It is impressive, but it does seem like a massive waste of time and really makes you wonder about some people....

You mean like: Watching TV, playing computer games, or going to watch a movie? A whole lot of time of our lives are spent wasting time. Wasting time on stuff we enjoy.

Yes.

Your hobbies are stupid.

Honestly, voting something down just because you wouldn't be willing to put the time and effort into it is stupid.....you should vote based on its content, in this case, a computer built in a sandbox game using basic circuitry, not on whether or not you could accomplish or would be willing to dedicate that amount of time to it.

The fact that you say its impressive counteracts your later statement that its stupid, how many stupid things do you find impressive?

My opinion is that this is stupid and serves no purpose other than epenis. Yours could be different.

Do you feel the same about all games? Minecraft is a game, this redstone computer is a hell of an achievement, saying it is stupid and serves no purpose is basically saying all forms of entertainment are stupid and serve no purpose. Sure YOU might not enjoy it, but it doesn't mean it is stupid and pointless. If ANYONE gets entertainment and value out of something (a game especially) then it has served its purpose.

what the hell is this MineCraft anyway? i'm too lazy to look it up, so someone explain it to me, coz i still think it's somehow related to Minesweeper.

In a way it is related to minesweeper, you only have squares to work with, and you may end up running into a random Creeper that will blow you up (like bombs in minecraft) except you get no hints as to where creepers are. :p

Just do a google search for it and watch a few videos, its an extremely intuitive sandbox game.

ok thanks, i assume you were talking about Minesweeper? i'll make sure to look it up, it seems to be of some significance...

Yeah...fixed.....joking aside its not related to minesweeper in any way, about the closest parallel you could draw is saying you never know whats under or behind that block your about to dig/mine, sort of like how you never know whats behind the first block you click in minesweeper, but other then that its really nothing like minesweeper, it just sort of sounds like it.

If your creative and like building things while having to find all the materials for it first, than MineCraft is for you. You can build virtually any type of structure anywhere in the world, and the world is virtually infinite in size (scaled to the player character size, its 8-9x larger than earth). It is also randomly generated as you move around and explore or create new maps, making the world itself extremely interesting just to explore.

Not as impressive as the 8bit turing complete computer built in Dwarf Fortress.

You can take a look at the map here. http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-8269

Thats what this guy is working on, but 16-bit, theoretically twice as large as that DF one. It will take him awhile, but he plans on finishing it eventually.

      The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account

      "it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account" You already have a Microsoft account if you are using Windows 11, because you can't set it up without one.
