How do you feel about the expression "updated for modern audiences" in remasters and remakes?
  • I started playing the last of us 2 remastered. I didn't play the original (but did play 1 remastered). I don't know if it was modified "for modern audiences", but it would depend a lot.

    Having more characters from Asian or African descent would please me. Making it look more like the (in my opinion) excellent tv series would be less great, but understandable. Removing the whole "military is bad" arc (like they did in the tv show), would suck.

  • For your 2 headphones, there are 3.5mm splitters, small devices where you plug in 2 headphones, and plug then into one walkman. Works with any brand of headphones :)

    I'm looking for the Bluetooth version of that. Connect the btsplitter to the phone, and two headphones to the splitter. Edit: found easily.

  • Hamburg: Climate activists let air out of tyres of 33 cars (mainly SUVs!) again
  • They're not leaking the air out while the car is driven. Modern European cars all have pressure sensors and will warn the driver when there isn't enough air in the tires to drive safely. Saves you from walking around the vehicle to see if everything is tied and pumped up properly.

  • Hamburg: Climate activists let air out of tyres of 33 cars (mainly SUVs!) again
  • Everyone is pointing at the others for the actual cause. The corporations that buy the stuff you move around in your truck should be targeted? Or the politicians that allow you to buy a gas gurgler (and ruin the environment) by driving it around without it being prohibitively expensive?

    Or should you suffer because you bought the car and are driving it into city centers (where public transport is available, and most SUVs are not used for hauling goods)

  • Would you use teleporter technology if it existed? Why or Why not?
  • Imagine, going for a skiing trip and when you get down, you don't queue for the lift, but you just ski into the portal and continue at the top of some piste. The commute gets insanely short, I can WFH, pop in for lunch or a coffee chat, and then jump back home to do some work.

    I've read that the cells in my body aren't the same as the ones I was born with, so I did a very slow gradual body swap already, possibly a few times.

  • Goodreads was the future of book reviews. Then Amazon bought it.
  • The feature I liked most in goodreads, was that it would send you a monthly email with "new books by authors you've read". It would send it at the start of the month, which was not actionable, but if you'd just wait a few months reading it, it was easy to see that LE Modesitt Jr finished another book in the series I enjoyed.

    They stopped sending that, now it's a "here are some books we want you to show some interest in".

    I got a bookwyrm account, and apart from not knowing all the books I've read, they also can't tell me what books have come out recently, by authors I enjoyed in the past.

    I'd think that would be a basic part of any book collection tool.
