The most-watched weekly news program is showing a story on Pokemon Go

They're explaining in layman terms what augmented reality is

And how in the future there will be a device that overlays visual information on top of the real world by the means of special glasses

I... I think they're predicting Google Glass.

Not wishing to incite any political debate here, but just look at the downvotes at this video:

Seriously, what is with the heat? If the average American can identify a problem, why can't he think of a solution?

The comments remind me of something I'd find on Yahoo News.

Over and over we have seen that people hate every president.

The same baseless arguments and rhetoric are punted left and right, ad nauseum.

CausingUnderflowsEverywhere

OMG I WISH A CAT BATTED ME WITH HER PAWS BUT ONLY IF SHE HAS NO NAILS IMAGINE A FURRY THINGIE BATTING YOU

oldmud0

What will the buzzword of the future be? Sentient AI homicide?

@CausingUnderflowsEverywhere Thank you for preventing underflow, by causing overflow.

Also, I do have a cat with no front claws. It's cute when she tries to box me

Journeyman Geek

2:32 AM

@CausingUnderflowsEverywhere declawing a cat is a little like cutting off your fingers at a knuckle.

You know one of these days you'll see me at MIT working to make sentient AI like it's no big deal

Anything can happen.

Hello!

CausingUnderflowsEverywhere

Actually by causing overflow I produce underflow. I expand buffer sizes to a size so grand that regulars like you can only ever manage to produce a buffer underflow. ; @oldmud0

yikes we do not want to declaw a cat here.

Journeyman Geek

3:16 AM

The 'humane' way to avoid cat shreddage may be something called 'claw claps'

CausingUnderflowsEverywhere

yes I read about this on the cat website what does it mean

Journeyman Geek

or staying away from the pointy bits

CausingUnderflowsEverywhere

oh thats terrible advice

Journeyman Geek

they stick false, blunt claws over the real claws

I need to talk my dad into a more modern phone ._.

CausingUnderflowsEverywhere

you should've bought him a blackberry classic

Journeyman Geek

he has a galaxy ace 2

surprisingly, nothing's failed yet

even the battery

CausingUnderflowsEverywhere

oh the classic is larger

Journeyman Geek

eh. Blackberry is dead. Its an ex-os. Its pinging for the fjords. It would be falling off its perch if it wasn't nailed on...

Psycogeek

3:36 AM

on blackberry weird thing, i was in the phone store paying the bill, and glanced by the samsungs and the lGs to see whats "new" they had a blackberry in there that was full screen type. it was an android blackberry or do we call that a droidberry

Journeyman Geek

yeah, BB10 is mostly dead

BB classic is totally dead

oldmud0

how about a nokia 3310

Journeyman Geek

@oldmud0 nokia 3310s will likely outlast all of us

oldmud0

they say that when you drop one, it breaks the floor

Journeyman Geek

Its the Chuck Norris of phones

oldmud0

3:37 AM

yes, they also say that one of the members of the design team also worked in the manhattan project

truly, the sales of that phone exploded after release

and the consumer market was not convinced, so nokia did it again

they dropped another nokia phone

the outcome was absolutely catastrophic, motorola was considering committing sudoku at the time

Edity

@djsmiley2k yes.

tommorow my name will be flipped..

Journeyman Geek

@Bob yeah. I got an original battery cheap. Battery store lady says old one was overcharged.

Cheapish. DX was cheaper but they don't ship batteries here any more.

@Bob not that sharp I think....

Anyway, new battery obtained. I'll take photos then drop off the old one at an ewaste bin next time I'm at a place with one.

Edity

6:52 AM

@JourneymanGeek that thing is going down the trash, son!

Journeyman Geek

..... Joy. I just realised financial would have one but they closed.

Edity

oh?

for the day or for good?

Funan. Autocucumbered that.

My phone company has bins so I'll pop it there And hope it does not catch fire in the meanwhile.

Untouched for half a decade

And those were big batteries o.O

...I hope the self discharge isn't a fire hazard...

Journeyman Geek

@Bob just generally speaking things with li-ion almost no mater how badly screwed up and poorly maintained, it is not until you start pouring power into them. waste power from battery not accepting the charge = heat.

Journeyman Geek

@Burgi most planned cities are

Bob

@JourneymanGeek Sydney is pretty far from planned

Oliver Salzburg

9:05 AM

@JourneymanGeek That comment...

Journeyman Geek

@OliverSalzburg clearly part of the magic smoke denying illuminati

DavidPostill

Most cities evolve from something much smaller, so in that sense they are not planned. Some few cities are planned in advance and then just built. In AU apparently Adelaide, Melbourne and Canberra were planned cities.

Planned community

A planned community, or planned city, is any community that was carefully planned from its inception and is typically constructed in a previously undeveloped area. This contrasts with settlements that evolve in a more ad hoc fashion. Land use conflicts are less frequent in planned communities since they are planned carefully. The term new town refers to planned communities of the new towns movement in particular, mainly in the United Kingdom. It was also common in the European colonization of the Americas to build according to a plan either on fresh ground or on the ruins of earlier Amerindian...

did you have the sound prob too?

But yeah, it does sorta need big internets

Naw, but the sound on my S7 is pretty shite regardless

Bob

but not constant stuttering shite

maybe it was cause I used BT audio? :\

aptX too...

cat

Nope, just crap quality speaker

On the other hand I was mighty impressed with the ridiculouslness of modern technology... I can walk around town with some device strapped to my head and stream virtual reality video wirelessly to my face at over a hundred megabits per second...

Bob

@cat I think mine peaked at 70 when I did a special test

Annoyingly the only network in the UK capable of >100Mbps speeds is also the most retarded and useless at managing their network efficiently

Want the maximum Zenfone you can have? Get anything other than the Zenfone Max

Rahul2001

I've always thought having so many variants is stupid

Perhaps that is one of the reasons for Apple's success...

Imagine having an iPhone max and ultra and deluxe and laser and ultimate...

Journeyman Geek

yup

That's one thing google-moto got right

granted. My parents would likely go into a phone store, and pick whatever's cheapest and ~~samsung~~ shiniest.

@JourneymanGeek They're selling 5 right now

Journeyman Geek

ala what google-moto did

@cat they've always sold the last gen

cat

And that's not considering they used to sell the iPhone 4s after iPhone 6 came out Because the iPhone 5c was a flop, and the SE hadn't been invented yet.

Journeyman Geek

Also, apple's vaguely generic ;p

cat

And not considering the iPhone SE is basically a rebadged iPhone 5ss
