The Communication Cube


 
Peony has started picking up Americanisms. We were watching a video earlier and she came out with "Wow! That colour really pops.".
On an unrelated note, we're going on holiday next week. I do like a nice view so I got us a room on the 28th floor and I even paid extra to get a room with a balcony.

Got new glasses, this time whit blue filter (for Computer Work), and they get Automatic darker when they got exposed to sunlight, ( so i dont need sunglasses ) .. , will post a new pictures as far as i get spare time for this, so hopefully it will help move these mole pictures on the "Post Pictures of yourself" Thread to a few pages away..
 
I spotted a Steam Deck in the Ukrainian arsenal to control remote control machine guns:

They would rather use a Pyra, as the Steamdeck is much too big.. but in comparassion to what a usual militari used device for this purpose would cost, its a quite clever idea ^^

But you have much better shoulderbuttons on Steamdeck for Fire Controll as they are Analogue ..
 
The Steamdeck got lots of Updates, and this can get quite anoying, and its eats quite some batterie ^^

But better to use the steamdeck for this purpose, than a cheap logitech gamepad to controll a Submarine ...

I was so surprised as you seem, but it seems to be standard practice, and it kind of makes sense and doesn't at the same time...
I mean:
The video-game industry always will outspend the military on improving human-computer interaction.
Can someone stop Earth, I'd like to step down. Does anyone know a planet where expense on water/fire-retardant drone bomber controllers for forest fire fighting outspends games, and military spending is zero ? Do they want me in ?

I learned today that the Wii had some memory storage in the Wii-mote controller, so you could use a personal controller and move between Wii's with some settings, avatars (Mii's) or savegames. Only a handful of games really supported it though, transferring Mii's could be useful for more games that used Mii-characters in-game.

Last one.
Looks like a harmless villain, I'm not an expert in recognizing villains though.
 
After watch an old Quake 3 video I was re-watching a video from 2012 where John Carmack explains his view on VR headsets and the prototype he's working on (Oculus Rift) including a future stand-alone mode (which became the Quest I guess).
They paved lots of current technology, from Wolfenstein 3D to a more universal rendering pipeline, shaders and VR.
