What do you use the back buttons for?
  • YMMV, I treat it on demand, but in most cases it's unused.

    Civ: End turn

    Driving games: Shift paddle

    It's like the 4th mouse button. Sometimes you don't realize how much you might enjoy having it mapped.

  • ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say
  • Why would the forced sale of a product have an impact on the value? Have you never been to an auction?

    It's highly popular and has a built in user-base. If anything, the fact that it's being forced to "sell" should make the existing social media companies froth at the mouth.

  • Mercedes becomes the first automaker to sell autonomous cars in the U.S. that don't come with a requirement that drivers watch the road
  • In the mid-early days of reddit, upvote/downvotes were noticed as a method to hide the algorithm that was used to promote to the front page.

    If you can see the exact counts, you can game the system. So the system threw fake up/downvotes into the mix to make it harder to reverse engineer. This could be something similar.

  • YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps
  • Television shows are 22-24 minutes, because cable TV should show 6-8 minutes of ads every half hour. 30 second ads in blocks of 3 or 4, multiple times per show.

    15 seonds ads are almost too short for a trip to the kitchen. I'm not saying they're good, but if you want to compare to cable TV, you need to remember the dark times.

  • Quest 1 becomes near-E-waste Apr 30
  • I have used my pi-hole to blacklist all the oculus, meta and facebook domains, so I don't get firmware update pushes on my Q1.

    BUT, I did have a weird out-of-sync issue with Virtual Desktop a few months ago when I thought I had properly version locked.

    All I ever wanted my Quest to be was a monitor. The fact that they could brick a monitor because they feel like it's obsolete, is asinine.

  • No Man's Sky Orbital Update brings full ship customisation and a complete space station overhaul
  • I waited to get involved until after the Echoes update last summer, and I truly enjoyed 100+ hours of the game.

    It still does suffer from inevitably feeling really empty, with billions of copies of the same 4 different coloured/temperatured planets and 8 creature types, but it was still a heck of an experience.

  • Uvalde schoolchildren were massacred under a sheriff’s watch. He was still undefeated on Super Tuesday
  • As a Canadian who lives in Alberta, this pains me.

    I despise our provincial government. I vote in every election. I reach out to my electors who I disagree with. And it doesn't matter because a bunch of old "got mine" boomers rich on oil money, keep voting in their shitty friends who are looting the public in plain view.

    Why don't I move? Because the whole fucking world seems to be going this way, and the housing market is insane.
