I kind of zoned out during the HDR in normal ps4 s debate, is it available for any games yet? Do I need to upgrade my hdmi cable or? Thought it was only possible with 2.0

Nevermind, figured it out.

Man, watching 4k HDR vids on YouTube is really amazing

Yes. It really makes things pop. Tested uncharted 4 too and it seems to affect the sky and lighting the most, makes it look more natural

North Acton stabbing: Young man stabbed to death after brawl outside University of the Arts London student halls | London Evening Standard

This was right across the road from my halls. It happened outside a tesco which I went to at about 6:25 and that article says the police were called just after 6:30. That's quite scary.

the-pi-guy · Dec 01, 2016, 11:46 PM

Scary.

I think it's funny and sad how the media can easily fall for fake stuff. Also, h3h3's Trump impression was pretty good, lol.

The Guardian got massively trolled, recently, too.

Seems like a smart way to decrease shoplifting.

I'm gonna lose my job.

Thanks Amazon Go.

I thought you didn't want that job any more?

This is pretty awesome. Shopping in supermarkets is already pretty fast due to self checkouts but this sounds like a great improvement.

I don't. But until university is done, it helps me drive to university.
Seriously about half the money I make goes to a car so I can drive to university.

Wow that's pretty crazy. I make it in every day by the tube. It costs £83 a month, which is pretty great.
