber has the gigabit speeds I require for BLAST PROCESSING! Google does what Comcan't!
I know I'm not supposed to feed the trolls, but...Half the white people in America wish they at least had the FREEDOM to leave the country. Do you know how hard it is to get a visa to ANYWHERE else until you've first established yourself high in your industry? We're at 1938 Germany xenophobia levels now & we've already invaded Poland AND Russia. I & every other person I know would love to move to Central America, buy an acre or two of land & build a house & just live, but they made it impossible to leave to even the neighboring countries without Papers Please, & now the racial superiorists are flooding in. WWIII is coming fast & it will be fought on everyones shores with only the deadliest of killer robots. Nice going, Mr. I'm Protecting White People From Der Juden Menace or whatever.
You just get last years tablets or e-readers or even chromebooks in bulk on clearance. That's half the work done. Now, start loading them up with screened dumps of Simple Wikipedia. You'll have alot of penis orgasm GIF's & Charles Manson pages & other weird shit to pull out yourself, but eventually you'll have a well-screened archive you can begin dumping on whatever devices you've stocked up on. This is how today's children learn. You may think it's frightening, or even wrong, but having lived the experience in the Elk Grove Unified School District (before I could get out legally at 16 w/ an equivalency test...I still mark that day as the day I escaped purgatory), there is absolutely NO better or even close-to-equivalent alternative that'll stretch minds faster than autistic kids on acid in the 1960s. Well...except for Khan Academy. Make sure to have that bookmarked on every web browser!
So they say. Find one buried in the backroom, tear it open, find the microcontroller's manual & the serial port. Dump, hack, reflash, ???, profit (or net loss, considering you can't necessarily sell them cc's ATM)
You mean I won't be able to tweak some search query that gives me the service manual to a POS terminal, including how to access service mode & dump new firmware?
My car will run a carbureted flat 4 until battery patents expire & the market'll let me have an EV kit for less than $5K. The only setback is that [old] cars kill people....maybe I'll get some wangstery aftermarket steering wheel for that.
...'electronic heroin' is spot on. Seeing rockstars talk about heroin in highschool anti-drug films pretty much sums up how I felt about WoW, having recently been cut off by my brother's cancelled subscription. While I wasn't an addict, I still had fucking DREAMS about being in the game & listening to it's beautifully orchestrated music, bright colorful graphics maxed out on my integrated intel hardware because I was so badass at systems optimization...anyone got a subscription? I'm itching man!
Pretty much a Playstation phone, but not retarded. Let's say....slide-down joypad, 1080p 3D screen, the latest quad core ARM64, etc. I can see them fucking this up really badly by attempting to include DRM. I honestly think that's their only holdup: they can't port their software portfolio AND have the stranglehold on publishing like their current business model dictates. (Remember, the money off of console sales doesn't come from consoles (except for the rare exception like the Wii) but from licensing fees held to each & every title). My ideal dream phone would pretty much be the above, with EOMA-68-like modularity.
Create a networked folder & within it symlink all your stuff. I don't care what networking protocol you use, but the linuxier, the better. On your TV's end, install Ubuntu or whatever, raise the font dpi, maybe bold high contrast inverted to make it resemble a 10-foot interface. Then, have the media folder on your desktop & teach your family how to right-click > open in VLC or to open VLC, File > Open Directory, or whatever. I know it sounds sloppier than a Del Taco bathroom, but to me it's the simplest solution available. Easiest setup, no dicking around with last year's 10-foot bullshit that gets closed-sourced half-way through or some shit, just vanilla Ubuntu or whatever & a file server.
...you have Aspergers Syndrome. Look into it & find out for yourself. I had the same thought patterns until I realized how retarded traditional education is for a man of my age for my particular industry (where a degree will hinder your pay/employability significantly)
You're implying the screen resolution is a limit of the cartridge storage capacity, not volatile memory (AKA a hardware constraint). &, it doesn't matter what you're measuring in. 50MB is still 50MB (is still 400Mb).
Tapped Out can't be more complex than, say, that pokemon tetris-jewel-whatever game on N64, let alone Ocarina of Time (which really saw the engine exploited w/ Majoras Mask because of the extra 4MB of VRAM). That pokemon game had roughly the same full-motion video quality & as far as I give 2 shits to care, it probably had just as much content as well. Ocarina of Time takes 2 hours of time just to meet the princess not because of complexity, but because of the 1 1/2hr of cutscenes. Even w/o the asset files, that initial 30MB download is way too much for the executable.
Yes it is. Even on Android their game development is just....sad. You turn on The Simpsons: Timehole or whatever & it spends the first 10 minutes updating (what's the point of using Google Play package management if you pull shit like this?) & you spend the next 30 minutes trying to get your phone to charge after dropping from 50% to 2% before the opening cutscene finishes. It's sad & it's fucking disgusting.
I'd like to point out that, while I'm definitely lazier as a pothead, my instance count of psychotic episodes on average has dropped significantly. Like, I still need a low dose Buproprion that I'm not proud of, but pot brings about a mental stability (so long as it's not abused) that's just outright unmatched for some of us not born w/ all our neural systems up & running.
Who said anything about ChromeOS? All new Chromebooks ship with SeaBIOS, & the older ones can be reflashed to have it. No signed kernels, no Google Anything. & we're talking the very same crowd that would buy a 'developer notebook'. Then again, something like this has modularity over, say a Chromebook Pixel (which has no modularity). Maybe something that could be purchased in bulk for dev-focused fleets ready to go out-of-the-box, but from what I understand there's bloatware....

I've always found the neanderthal theory of autism interesting. Like, I know there's little to no actual evidence, but I can totally see it happening!

It's the only way to not let the killer robots rule humanity after the Goopocolypse!

I 'accidentally' 'broke' the existing POTS lines!
....are more of an early-70s thing. The 60s was all about integrated hand-engineered hard-wired logic, & even then it's a late-60s thing.

...that hosting a personal 'cloud' (email, file server, etc) on your personal internet connection leads to ending up on some list these days?
$1 scientific calculators with trig functionality. Tada.
