Unstable access is the biggest issue I've seen. It has led to markers moving away from lumber. The main problem with that is what is used instead Lumber is the only renewable resource weve got. Trees harvested in the 60s are ready to be harvested again. Can't say that for mines. It really is a resource that needs to be managed. Not left to the businesses.

The bill as it is written doesn't appear to be a problem. But the implementation needs to be monitored by those affected. A small company can grab a cheap dash cam from Amazon that has all sorts of capabilities that extend past what is currently allowed. And those features have a cost that is usually offset by selling data somehow. I found one model that didn't have a mic as a feature, but it was available if a firmware patch was applied.

The specifics for pipa need to be followed. Video needs to be stored internally and securely. Not on the cloud in another country. The only people with access need to be defined. There should be no audio or video in the cab etc.

I've rewatched it twice since its initial run. It's just short enough that nothing is really dragged out and most of the plot points are resolved etc. Not like X-files which is my main comparator to fringe

Watched it with my wife tonight. Solid 8/10 horror. No silly gimmicks, no gratuitous sex or violence. Just pure dread.

Tight story. Would recommend.

Ive never had a USB-C with orientation issues. What am I missing?

Yes, when the datacenters use up the resources, and take jobs away from people? We are trading the things people need to live, for slop. Those with the resources will get more and those without the resources will get less, and the divide will widen.

I think what's happened here is, you are playing the games as shooters, room quake and unreal were not story driven games. It was either get the coloured key to progress, or kill everything between point a and b. All the newer games you listed have great story that drives the gameplay. And halo being the first real controller multiplayer experience brings a lot of nostalgia to people.

However it's the same reason that I haven't gotten on the 'boomer shooter' trend. They are essentially doing what you bring up. No added function or feature, they just feel like a reskin or mod of quake.

I bought mine straight from Bambu. Could smell burning electronics after 50p hours of use or so. Then it wouldn't turn on. No interaction whatsoever. Contacted support, had to dismantle and send a few pics. A quick video of me plugging it in and the results. Then they shipped me a new power board. Installed it and carried on. It was very obvious what part had failed. I was frustrated at first but all told, it was a pretty good experience.

Im doing the same on my steam deck. I wish there was a way to make the HUD/UI elements smaller. They do take a lot of real estate on the screen. And Dusk's bloom is better than the original, but still very powerful!

Overall I am still enjoying! Play on!

It was a struggle to get the right combinations of plugins going for pj64. I never had the console myself so I was happy with whatever I could get. Zelda64 and Majora's mask were really all I was interested in. The SNES NES and PSX were really where I spent most of my time emulating. PC piracy was another beast. Cdcopyworld and all the DRM cracks or mini-iso files loaded up with daemon tools or alcohol to bypass cd checks. What a time to be alive.

When I started, I was downloading mp3s and recording them on to cassettes. Use what you have. As for console games, there were DOS based SNES NES and geneses emulators for those who didn't have the hardware.

Pj64 was emulating Nintendo64 titles while the console was still releasing titles.

Napster, limewire bearshare, winmx DC++ were all around before bit torrent was used for downloads.

Hooked up the family computer to the tv using a video card with s video output and impressed the whole family!

 

Jirard Khalil gives an in-depth breakdown of what happened with the open hands non profit. I've been waiting a year for this video and I am happy to see Jirard again. Everyone will have to decide for themselves but I accept what he has to say and look forward to supporting his content again.

 

I just found this when looking for Canadian alternatives. Anyone else hear about gander? I'm doing my best to support home grown and open alternatives but I have to choose what I am doing on the platform. It's unlikely that my older family will ever leave Facebook, but honestly, what do I miss by not being present there? Birthday posts on my wall and the latest vacation picture...
