I spent a few years living in a developing country in Africa so I have some appreciation of what you’re going through. I used to find lots of technology shops on Google Maps, etc, then when I got there they just sold phone covers and SIM cards and knock-off iPhones.

I can’t really offer much advice but have you considered just making something based on a second hand laptop? A lot of them are still pretty powerful just with old batteries and they’re designed to run efficiently.

Once they’ve done that they can get back to wondering why no other country wants American cars.

I have done in the past but it’s not a common thing. It really something I did when I was a kid. In the last 10 years I’ve actually done a bit of sleepwalking. It only really happens when I’m drunk but it’s always been quite fun as I usually just hear the stories in the morning. I’m not just wandering around aimlessly, there’s usually some kind of logic going on. You know when you’re in a dream and you have some kind of weird backstory to what you’re doing but you don’t know how you know it, you just know. I’m kind of walking around slightly conscious of where I am but with some weird backstory. Most of the time I just think it’s daytime and I’m doing something, like going to work.

Poland’s always been pretty right-wing.

I really don’t think you need to worry about them but the cause of the wrinkles is important. If it’s due to muscular movement then collagen can help a bit.

I like them.

It’s so different now that the kids can just put on the telly and get it whenever they want. In the old days it was sort of self-regulating, in that the shows were only on in the morning, and parents didn’t need to worry.

My car’s 25 years old. Can’t think of anything else.

I always thought it's kind of odd how frivolous we are with IPv6 addresses given the problems that gave us with IPv4. US DoD has like 200 million IPv4 addresses and they probably only use a tiny fraction of that. There's also a bunch of old companies like HP, IBM, and Apple, that have entire /8s, so that's 16 million IPs each. I know IPv6 is ridiculously bigger but we're talking about giving IP addresses to our lightbulbs now at a time we're also looking to inhabit other planets.

I don't understand what this means, but try and find a single Windows user who cares (assuming everyone here is on Linux).

Interesting to actually be able to experience this kind of AI tech that we’ve heard will replace polygons eventually but calling it interactive is somewhat misleading. I thought I’d be able to knock things over and interact with objects but all you can do it walk around. There’s definitely some kind of seeding as the scenes are always similar and there’s only so far you can walk before it resets you back.

I tried to walk up some steps that appeared to be out of bounds and everything started turning yellow. I tried to back down and turn around and somehow got slowly teleported to a different place in the scene.
