This thread was titled, "THING YOU MOST LIKE ABOUT & MOST HATE ABOUT ARUNFORCE" and accumulated about 57 replies in under 48 hours until @arunforce closed it.

Valve wants gamers to improve the Steam Controller design

Valve has been horsing around with the Steam controller for a couple of years, and to be sure, it's come a long way since it was first revealed to the world. But even though it's now ready for release, it's not really 'finished' in the strictest sense of the word. As Valve's Robin Walker told PC World, he expects that once the public gets hold of it, they'll improve the design even further.
"I don’t think this will be the last Steam Controller design ever. We’re just about to hit the point where customers get their hands on it which, to us in the software world, that’s where stuff starts to get really interesting," Walker said. He didn't predict what might be done with, but said he expects "it'll be awesome."

My Take: I think it is a great idea to have their company use the consumers as sort of beta testers without us knowing. I also appreciate that they allow the consumers to help in the design process which is more than Xbox or PS have done.

Tesla Equips Its Autonomous Vehicles With A New Feature: Autopilot

With the thought of completely "driverless" cars barely to be a reality just a few years ago, Tesla's two driverless models, Model S and Model X were recently patched with a new version, "Version 7.0" that came with a few new features, the main one being "Autosteer" that allows the car to switch lanes per the driver's signal, "automatically stay in a lane, slowing down if necessary to avoid traffic and steering around curves". If that's not enough, according to Tim Stevens of CNET, "Updated Model S and X vehicles will also be able to slot themselves into parallel parking spots."

Migrant crisis: Slovenia sets limit of 2,500 people a day
The Interior Ministry Secretary of State Bostjan Sefic said Slovenia could not accept Croatia's request to take 5,000, because Austria's daily limit is 1,500. Most of the migrants, many from Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq are crossing Croatia and Slovenia to reach Western Europe. The limitation on the numbers has led to a build-up of migrants and refugees on Croatia's border with Serbia.

Around 40 buses of people were backed up in Serbia on Sunday, and tempers flared between frustrated migrants and overstretched police officers. "We are waiting here four hours on the bus," Muhammad Samin from Afghanistan told the Associated Press. "The weather is too cold. We wear lots of shirts. The children are also in the cold. No food.", the migrants said. There are also reported to be 4,000 migrants waiting at a reception centre in the east Croatian town of Opatovac, hoping for an onward journey towards Slovenia. The migrants have already spent weeks walking from Turkey, via Greece, Macedonia and Serbia.

These people wait at a reception centre having crossed into Slovenia from Croatia.

Thousands wait to enter from Serbia to Croatia.

Mr.Sefic told a news conference that Slovenia "cannot accept unlimited numbers of migrants if we know that they cannot continue their journey"; "Croatia asked us to accept 5,000 migrants per day, but Austria told us they can accept at maximum 1,500". He also said that Slovenia had to turn down a request by Croatia on Sunday to send it a second train of migrants.
The UN's refugee agency says about 4,000 migrants crossed into Slovenia on Saturday. By Sunday morning, Austria said it had allowed through around 1,000 people. Slovenia became the main route for migrants after Hungary closed its borders to them on Friday night, citing security concerns.
