Emoji passwords made me think of the Lotus Notes password prompt with their little images that changed as I typed (which never really made sense to me).
Yes, I’m old…
Am definitely human.

As a recent divorcee: fuck this hurts.
Michael Crichton’s “Timeline” (1999) says hello.
Keep digging, you’ll find eyeglasses and Jeep tracks, I’m sure.
You seem knowledgeable in this matter, so let me ask you: is this harmful to humans? What is the harm of this watermelon virus?
… Like what is not a very common skill? Touch typing in general? Or doing it under VR specifically?
Asking because I’ve never had the experience: how does one write anything while wearing a VR set? Please don’t tell me it’s one-finger “Fliegender Adler” on a giant floaty image of a keyboard?
This would utterly kill the comfort, convenience, and speed of touch typing, would it not? Ahh, progress… Even in Minority Report they had (friggin’ sweet-looking!) keyboards alongside their fancy futuristic FAUI*.
^((* FAUI - flailing arms UI)^)
New fear worry unlocked…
Seems like this was done by working out passwords based on figuring out where people were looking and gesturing, rather than looking directly at the keyboard.
As a person using an uncommon keyboard layout, I reckon this would make it harder to hack my typing.
IF I could even get such a layout on wherever VR system I would theoretically be using… 😬
You know, if you want to replace Slack, look into Mattermost. It’s foss but otherwise pretty much exactly what Slack does so well.
Sorry about the surprise prussians. I was never any good at typing on glass, I much prefer an actual keyboard.
The way your comment reads, you’ve been using Windows 3.11 these past decades. 😂
Dune II - basically the grandfather of every RTS game out there (and incidentally very, very different from Dune I): opposing forces, resource collection, tech tree, fog of war, et cetera. Or perhaps it was (not World of) Warcraft, it’s been too long and memory gets fuzzy.
Well then it’s good there are so many curves here…?
An actor pulling out of a movie five days before shooting leaves a lot of people on the hook. According to an inside source with knowledge of the film’s finances, multiple stakeholders on the Haynes project — from financiers to crew — still need to be compensated.
Weird (and, from the producer’s side, careless) that lead actors can do this with apparently zero consequences - at least the article is mum on whether Phoenix will be on the hook for any of that bill.
Cars should just come with a big open socket up front, where I can buy (or build) my own infotainment system to install there.
…which is precisely what we used to have, before auto makers decided to insist that they should be enclosed in a swooping dash.
That must be a first. At least, I’ve never before heard of a seal on an airplane…
And here are the forces acting on the ship:
I’m glad you ask about things you don’t know. You’re a smart person.
A dead name is a person’s given name, in the context of a person having transitioned to a different gender and also changing their name to match the gender they identify as. It is bad form to then continue to call them by their birth name.
The article describes this as"prop money", but doesn’t give further details.
If you’re curious, Adam Savage has a number of videos from Hays Press explaining actual prop money.

I went directly from a dot matrix (ImageWriter II ftw!) to a laser. Except for photo prints, I find it immensely practical to be able to print stuff at home.
