> Starcraft competitions are still on tv in South Korea 28 years later because they got the balance just right, and all the dirty little details of that universe.

Are they? I thought after the pro league failed it's transition to SC2 and the GSL ended that it mostly went to streaming platforms.

It feels like the problem was the market ended up in a race to the bottom and so most of the made-for-PC controllers just sucked. The best option was to buy your preferred console controller and use that with PC.

> Meanwhile I have to hunt around and specifically request for Razer or Mad Catz or other PC-specific brands.

Since you mention conbinis, I'm guessing you're in Japan. Having just been there, game software is receding from the smaller hobby stores, and then in the tech stores like Bic Camera, the PC gaming stuff is one floor down.

> From this point on, every year "physical media & a Jellyfin install" is going to be more sensible.

Which of course is why physical media will increasingly rarely be offered as an option going forward

To be honest, I’m slightly concerned for Wube in the medium term. They had one mega hit, but they’ve scaled up a lot from that (I think the average team size over factorio development was like… six and they now have like 30). There’s no guarantee their next game is a hit which is the cruel reality of game dev as an industry.

ConcernedApe likely made enough for one person to FIRE on so he’s probably fine and maybe haunted chocolatier even does get finished one day.

My revolut cards (both google pay and actual physical cards) were failing to process payments and had to use my backup card from a traditional bank instead

I guess that was what they believe the attacker intended to use the stolen keys for?

A good reason for Burger King not have had an app with accounts that linked all that info, and a good reason for users to not use such apps. Sadly companies all want those registered users.

I'm on holiday at the moment so reopened the app to transfer photos from my camera directly to my phone again after a while of not using it (at home I just use the microsd card readers in my computers). Anyway, I discovered Canon now has a mandatory account requirement. There wasn't even an account option when I bought the camera. Luckily the old apk from APK mirror still works on my phone.

The roof cavity is not large enough for hidden ducting and the ceilings in older houses low enough that exposed ducting would be a head impact hazard. So you'd end up needing one installation per room. Expensive, especially when the expertise isn't there, and mostly used by commercial users.

I think the experience of the gpt4/gemini2/claude2-3 era of models was widely variable depending on the use case and how much reference material there was on the internet. I'm told it was very good at producing react code for example, but my experience was it often failed to handle Rust or Kotlin type checking and failed pretty often (in less immediately detectable ways) on PHP. So looking at the trajectory from the initial copilot (could auto compete fast inverse square root and method level problems that you could also just google), to GPT4 (which from my experience, still couldn't code) and hearing that the training data by that point was "most of the internet" it wasn't that clear to me that it would reach the point it has today.

Obviously the models themselves have trended bigger since which has helped and also just the tooling and harnesses around it and the models being trained for that use case has achieved a lot since that q4 2025 window which is about the first time it became functional for me.
