Get the fuck off my planet, you deranged fuckwits. Paying $1000 to have a few Zoom calls "in style"?

Also why the fuck is this bullshit scam-masquerading-as-investment asshattery in the "science" section of the news?

This week, Christie, a retired school teacher in Perth, paid a bit over $1,000 to buy a virtual penthouse in a place called Uphoria, one of the many metaverse worlds that are being launched this year. "The vision for this penthouse is rather than me hosting Zoom calls, I can send out my link to people to join me there," she said. "If we're going to do Zoom calls anyway, we might as well do it in style."
News headline in the "science" category, "why some Australians are paying real money for virtual land in the metaverse"
"We're looking at buying plots for our children. I see this absolutely becoming a money earner."

the interface is very sleek it's like a nicer OSF with fewer integrations but more focus on the intermediate steps. I too am excited to try and use it.

very much so. A lot of people no longer have fixed lines here, at least in the cities, relying on mobile phones, but out here in the country where we don't have mobile phone reception, fixed lines are kinda essential.
Much of the fixed line network is above ground too, meaning it is susceptible to lightning strike.

I finally caught a fairly good glimpse of the kingfisher!! #birb
A common kingfisher: small bird with long sharp bill, rufous underside, azure wings, turquoise back, and red feet. Its face has three patches of white, rufous, and azure. There are small white dots on its head and wings. It’s perched on a concrete bank.

Any devices should be able to communicate over UART so long as the logic level matches. This is a pretty common problem where some devices are 3.7v and some are 5v. If you hook up an o-scope to the tx pin you can see what the logic level is, which usually but definitely not always matches the Vcc of whatever chip.

It definitely should not matter whether a device is being powered by USB or battery, unless something else is malfunctioning. What baud rate are you running the signal?

I love the KoF series for that very reason! SO MANY CHARACTERS and each of them has a decent, if not fantastic, backstory. Leona typically hangs with the Ikari Warriors and she's an original character to KoF... I think.

There's an SNK/KoF wiki that is *such* a rabbit hole.

snk.fandom.com/wiki/The_King_o…

My long time favourite is King. A Muay Thai figher who's a formal bartender dressed in a tuxedo? Damn that's cool. πŸ˜ƒ

This article is about the game series. For the tournament, check The King of Fighters (tournament). The King of Fighters (ア・キング・γ‚ͺブ・フゑむターズ), officially abbreviated as KOF (γ‚±γƒΌγ‚ͺーエフ), is the most famous and prominent series of fighting games by SNK.
