This was suggested in another repost of this article. It does really have that vibe, yes. It’s giving off this uncanny valley feeling of journalism. Lots of words, that… kinda say something?, but there’s a lot of like, overlap? I’m having a hard time explaining it.

get distracted and exceed the speed limit by 1-2 km

Your cameras give you a fine if you exceed by even 1 km/h? That’s insane. In my country it’s about 6 km/h or so above the limit where you get a fine. Every car is different so the speedometer might not show the exact speed right on the needle, and they know that speeds can vary slightly. You could also be right in the middle of slowing down, which won’t be noticeable in the instant of the measurement, so they add this margin of error of about 6 km/h.

I guess it’s harder too if you don’t have automatic speed control on the car. 🤷‍♂️ If the cameras and fines are this sensitive and you only have manual speed control (gas and break), and new cameras keep popping up all the time, I can definitely understand that you would want alerts of when there are speed cameras.

My car alerts me automatically so that’s also am advantage I guess.

Dose nutz

I think either would suit you. Keep or don’t, do what feels best for you. 🙂

Now that’s what’s up. Was thinking the exact same thing. Non-issue.

Dude I just watched the horror movie Smile the other day. This smile has the same vibe.

In a way, definitely. But it also makes you really appreciate the warmer seasons when they do come back around.

It’s fun for a few days. But if you live above or near the Arctic circle you get pretty tired of the long dark of the winter. And summers are shooort. 😐

Put it on your CV, worth a shot.

Fair point, I suppose. Though the original commenter said that “apps” [in general] are unnecessary. That’s how I interpreted it. And that they are so due to the grid system where they live. I call BS. I bet it helps, but not for someone who isn’t used to it either. It wouldn’t help me, as a European, because I have no experience with it.

You probably live in a deep village

A “deep” village? What does that mean?

There are over 130,000 people in my city, growing by about 1,000 every year. So not a huge city but not a village. 😄 Takes probably 30 minutes to drive across town with negligible traffic? Anyway…

maps show where the speed limit cameras are, where the police are now

cameras (their number grows like mushrooms after rain)Now you can’t go anywhere without navigation.

Why do you need to know where speed limit cameras and police are at all times? Sounds to me like you prrrooobably shouldn’t have a driver’s license to begin with? Or you live in a place where police are a danger to society rather than protection. I’m willing to guess which side of the Atlantic but I’ll refrain.

I can definitely travel without navigation lol. Even when visiting a bigger city with maybe half a million people. As long as I know where I’m going, it’s fine. 👍

I live in a city that resembles nothing like a grid, but I still don’t need navigation because it’s my home town. Of course you don’t need navigation if you know the way to where you’re going.

Having a grid system makes no difference anyway if you don’t know the address. “Let’s meet up at Starbucks!” “Oh… kay. Where’s that?”

Ah, okay. Thank you for the link!

It’s not that close. You were right about one thing, the front end of my couch is probably 5–6 ft away from the TV. But I crouched down at exactly 5 ft and the TV still has a smaller apparent size than my 27" LG OLED PC monitor when I sit by the computer for gaming. I would turn down the FOV if I were you, to match the expected projection, but that’s just me. You can of course do what you feel is comfortable. But the distance argument doesn’t hold up is all I’m saying. 😁👍

Is this unusual? Games normally have different experiences besides spoken language?

360°C monitor setup

Better wear some oven mitts. 🔥

I love the idea of having a 360° monitor and rear view mirrors instead of just smaller rear view screens, or even digital on-screen rear view mirrors. 😄

You’d think it would be the opposite? High FOV when you are far away doesn’t match the expected projection of the things you see on screen. 5 ft is pretty normal I would say, I sit that far from my LG 65" OLED, too. I turn down my FOV in Rocket League so it doesn’t mess with my perception, even though you’d think a high FOV in that game would benefit you as you can avoid demolitions easier. (I do keep the FOV at max in Rocket League when in front of my PC though, because I’m so close to my monitor, probably 2 ft or so.)

😁 I haven’t been interested in Mario Kart since around Mario Kart Wii (when I lost interest; MK64 forever! ❤️)

But I have to say, World looks super clean. Very slick animations and great music. That said, I don’t think I would get it for myself though. Possibly if my kids want it.
