For me personally, VR is the last thing holding me back. Hopefully that changes soon though. My laptop has already been Windows-free for a while.

That depends on what drugs he’s on

Agreed. Single player games have to be exceptionally good for me to want to play them. Besides that, it’s coop only for me.

If all you want is HA, green is the right answer.

I got a mini PC the beginning of this year and I have a bunch of stuff running on it now, in Proxmox. It’s been a lot of complicated learning, but I’ve had fun.

Being purely optimistic, I’d say that it’s great that kids are taking interest in politics.

However, like you said, the money making focus could take priority over true opinions. And on top of everything, this is taking place on a platform where the platform is in full control of who sees what.

Far from the ideal of soapboxes in the town square, but I guess that’s just today’s world.

But they’ll implement a one time fee to change your dpi, and then a few years after that it’ll be subscription.

Everyone’s reading from the same playbook

-LAUGHS

I can appreciate that.

But does that mean if you phone it off, the physical switch is unable to do anything? Or does the switch just get inverted?

If it gained sentience and took over the world, at least it would probably build itself some nice nuclear power plants.

Default state is a hard left, flooring it is a hard right, precisely 50% is straight.

Can confirm. I love both.

That’s their kink.

And the nature of computers is that they are magnitudes better than humans at brute forcing. Machine learning can brute force (depending on the technique, it can be smarter than brute forcing, being more efficient) test many many many more designs and techniques than we could manually do. Sure it’ll fail many times, but it’s just a numbers game, and it can pump those numbers. It’ll try a lot of weird and unique stuff we wouldn’t even think to try, with varying degrees of success.

Yeah, it makes me think back to the CD days. I think just having a Windows install CD already premade for you made the process at least semi approachable.

Last month when I was installing an OS (it was proxmox, not exactly beginner friendly, I know) the first boot disk creator I used “worked” but ended up failing in the install. The second one worked though.

All in all, creating your own install disk is nice and flexible, but it really is a barrier for the average user.

I’ve never seen x-files, but it does get brought up a lot in conversation about Fringe (one of my favorites). Fringe starts off as {insert scifi thing} of the week, and then the plot starts to develop later. I recommend giving it a shot.

I stumbled upon this regex crossword puzzle a while back. I was never good enough to get it, but it seems like it could be fun.

You know, it kinda makes me wonder if we should have listened a little more to the people who were paranoid of being tracked and went to live off the grid.

The McDonald’s ice cream machines have a similar vibe, but that doesn’t seem to be as smartly/evilly executed as these trains. Remote kill switches are insane.

Kiss about to become Vtubers.
