All you need is a frequency modulator and to send four pulses of a specific amplitude at the right time in sequence, and then all the bullet costs are discounted.

“¡Muchos gracias, señor!”

People who don’t like Palworld, maybe give a real reason? The AI stuff was made up by a salty troll who admitted later he made it up. It being “legally distinct from pokémon” isn’t a good enough reason. It having the ability to

may be a reason to be upset about the gameplay, but then again, many, many, many RPGs have you culling the local wildlife and depopulating a nation for quests too. Neither is the Genshin Impact art style a reason to hate it. That’s just JRPG asthetics.

Gemini eats glue. Claude and ChatGPT are a lot more coherent.

The base model has a 250mi range, and the biggest boi battery is estimated to get close to an 800mi range. The batteries are almost half the size of other EV batteries because of how efficient this vehicle is.

Sword-Chucks. Fighter’s greatest invention. Comes with the slight risk of disarming yourself, literally.

1: VR motion sickness is an issue some people get, unfortunately. It happens if you have a mind that refuses to acknowledge and accept conflicting information from your inner ears and your eyes… which people with motion sickness often have. When you try to “push” yourself to accept VR movement when you are already feeling sick from it, it gets worse. You’re supposed to only do a few minutes of movement in VR at a time, and stop when you start feeling sick. Getting over this is referred to as “getting your VR legs”. Once you do, you will be able to do hours without it showing up, and motion sickness irl might get less problematic.

2: Standalone VR, which runs a special version of Android, as much as I’m not a fan, is already here and usable with the (absurdly affordable) Meta Quest series, the (Chinese alternative) Pico, the (Apple tax’ed expensive) Apple Vision, and possibly Valve’s new Index.

3: Not every game is meant to be played in VR, but vehicle games and a lot of other unique experiences that require you to have your head on a swivel or interact with lots of in-world objects in a 3D space? Amazing. Playing Flight Simulator without a VR headset just isn’t the same.

Good, now keep the momentum up, Aptera. You’re so close to the reality.

The Honda Civics of the 1980s did not have a drag coefficient below 0.2

2014… the POS edition (basically LTSC) was 2019

You do migrate to newer versions of those ossses with new de and backend lib versions, and all the breaking changes that entails which means spending another week chasing down broken stuff and learning how different things work now.

Which is about the same

Consider that Microsoft will have supported Windows 10 for 10 years as of next year, I will say it had a good run. Considering the longest support cycle for an OS I can find that is even remotely usable as a daily is Slackware 14.1, at 9 years, and support ended for that almost a year ago.

This is like people complaining about how Ubuntu 16.04 LTS support ended not long ago (2021-04-29)

Or macOS 10.9 Mavericks (2016-12-01)

Or Android 6.0 (2018-08-01)

Or Debian 8 “Jessie” (2018-06-17)

Or Linux Mint 17 (2019-07-01)

Or Fedora 23 (2016-12-20)

Or Slackware 14.1 (2024-01-01)

Of all of these, not even Slackware comes close to how long Microsoft has supported Windows 10 post release (2015)

It does, as DDR5 comes with rudimentary ECC protection builtin.

My problem is this is an AM4 system using DDR4 memory… already outdated.

Just imagine placing this in the front yard as an ornament and watching it sink into the ground from its weight.

Turns out vehicle simulations are hard. You either have games that play like a cabinet arcade or require a “simmer” setup (control cockpit) to really be good at.

And then there’s the work that goes into the level of detail. Example, Forza Horizon 5 doesn’t even have the underside of most cars modelled, to save on polys and performance, but there’s still a lot of little details that have to be modelled, textured, and sound recorded. This is even more important when a driving game goes into VR, because you will notice when something in the interior is missing or offmodel.

Also shoutout to Live For Speed, the active-since-Windows-XP open beta / early access mediumcore simulation that’s had VR support for a long while, and a release date that will probably coincide with Half Life 3.
