I guess that explains the transition to AI coding as well

LOL it’s the first one on the site, too. Thank you for this nostalgia.

Does it have that “game” with the frog in the Blender?

…no one said anything about Nintendo?

There’s never been a time where it’s been so easy to disillusion investors to the extent that you convince them that buying the entire world’s supply of hardware, even when you have nowhere to plug it in, is a great decision.

It may be your last but this is the way it’s been for decades. People keep buying them.

They’re not more expensive when you factor in lower game costs and zero subscriptions.

1. Is it not possible to put it in another room?
2. Those servers are designed to go into a dedicated server room without regard to noise. Could you relocate it to a new enclosure?

Cool, thank you!

When you add a server endpoint in the settings, you’re pointing it at your own existing server (Dawarich, Home Assistant, Traccar or any HTTP endpoint).

Ok please forgive me, I’m unfamiliar with this terminology.

Colota actually has automatic file export (Settings > Export Data > Auto-Export)

Oh, sick, I missed that somehow, thanks.

Sorry for the confusion on my part.

I still don’t see a way to import data? Doesn’t do any good to back it up if I can’t import it back in?

There is no backup server. Users can create and add one if they like.

No I understood the server is self-hosted…?

Colota offers out of the box file export

I see that but this should be an automatic backup process. Plus there’s no way I can see to IMPORT that data somewhere else.

When I use an app like Fitotrack, it automatically makes a backup file periodically and then is automatically backed up to my server with Nextcloud or Syncthing. I don’t need a dedicated server for it.

Colota already uses WiFi for home detection (WiFi pause in geofence zones)

How can it do that when it didn’t ask me for an SSID? And what’s the point of the geofence if it doesn’t even use it anyway? I am cornfuse.

When wifi disconnects or/and motion is recognized the GPS starts again.

How is motion recognized without GPS?

Why a dedicated backup server instead of just backing up to a local file that can then be backed up to a service of choice?

Also for profiles, it would make more sense to use Bluetooth to detect a vehicle or WiFi to detect when you’re home vs. Geofencing or Android Auto or speed. How can it tell when you leave the geofence if the GPS is off?

It’s kind of a shitty thing about modern gaming, is that the game revolves around the community, and if you’re not part of the community, you don’t know WTF is going on, because they never explain anything in the game.

I got pretty sucked into it playing Destiny 1 like 10 years ago but eventually it was too much fucking work and not enough fun.

I hope to never ever see this kind of behavior happen within the Fediverse, because we are supposed to be better than this.

That’s pretty naive, honestly.

That would feel even sweeter if they were losing money on every Helix sold.

They wouldn’t lose money for the same reason Steam doesn’t lose money; they sell them at market value. That’s (part of) why they’re so expensive.

They’re going to do what Steam is doing and just open up Xbox branding for licensing on PC hardware, much like they did with XBOX Ally. So there will be something for everyone.

Except people who hate Microsoft, but they were never going to buy it anyway.

In what way?

Yes she does LOL

You said they don’t need to be a gamer. How can someone not be a gamer and know absolutely anything about XBOX? That seems like a bare minimum?

I’m honestly completely blown away at the number of people who think a CEO does not need to know absolutely anything about the product they’re supposed to be selling…
