I plan to do the same. Since all I do on my PC is play Steam games, I was thinking of going to SteamOS. No idea if that’s even a good idea though.

Even if it was a vision system, which I highly doubt it was, there is no way a vision system could mistake anything for anything other than what it was programmed to see. Vision systems are finicky little bitches to setup. Gotta make sure your lighting is consistent and perfect, can’t place the machine near windows or else the sun will fuck up your vision system, etc. The late worker had to have accidentally triggered a box presence sensor while having the robot unsafely bypassed into a not-safe running state.

I once had to male 36 vision programs into one robot. That’s 1 vision program for each I-Beam that came in, in a stack. Couldn’t find the majority straight edges off a layer, no, had to find only one beam at a time. That was a nightmare job. To make it worse, the I-Beams camexin from the outdoors after it could snow. Water reflects light, so we had to make sure all the beams are dried off completely. Lastly, the customer later.decided to clean and update their tin roof with clear plexiglass wavy things. Well, then the vision programs stopped working from sun up to sun down…vision systems are finicky little bitches!

Crazy shit. My boss had to pull someone lifeless out of a horizontal cnc mill. Doing the same procedure they both had done multiple times in the past. Except the guy accidentally triggered a sensor somewhere, which caused the machine to plunge a drill bit into the guy’s head. I am honestly surprised you can continue to work with automated equipment after something like that, it was just the other guy’s turn to do the procedure that day with my boss as assisting (way before he was my boss and we worked at the same company, so years ago). I guess if anything it explains his drive to making sure we are shipping out safe machines.

Robotics technician with 7 years under his belt here: these things only happen due to human error. Either at the integrators level (not the proper risk assessment made or poor programming/design) or by the worker (bypassing safety devices to get the job done). Now since this is South Korea, I don’t think they’d be bad off on providing safe machines in the first place. Since the robot unexpectedly moved, I’d have to guess the fence circuit of the robotic cell was jumped out in some way. Either by a hardwire jumper or taking the safety key off the door and jamming it in the receiving locking module. Normally when a safety circuit is broken (Emergency Stop, Fence/Gate/Light Curtain or Non-Teaching Enable Device) the robot has power to its servo motors disconnected physically.

On the integrators side,.perhaps they didn’t interface a safety gate in with the robot, perhaps they didn’t use dual chain safety (24v line and a 0v line that flip at the same time and if they don’t flip within a certain time of another, safety trips due to the time discrepancy). Doesn’t say what brand of robot was being used, but the 4 types of robots I’ve used (fanuc, abb, motoman and kuka) have had force sensitive feedback to stop the robot in the event of a collision. But that’s a collision, so even a robot at 100% collision detection is going to do some damage before it stops, possibly could kill too if programmed poorly.

There is a lot that can go wrong via human negligence of automated equipment. Having integrators and customers that understand the risks and practice good safety is vital to preventing workplace injuries on automated equipment! I’m proud to say the leading industry turnkey integrator I work for always has safety number one with our machines. Normally I would call BS if someone stated that, but we have almost endless checklists and design reviews geared towards safety. That’s what makes a great integrator standout from the mom and pop shops!

Especially with Microsoft Teams. Teams is such a powerful application for businesses. It’s a pain in the ass to use on my work iPhone. ID love to have MS Phone again. They were well built and I never had any software or battery issues.

I’m jealous. I pay $155/month for two internet services: Old Faithful (10Mb/s DDL, reliable) and New Internet (up to 100Mb/s down (usually only 50Mb/s down due to trees), but flaky thanks to older wireless tech at the tower). I keep the old DSL wh3n the new wireless one flakes out. It’s better in Winter (no leaves). They have a new tower they’ve been building and finishing up for well.after a year now, which supposedly has better tech on it. Just waiting to get swit he’d over to that one…then I belive I’ll be actually getting up to 100Mb/s for $135/mo. I hate internet in America.

Huh, on steam deck huh…well fuck I may buy it again because I don’t see myself plugging in and turning on my Xbox one to enjoy the game again.

I was hoping Cyberpunk 2077 would be an answer closer to Deus Ex than what we got with Deus Ex: Human Revolution. But the skill tree and upgrades weren’t doing it for me. Not to mention the game running like shit and being rushed out the door.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution…Man when I saw that first teaser trailer I had tears in my eyes. Another game in my all time favorite series so many years later? AND it’s a prequel!!!

But I was pretty dissapointed. I felt the game was pretty watered down vs Deus Ex, which was also a complaint about DE2 (apart from the console favoring nature of it). The prequel aspect was also pretty dissapointing. A couple characters in the game, Gunther Hermann and Anna Navarre, were extremely noticeably mechanically augmented individuals who looked more like mechanical abominations than flesh and blood human beings. Yet in Deus Ex: Human Revolutions you did not become more machine looking as you gained augmentations. You have your limbs put in place at the beginning and that’s the change, a very sleek and stylish augment. I expected to see a more grounded take from the high tech in Deus Ex, but instead was met with an entirely different universe like Deus Ex: Human Revolution was the first of its kind. Deus Ex is still and always will be my most favorite game of all time. I really hope something miraculous happens and the original game is done justice, but as long as Square Enix holds the title I highly doubt they will give the universe enough time, care and love that the original got (as a passion project).

Absolutely LOVE it. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched the series and I am currently on another go thru of it. It’s definitely a joke in the beginning and some jokes miss, but I love how they get into some good topics halfway through.

Out of a 3 minute trailer, I saw 15 seconds of gameplay. But let’s be real. This is Bethesda. We know what to expect. Tons of bugs and an already prepared statement to release after people realize their $70-$300 game isn’t released in a playable state. The best thing to do is wait for release. Check out reviews from your favorite source and also User reviews. Then wait a year for the community mod that fixes all the bugs that Bethesda was not able to fix. Then you might as well wait another year for DLC and for Starfield to be on sale.

Anyone of my simulation/management games. Whether it’s running a hospital, creating an auto manufacturing assembly line or helping some brave adventurers find oxygen I’m always more at peace with a single player goal driven experience.
