I drove my steam controller to work today.
Using a webcam, the Steam Controller can now seek out it's charger by vibrating across the desk

This reminds me of the guy on sharktank that had an app for iPhone to take panoramic pictures on its own by standing up the phone on its edge and it used the vibrating frequency to move.
The app was nothing big or special and no one wanted. The programming on how they achieved it was all anyone wanted and they made a shit load of money selling it.

And no-one actually uses it. Well done them, rich without consequences, living the dream.

I’m a native English speaker, and still every time I write something I read it back and expand every “it’s” into “it is” or “it has” in my head, just to make sure. And replace every “its” with “his” or “hers”.
It’s even worse with on screen keyboards, because sometimes even if I typed it right, the autocorrect will “fix it”, so I have to reread.

But why? You can just… put it on the charger.

Why would anyone buy a Roomba when they can just vacuum the floor themselves?
Yttra@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
I’ve never been sold on the roomba idea, but vacuuming can take some time and physical effort depending on the size of the living/working space.
Putting a controller on a charging puck should take all of five seconds, to be generous. It even has magnets!
I feel like the real answer here with the controller is “because we can/because it’s cool”

I know you think you are making a point but you aren’t roombas do a shit job and you have to vacuum anyway.

Science isn’t about “why?” it’s about “why not?”
the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
Why not? because if fucking stupid. It would take you longer to set this bullshit up than it would to just set it on the puck.

yyprum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 hours ago
