There really needs to be more lawsuits for this type of thing. You bought something and they didn’t make it clear that you were renting it. I get the server stuff but you know what? After you are done with the game it’s time to allow the community to host servers or at least remove DRM for offline play.

EVs are a greenwashing scam. Mass transit is the only way that is sustainable for our population.

Edit: I will add mass transit plus better city planning to increase density. Cars in general require so much infrastructure not to mention what we will have to do to get ready for mass EVs.

As a dual booter such a dumb take. Mac and Windows are much easier for the masses. Have to debug stuff with Linux is not something the average wants to do or even can do. Not to mention the biggest problem, software compatibility. Also the last part gave me a chuckle. “Elderly people who are not familiar with advanced technology and prefer clean and simple computer usage.” Are you fucking kidding me? Mac is the way to go for old people IMO.

I have been spending a ton of time with Chat GPT 4 and really losing faith in what it can do reliably. Like I guess it could be fine if it is used like Google Assistant but I wouldn’t trust it about anything important. Been doing math refreshers and the AI just made up a solution that was totally wrong. After I called it out it just added another number randomly into the equation and wouldn’t acknowledged it lol. The point I am making man it is getting rushed into everything when it can’t be relied on.

HisNoodlyServant , 5 months ago to gaming in Valve: Most games made with AI tools are now welcome on Steam

As much as I don’t like it (I think art should be something hand crafted by humans) nothing Valve can do. It would take an insane amount of resources to vet all these AI games coming.

When I used Facebook I wouldn’t of actually minded this if they also added some customization for your feed. However $14 is a big ask. Maybe for ALL their services including the Oculus.

HisNoodlyServant , 8 months ago to technology in So Much for ‘Learn to Code’

There is still going to be a need for programmers and don’t think “AI” is going to be on its own anytime soon. Even using it as an assistant you need to know what you want and have some understanding of the code. Feel like most of what we see of “AI” right now is just propaganda so investors will throw money at them.

Seems to mostly work fine for me. However Google as a company is a fucking mess so doesn’t surprise me people have problems. I have had more problems with my Pixel 7 and Google Maps seems to be getting worse and worse.

Yep he made a video talking about how his employee had some rare reaction to the vaccine and started to spew conspiracy theories and say that they aren’t wrong. Sucks I agree with his right to repair stuff but his channel is a total cesspool of right wing nuts now. Not to mention he moved to Texas and doesn’t seem to have a problem with some of their abortion and authoritarian laws.

HisNoodlyServant , 1 year ago to news in If we all cycled like the Dutch, CO2 emissions would drop by 690 million tonnes

But that would require a small amount of effort. Seriously though I get some cities aren’t bike friendly (they could be though) but worked in a city that was pretty great for bikes. Small/medium sized manufacturing plant with a bunch of rednecks and almost all of them lived within 5 miles. Of course they were crying like hell when gas skyrocketed and other than me there was 2 people that biked. I think the best part is a good chunk drove gigantic trucks.
