Are there any comparisons between this and other style guides from the likes of IBM, DEC, Sun, Apple (Early MacOS), Microsoft, etc?

All of these had in-house printshops, so would have had some style guides even if just to provide consistency for internal use.

Using a Class N rocket motor, the High Steaks rocket reached about 8500m, earlier this year. I think Joe abandoned the thrust vector control for control surfaces within the fins to stabilise rotation.

is that also the album/live shows that had the audience dancing to the beats 1,2,3,4 which they thought was 4/4 but in such a way that the underlying time-signature was different?

> The Unreal Engine 5 demo, "The Matrix Awakens", is a download of more than a terabyte. That's before decompression.

The PS5 and Xbox Series S/X both had disks that were incapable of holding a terabyte at the launch of The Matrix Awakens. Not sure where you are getting that info from, but both the X S/X and PS5 were about 30GB in size on disk, and the later packaged PC release is less than 20GB.

The full PC development system might total a TB with all Unreal Engine, Metahumans, City Sample packs, Matrix Awakens code and assets (audio, mocap, etc) but even then the consumer download will be around the 20-30GB size as noted above.

The current favourite frustration of reddit seems to be that in the past you could cancel requests, by saying "Never mind".

Apparently now saying "Never mind" gets you an in-depth speech about Nirvana's album, or it playing.

I've often wondered if there is a problem with 'handedness', or more specifically 'footedness' whereby my brain is expecting the motion to start off with my right foot moving forwards first, but the game model goes left foot first. Mixed with head bobbing as well this throws off the brain's balancing model, as everything is "opposite". Certain games I have immense problems within 15 minutes playing, such that I feel drenched in cold sweat and nauseous, others I can play for hours or more without a problem, even if they are the same type of games. For instance Quake nope, Unreal tournament fine. Rainbow Six Siege fine, CoD not a chance, though Battlefield is fine. Maybe there needs to be something in games like the goofy test that snowboarders use to decide which foot forward for orientation, but more developed for motion sickness?

This site[1] details setting up an LTE network, including programming a blank SIM.[2]

Much comedy was born of the "bathe wearing your jeans" and lying on the bed trying to get tight jeans over the thighs, especially during the late 80s. Then came leggings and lycra woven into jeans that now allow slipping tight jeans on without too much fuss.

Microsoft Research had papers on speaker arrays that allowed speaker focus and noise cancelling a couple of decades ago. I think the technology eventually ended up in the Kinect.

I think Cisco had something similar in their large screen meeting room video conferencing systems that could do positional audio tracking of multiple people. Could be wrong, but I think that was at least 10 years or so ago, if not more.

The mice were the mechanism by which the hyper-intelligent, pan-dimensional beings observed their experiment. The experiment being "what is the Ultimate Question?" by running a 10 million year simulation.

The "Spaceman" track was used in a Levi's ad[1] which used the intro. Then everyone went out and bought the single, and rocketed it up the charts in a lot of countries. At the time there was much disappointment that the rest of the song was not like that intro.

Hugh Jeffrey's video[1] on this block demonstrates the phones might be blocked, though it seems to vary depending on phone, and which telco's SIM. Often it can block one SIM from working, whilst a similar SIM will work in slot 2. or vice versa. Or they are both blocked after rebooting. Or maybe not.

at the time of writing the above video is listed in the OP article near the beginning. I believe Hugh references James' work in this and other videos covering the topic.

The company doesn't exist as it was dissolved last year. [1]

What is interesting is that at the bottom of that page is the following

[NAME AVAILABLE ON REQUEST FROM COMPANIES HOUSE] 16 Oct 2020 - 27 Oct 2020

where usually it would state the prior company name instead of the [name ... ]

Reboot has been posted to youtube[1] and twitch according to the notes on that YT page.

In a reddit post on the above[2], I came across information that there is an 8-part documentary[3] on Reboot coming out from September 24th, along with a remaster of the series soon.[4]

The Matrix Awakens demo had some of the assets released to the Unreal Engine marketplace as separate packs, [1]the map, [2]buildings, crowds, and vehicles.

The matrixcity map is different, but is somewhat similar to that of the map in Matrix Awakens. You can see from the design breakdown on [3] this page by a technical lead on the Matrix Awakens project.

edit. If you look further into the [4]github codebase, under the MatrixPlugin section it explicitly states that they used the city-sample project.

Strangely, Digital Foundry don't [yet] have a video out with the max settings that a PC can provide.

They have a PS5 review[1], and a 'this is how best to get console quality settings on a PC' comparison with a PS5 on performance settings.[2]

> Their streaming service is still limited to Game Pass games only.

Earlier this year Microsoft announced[1] that they are going to be allowing cloud enabled games that you own to be played without them needing to be Gamepass games.
