i goddamn fuckin hate airpods because we have a "no headphones in the shop" rule for obvious safety reasons and it used to be easy to tell bc you'd just look for the cord but now they're almost invisible. i have to wave my hands in people's faces to get their attention. real fuckin helpful if i'm ten feet behind you and notice you're about to cut off your hands

i don't know where the hell the google thread went, so here google kills their laptop and tablet teams to focus on game console development, a long term goal which surely they won't abandon after a couple half-assed products bought by approximately no one in which they completely fail to gain any significant traction in the market

google trying to make hardware is a neverending source of lols* somehow theyre even worse at it than apple is at web services, original content, and gaming * with the weird exception of the chromecast, which is just perfect (and perfectly priced) for what it does

Like at least with a phone the replacement cycle is short enough that grabbing a good ( ) GooPhon you can at least tell yourself that you’re  ing that they won’t kill development before your 2 years are up.But a long-term purchase like a console?

" or would it mostly be blank, uncomprehending stares, accompanied by "doesn't look like anything to me  " ?

yes, game streaming is truly mind blowing and revolutionary and not a commercial product that has existed for almost a decade with roughly no adoption

Yeah, I don't forsee it working for anyone without the best internet connection money can buy even with their 7500 edging locations and I wouldn't trust Google to see anything through anyway.infernal machines posted:yes, game streaming is truly mind blowing and revolutionary and not a commercial product that has existed for almost a decade with roughly no adoption It goes beyond the other game streaming services, it's a dev platform supported by Unreal/Unity that lets you do cool things on the cloud. So instead of simulating multiple copies of a game that connects to a server, it's all there in a single, synced instance that can have really complex physics or whatever because there's no client-side calculation. Split screen co-op wouldn't incur a performance penalty. Shareable game-states off a browser url, game invites off a url, video streaming can obviously been done from the cloud. I think this is unique, but tbh I haven't paid that much attention to game streaming. Most of the coolest poo poo needs devs to start with developing on the cloud instead of just porting it so it's pretty unlikely, but just the fact everyone has a browser means the barrier to entry for a new player is lower than a flash game. Having a free triple AAA game demo available at a click in a browser and having it seamlessly transition into the full game because google knows all your credit card details might get studios to try it. Even if it's just a decent port, they announced Doom Eternal will be launching at 4k HDR 60 fps. For a college student without money to blow on a great computer, that's an awesome value proposition. And here's a cool ML art prototyping thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUih5C5rOrA&t=3340s
