Or I can pay nothing and get a plain video file that I can do anything I want with, and play on any device without needing a player. And as long as I keep that file backed up somewhere, I’ll always have a copy of it.

The TV business is struggling to learn the lesson the music industry learned a long time ago.

Doing a quick skim on my phone, your microphone quality is fine. I would probably lower the game audio in post a bit to make the sound more distinct, but it’s only noticeable when the game does loud stuff.

Really says something that, according to steamcharts numbers, Payday 2 has over 10x the current playercount than Payday 3 right now. Even peak, Payday 3 has 3,475, whereas Payday 2 has 34,680.

And as far as D&D video games go… Baldur’s Gate 3 already mastered that niche. I’ll keep an eye out if it sounds impressive, but I don’t see it living up to the same standard. Even then, going to a game shop and playing with real people around a table can’t be beat, either.

I remember reading about companies developing ML based software that touted some effectiveness at replacing CEOs, though it never seemed to have went anywhere.

I can’t believe a random technical error would design and deploy a Black Friday popup ad right at the time of year where it would be relevant.

The machines are going too far, we need to shut them down.

I am supporting myself fine and I don’t want kids because I’d have to sacrifice the quality of life I’m living now. I couldn’t maintain my current quality of life financially with a kid even if time weren’t an issue.

The last vehicle to move is the one at fault, even if someone else parks right up on them.

My coworkers look at me like I’m a monster for just grabbing a fork and eating the chef boyardee spaghetti and meatballs straight out of the can.

“The Copilot is like the Start button,” Nadella explains. “It becomes the orchestrator of all your app experiences. So for example, I just go there and express my intent and it either navigates me to an application or it brings the application to the Copilot, so it helps me learn, query and create — and completely changes, I think, the user habits.”

I like to put down M$ when I can, but I don’t think replacing the start button is the exact plan here. I think he’s just using it as a comparison.

She would probably be touched if you asked her. I say go for it.

I’ve had a lot of games that I found online, thought they looked fun, then discovered I actually had them in my steam library already and never once touched them.

Driver definitely didn’t look confident in their ability or seem to have any kind of plan.

Political memes are just the non-grandma version of political cartoons.

There are far too many ways for an immortality wish to make your life hell in ways that a money wish uh, wishes it could.

I see it that way. You don’t dive into some strange without protection, don’t let your computer do it with websites.

For as long as people have complained about YouTube ads even before they started the crackdown, I don’t think it’ll matter. Tons of people didn’t block them even before the option went away.

Personally, I bit the bullet and got Premium last year because I didn’t feel like maintaining a DNS solution on my wifi and like using my TV for it. YouTube is basically the main form of “TV” that I watch when I’m in a couch potato mood. Most actual TV shows that come out aren’t interesting to me.

I’m not really advocating everyone just go buy premium. Even in my case I’m not jumping up and down to give Google my money by any means. But for my situation it’s an expense that I justify for myself

I helped someone I know out with a thing on their computer and got blasted by ads because they didn’t use an ad blocker.

Those two minutes on the Internet really had me questioning how anyone manages to use it raw without going insane.

I think they can in their own game forum, but not universally

I host my own searx instance and use that to search, it supports all of DDG’s bangs by default if you begin a query with a double bang !!

The RIAA’s lawyers will be there to take that bird for everything it has.
