I used a Rift for DCS and it was amazing graphically. Hard to go back to playing on a screen and using a HOTAS hat to capture your view (or head tracker).

But you better have your HOTAS controls memorized because it's a pain not having visibility of them.

I separated around the same time, and at about the same age, also in a new city. It was rough. A city I never wanted to be in. I'd never find friends there.

A few years later, I have a couple friends that like you, I can just call them up or text and they're available. There are great places to meet, eat, and clubs to join.

Or, when I have fingerprint and PIN enabled but my lid closed, whenever it asks for escalation it shows the PIN entry for a moment, then I look away and start typing but fingerprint had loaded up and steals focus. Then I have to click back on PIN, and retype.

I use this on my work machine, with Cortile for tiling.

> I might just be getting old, but more and more I see people not using indicators and not understanding the rules of junctions. Tail gating also really annoying.

Same. I've also noticed that people entering the interstate seem to _expect_ that cars already on the interstate move over, or change speed to let them merge. Usually at 10-15 MPH slower than the speed of traffic.

I've made a point to, when I cannot move over, remain in my lane at the same speed. And I've had people just absolutely wait until the last moment of a long on-ramp to speed up, or slow down to merge. It's bizarre.

> Lately, I see a lot of drivers who turn on their brights and just leave them on and this includes cars with the older halogen and even incandescents. This is a change in behavior.

This is one of my pet peeves.

I've categorized it into what I believe are the main causes:

1. People just don't know as well today that the blue indicator means you're blinding people

2. People with newer cars which will automatically turn off the headlights, including the brights, when you turn off and leave the car.

3. People with older cars where the low-beams are burned out or broken

I've been tempted to purchase digital billboard space to raise awareness. Eg., "If this blue indicator is on, you're blinding everyone".

And/or, get a mirror on my trunk that I can adjust the angle of from inside the cabin to reflect back high-beams at the driver.

Mostly I'm hoping that automatic high-beams, like some Ford trucks I've seen do well, proliferate more!

I have Win 10 LTSC, and it came with none of that. But it is behind on feature updates.

Intersection of cloud compute power being plentiful combined with existing LMs. As I understand it, right now, it's really just throwing compute power at existing LMs to learn on gigantic datasets.

> And even if proper passwords are used, many sites/apps use this pattern for account recovery if the password is forgotten so effectively this is the only security as an attacker has “forgotten” the password and just uses this flow to login.

Was about to post just this. This is the flow they use for account recovery so it's the weakest link in the chain anyway.

> Forscan for Ford vehicles also has to run under Windows.

I've successfully run it with WINE. Thought, my Forscan executable was 3 years old or so and that may have changed, but I doubt it.

Companies aren't going to invest 4+ years to get a supply-chain setup in the US when they can just wait for the next administration to roll these back. It's just needless economic turbulence.

> The speed limit is a LIMIT not a requirement.

But after traffic analysis by engineers, the final number is set by politicians.
