You can still use a controller on pc although you are often at a disadvantage in most FPS style games.

The opposite is true these days. Many of the most popular FPS games like Call of Duty provide ~~aimbot~~ aim assist for controller players. So even PC players use controllers to get the aim assist, which puts them at a huge advantage over MnK players in close and mid range engagements.

VW will continue its slow decline. Rivian will accelerate its decline until it collapses and is sold-off for parts.

Let them fight.

Ah yes. The unintended consequences of mandated code coverage without reviewing the tests. If you can mock the shit out of the test conditions to always give you exactly the answer you want, what's the point of the test?

It's like being allowed to write your own final exam, and all you need to pass the exam is 90% correct on the questions you wrote for yourself.

I'd stay away. I checked HNJ's website to see if they've tested those helmets with gimmicky ears (they also do horns and batman apparently). They've published zero testing for safety, wind resistance, or anything at all related to those ears.

I wouldn't trust the single most important piece of safety gear to a company like that. Go with a more reputable brand, and take the other commenter's suggestion to attach foam ears if you really need that aesthetic.

Simply put, it's just not worth the risk.

Hey since we're doing these, how about the years-old bug where ff won't remember which bookmark folder you were in previously when opening new bookmarks. If you have bookmark folders (especially nested ones), try opening a bookmark inside one of those folders. Then go back into your bookmarks, you'll see you're not in that folder anymore, you're at the root level and have to traverse your folders to get back to where you were. It's super annoying if you're opening bookmarks one after another.

Shit, my bad. Yep I meant hydra. I need to brush up on my Greek mythology.

Yeah it's a ~~chimera~~ hydra, similar to illegal movie streaming sites. Unless they solve it at the AI engine level, they're just chasing ghosts.

Agreed. Sigh. I'm considering the P9 Pro simply because of the improved modem and fingerprint reader. The AI is useless to me.

Many many moons ago, I was in highschool and somehow got my hands on a Gevalia coffee catalog. They were offering a free coffee maker with a subscription of coffee. The first coffee shipment of the subscription was free (along with the coffee maker), you just had to pay shipping. And you could cancel any time. So I ordered the subscription, got my two bags of coffee and a coffee maker for about $10 in shipping charges, then immediately canceled.

I don't remember much about the coffee, but that dang coffee maker followed me through high school, college, and a good decade beyond that. It wasn't particularly great, just a regular drip coffee maker, but it lasted forever. I'll never forget that thing.

I'm still trying to figure out why the new Chromecast needs AI.

Jesus Christ this bot is annoying.
