ID scanning has been a thing at clubs in Canada for a long time. There was no marketing associated, but I imagine it was an easy way to identify people banned from the bar.

The CIRA website lists a few when you search for an available name.

It’s a game changer with non-combat flight sims too. Camera-attached face tracking is a great secondary option, but that ability to move the camera with your head instead of using a controller input is so freeing.

There are quite a lot of fairly good quality IEMs that are really inexpensive these days. Most of Linsoul’s brands come to mind.

Right, if you’re somewhere cold, you can cover up pretty much everything and not be out of place. Now, eating a meal at a restaurant or spending an extended time indoors like that would be a little out of place.

I’m always curious if a non Android OS would work on these devices with multiple displays. I’d imagine likely only the main display would work without a fair bit of tinkering, which diminishes a fair bit of functionality for a device with 1.5 screens.

Former land surveyor. Was definitely counting my paces when I was not surveying.

Background: you’d often try to capture a grid of points, or cross section of a road, for example, at regular intervals. You’d roughly know your normal stride length conversion to metres, so if I were doing a 10m grid, it’d be: shoot a point, walk 11 paces, shoot a point, repeat for hundreds, sometimes thousands of points. It wasn’t long until you would be counting paces when you weren’t actively surveying.

There’s a fork called Tubular that implements SponsorBlock as well.

Tencent’s Arena Breakout is very similar to Tarkov. Like, watching it, you’d just think tarkov got a bit of an update. They don’t really care about IP unless it’s their own.

No one could’ve ever seen this coming…

I really hope this becomes the actual end of fossil fuels for common things, because we’ve demonstrated we are otherwise powerless against the oil barons, even when the end of the world is nigh.

I don’t really expect anything to be mainstream for a couple decades, but that’s better than never.

One’s willingness to say, “I don’t know” and a general ability to think critically.

Just today, a friend was yammering on about a situation he clearly had limited information on (Canada Post strike). We’ve aptly described him as confidentially incorrect. Don’t be this person.
