  • I hope they fix that bug where on Linux when the controller disconnects for whatever reason, all of the analog inputs like the triggers and sticks stop working. I connect my controller using an USB-C cable which is kinda broken, it usually works just fine, but every once in a while it disconnects before immediatly reconnecting. Usually that’s not an issue, it just hiccups a bit and then I can continue playing. Since it doesn’t happen often, I can blame my skill issues on it and I’m lazy, I hadn’t bothered to replace the cable. With this annoying bug, I had to restart the game every time it happened. After a couple of times I replaced the cable, but still would be cool if they just fixed it.

    Also people running the Windows version of the game on Linux didn’t have the bug. So good on them to make a Linux version, but kind of a shame the Windows version on Linux runs better in this aspect at least.

    Well technically yes, CSD was a thing and allowed mobile phones to connect to the internet. However it wasn’t like these days, where you could actually use the internet on the phone. It was a technology that allowed mobile phones to work as a modem. So you’d connect the phone to the serial port of your 90s laptop and could “dial in”. The data rate was terrible as well as the latency, but it could allow salespeople on the road to digitally submit orders to the head office for example. This was technically internet, but usually people dialed in to a specific number which only connected to the one server/service. It was also super expensive to do so, so adoption was low.

    Internet on mobile phones first started with WAP and I-mode, which are close to internet and technically use the internet, but still isn’t the same as what we have these days.

    The first mobile pocket devices which could actually browse the internet in a modern way were probably pocket pc’s. Especially the Windows Mobile ones that came with a (for the time) very capable browser. They exploded in popularity and soon became available for phones as well. Yes there was a time Microsoft dominated the mobile phone market and caused the juggernaut Nokia to fall. They then completely dropped the ball when they didn’t realize they were actually marketing to consumers instead of business and failed to innovate in ways that were more user friendly. Instead focusing on productivity and technical capabilities. Blackberry and Apple swooped in and the rest is history.

    That’s mostly because digital cameras were known at the time to be extremely shit. I remember having a webcam in the 90s. It kinda sorta worked, but even in high res picture mode it was 640x480 and the images looked like shit. So it would be more a case of convincing people a digital camera can be as good as an old school one. The concept itself would be familiar. In fact, calling it a webcam instead of a digital camera would be a lot easier for a 90s person to understand.

    Well WAP and I-mode were both introduced in 1999 and didn’t go mainstream till 2000. So I don’t think any phone had internet access in the 90s. Even in 2000 most people had a Nokia 3210 or similar, a lot of people still had screens that could only display 2 lines of text at most.








  • This is me and my girlfriend, it’s terrible. She is always cold and I’m always hot. She uses me to heat up, which sounds cute but involves ice cold hand and feet touching my bare skin. She has like 3 layers of thick blankets, if I crawl under those within five minutes I’m overheating, sweating and feel like I’m going to pass out. She turns up the heat all the time and I wanted to turn it down to begin with.

    I feel like being aligned on heat is much better than being very unaligned.
