At this point it would take this for me to learn javascript.

IMO once you delist a game and shut down servers where people cannot play anymore then it should become open source and not protected IP.

northendtrooper ,

Wait until y’all learn about the birth canal and our skulls that fold.

No vertical Taskbar. -1

Horrible multiple monitor support. -1

AI built in. -1

Ads in the start menu. -1

Until this list starts at zero I’m not even remotely interested.

Connected cars’ illegal data collection and use now on FTC’s “radar” (arstechnica.com)

The Federal Trade Commission’s Office of Technology has issued a warning to automakers that sell connected cars. Companies that offer such products “do not have the free license to monetize people’s information beyond purposes needed to provide their requested product or service,” it wrote in a blog post on Tuesday. Just...

Wonder what the implications are for future ps games on steam.

northendtrooper ,

I’m digging Pluma on my android as a 2ndary to GF.

northendtrooper ,

I’m excited but apprehensive with any new hyped tactical shooter like this will bring the servers to its knees for weeks. Looking at you Helldivers 2.

northendtrooper ,

What OS are you on?

What Browser are you using?

Are you using any ad blockers?

northendtrooper ,

FTC needs to force auto manufacturers to allow the vehicle OWNER to disable data collection at the very least. If it were up to me it would allow owners to disable the sim card and OTA completely. I personally don’t know anyone who uses the in car gps over google/apple maps anyway.

Wonder if this is the consequence of the MSFT buyout or just that they know it would be more in a negative spot light from the recent developments from the studio.

northendtrooper ,

True but they dont have a knee to their neck from share holders to increase profits year over year.

Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone (www.theverge.com)

Microsoft is starting to enable ads inside the Start menu on Windows 11 for all users. After testing these briefly with Windows Insiders earlier this month, Microsoft has started to distribute update KB5036980 to Windows 11 users this week, which includes “recommendations” for apps from the Microsoft Store in the Start menu....

Because of Intel RST? I just had to deal with that but was able to get a dual boot of mint on my acer.

edit For those who come across this who has the same issue as I did. Video: youtu.be/sGJL62ZYRTU?t=77Text: Boot to your BIOS. Get to the MAIN tab and hit CTRL+S to show hidden bios option. Disable Intel RST. Exit and Save. Re attempt to install Mint.

northendtrooper ,

Ah, I have the aspire a315-56. Mint was pretty painless for me after the RST issue. I didn’t have to worry about wifi/bluetooth/touchpad drivers at all. Right out of the box its been smooth (for linux) for me.

I’m honestly surprised the us govt hasn’t developed their own pos locked downed Linux os.

AI is going to replace my sheets, that should be changed once a week to maintain a high level of hygiene.

northendtrooper ,

Hope FTC does something before this deadline hits.

northendtrooper ,

So whats to say with the machines that cant update to win 11? They just become ewaste?

northendtrooper ,

Can’t they trace it back to you since you’re using a card to get that prompt?

IIRC daylight savings was created way back when electricity really didn’t exist so it allowed the farmers more daylight to harvest their crops.

Now with that said there is more technology in today’s farming equipment so DST shouldn’t really exist anymore.

1994 Oldsmobile cutlass supreme. Gutless and with that horrible 4 speed automatic gave my murderous thoughts. Oh and that god awful rear suspension.

northendtrooper ,

Oh it was the 4 door of a clown car.

slowly moving myself to revolt.chat.

Its sad since I’ve been with discord since almost '15.

People need to remember that these only apply to high leadership. For us peons it usually is a Golden Shower.

General Motors Quits Sharing Driving Behavior With Data Brokers After Backlash (www.nytimes.com)

The decision followed a New York Times report this month that G.M. had, for years, been sharing data about drivers’ mileage, braking, acceleration and speed with the insurance industry. The drivers were enrolled — some unknowingly, they said — in OnStar Smart Driver, a feature in G.M.’s internet-connected cars that...

They’re only stopping because they got caught. Once the masses move on to the next Pitch Fork event, they’ll start it back up again.

An excerpt from the article:

In October 2002, Chechen militants took about 800 people hostage at a Moscow theater. Two days later, Russian special forces stormed the building and 129 hostages and 41 Chechen fighters died, most of them from effects of narcotic gas Russian forces use to subdue the attackers.

One of my fears of starting up my homelab.

northendtrooper ,

I hope to see some serious studies on a multitude of categories from average health of a Paris citizen and traffic collisions/deaths.

northendtrooper ,

McDonald corporation and their franchises are two separate entities. The corporation makes money no matter what. Its the franchises who suffer.

and Water! Don’t forget the water!

If anyone asks if they should try the game, imagine playing the Last of US in a high fantasy world. Great stories to be found around the world.

northendtrooper ,

Crazy that after all this time we can still communicate with Voyager 1. Even though it is babbling back now.

northendtrooper ,

Oh look, another CEO not in touch with reality trying to gaslight the general public.

northendtrooper ,

When will punishment stop being attached to a hard number and be a percentage of the company’s worth. Shits maddening.

northendtrooper ,

If the user resides in Europe then yeah. This means they didn’t follow GDPR and still retain data on user(s).

northendtrooper ,

And Its only to get worse as more of the public is aware.

northendtrooper ,

I honest hope, down to my core, that Larian becomes as big as Rockstar Games or Blizzard without all the ‘We need to keep growing’ BS for stockholders. Just make great games and the fandom will follow for years.

northendtrooper ,

If you’re a fan of Starship Troopers, both the movie and game, then I would highly recommend this game. There is great replay-ability of the game.

Looking like Seagate gonna be my next purchase for my NAS.

Ukraine’s new army chief says his immediate goals are better troop rotation and high-tech weapons (apnews.com)

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine’s new military chief said Friday that his immediate goals are to improve the rotation of troops at the front lines and harness the power of new technology, at a time when Kyiv’s forces are largely on the defensive in the war with Russia....

I hope Oleksandr can now take a much needed break. I can’t fathom that amount of stress.

northendtrooper ,

Yeah I bet if they re-released it with better hardware, no one would bat an eye compared to the initial release. Hell I would go as far as to say people would buy it just to have Bard AI integrated into it. Because people are people and people buy things.
