I don’t want you to digitize my handwriting, I want you to convert my handwriting to text.

Just got a replacement credit card yesterday, they don’t even put signature blocks on the back anymore.

To be fair, TikTok is not banned yet. There is no enforcement action against them. They are choosing to do this now to make a point.

Yup. And when returning them to the case DO NOT spin them so they are “right side up”.

Any dust or grit in the case will damage them when you do that.

I have functional music CDs from 1983 and gaming CDs on the Sega CD forward.

Not sure why anyone would think that, I have functional machines and games going back to the Atari 2600.

I watched this happen, it was death in slow motion. Sony never gave the Vita the resources it needed.

2011-2012 - Vita launches with 25 games.

E3 - 2012 - Sony skips the Vita at E3 and instead devotes 30 minutes to “Wonderbook”. When asked why they skipped their newly launched console, Sony explains that there’s only so much time during a keynote. The Wonderbook would not last the season.

E3 - 2013 - Vita games are shown, but they are chiefly indie games that are available on other platforms like Spelunky. Tearaway, the stand out exclusive title, would eventually sell only 14,000 copies and be ported to PS4.

E3 - 2014 - Sony skips the Vita at E3 and instead devotes 30 minutes to talk about the Powers TV show, a show which, at the time, had not even been cast and had nothing to actually show. Both the show and the video service it’s on would soon be cancelled.

2014 - Sony announces first party games are scaling back, hard to scale back from something that was barely there in the first place, and would focus primarily on Indie and 3rd party development.

2015 - Sony admits publicly that AAA development on the Vita has stopped at all internal Sony studios.

2018 - Physical game production stops.

2019 - Vita hardware production stops.

He was a rad guy.

Machined badge reading “Built Not Bought”.

My dad used to put them on the cars he built.

They just need little numbers over their heads.

Is… is this what they used to call “Matter”? Or was that the codename for the Marathon reboot?

This looks like a result of their deal with NetEase.

I wonder if this was reported by someone or if it’s another case of modding by AI? Not that it’s excusable by any standard. Would be nice to know if the bias is human or machine.

I love Babylon 5 and she loves what she has seen of Londo and G’Kar, but she hasn’t seen a lot of it.

She says: “Oh? You mean DS9?”

“Business” also exists. If it’s news about the business, not the technology, it should go to Business.

I am firmly Star Wars, my wife is Star Trek. It’s a mixed marriage. We both love Firefly and Doctor Who.

I have not yet shown her Battlestar Galactica.

Dang, those get FANCY!

Doom in 3-2-1…

“Oh my! Where did these monsters come from??!?”

The wifi was not related to the medical issues, the symptoms, or the specific clinical term mentioned by the doctor.

None of those data points apply. It was nothing I had searched for or spoken to anyone until I saw the doctor that day and the Instagram ad was present by the time I had driven home, specifically mentioning the clinical term mentioned by the doctor.

It wasn’t even the stated reason for my visit, it was an afterthought at the end of the appointment… “Oh yeah, as long as I’m here, what is this…?”

Yes, I was on the wifi before the appointment.
