What I don’t understand is why. This sounds like way more work than spinning up some out-of-the-box framework with oAuth or a Google login and hosting it on Lambda or Azure. What is logging in on a VM box even going to do for the device?

Yeah, I was on the fence and now I wish I had bought it. I’d still get my money back and I’d have a cool cosplay prop.

Looks like it's a no-go for Destiny 2. Here’s a useful site to check next time. https://www.protondb.com/app/1085660

I wonder how much it affects libraries that I can also walk a block in any direction and find a Little Free Library in one of my neighbor’s front yards. These certainly don’t replace the need for libraries, but I’d also have to pass up a lot of free books on my way to the library if I ever ran out of reading material.

So happy they brought Steam Powered Giraffe back to do the soundtrack.

A TV show centered around superheroes was a novel concept in 2006. In a post-Marvel vs DC world, not so much.

I found out something shocking that could be related to this. AWDL, the proprietary protocol behind AirDrop, will exclusively use channel 6 on 2.4ghz networks and channel 49 (in the US) on 5ghz networks to find any nearby clients, and it’ll look for them about once a second. That means if your WiFi network isn’t broadcasting on those channels, any Apple device that doesn’t have AirDrop disabled will constantly be switching WiFi channels to check for this and switching back. I learned this when trying to get VR streaming over WiFi to a Vision Pro and found very consistent lag spikes once a second until I changed channels on my WiFi router.

Scotland was literally willing to leave the UK over this. I wouldn’t be putting money on Joanne to come out on top here.

Must have been around Tacoma.

Oh, so the engineers who thought up and built the machine must own it, right? Right?
