Hey, asking for a friend…

But does anyone know of a clip-on LIDAR emitter we could wear? Those things absolutely burn holes through digital camera sensors!

At least it would stop Gamers^TM from complaining about how “ugly” that character is?

AiSS: Arbitrarily Interfering Super Slop

I think that movement in general has similar vibes to:

I mean, Sony & Microsoft consoles are basically PCs with a custom OS now already (PS4 onwards, and Xbox One both used x86-64 CPUs).

There are fewer and fewer reasons to buy a specific (and expensive) piece of hardware that is less flexible in terms of functionality than the alternatives, so this is Sony trying to protect their own fiefdom.

Fuck ‘em.

Not quite the same thing, but I used an LLM to cobble together a HTML file that allows me to search for products on Coles, Woolies, Aldi and Amazon at the same time in the same window (via frames and a Firefox extension to get around some security settings).

Works a treat when planning our big shops for the week, and has already saved us hundreds of dollars since Jan.

18yo me would be living in the early 2000s; any of these would set me up for life: “Bitcoin hits $100K” “Buy Tesla shares” - this also would work for any of the big brands Netflix/Nvidia etc.

But this one would probably change my life in a much more meaningful way: “Don’t lose her.”

GTA6 is likely going to be the only reason I’d get one, because the rest of the exclusives have been pretty lacklustre.

The fact this plays so well (interface wise) on a smartphone is ridiculous…

…massive nostalgia vibes, and I don’t even have to juggle 6 floppy disks to boot!
