Some, yeah - mostly for laptop chargers on the longer routes. A lot just have usb though.

Don't forget 4 as well. The music in these games brings back some great memories, and I still catch myself listening to them every now and again.

I dunno. 60km/h is pretty much 40mph, which seems acceptable for what looks like a low density country road. On those sorts of roads the center line is sort of implied, and cars move to each side when approaching each other. I'd personally say the US plays it safe on low density road speeds. For example, there are a ton of roads like this that are a similar width to the above (despite not looking it) but have a 60mph (~100km/h) limit.

There are many ways of doing this. I know the source engine uses visboxes, which are calculated once at map compile time. It takes a while to compile, but it means that clients can use the pre-compiled data to calculate parts of the map that are visible and the server can use them to determine what the player can see at a given time. I'm not sure whether it does that or not, but it would make sense to use that data.

They did. Cheap and reliable

How do you prepare for an update when Bethesda don't tell you what is changing? It says in the article they had literally no correspondence from Bethesda until the update dropped, so the only thing they could do was keep developing and hope not too much broke in the process.

That being said, from what I understand is that the script extender broke, so they're just waiting for an undefined time until that gets fixed for the latest update.

The index is better overall and I love mine, but I can't help but feel jealous that someone can just grab their quest, put it on and get into VR immediately. I have to cart my PC downstairs, turn the base stations on, find the index and wire it all up, troubleshoot why Windows has decided to mess up the drivers and now nothing works, and maybe half an hour later finally get into a game or completely give up and try again another time.

The quest gains a lot in portability and ease of setup, and that does result in a lot of other features being sacrificed but to most people the downsides don't matter as much.

You can, but MS disables automatic updates without telling you. I have TPM but my CPU is one generation too old apparently, so they silently disabled updates on my machine and I didn't realise I was still on 21H2 until a couple of weeks ago and had to manually update it.

The manual update worked and it didn't warn me about anything or encounter any issues, but that was a massive pain.

Is that Jon from Auto Shenanigans?

I'm not entirely sure how cheques work being that I've not used one in about 15 years, but I'd imagine they give a cheque from an account with no money. Because cheques are awful the money will appear in your account for a time period by which you are given the illusion of getting legit money. They ask you to buy something like jewellery or gift cards and ask for it back at the end, maybe letting you keep a bit of it for yourself. A while goes by and the cheque bounces, which means you're then on the hook for the cost of everything you purchased and the scammer gets a ton of free items that they can then sell on.

Nor-fuck in the UK, so sort of close I guess.

Line must go up
