During the entire time I followed the hardware, Nintendo refused to acknowledge the issue and even only replaced them on countries that brought meaningful legal action to them. When you say newer ones do you mean Nintendo or other manufacturers? I still seem to only find hall effect ones from third parties on our poor excuse of a search engine (google).

For those of us that didn't follow VR, which controllers are drift prone.

From a non-VR perspective, the switch controller I own suck and drift. Is it that bad as well on that front?

Who is the guy on the top left?

Instructions unclear, they got ran over at the intersection by a dodge ram with a lift kit that could not see them.

You didn't sneak anything in, they just don't care enough. Even the most useless IT admin has a GUI to see any and all executables that any user runs. They even know if you use bat or sh scripts that you add an argument with a plain text password (which is considered amateurish since it leaves the credentials directly on the history).

Also fair warning, most endpoint security software that companies are forced to use nowadays (if they want consideration to work with certain clients like state and federal) do SSL man in the middle with certificates they push to their hardware. Accessing personal data and websites using company resources is like handing out your password to them, and at least in the US, could open you up for litigation of you get on their bad side for how you use company resources.

Above might not apply to startups, but as mentioned, if they want to work with certain clients, they have to run that kind of software to be considered for contracts. This means actions could have delayed consequences if a client has some audit request for any reason.

I used them for Christmas lights with that sundown condition (+just a time trigger for off at night).

Also came in handy for a light switch that was unfortunately on the wrong side from a table, now its just uses a motion sensor when someone walks to the kitchen and tells a third reality smart switch (screws on top of regular switch, so it works with any light type (e.g. fluorescent)) and is renter friendly.

Bonus points for no lag at all compared to crappy cloud dependent garbage and no need for apps for each device manufacturer. Just look if it is home assistant compatible and no cloud before buying devices since it us a lot harder or impossible in some cases to de-cloud them later.

Edit: plus same motion sensor concept to link several lights on the living room (those are just dimmable smart lights on table and floor lamps). Makes the place look cozy and feel well illuminated vs the usual single light with a wall switch. Aquara Wireless clicker to toggle between dim percentages. Its awesome (third reality or other home assistant friendly brand would work, I just already had this one).

Not as much of a stop as you would think. Historically speaking Ford motor company already tried basically enslaving indigenous people on the Amazon for rubber production. Most of the cotton in the US (and many other industries) was done by black slaves. Current fishing in south east Asia (and other places I'm sure) can have slaving with extra steps on a boat. Apple/Nike and other big brand factories in chine have had nets installed to prevent suicides, etc. There is no stopping the horrible disease that is wealth hoarding and human exploration it seems.

NVIDIA said line must go circle, which their CEO says means up.

Its nice when "supporting" happens to align with better/more options in the future.

Having to install powetoys on top of the OS makes it DOA for many on corporate environments. You get stuck on approval limbo or if someone else went through the pain, you discover it breaks every once in a while due to missing .net dependencies that you don't have the right to install. I've seen this for both development (w10 w/ extended support) and thin clients (w11).

Unfortunately our clients all use Windows development machines, so we are stuck on the same to be able to write the guides and documentation. Most of our scripts now rely on Got bash since we know that's available. MS environments are hostile to proper scripting and automation.

Depends how it's handled. If its just a gag and you show investors a shiny graph with a line going up (# of toilet paper holders went up this week!), it could work.

E.g.: in some of the roller coaster tycoon games, you could fire staff, but it wasn't necessarily a core mechanic.
