Oooh, so that's why some clothes could shrink?

I remember hearing that shrinking clothes could be a problem, but I never actually encountered it in my adult life.

We've just had a campaign on our city's public transport trams that said "I'm identifying as a trolleybus".

During pride month, nonetheless.

I'm a fan of the "just project a small wireless keyboard into VR". There are some things that are difficult to solve without tactile feedback, and having a 1:1 physical representation isn't that difficult or expensive - i.e flight sticks, gun stocks, and I'd say even keyboards. Mapping them to VR isn't that hard either.

Force feedback/haptic triggers and vibrations are amazing step-up for how things feel, but every time something needs to have it's fixed place in space, physical dummy is the way to go.

That is, as long as we don't have haptics for hand tracking. Virtual keyboard in the air would IMO work fine for handtracking once you have a per-finger haptics.

Shame that AI has killed any kind of research into VR. Tbh I'd rather take Zuck's Metaverse than whatever we're getting now with AI at this point...

It didn't occur to me to even consider that there might be a custom competitive beyblade scene :D I was mostly just thinking about the pre-made duels at highschool :D

I have to look it up, sounds fun.

I think that is kind of the main point of Rust, though.

It's pretty easy to make something in C++. But it will very probably have a lot of hidden issues with memory, undefined behaviors and the like. Rust doesn't let you make those mistakes that much, and forces you to do it correctly and securely the first time, which is why it is harder to get into.

They are mostly harmless and may never cause problems for you, but that's how you get critical RCEs that are 8 years old in a software that's now widely used.

If you don't need this kind "ease traded for security", in my personal opinion I'd go with Zig instead.

I don't believe they will. The can say and do whatever and nothing will probably happen. .

One of the things that surprised me the most when I started working on vishings for a Cybersecurity Red Team was how extremely easy it is to spoof any phone number.

It's the nunber one tip I give to anyone who asks about security, a lot of people don't know that, and spear-vishings are extremely effective.

People have learned to mostly not trust Microsoft Support numbers asking for your CC, but when an internal company number that your phone matches to your bosses boss calls you, a lot of people fall for that.

Hmm, I wonder what the current beyblade meta is, used to be a pretty fun toy a decade ago.

All of us will be, eventually.

If I'm counting right, should be around a 1 000 per year.

I went with 168 million males in the US, so divide by 175 000 is a thousand, which is ~2.5 per day. But I might be wrong what a yearly incidence meabs.

So every morning you can ask yourself, are you going the be one of the today's three lucky US men?

That is a fair point. I'm also not trying to discredit Steam, I don't really think there's any kind of a problem as of now (well, apart from the fact that it could go downhill very fast once Steam changes hands), and the services they provide are reasonable and for me worth the 30% cut, especially their Proton work.
