I hated Kai Winn so fuckin much
That is discussed in the article:
The Discovery Channel series “MythBusters” featured episodes in 2004, 2006 and 2010 testing out scenarios for the purported death ray but ultimately declared the legend to be a myth when each test failed to light a wooden boat on fire. In 2005, a class of students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, inspired by the show’s first episode, was able to ignite a wooden boat once with a similar technique to Sener’s on a larger scale, but failed on a second attempt.
Sener said he believes that combining MIT’s findings with his own, the data could suggest the death ray was plausible, and Archimedes likely could have used the sun’s rays with large mirrors to cause combustion. But the technology may not work in cold temperatures or cloudy weather, and the sea’s impact on the ships’ motion affects the practicality of this device, he added in his paper.
If you’re just wanting the functionality of a Steamdeck on some other device, there are a variety of ways to accomplish that. If the other device is an Android, you can just install the Steam Link app and you’re off to the races. If it’s something else, depending on the device you can probably get Moonlight running on it, which will accomplish the same thing but will actually have more versatility than you’d get with a Steamdeck anyway.
Best thing to do is use an external monitor. You can connect the phone via whatever USB interface it has - there are cheap USB to HDMI adapters on Amazon which should do the trick.
Cool, always glad to see another user who makes an effort to submit content - I’m glad you’re doing the same. I took issue with your title for this post, and I think I expressed that adequately here. Take care.
Yeah, it’s definitely clear that you don’t enjoy the MCU. I don’t think anyone has an issue with you feeling that way. What I don’t like to see is when content is misrepresented in titles when posted, it degrades the quality of the platform as a whole and encourages reactions which aren’t based on the actual content.
Did you read the article? “MCU” appears nowhere in it and Sony is mentioned 10+ times. This has nothing to do with the MCU whatsoever.
It’s such a good book. I hope the series lives up.
It really is shocking that they could somehow get more mainstream
One of the cases where piracy can mean preservation
Yep, there was a time when streaming services actually became easier than piracy. That was when there was basically just Netflix and Hulu. If you had both of those, you had everything.
Yes, I agree with this. I’ve thought about this before, and Star Wars doesn’t really qualify as “Science Fiction”, because we never learn about the science of anything. It’s just there - part of the scenery. That’s the fantasy aspect; we’re not thinking about realism or how things work, we are just fantasizing about a cool futuristic space setting with space magic and swords with blades made of light.
My favorite part of that episode is right after Picard gets there and finds out what’s going on. He takes one look at the ghost and is just like “Come on Beverly, we’re getting out of here.”
Even he was like, fuck this shit I’m out.
Feeling morally responsible for the actions of an entire nation sounds like a great way to give yourself ulcers.
But seriously, even in a “democracy”, there is too much shady shit going on behind the curtain to really hold the general public accountable for all of it.
And it didn’t matter anyway, because the folks at Disney were going to fuck it up no matter how she did.
Joel’s head is starting to hurt already
I love that this movie is always billed as “starring Mark Hamill”, but he’s a supporting character.
