This probably has some cool applications for magicians to do unique tricks where certain things appear on their skin.

I think this is only true if you assume the classic server model where the remote rendering streaming is overhead and not colocated with the game server itself.

Perhaps the controversy created by these pull requests is partially responsible for bringing attention to the issue and resulting in change to the legislation.

Over the past few years I've felt the iPhone keyboard has degraded in quality so much. At first I thought I was just getting old, but I've seen so many people with a similar sentiment that I think it is actually the devices fault.

On an iPhone like half of the information was wrong and conflicted prior information. And then stopped responding at the gathering ip, etc part.

A 1 TB Xbox is now $800 USD, where Microsoft is allegedly eating a $150 loss on each sale. Console pricing just hasn't reflected the realities yet or are eating the loss (to be made up via software sales). If their next console is open, they'll be in the same boat as Valve and won't be able to sell the console at a loss as there's no guarantee software sales will follow.

This article touches on why I think a lot of disdain for Nintendo's game key cards is misguided. They're functionally equivalent of what Xbox/Sony consoles have been doing for the past 2 generations but at least provide clear labels and marketing that the game won't function without online activation / downloads.

Yeah, there's a sentence about how they downgraded twice!

No, I think Valve prioritizing an open platform independent of Microsoft aligns with their business goals.

They’re doing it in a manner that has broad benefits, but it’s definitely a win-win situation.

I guess you missed the part where they’re talking about HDR?

Yes, the monitor will work but if you want to take full advantage of the panels you enable HDR.

"And here's the key bit...", etc. I agree there's a few signs that this was at least editorialized by AI. That being said, saying it's slop is a bit of a stretch.

Not quite. The Kuru Toga mechanism that rotates the led every time you pick up the pencil is present on the cheaper models and is also present here.

The big feature on this pencil is an adjustable automatic lead extrusion mechanism on top of the rotation mechanism.

Looking at the source I don't think that's true -- it's using GitHub specific APIs to read/write files. It's not standard git so any remote wouldn't work, and the mechanics are more akin to a key-value store than git really.

Not to say you couldn't add a generic git protocol to this, just that that's not being done here.

I think it's pretty clear from the readme that this is a humorous proof of concept more so than anything someone should seriously use.
