It's insane to me that Apple TV has this feature and iPad still doesn't.

Very likely part of their bots output. The ultimate goal isn’t to make useful things, but to “teach” others how to do it and convince them how successful they can become.

I thought Martin Luther's issue was more with the organization selling indulgences than the undeserving buying them. He preached justification by faith alone. Not some org selling justification.

No it’s fine to spy on US citizens as long as we (NSA) have the access and control that we want to the greater world population data. They aren’t okay with China taking that role/opportunity from them.

I'm a huge Nintendo/Mario fan but I've recently been playing through Astro Bot on my PS5 and I must say, when you combine super fun mechanics with amazing graphics and performance, it's quite an experience! But there isn't nearly enough content like this on the non-Nintendo consoles, so point is definitely not lost on me.

With a fixed wing drone of your own of course!

Loved this series. I watched it before starting Yellowstone and it stands on its own very well.

It's a bit creepy when the ratio is 2 to 1 or more and/or a significant age difference of the male to female attendees...

I switched to an Apple Trackpad and it basically cured my wrist issues that I was experiencing.

I can agree that I wouldn't want to see this type of content take over HN... and I don't think it would. But a little sprinkled in seems fine.

Maybe a little bit of humanity and feel good is just what HN needs! These computers and software and such are after all for... humans mostly.

Wow! That's dedication! You should at least start a Youtube Channel with the content. There are probably some odd folks out there that would enjoy watching that. Add a condenser microphone for some ASMR hits!

It hasn't exactly been a clean path. Fat Mike has been on and off through the years and they never stopped singing about doing drugs. That said I think they are vegetarians and otherwise relatively health conscious.

Is there a reason they couldn't just reuse the same steel over and over just to process the cement at scale?

My opinion, and its very naive because I've only really tried the Vision Pro for this type of content, but immersive video is the current killer app for the Vision Pro. Sitting in the studio with Alicia Keys warming up for her tour was almost equal parts uncomfortable and amazing.

Tourism is the ONLY industry for many regions... I recently lived in one. Without it, the areas would likely not exist as places to live at all.
