@aprikitkat That is a happy snuggly cat

Look at this kitty

@EthosVentures @PlanetOfMemes @SawyerMerritt Yeah, it looks like it smacked its "hand" on its side while correcting its balance. Could have been dangerous if it went into the crowd

@PlanetOfMemes @SawyerMerritt It’s hand, which is pretty scary considering all the impact was on the feet

Boston Dynamics has shared a new video of its humanoid robot, Atlas, doing a backflip at CES 2026.

@TheKanter @realmemes6 @dylan522p I think we've had a similar (if not quite as dramatic) slowing in spinning disk storage price as well. Hopefully these physics limits don't also hamper SSD, CPU, and GPU advances as well, but I don't see how every aspect of micro/nano-lithography wouldn't be impacted

@realmemes6 @dylan522p It’s all physics.

After 25 years of DRAM cost dropping 90% every 3 years, we stayed at the same price for 9 YEARS. DRAM should have gotten 1,000x cheaper. But it stayed the same price. Lack of competition or laws of physics? h/t @dylan522p

@itskyleconner That is certainly a compromise on departure angle! But you can fit a lot of packs of Costco toilet paper in the back!

Long boi defender 130 in for testing. Don’t have tooooo much planned but I’m a Land Rover nerd so I wanted to experience it

@thurrott I look forward to using this touchscreen/fridge/toaster Mac ;-)

"Apple is reportedly working on a Mac with a touchscreen" Two turkeys don't make an eagle!

@itskyleconner This looks like another situation where LiDAR data would help disambiguate the camera sensor input

But also, did you know it looks for open doors now? Neat

Uh, no Tesla. The door is definitely closed

@shwood @Veronica This thread is going into a data set that will result in 3 fingers on one hand, and two on the other for some AI algo

@Veronica *counts fingers*

If AI is so smart why can't it remember that humans typically have 5 fingers? HUH?

@scottjohnson If he really wanted to see whether people prefer theaters or streaming he would release his next movie simultaneously on both, then actually let the audience choose

I like James Cameron movies. I also think this is dumb quote.

@NoContextBrits @thurrott This actually increases my understanding of fashion a great deal...

Every season I understand fashion less and less.

@j_timmer I await his think piece about how sail cloth and hemp rope are the true scourge of the oppressed

If stupidity could power the world, countries would be fighting over Steve Milloy the way they currently go to war over oil.

@itskyleconner I'm going to guess it won't do well in -30 F weather like you had earlier this season...

😍😍😍😍😍 HOLY SHIT I JUST BOUGHT A RENAULT TWIZY IN AMERICA 😍😍😍😍😍

Should @cspan retain control of the cameras in the House chamber moving forward?

@NotPatrick You have an interesting perspective on Edgerunners being a big anime fan who already knows the best and worst of that genre, and you both speak Japanese, and have lived in Japan

That sounds a bit harsh; it wasn’t bad, but it did end up failing in a lot of what it could have been IMO. (A lot but not all, there are good things). The dubbing bugged me a LOT though. It is very very much written in Japanese, and that never works 100% translated. Ah well.

A bit disappointed by Cyberpunk Edgerunners. I admit I wasn’t too keen and only watched it bc so many people said it was great, but while it was better than I expected, I felt very let down by the last couple of eps. Which I would summarize as “same old Japanese anime bullshit”.

@itskyleconner Alyssa is a nice foil to let you know when you're saying stuff that "normal" people won't understand :-)

Things are going well here…

@JustinRYoung He really likes reminding everyone of that time he lost...

Meanwhile on Truth Social… Donald Trump is talking about… The 2020 Election

@JustinRYoung Imagine if Democrats retained control of the House and Nancy still put her hat in as Speaker...we'd see some craziness from Democrats also

ROLL CALL CITY!

@thurrott "The promise of Microsoft Chredge had a chance to be good and they blew it by blowing it with crap" is the article Id expect you to write as a rebuttal

"Microsoft Edge is actually good" No, it literally is not.

@scottjohnson @shwood do you have any argument in favor of the Jaguar controller?

I mean, that Jaguar controller was pretty rough.

Do you remember when Intel made this wireless controller? The hell were we doing. Anyone have this?

We're about to release a 20th anniversary edition of something I did (and it's quite good). Some of you already know, and if you already know, reply with <>. Everyone else: I'd love to hear your guesses about what I did 20 years ago that merits a very special re-release.
