  • I thought that feature was related to the expensive for pay Copilot feature? The recall feature listed a huge amount of space required for it to work, something like 275 GB, SSD. There is no way that’ll just be a baked in feature in normal home Windows. Am I wrong Lemmy? To be clear, that feature can F right off.


  • The stages in this game are pure nostalgia. It’s so fun to explore the nooks and crannies of every stage, and look for secrets! With that being said, wave/tower defense is a huge waste for a main game type. You’re limited to how many deployables you can select to have available, only 3 at a time. Then you get coins from killing enemies, and spend the coins trying to keep your defenses up to protect the hypercores. Getting overwhelmed is pretty easy, and having your defense crumble, and not have enough money to fix them up is also common. Also, selecting 3 deployables to have available can hamstring you due to selecting say, a spike trap, defense walls, and a ground turret would leave you at a disadvantage if there are air enemies and you didn’t select the Anti-Air deployable.

    Over the last year or two they finally added a free-roam so you can at least enjoy exploring the lovingly crafted stages. I think they just missed an opportunity to make something more akin to Toy Commander for Dreamcast, rather then a wave based tower defense game.





  • Some background on me, I’m a IT geek, I love technology, I love VR, not a huge fan of apple. I couldn’t understand the use case for the Vision Pro, especially given battery life and other odd little limitations. The hardware sounded absolutely amazing, some incredible features, but Apple really wanted to distance the headset from VR, and instead was pushing this weird idea that you’d just sit and use the head in an Augmented Reality style interface for their eco system. Imagine wearing this thing during your child’s first birthday in order to capture a 3d video.

    It’s a shame, but it’s a solution looking for a problem. If they would have leaned hard into the incredible hardware to be a killer VR headset too, that may have helped a little bit. But as everyone else is saying… I’m not surprised by this outcome.






  • I read that Tesla being Tesla reinvented a ton of very standard components that other car manufacturers have been using for decades. So there are a lot of weird issues with Teslas that you wouldn’t see in a car from an established car maker. It’s Tesla ego which makes them think that they can design component better than a whole industry over decades and decades could.

    When the Model S came out, I thought it was the height of cool, but I wouldn’t consider buying one of their vehicles now. I think the only reason they even kinda did well was that the rest of the car makers were slow to start making EVs that looked decent and were priced reasonably. Now that the big boys are in the game, Tesla has been dropping the price of some of their models to try and stay competitive. But their cars have always had quality assurance issues, and their support isn’t decent at all, since they try to blame customers for things outside of their control.
