My last words before I sign off for the night for US folks:
This is the most vital election in our lifetimes and you must vote like your life depends on it, because there's a good chance this could be the final true election in your lifetime. If you need inspiration, take RBG's legacy and do something to ensure that hers isn't in vain.
The entire republic is at stake.

Expect the 1600 Man to add a third SCOTUS Justice over the coming weeks and any progress that the US has made over the last decade is going to vanish unless Dems take back the Senate and expand the courts.
Next target for the US government: gaming companies who Chinese firms own stakes in [techmeme.com]
Watch this space.
@matigo Likely wait until 14.2 or 14.3 to install it like I always do. Bugs galore expected.
@streakmachine Yeah, I can't think we'll ever see a system like that ever again in our lifetimes.
I really love Metroid Fusion on that, still play it today. What's your fav on the 3DS?

@streakmachine FB forcing Oculus users to have FB accounts is going to hurt them long term and HTC's Vive (the only viable alternative) is a ? on their direction.
So Apple has a golden chance to basically take over both the VR and AR markets via a headset and AR glasses as rumored. I'm interested in HMDs, but it can't be just one company taking over it. That's my fear.
So Apple has the potential to completely monopolize the VR/AR market when (not if) they'll release a product and it's going to be bad news for everyone.
