I take it the playfulness is a good sign for Sandy

I think this is my first time seeing a Lemmy post show up on the Hacker News feed

I remember when one of the Guitar Hero games was first released for Xbox, they soon had a big problem where lots of guitar peripherals were behaving strangely. I think in the end the whammy bar wasn’t always going to what the sensor read as 100 or 0 or something like that because of weak springs or poor physical fit with the plastic, and in the end the fix was basically to adjust how the values were read in software.

And even crazier to me is The Triangle is expected to pass the Charlotte metro in the next 2 years or so!

It might be changing; my cousin’s kids grew up in the Charlotte area (not all born there) and the younger daughter got married last year and is still in the Charlotte area. She did a year or two at NC State but transferred back to UNC Charlotte and has stayed there ever since. Her older sister has moved around a bit but I think she’s back in the Charlotte area now, too.

I was literally reminded of this The Onion article today:

I thought Misskey and its forks already supported quote posts?

That’s a good point; modern pages would choke our old 2G/3G plans!

What a wild story

I don’t know why Facebook puts so much junk in the links, but there’s a setting for Safari to remove that automatically.

 

It’s kind of worse when you see it on the map, because it appears to be running parallel to an existing developed area, like they built a bypass through the rainforest for the climate summit, not a road for someplace previously unconnected.

 

I had two BlackBerry devices for work, right about the time they were going away. I'd heard the keyboard was good on earlier models but it seemed like the quality had gotten pretty cheap on the later phones. The BlackBerry 10 OS on my last phone was actually pretty good, and probably would've kept them in the market if they'd launched it 5 years earlier.
