A microsd card slot and a headphone jack

ESPN NFL 2K5, and All-Pro Football 2K8 were very ahead of their time. In many areas, Madden has still failed to catch up to these titles.

I bet being MKBHD would be the best job in the world. You get all this stuff for free and then make an insane amount of money talking about it on camera.

It definitely seems like a luxury, but being able to essentially sit in a movie theater by yourself while flying in a plane sounds really nice.

I think the end goal would be AR/VR built into your glasses that are as light as current day glasses. We are probably a long time away from that, but I feel like most VR headsets right now are beta versions of this end goal.

I paid $3000 to build my pc, to be an early adopter of what seems to be groundbreaking tech, sure. Gotta start saving now though lol.

Also, the first iPhone is $40k today unopened. Maybe if you buy Apple’s first VR headset and never open it, 10 years later it’ll be worth a ton?

Using Zorin OS right now and it might be my favorite Linux distro ever. It’s like a stock, good version of Windows 10 or 11 (it’s obviously not Windows but that’s just an easy comparison visually speaking). For the longest time I couldn’t get myself to fully switch to Linux due to needing to use video editing software for my job, but installing DaVinci Resolve Studio on Zorin was a breeze, and they even have an easy to follow guide for doing so.

Technically 2024 but the Apple Vision Pro headset is blowing my mind

Agreed!

Lemmy does give me a strong nostalgic feeling of old school forums. I think the Fediverse is going to give enthusiasts what they’ve been missing. I just hope it lasts and continues to grow.

That’s what pisses me off about Bluesky. Mastodon already exists, and is not for profit. We don’t need another “decentralized” platform that intentionally doesn’t talk to the Fediverse and is trying to create its own version. Yet my fear is Bluesky will end up being mainstream and those for-profit CEOs will continue running the internet into the ground. I hope people end up realizing Mastodon already exists, and is a better version of what Bluesky wants to be.

Excellent post, and I love your sites minimal, old school design. I finally found the right corner of the internet where people actually think about this kind of thing! It’s so frustrating how over the years search engine results just give you bloated, pointless articles that exist only to rank high in SEO and get ad revenue.

I too have been using the site:reddit.com method, but it sucks to essentially only have one for-profit website as the one I use to research things.

I miss the old internet

Yeah I installed Linux Mint Cinnamon today and for some reason I couldn’t get working drivers for my wifi card installed, so I tried Zorin instead. I really love the look and feel, but I’m still having the no wifi issue. Weird. If I can’t get it to work I may need to buy a new wireless adapter. Mine is the Asus PCE-AC68

Edit: Fixed it by cutting all power to the power supply, waiting a few minutes, pushing the power button while there was no power to fully drain any remaining power from the board, then I flipped the power supply back on, turned on the computer, booted straight to bios, then to Linux, now everything works great.

But why use it over Mastodon?

Bluesky is just a knock-off version of Mastodon that is for profit. It claims to be decentralized yet the only instance running on their AT Protocol is Bluesky. Plus I’ve heard they plan on having an algorithm based feed, which just sounds like exactly what I’m trying to avoid.
