My absolute favourite controller of all time. No contest.

I don’t know where you live, but if you have a Hado arena nearby, then a taster session might be a good gift. It’s an augmented reality sport which can be played casually or professionally. There are arenas all over the world.

Unfortunately their world site is a little out of date. I know quite a few kids in my area of the UK, at around that age, who are getting into it.

Books of Blood haunted my late teenage years

Why does that look like an LTT clickbait thumbnail image?

There are many days when I feel exactly how this looks.

BTRFS, wasn’t that Dennis Rader 🤔

“Uh… Cuno doesn’t fucking read!” He quickly glances at the fence. “Fucking book shit, fucks with your mind…”

Key info, this relates to discrete cards only, not integrated graphics:

Since Linux lacks the infrastructure for properly and reliably indicating if a full-screen 3D game is running versus another application, this change will just use the full-screen 3D power profile at boot time by default. It’s better in the name of performance but with more aggressive ramping of the core/memory clock frequencies it can come with an increase to power use by default.

More to add to my neverending reading list 😊

I thought Ballistic Gel Torso was the actor from The Usual Suspects, no?

Have you read Neal Stephenson’s novel, Interface?

How much do you want to bet that they don’t even have a contingency plan to evacuate and secure their inmate population?

Critically panned, across the board, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. It could have done with another couple of rounds of script polishing.

Err, that was your side my dude, like wtf?

How about, ‘no’?

There are conspiracies after all, but they’re just the usual ‘capitalist assholes screw the rest of us over’ kind rather than the ‘three-assed aliens kidnapped me and forced me to watch naked while they fed pineapple on a pizza to my dog’ kind.

He truly is the Holy Farter

Why propel spacecraft when we can dream big. Shift the whole planet! Muahaha.

Key Points

• A rocket team reports the first successful detection of Earth’s ambipolar electric field: a weak, planet-wide electric field as fundamental as Earth’s gravity and magnetic fields.
• First hypothesized more than 60 years ago, the ambipolar electric field is a key driver of the “polar wind,” a steady outflow of charged particles into space that occurs above Earth’s poles.
• This electric field lifts charged particles in our upper atmosphere to greater heights than they would otherwise reach and may have shaped our planet’s evolution in ways yet to be explored.
