    My guess is the blue screen picture is fake, but it’s still pretty funny.

    Only a matter of time before somebody hacks this and starts playing porn for the whole city.

    Yeah, it’s amazing how much of a pass Vegas gets about the complete lack of sustainability. Like, for instance, I don’t know, having tons of thirsty tourists and gigantic pools in the middle of a freaking desert! Kinda nuts…

    Thanks for that, I definitely learned some. I’m not surprised that it takes some smart thinking to get this to even be remotely possible, and it’s interesting to read what smart thinking goes into it. I was at Lake Mead recently, and it was impressive to be explained how much it had receded over the past few years, and how much of a strain on it Vegas keeps putting despite the mitigation. I wonder how long before it just runs out, if it does; and what happens next.

    The US has terrible land management in general. You build these huge sprawling cities made of low density suburbs, both wasting productive farmland in the east and isolated in the middle of the desert in the west. It's all completely nuts.

    That wouldn't be an electrician's fault. This is an error in windows. Realistically it would prob be the fault of some unknown programmer

    Sorry, but you can't know that. A bluescreen is often caused by hardware errors, like faulty RAM modules and so on. In theory this could absolutely be caused by an unstable energy supply that could be the fault of an electrician. I am not saying that this is likely, but we cannot know.

    Is this a shoop or did this actually happen?

    I assume this is fake, but still very funny.

    I am having a hard time reasoning why companies use windows for such things. Sure it's convenient and has a great (size, not that the economy is good) economy. But the OS is bs when it comes to stability.

    What is this? Did they remake the sphere from Expo 2017, but in Vegas?

    My lifetime goal has been to speed run Super Metroid on the biggest screens possible... Anybody want to hook me up?

    This looks like it would make a hilarious Akira edit
