So, what your saying here is that the A in AI actually stands for artificial, and it's not really intelligent and reasoning.

Huh.

They don't work very well unfortunately. They use a MD5 checksum to verify your game, which in the surface sounds great, until you realize that a lot of the newer setups (EmuDeck) for roms will offer to compress them into .7zip files (and other types) and then suddenly none of the games are recognized as the original MD5 checksum is different. So you cant compress any game, and not sure if they work with .m3u lists and doubt it will because most likely it'll want to .MD5 checksum the .m3u file.

Also, it needs to have an Internet connection the entire time, so this kills more portable device usage unless you are at home/4-5G. They claim it's to prevent people from cheating the achievement, but in the end if just becomes another block in usability.

Yeah, it was a warning against Apple and that was the nod to it.

After Eternal, I’m not interested in this one. 2016 was fantastic, but Eternal felt all over the place. It tried to tell a story but skipped the entire second "book" between the two games, making it feel unfinished trilogy.

Then there’s the difficulty, easy was too easy, and normal was too hard. I shouldn’t have to choose between surviving 10+ hits (easy) or dying in 3-4 (normal). That’s not balance. And I don’t have the time to ‘git gud’ when the difficulty jump is this extreme.

Considering they already had to tweak difficulty in The Dark Ages, it looks like they’re still struggling to get the scaling right

Next you'll tell me that cat's aren't white meat either....

Front Burner just did a podcast about all of this and how is similar with Nazi Germany. Mostly helps that this isn't an American news outlet (it's Canadian, part of CBC) about how they honestly spoke about it (Trump can't threaten to take away their broadcasting license)

Today on the show is historian Timothy Ryback. Timothy is an author and writer with The Atlantic. He’s the director of the Institute for Historical Justice and Reconciliation in The Hague. Last year he published ‘Takeover’ which documents the ways Hitler and his enablers in the German establishment cleared the pathway to Nazism through constitutional means. He’s on the show to discuss - what he refers to as the “disturbing echoes” between Nazi Germany and contemporary America. Particularly between Adolf Hitler and US President Donald Trump.

Just checked and you are right. I'm so used to hearing "Pork, the other white meat" that I mis-understood.

I found wooden kebab skewers were better. Longer and stronger, can be shaved to the best point needed for each task.

You mean Apple's copy of the open source standard Qi charging?

Except that salami is typically made of pork, which isn't a red meat. Most cured meats and sausages are pork based.

Oddly, reminds me of when Apple first pushed/forced HEIC on all of it's users, without letting them know of course. Because of that, it caused thousands of students to fail their AP exams.

Had someone in a restaurant ask the manager if they could turn down the music playing, they were in a business zoom meeting.

The Feeling of Power might be close enough. It's an Isaac Asimov short story from 1958. Basic plot is that people have become so reliant on computers, they can't do basic math or counting. It's about what happens with mental decline with making machines do all the thinking. (There is more, and the link explains the story but I feel that I shouldn't include spoilers, even for a 50+ year old story.

If you want, you can read the scans of the original here.

Also, Dad's Nuke touched on this kind of subject with people having get together and they have to make their own food and come with things like Jalapeno Pie/Cake(?) and other interesting dishes which indicates that people are already losing the ability to do basic cooking.

People still use Google all the time to help them get specific software to work with their device. There are tons of wiki's, forums, reddits, lemmy instances, discords, etc... that are full of people asking for how to get specific software to work on Windows/etc... People still sit and read documentation all the time.

It's like when the Republicans control the white house, congress, and the senate, Democrats can't push any consequences because the republican majority just shoot it down.

Seriously, every attempt to impeach Trump, or block these things from happening just get thrown out because there is enough Republicans to vote against it. The US checks and balances weren't designed to consider this amount of corruption would be voted in. In the end, this is what enough who voted for, wanted.

More than half of PC handhelds sold are Steam Deck.

People aren't flock to Windows alternatives.

Conservatives keep saying they’re for the common people.

They are, they just didn't say ouotloud that are for the common people being jailed/deported.

Rockstar was a PC gaming company before they went into consoles. GTA 1 and 2 were made for PC before being ported to console.

Create your own 2nd/3rd account, and use the same emails but with the + option. https://www.streak.com/post/gmail-plus-addressing-trick (This works with more than just Gmail) So your main account is main@whatever.com, then your second account would be main+1stKid@whatever.com. This way you don't have many different emails to manage, but Steam (last I checked) will see these all as different so everything can be managed by you.

DOGE already defunded that government department.
