@OtherRetroMatt nice! One thing I’ve never done is to start a hand cranked car. I would love to!

I appreciate all forms of old technology, especially if it's still got a function in the modern world.
Here, for example, is our landline phone from 1953, fully connected and working today.
@robpomeroy @markmason @GossiTheDog gloriously basic and practical. I love it!
@ubuntu I'm dying for the Chaotic Chupacabra release someday. ;)
@elaterite @GossiTheDog the battery is normal sized. The engine is just minuscule. 😄
@markmason @GossiTheDog great minds and all that. Also it is a near miracle I recognised a British engine :) but this is one I know.
My dream controller would have these features:
Gyro: I want to map gyro to stick, mouse, or native game modes depending on what I need. I want it to be flexible.
Advanced audio controls: The Turtle Beach Recon pad has amazing audio processing that is very useful and not a gimmick. It can do things like EQ presets, game & chat volume mix, mic monitoring, and a mode that boosts the sounds of footsteps so you can locate your enemies. This mode is almost like cheating! It works very well.
Keyboard: I usually plug a keyboard and mouse to consoles but if I ever game on the TV away from my desk I also want a keyboard on my controller.
Wired: I don’t care if the controller can work wirelessly too, but I really want a wired option as I prefer to game wired and not worry about batteries at all.
What features would you like on the perfect controller?
@jonnypencils@social.retrodon.net I have a cover too 😄
This is really neat :) The BYD Denza is not only a super luxurious minivan but can also be charged with two chargers at the same time for super fast charging!
@GossiTheDog I'm pretty sure that engine is an Austin A-Series engine, which by some people's definition could be argued to be woke given its low capacity and power output.
I don't want to start a trend of woke and non-woke engines! But I'm just saying if there was such a thing an A-Series would definitely be a woke engine.
And sorry :( but he car nerd in me came out today.
God, I love AI language models! They are slowly becoming my second brain... well, third brain after my mobile phone.
@godpod And that merits an Amen.

If Mastodon is too hard for someone to use, maybe it’s because they’re stupid. Which is a great way to keep out trolls, who are not know for their sparkling intellects.
@hackernews@die-partei.social this is interesting and I don’t know the solution. The AI will have the biases of its training data, the Internet as a whole (excluding both extremes) has to have a bias and that will be evident in the AI that was trained with that data.
