Notice how your solution to all and any shortcomings on Apple is spending more money on "solutions" instead of having a platform that has a sensible set of "solutions" built in?
It's a bit on the easy side, because it's aimed towards youth, but in those books people get connected via a small chip in the nose and it has interestingly bad effects the more people get connected.
Soon, that will not be the customers choice anymore. The TVs will come with mandatory LTE modems, some lines in the warranty about how this is this is TVAAS, and if you don't like it, don't buy the TV. You are looking for a set WITHOUT that feature? Yeah we got those, too. only up to 32 inches and in 720p, though.
At least with samsung, i read somewhere that the TV connects automatically to an open AP if available to sneak out data.
After the "insert ads into kodi/roku movies" and "oh btw our camera in the tv ALWAYS looks" and "don't mention passwords in front of the TV because we might record" bullshit i wouldn't put it above those scummy TV makers to just insert an LTE modem in the TV to enable it phoning home in any case.
The only way to dodge this shit is to buy a public display, but those easily go for 4 times the price with lesser display tech.
There's a leaked pilot for BBT floating out there. The setup was somehow way better relationship wise and not as much a caricature as the final product.
The actual series had up until season 4 or so a few things going for classic nerddoms: you could spot cool stuff in their cupboards (an idea taken from the IT Guys), the running gag often was nerdy (sheldon not getting over the girl beating him at halo) and such. Also, they had regular visits from different nerddoms (Summer Glau, Geaorge Black, that star trek kid and so on). This took more and more a backseat to relationship-soap opera stuff which made me quit.
Silicon Valley might not be very precise with its technical details, but it feels way more nerd-relateable than BBT to me.
Weirdly enough, i never had problems yanking USB from windows machines (from xp onwards - before you only needed to look at the screen angry to make the computer crash). OSX on the other hand managed to wreck quite a few sticks so i had to reformat them. (This is 3 years back though when i had to support Apple in our company, might be fixed by now.)
that's akin to playing chess with only pawns. Weapon management (range, ammo, firerate and dps) and map control via powerups are key gameplay elements of quake. If it's just an aimbot with perfect aim that knows how to get the flag, human players can beat that somewhat easily.
Big pharma is a second player in this "let's kill off vaping" scheme. Vaping came along and had a massively higher success rate than patches, gums, whathaveyou. But big pharma is really allergic to solutions for medical problems, it only wants to "manage" problems. So it went all "cancerous" this, "exploding faces" that and vaping being a gateway drug to smoking (lol). But please, buy our (not really working) patches and gums!
I have been in that situation. I tried to report, and was laughed at from every station along the way until i gave up in frustration. Statements like "man up", "just ignore it", "what do you want, she's a good looking one?" were given along the way. I can fully understand why victims of assault don't report, because the shame that gets heaped on you is astounding.
and sometimes, you find cheapos that work really well. I bought a bunch of € 2,40 no-name bulbs at IKEA when i moved into my new place - and not one of them has given out yet (5 years). The only downside to LEDs for me is that they can disturb tracking in VR in certain conditions.
When i signed up (i was very late to the game, around 2012) immediately after entering my email, it proposed a list of people "i might like", which coincidently included all of my friends and family. Not one of the proposed profiles was a stranger. They knew me pretty well beforehand.
first: PSVR uses a different pixel layout to minimize screen door effect, but at the cost of resolution.
second: Resolution is a very important next step in VR: not only is it bound to reduce SDE further and also allows for bigger FOV; it allows us to see detail farther away than just a few meters. At the moment, racing games and flight sims suffer the most from this gen of VR because of that.
as someone in europe, i would love for facebook to close shop for two weeks (a day wouldn't be enough, i think) - it would be so glorious watching the zombies shuffle around not knowing what to do.....
sadly, voting with your wallet has absolutely no effect in a market that is now completely saturated with brainless consume-zombies. The people who care are such a minority now, they wouldn't even make a blip on the radar if they all left gaming collectively.
It's not so straight forward if a company can claim "we did our best effort, but our service x takes up so much bandwidth, so there's none left for y" No Company can be coaxed into damaging its own services to enable a competitors. Which makes the above statement the de facto argument for each and any throttling that's going to happen.

Sadly, the filmmakers won't. I have seldom seen a bunch of innovation adverse people as filmmakers.

not a native speaker, excuse the mumbo jumbo grammar :D

That is not a VR headset. That's an AR headset, and a lousy one at that. Plus it can't do VR due to how the optics work.

Not true for arena FPS. Good map control and managing weapons can easily beat zero reaction time and perfect aim.

can't wait to have my inbox swamped with recommendations from my peers.....
works with the "plus one" i forgot, too :-D
You would have to do better than that, anyway ;-)

My favorite is the tetris bot that just presses pause before he loses

That's hardly a DND (Duke Nukem Delay)

umm ever heard of the term "addiction"? And how it can make highly intelligent people do completely irrational things?
