    Xander Cousins reacted to Spotty in Can u guys help me with my project 4 the school   
    Self driving cars are already becoming obsolete.

    The Amish are an organisation that have been working on a mode of transport that relies on absolutely no fossil fuels or batteries that require being charged off the grid. It is frankly the most ecologically friendly mode of transportation. The benefit of this new technology is instead of relying on computer processing to drive the vehicle, it uses a sentient being that has reached the level of self awareness. It's been in testing stage for quite a while but progress is coming along well. If you're interested in more information just search "Horse and buggy".

    Nah I Don't hate the series just curious of why he liked it? Because I enjoyed the First arc when they where in Incrad (know I spelt that wrong but what ever) and trying to escape but the Alfhiem online was disturbing to say the least and well Season 2 I only watched due to Sinon.....

    I think this is Apples response to people being annoyed about the IPhone 8 bricking shenanigans. Mothers day coming up and apple just wanted everyone to know what they said when the had to fix the 'problem'  
     
    tbh personal assistants never fail to amaze me.

    Xander Cousins got a reaction from c0mplexx* in How fast does the PS4 Pro white get dirty and is a PS4 Pro worth it?   
    @c0mplexx* The PS4 white will get dirty depending on what your doing around it. if not eating or drinking near it (Over it really) then most you would have to deal with is dust and smudges from touching it every week or 2.
     
    Secondly the PS4 Pro doesn't really change much depending on what screen you play on it being 720p, 1080p or higher. In all honesty go for it if you think it is worth the cost, The Console will run faster than the normal PS4 initially but over time that speed will degrade, 
     
    Coming from someone who has the original Xbox One(Launch version) I know different console but similar in this sense the speed will degrade over time when adding more games to your library and further down the OS updates. Being that I have what I call the classic Xbox one it still works fine on speed. 
     
    In short if you don't care about it slowing down on menu screen and game library shiz then go for it as the gameplay shouldn't get affected

    Xander Cousins reacted to mr moose in Apple fans going into clauses about why Apple doesn't have to fix Linus' Mac Pro   
    I think you might have missed the core problem people have.
     
    1. nearly everyone agrees it is not a legal issue. They understand there is no obligation to repair it.  The issue here is that not being able to repair it constitutes poor after sales service.  None of the computer manufacturers are obligated to carry out repairs that are not warranties, but they do anyway because it's good service.
     
    2. If apple can't fix it due to not having parts then that means they can't repair under warranty either.  Also that is stretching the honesty bar a bit trying to claim they don't have parts/can't repair a product they make. Even Acer can do this and they are at he other end of the PC manufacturer spectrum.
     
    3. Putting conditions in the ToS that excuses yourself from providing after sales service is just premeditated poor after sales service.
     
    When was the last time you went to get something fixed and the bloke said he can't do it because the manufacturer won't organise parts?  Only with apple.

    Xander Cousins reacted to GoodBytes in Windows 10 "Lean" Edition in the works   
    A user by the name of Lucan on Twitter (no info on him), has discovered something pretty interesting on the installation of Windows 10 Redstone 5 (that is the update that is excepted to be release by the end of this year)
     

     
    Windows 10 Lean, or as it is called once you install it: Windows CloudE (I guess they tried to avoid "Windows CE"). Whatever the official name of the OS edition will be (prob engineers picked the name, or having fun), this install of Windows 10 is 2GB less than Windows 10 Pro.
     
    It includes Windows 10 + desktop shell experience, Edge, Store app, File Explorer, and maybe a few other things, but that is it. Not even the registry editor (Regedit.exe) is there, and there is no background (no idea if there is no wallpaper included, or that you cannot set one...), But Lucan says that the OS is NOT locked. He was able to copy regedit.exe from another Windows 10 machine, paste it in this Windows 10 Lean edition, and it runs perfectly fine, like if it was included with the OS.
     
    He did notice that this version of Windows 10 is so lean that it does not include disk drive drivers. So you can't play CD's, or DVD's or Blu-Ray disks. You'll need to install the device drivers like we used to back in the old old old days of Windows and MS-DOS in order to make the drive work.
     

     
     
     
    Tomato Sauce: https://www.onmsft.com/news/microsoft-is-working-on-a-trimmed-down-windows-lean
     
    If I where to guess this could be 2 things:
    Windows 10 Lean, and that is it. No Windows Defender, no nothing, targeted for low powered devices  or try and fit in system with low storage options like 16GB for allowing the OS to be installed on ultra low end system (probably OEMs will put a 1 wallpaper instead of black).
      Windows Polaris project, As we know, Microsoft is hard at works at making Windows 10 into components that OEMs can customize (they can add/remove components), and this is a "in-the works" build getting there, where behind things, they are components, which we can't customize as of yet, and they included Shell32 (as CShell, what it will be replaced with eventually) is not ready yet, just to give something for internal testing.  
     
    So, how Lean are you?

    Xander Cousins got a reaction from 8uhbbhu8 in Overwatch's depth and complexity is underrated   
    As you just mentioned Statistically, meaning only really on paper is that correct. The game has no intention to put bad players into your team or another team as it is basing on your SR of said Season and the stats you get, this being gold medals, W/L ratios, K/D ratios etc on a number of characters. the game throws people together thinking each player will go the desired role it thought they would go to help the team comp. but doesn't work out like that which is where you get trollers, 1-Trick ponies and Throwers that don't care. 
     
    Yes we may not see what goes on for the enemies team and that we cannot see what other teammates are doing. Being someone who plays a tank the biggest downside to me is I NEED to trust my teammates to output the damage that can take down their tank or take some players down. Along with that I cannot see what happens behind me so my defensive judgement is purely down to what's in front of me and what people communicate to me. Finally I ain't a player that jumps to oh my teams trash anytime I lose, I know other players will have their own issues to deal with, which is why I don't complain about healing until absolutely needed (I Need Healing) As I don't know about the other players conditions or the healers current situation being they are being targeted and trying to stay up or what etc. 
     
     
    This response you took in the wrong context, When I mentioned if your team doesn't aid in some form it means overall the WHOLE TEAM not just everyone but you. If I don't cooperate then it doesn't work if other players don't cooperate it won't work. I know people have own issues among the game when in a match like that one genji or pharah or sniper that is targeting them, I know this too well as when you a healer you are targeted a lot if you are the teams Key Damage dealer you are targeted if you are a threat to a counter you are targeted. So I ain't saying 'My team is Sh** loosely' when I do get to a point of frustration where that comes into play it generally is Valid. For example letting go an easy pick, Wasting an ult just to keep yourself alive when it could have been used more strategically, Not remaining behind your shield player while doing damage. All these are valid for said quote as why not use something you have and why not think before you ult. as you mentioned there is more to the game than just what is seen basically and I do know about it. As you have listed these underline skills required prior. 
     
    But then do you lose because of said person flexing or because no one else who does better thought of going tank and having said player take their role if they perform better. Flex players usually are better than 1-trick-ponies as they can play many characters and aren't useless when their counter comes into play as they can change around it if need be. Secondly the player is flexing because this is a higher chance of winning than him going hey I'm gonna play my main fuck being a tank that we really need. 
     
    Yes this is true it is to show your overall view but again, Does a win rate reflect your skill as said role or the skill as working as a team. This comes back to my prior argument that a average team with Great teamwork and coordination will perform better than above average players with not coordination or teamwork. Why? because as mention the game is designed to be a TEAMPLAYER not a lone wolf so going on about hey I have a high W/L rate it comes down to you having actually good team mates that can support your and give advantage to you and your team when need be. If the W/L rate was based on player skill then it wouldn't be the way the game is today as you could have one player pick a character and beat a team which is impossible in this game without aid. 'Genji team wipes' , 'D.Va team wipes' etc isn't solo plays they are setups, Done by combining ults like Grave and Genji or D.Va , or Hammer Down with Genji or D.Va bomb. or other ults that work together Mei's Blizzard or Anna's damage boost on a player, Mercy's healing along with Mcree's Dead eye, Winstons Ape Rampage with D.va bomb or others. Like you can combo a good few of ults to get team wipes or you can just throw all your ults at a team and that usually works. 
     
    In short the game is DESIGNED to be a team player, while your trying to imply it isn't with the stasis that your W/L purely depends on your game play. As you said about the 1/3 of even matches they can go both ways, It being your game play let the team down or vica versa, where a team mate didn't have great luck or didn't perform on par to their usual. Those matches are usually the best because you KNOW all your teammates are working together as hard as they can but just couldn't because of bad luck, mis placement etc. So again in those 1/3 of even matches it still relies on teammates AND yourself to play their A game.

    Xander Cousins got a reaction from mr cheese in Overwatch's depth and complexity is underrated   
    Yeah but As stated overwatch's issue is that it requires you to have a Full competent team to have a chance at winning, like literally if you have one slacker on your team that can affect you winning and losing, people can say that about other games but a lot of other games can still have another player pick up someone else slack or role all together. I have had to on many occasions be a mixed healer dps in overwatch meaning usually it would be Moira or Zen, which sacrifices survivability of the team as now healing would be reduced but then it comes around to the fact that if said person was a heavy dps role it become really hard to keep that.
     
    I have had games being 4 v 5 and we have won due to pure teamwork but was a uphill battle and generally just luck we got stuff, them mis placing ult and wasting them etc.

    you can get TeamSpeak or Discord on you Mobile device..... and still talk via it.
     
    Secondly if your friends think you suck purely on the fact that you don't have many wins that's kinda sad, I have mates that have a good few wins and they still play with me knowing I only have 6 Squad wins (bear in mind I don't play often, PUBG lawd) even on PUBG we wouldn't have many but still play because its a game to have fun in and with people. If they are taking the game that serious I think they need more help than you kid
