Do they have licenses for any of this stuff? I mean, Id/Bethesda still sells Doom 1, you can't really call these "abandonware" by the normal definition. They're just "really old".
If they don't want to offer checked bags for free they should at least offer some kind of group deal for checking bags. Like each traveller gets a coupon for 33% off on a checked bag on the same flight, and those stack so any group of 3 or more is checking a single suitcase for free. When flying with family it often makes sense for us to just use knapsacks and one big suitcase.
That's cool and all but they could've just made sure the regular-ass search indexer was consistently aware of the video transcripts.
Many times I've searched for a video I'd seen using a specific quote I remembered from the vid... And got nothing, and had to painstakingly find the video manually.
Huh, that's disappointing. It's funny how everybody keeps experimenting but nobody seems to have topped the Pebble for watch form-factor: low-power gameboy-ish LED screen and more of an old-school micro-controller chip instead of a phone-like chip and just use the "shake to wake" functionality to brighten the backlight.
Pebble might not have been the smartest smartwatch, but it was definitely the watchyest smartwatch. Always-on screen and week-long battery.
Fair point. Will correct my above post. But either way: unless you find screens particularly eye-straining or have extreme battery-life desires, I don't really see e-ink tech as worth the downsides at this point, at least for non-text content. For a watch where I want an always-on screen and endless battery and I'll never watch video on it? Yes, I want more e-ink and low-power LED tech and the like. But for tablets? I'm good with the vibrant colors of a glowing LED screen.
Ahh, yes, well I suppose if you're mostly reading comics that were made in the '70s and you really want to capture that faded 32-colors-Ben-Day-dot-printed-on-newsprint feel, that'll be just perfect.
Tablets are the ideal form factor for things that would traditionally require a large, full-color book. That is: passing around a photo album, reading magazines, textbooks, comics, playing turn-based games like board-games and strategy games. If you use a stylus they're excellent for things that require free-form pen-and-paper like math homework and creating art.
Now, when they were a $600 luxury item that didn't really make sense as a product. But now that they're like $150 for a solidly good tablet they're absolutely a worthwhile purchase for those use-cases.
There's a huge discrepency between the scary warnings about Q* calling it the lead-up to artificial superintelligence, and the actual discussion of the capabilities of Q* (it is good-enough at logic to solve some math problems).
My theory: the actual capabilities of Q* are perfectly nice and useful and unfrightening... but somebody pointed out the obvious: Q* can write code.
Either
"Q* is gonna take my job!"
"As we enhance Q*, it's going to get better at writing code... and we'll use Q* to write our AI code. This thing might not be our hypothetical digital God, but it might make it."
AFAIK the law here in Ontario is that pedestrians can cross mid-block on a non-controlled-access-highway (ie a regular road not expressway) as long as any oncoming vehicles have plentiful space to safely come to a complete stop. You only lose the right-of-way as a pedestrian if you're doing something that forces drivers to make emergency manoeuvres.
If you cannot drive safely around pedestrians in normal street clothes, you should not be driving. You are the one bringing a lethal machine into the equation, they're just out living.
I only played it briefly at my nephew's house back in the day but it actually seemed really janky. Was it actually good or was this just "omg GTA but with Simpsons I'm 11 and this is cool!"?

In captivity a gray wolf can reach 70 kg and live to 15 years old.
There is no reason for large domestic dogs to be short lived except the horrible things that inbreeding has done to them.
