Sadly abbr with title doesn't work at all on mobile Chrome [1] or Firefox [2]. Probably not Safari either, since long press on mobile means "select text" so you'd have to do some CSS trickery (and trying to hit a word-sized target with a finger is quite annoying).

If you put a screen 1 inch away from your eye, your eye can't focus on it properly.

To adjust for this, the optics in all VR headsets are set up so that the "focal distance" is around 1-2m.

Articles aren't really addressing this concern because this kind of eye strain has been a "solved problem" in the VR space for a long time, so any tech reviewers wouldn't pay attention to it even if it's a good question.


No, these features have been enabled by default for a decade+ on every platform that isn't desktop Linux, including such modern browsers as IE9


Even for Intel, it's been around since 2016 (Skylake).

But support depends on system/motherboard.


Despite not appearing on the CPU (i7-5557U, Broadwell) datasheet, my NUC5i7RYH supports TPM 2.0 after enabling "Intel Platform Trust Technology" in the BIOS, so at least in some cases, this goes back further than Skylake.


If you actually read the case study, there are 0 mentions of Unity. This PDF is about Multiplay (acquired by Unity in 2017) and the backend; the game is on a highly modified Source engine.


Interesting. Thanks for the heads up!


Worth noting these have been in the wild for years. It's often used to phish for Steam accounts.

BTW, if you're using TOPT 2FA, that typically gets phished too.


Here's a write-up about the subject, as implemented in Riot's Valorant, if you're interested:

Effectively, by agreeing with this idea, you are arguing that a system that favors solely connections and wealth is preferable to a screening process that at least slightly qualitatively evaluates the abilities of a candidate.

At the same time, you expect that this system will provide benefit to the underrepresented from the good hearts of their supposed rich benefactors (ie. you). To me, this comes off similar to expecting developing countries to rise out of poverty through donations from western billionaires. For every underrepresented person you know, there are a thousand others who don't have such a rich benefactor.

>Anyone who claims to definitively know that this idea would have problematic/racist results is kidding themselves.

This system exclusively favors wealthy connections. Which groups are least likely to have wealthy connections?

In my opinion, in your argument, you only consider your personal position and social bubble rather than society at large. It comes off similar to a president advocating for dictatorship to do more good.

I genuinely don't mean this as a personal attack; I just find your position baffling.


Just making sure this isn't a misunderstanding: Roundabout signaling laws and conventions vary between countries, and in some countries you're supposed to signal your intent both entering and exiting the roundabout, while in some you only signal at the exit. I'm not sure about French conventions, but in some European countries (Germany, some Eastern European countries, probably others) indicating before the roundabout is actually illegal.


French conventions are to signal when you're exiting at the next exit.


Somewhat important tangent: the JSON number type is not a double. It's just a number of arbitrary size and precision in integer/decimal/E format that can be parsed as whatever the parser finds fitting.

This distinction is important because you can't serialize infinities or NaN, and there's no guarantee the JSON number can be accurately represented as a double. JS likes to pretend that JSON number is interchangeable with Number and this can result in some fun situations when your Infinity becomes null

I guess the point is that JSON has about as much to do with JS as JavaScript has to do with Java.
