I really think Gabe woke up one day and just decided he wanted to own the best of every vehicle.

I'd put good money on him having plans he's working on to some day own the fastest plane in the world.

There's always the main story of Diablo, but for a lot of us, the real game, and the reason we kept coming back was to get those cooler items. It's what turns Diablo from a play once experience to a put 100s of hours into it experience for me, and now it's turned into a pay $30 experience which feels really bad.

For me, I love the franchise and have really fond memories, but this one feels like a free to play game, but then they also want $70 for it. A game with a premium price point can be okay and a game with microtransactions can also be okay, but trying to be both is going to result in those of us who've been around awhile just taking a pass.

Satisfactory doesn't care, but Factorio makes it the point of the game.

Wipe out the native Flora and Fauna and cover the whole world in glorious concrete for a move speed buff.

I can't find a scenario where paint.net doesn't come out on top when compared to the version of paint that ships with Windows and it's free.

The cops were watching Scooby Doo, and were like "Yes, lets go with that".

I asked our Intel guy about it once. After you've dealt with vendors and sales engineers for long enough, you start to learn to detect when they have no clue how one of their offerings work. I'm not sure that I've ever heard so many non-specific comments, meaningless buzzwords, and attempts to redirect the conversation.

I didn't get it even a little bit until I found an open source project based on Intel AMT, and that's apparently just a piece of ME.

This is one of the issues with having TOS characters in this show. I know they kind of have to be, but their story is already established and that seriously limits how they can be used. Unless we were going to have some more time travel or other weirdness repeating itself, the relationship was doomed to failure from the start.

Probably some kind of horrific bomb.

It looks like the big technological leap in relation to 'How can we use superconductors to hurt things' is to use them in making advanced EMP devices. It doesn't seem like anyone has figured out any other obvious use cases for them that massively change or improve upon the other horrific devices that we've already come up with.

In regards to potential for use in war crimes, it could be a lot worse.

Wait, hold the fuck up, do we have the RemindMe bot here now?

I think the fleeting nature is actually kind of what makes it great. Run it once a year for a week. Not sure how you'd accomplish something similar with the fediverse though. Someone would try to run it off-site without the community as a whole getting on board and then you end up with like 8 people participating.

Just an option, there are a lot of places out there that will sell you a 'refurbished' phone with 1-3 year warranty. eBay even has an integrated program for it, I think they call it 'certified refurbished'.

Super useful, it's very similar to how magnet links for torrenting works. I know of a few less popular file sharing services that can act and search for files based on hash alone.

A lot of other areas online make use of hashes as identifiers already too. If you search for a hash of a file you've downloaded, just the hash and nothing else, there's a very good chance you'll get multiple results.

This is kind of problematic... By creating a community driven hashlist that is freely shared, you've also kind of created an index of CSAM content that could easily be extrapolated for people actively looking to find/share that content.

Gentlemen, BEHOLD... Corn.

Kind of bummed that the r/LifeProTips mod team seems to have submitted a real request to take over. Just kind of disappointed in the team over there.

I think you may have responded to the wrong person.

The Lenovo tiny line isn't related to Raspberry Pi/etc and I didn't mention a Raspberry Pi. I have a server running on an M900 tiny with an i7-6700 in it and 32gb of RAM. That is the high spec config from Lenovo, but there are room for upgrades if you were willing to buy parts separately, however the value proposition starts to fall apart rapidly when buying non-standard parts and compatibility is kind of a coin flip. Even the lowest spec ones should almost always outpace a Pi though (usually by a healthy amount) while still being very small compared to a typical computer. Solid chance the tiny will also be cheaper than a Pi. Compared to laptops, they'll usually also easily outpace those too in terms of performance in terms of money spent, but that's obviously a lot more variable.

Man, I thought I was the only one who had this stuck in my head after the last meme.

Very similar, but usually dramatically cheaper... Look into the Lenovo Tiny line of PCs, you can get a used model with a surprising amount of power for a lot less than you'd see in a comparable NUC and in my experience, they're usually hardier machines.

I love projects like this, but I wish we could recapture the limited nature of place along with the sheer amount of engagement. I have no idea how it would work, but I'd love to see large scale limited time events like this take place with instance administrator support and integration into the fediverse somehow.
