I actually didn't get that sense this time. Certainly the trailer left a lot to the imagination, and that's letting me imagine impossible features that weren't shown. But I thought Murray was very tame in his explanation. He didn't really promise anything beyond a giant procedural world with multiplayer, and we know they can deliver on that. Everything else might suck. I get why people are skeptical about this, but I'm feeling confident that the final product will match what was shown here.

Oh my goodness Light No Fire looks so good. I really hope they've learned the right lessons from No Man's Sky, because that trailer looked like everything I want from a game.

Okay, that's a fair point. They left too many blanks for the reader to fill in, and some will assume the problem is more widespread than it is.

When I put my Social Scientist hat on, I don't think the methodology was totally unreasonable or obviously malicious, so X would have to strengthen their claims to convince me to wait for court. But you're right, MM should have done better.

I agree with your point in general, but I have a hard time applying it here. Unless the lawsuit alleges that MM hacked into Twitter or doctored the screenshots, then the core claim of the MM report "Twitter served ad Y next to post Z" is not under dispute. If the claim is that refreshing a page is malicious, then I don't think we need to wait to call the lawsuit malicious.

This is a beautiful blog post and I recommend reading it. I never used Omegle, but I now understand what we've lost.

Didn't realize this hack was so simple! Somehow I previously got the impression that the hardware mod was complicated.

PineTime checks these boxes for under $30. The caveat being that it's an open source project without fancy features. Also, the heart rate monitor doesn't work well on my skin, but it works for some people.

I love my PineTime, but I stopped using it because I wanted sleep tracking.

The tech that made this possible is really cool. They force DNA through a teeny-tiny hole in a protein, and measure changes in voltage to ID each individual letter.

Totally different from traditional shotgun sequencing!

I'm able to have 8ish exchanges before it asks me to pay. And using private browsing I can return as many times as I like. Though sometimes it wants money right away, so I leave and come back.

Mine wouldn't let me act unreasonably :(

I believe Misskey/Calckey are meant to be exactly this, but I haven't tried them yet.
