We're both wrong. Both the swastika and the symbol for Buddhism can be tilted or straight...

Just check Google Image Search.

the swastika sure was/is a sysmbol for/of facism. the orginal swastika is the other way round. the nazis just turned t around and used it as "anti-jewish" symbol. the orgina lswastika is a symbol for "protection". now no more swastikas please.

You guys are blowing this so out of proportion it's not even funny. Did anyone care to think that I really didn't wanna be assed to take and upload another screenshot? Jesus christ...it's not like I'm on here screaming "Heil Hitler!". It's a swastika, on an image that ISN'T EVEN TAKEN BY ME. Everyone needs to just shut the hell up about this.

Its not a Buddist sign flipped around and turned, its a Jewish sign. :)

If you're too lazy to even take a screenshot of your own desktop, why bother even posting? Should we all start grabbing other people's screenshots and posting them up on Neowin? You knew that swastika would offend people, yet you posted it anyway. I don't understand your logic behind your excuses.

Lets be evenhanded here, you may comment on the swastica symbol as it indeed represents inhuman suffering and gross injustices.

But what about the many desktops I see here with Sovjet symbols? I just started reading Anne Appelbaum's new book Gulag.

Communism in the 20th century killed more them 60 million innocent people. As a history teacher I of course I already knew this. Still I am shocked at what I am reading. Since this however took took place in Eastern Europe and Asia it is viewed as more benign that the Nazi crimes.

So, *if* you want to ban Nazi images then be consistent and ban any Soviet images also! :angry:

    • For me, the fundamental problems with these "smartglasses" is that they really don't work well for people with significant prescriptions and massively up the price if you use attached lenses if they have displays, and if they don't, then they're not actually "smart" anything, rather just connecting to your phone and relaying voice to an AI. In a few cases like this, they throw in small cameras to feed video to the AI. All around, these feel like both a solution looking for a problem, and the problems it tries to solve seem more easily solved by different approaches and designs. Oddly, if the rumours are true, Apple may actually have invented something for once and it kind of does this right: put cameras in ear buds and manage the interface to AI exactly as most of us do: tapping on an ear bud and saying "Hey Google" or "Hey Siri." That makes them compatible with almost everyone, can double up as a hearing assist device, an impaired vision assist device, a "smart" device... and answer your phone and play music. That just seems like a better solution all around.
    • Usually the bigger ones with many fixes/changes take a few, theyre an exception to the rule most likely
    • If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia
    • I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.
