I don't think you need to worry as much once you have the media. It's the act of downloading and sharing where people get caught.

What do you mean, they have lots of good shows that get cancelled after one season with the story on a cliff hanger

These media can be found, yarrrr

"Hey Bing AI can I get a recipe that includes cinnamon"

"Sure! Before we begin did you hear about the great Black Friday deals at Sephora"

"Not interested"

"No problem. You're using query 9 of 20 this month. Do you want to proceed?"

"Yes"

"Before we begin, Bing Max+ has a one month trial starting at just $1 for your first month*. Want to give that a try?"

"Not now"

"No problem. With cinnamon you can make Cinnamon Rolls"

"What else?"

"Sure! You are using query 10 of 20 this month. Before I continue did you hear the McRib is back for a limited time at McDonald's. (ba, da, ba, ba, ba) I'm lovin' it."

These quotes are from a time when games were stamped into hard plastic and circuitry. No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk are two examples of games with rocky launches that are both amazing now. Saying a game is forever bad simply isn't true anymore provided the makers stand behind the product.

Hah fun

Yea I've been wanting this remake for a while and by all accounts it sounds like they did a really good job. I'll be playing this tomorrow for sure. Hopefully someday we'll get a proper sequel but at least for now we have this

Yea I never understood the appeal. You can get a steam deck with retroarch for just a little bit more. Like how many OG gameboy games are people still playing.

Because their real purpose is to train the bots. The captcha features are just there to get us to use it.

"choose the roads that fill you with ennui moreso than the avenues that give you a sense of listless"

I mean yea, they started development on GTAV 15 years ago. Any company is going to go through big changes, especially a tech one.

One suggestion I might make is Prowlarr instead of Jackett. I found it to be a lot easier to work with but YMMV.

Also I usually suggest adding Overseerr to the stack. It hides everything away behind a super easy to use app.

I had Atari 2600 Action Pack 2 for Windows 95, which I didn't realize at the time was one of the earliest console emulators (though you could only play the games included in the pack).

Then 97-99 had this explosion of console and handheld emulation. Nesticle, SNES9X, No$GB. Remember No$ was a big deal because it could emulate the link cable between two instances for getting all the Pokemon across red and blue.

I'd argue emulating games is more important to the preserve effort. Unless you have some extremely rare one of a kind prototype game (chances are you don't) most games have already been dumped at the point. What's important is these dumps continue to get shared. Emulation drives people to find these games and adds one more seeder to the community meaning the more obscure stuff won't just be dependent on one person keeping the file alive.

I mean, Apple movies, Steam and Spotify or whatever your storefront of choice is will 95% of the time have what you're looking for. The only tricky medium to find stuff is TV.

Well, share with the class

Yea I'm glad the documentary uncovered that. It really shows why someone would get into this despite it being pretty easy to prove otherwise (even inadvertently proving themselves wrong) they have this little community of friends.

Morning Show too. When we're looking for a new thing to watch we always check Apple first to see if there's anything new. Netflix drops heaps of garbage on their service then cancels the good stuff. Prime has a lot of really expensive but hollow productions. Zaslav is stripping HBO for parts. Apple doesn't put out a lot but I can usually trust the stuff they put on there.

Ever heard the saying ignorance is bliss? Being just smarter without an outlet means you're just going to be focused on.... well nothing which is also debilitating. Most people we see as smart are just focused on a specific skillset or aptitude and have spent a lot of their own time honing that. For some people that focus comes easier.

Slamming a button that makes you smarter just means you might be more aware of what you don't know and how you handle that could be more of a curse than a blessing.

My phone (pixel 6 pro) has 12gb and it's a 2021 model. It's outrageous a pro laptop only has 8.
