Reminds me of Coffee Stain Studio’s trailer for the release of Goat MMO Simulator:

More like unexpected new features, like the all new spontaneous exit row!

It’s called 3 voice as there were 3 tone channels but there’s a 4th (visible here in the top left) “noise” channel that can be used to play samples.

True on the digit by digit code decryption. That I can forgive in the name of building tension and “counting down” in a visible way for the movie viewer. “When will it have the launch code?!” “In either 7 nano seconds or 12 years…”

If they had been more accurate, it would have looked like the Bender xmas execution scene from Futurama:

I did like the fact that they showed war-dialing and doing research to find a way into the system. It’s also interesting that they showed some secure practices, like the fact there was no banner identifying the system or OS, giving less info to a would be hacker. Granted, now a days it would have the official DoD banner identifying it as a DoD system.

I remember with Windows 95, LAN Manager passwords were hashed in two 7 digit sections which made extracting user password from the password hash file trivial:

Looks like it was worse than I remember. The passwords were first converted to all upper case first!

In addition to the explanation others have mentioned, here it is in graph form. See the where the graph of 2^x intersects the y axis (when x=0):

This also has some additional verbal explanations:

The simplest way I think of it is by the properties of exponentials:

2^3 / 2^2 = (2 * 2 * 2) / (2 * 2) = 2 = 2^(3-2)

Dividing two exponentials with the same base (in this case 2) is the same as that same base (2) to the power of the difference between the exponent in the numerator minus the exponent in the denominator (3 and 2 in this case).

Now lets make both exponents the same:

2^3 / 2^3 = 8/8 = 1

2^3 / 2^3 = 2^(3-3) = 2^0 = 1

If Steam can do it, so can 23andme.

The specific quote:

“Nobody has any idea where these people are coming from, and we know they come from prisons. We know they come from mental institutions and insane asylums. We know they’re terrorists. Nobody has ever seen anything like we’re witnessing right now. It is a very sad thing for our country. It’s poisoning the blood of our country.”

From the article:

Laura Barrón-López, White House correspondent for PBS, told viewers last night, “I checked with a historian, Ruth Ben-Ghiat, and she said that language that he’s using … echoes language used in Nazi propaganda by Adolf Hitler when Adolf Hitler actually said that Jewish people and migrants were ‘causing a blood poisoning’ of Germany.”

Just have to patch in the Linux sound drivers from the 90s!

It should have a custom desktop environment called Crackle (or Krackle if KDE based).

Figures we get this before we get a series on the true hero, Willrow Hood /s

Nah, he’s from Arkansas.

It’s a work injury.

It’s in the article:

The $20 minimum wage is just a starting point. The law creates a fast food council that has the power to increase that wage each year through 2029 by 3.5% or the change in averages for the U.S. Consumer Price Index for urban wage earners and clerical workers, whichever is lower.

The raise takes effect on April 1

For the Quest 2, the ideal setup is a dedicated (but inexpensive) router for wireless communicating with the headset. Last I looked a few specific models of semi-generic $50 routers were tested by the community.

Then you can either run your PC lan connection through that router or if you have a second Ethernet connection, use one just for that router.

Frametimes is the specific measure.

<11.1ms for 90Hz or <8.33ms for 120Hz

If the game, experience, or whatever breaches that minimum frame time frequently, then you can experience nausea just from moving your head around.

It does require some sacrifices like turning shadows down a notch or two in some game engines and choosing additional visual effects carefully. Some visual effects require additional computation passes and can add the the frame time.

A low latency CPU (like the AMD 3D cache CPUs) or a normal mid to high end CPU with fast memory with good timings helps quite a bit.

The GPU should be capable of pushing the pixels and shading for the target resolution. Even with a 6900xt I’ve been able to comfortably push over 4500x3000 per eye rendering (enough to get a nice anti-aliasimg effect on my Pimax 8kX at the “normal” 150 degree H.FoV) in most games.

Surprisingly, fidelity FX can help as well (the non-temporal version).
