Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

hey, mac people, can any of you explain what this thing is supposed to do



quote:

Hi, Kickstarter! Zabosu’s developed an incredible, almost magical service that lets one person actually take control of another person, anywhere in the world there’s a 4G cellular signal. It’s not quite as crazy as it sounds. The person being controlled, who we call an “Actor,” starts our app and sticks their phone in a pocket (or on a lanyard) with the camera facing out to stream live audio and video of their surroundings.

The person controlling them, who we call a “Director,” connects to the stream with a web browser to see and hear everything going on around the Actor, from the Actor’s point of view. The Director also speaks to the Actor using the computer’s microphone and the Actor’s earpiece. Because the Director is paying the Actor, the Actor does what the Director tells them to do. The intention, in most applications, is to make the Actor a human extension, or projection, of the Director into whatever environment the Actor happens to be in.

Control actual human beings in public live over the internet!

the plug part is detachable so apple can make one adapter and sell all sorts of foreign plugs to fit in that corner. idk why you would remove the plug when it's not being used, or why you would give your nice rounded square adapter a giant tumor on its side like that

i am about 90% sure this is not the first crowdfunding attempt for a thing to hold your un-used macbook plug thing

i seem to recall the original one strapped on instead of gluing in place but i couldn't find it with google site:kickstarter.com

they sell longer cords, so you can use the un-corded adapter at your desk or whatever, and then have a long cord when you want to plug in across the room

pro tip: when you lose one, you can substitute a standard iec c7 power cord, available just about anywhere

you won't get a ground connection but you don't get one with the north american duckhead anyways so w/e

it felt like there was too much narration sometimes, but i haven't done a proper study of before-and-after to see whether that's just my perception

netflix season was terrible and had too many character changes (they shouldn't have had made michael quite so pathetic as everyone else, they need some semblance as a straight man)

the reason it was so convoluted was because they needed a reason for having none of the main characters ever interact together and instead go on dumb side adventures with terrible side characters

so many scenes of characters green screened into static rooms talking to a stand-in
