A brain that needs to be tricked into falling asleep half the time

Usually it’s not even negative thoughts or anything like that, it’s just busy problem solving

Like if they’ve even got a single braincell, why would someone so obviously tell on themselves like this

Truly baffling

I say this as someone with an apple laptop:

You don’t buy Apple unless you want to commit to paying over double for accessories.

If you buy an Apple product you’re opting in to being fleeced by them for any related purchases.

It’s a premium brand at the end of the day, there are always more economical options

Yeah it’s not a particularly obscure character in some languages, so it’s not really going to affect an LLM at all, it’ll already know what to do with them. Hell you could write in MSN era fancy text using characters incorrectly and I’d not be surprised if an LLM had no issue decoding it.

Heart’s kinda in the right place, but the only outcome is going to be confusion and frustration from humans.

Edit: was curious about the assertion I made about MSN text

Seemingly no trouble

I think it’s mostly because these Devs were impacted by an actual mistake from valve recently, and then this happens during their apparent compensation for this.

Tbf though I agree this article is mostly about clicks. They say the emails went out and they sold 5k copies, so it’s not like the first time

I’ve been playing N64 games just fine on my MiSTer FPGA for like a year or so now.

I can even use my Retrode 2 to use a real cart if I want rather than my network share with a complete 1g1r set for the platform.

I know they’re a “it just works” solution, but I just don’t see the value in the Analogue stuff compared to MiSTer if you’re even remotely techy

You get hardware emulation of almost everything from before the dreamcast for about the same price as this single console

Unfortunately there’s a criminal in charge of the US

That feels like it should be very illegal

Cloudflare is increasingly a SPOF for the web

It’s hilariously probably at the point where it’s beneficial for them from a PR perspective to recommend alternatives to new customers now

That’s not the same unless something has recently changed. The scheduling just stops it from scheduling them during the day, it doesn’t make sure everything downloads in a single night.

And even then, that’s not a “do all it right now” button

Now it would be nice if they could add a download all updates button (if only for Steamdeck)

Going into that download screen and telling 20 games to download now before I’m going on a flight or something is a pain in the arse

If Ryanair doesn’t like what you’re doing, you’re on the right path

Tarantino & Nolan already got shouts in the thread, so:

John Carpenter for some of the best practical effects in cinema history

You’ve also got the likes of Stanley Kubrick & David Lynch, of course

Talking of Davids, David Fincher feels like he has enough good to make the list

I feel like you could go on a great journey through 80s-00s cinema with films having either Bill Murray or Arnold Schwarzenegger in the cast

There’s probably a lot I’m forgetting

6ish, I’d like 8 but I can’t really fall asleep until after midnight unless I’m truly exhausted, then work means I usually need to be up around 7ish

I’m in a middle-terrace house with relatively modern windows and insulation, so I’m lucky that there’s only really a few places that heat can actually leak out.

Basically all I do is use a draft excluder for the gap under the front door and be selective about opening windows. Then I basically set the thermostat to 19/20 degrees (and the timer on the boiler set to stop it coming on overnight) and that keeps things warm enough without the heating needing to come on for that long during the day. Obviously in the middle of winter it needs to come on a bit longer, but those would be the days I’d be using the heating whatever approach I went for.

Weirdly I half do it for the house plants, I can always throw a jumper on to a point, but I’ve got a few plants that really don’t seem to like the cold. Might as well make it comfortable for all of us if my house doesn’t cost a bomb to keep at a good level.

Not necessary preppers as that is someone who’s motivation is to mitigate some hypothetical future bad thing happening

I think most self-hosters are doing it out of a combination of technical exploration and mitigating real issues that exist today, e.g. cloud service outages or market exits causing something previously bought to be useful to become a temporary brick or permanent e-waste. Well, and cost in some cases, no one particularly enjoys having an extra bill for hosting.

Of course the, now owned by the daily mail group, i uses a sensationalist headline to imply that the ID will be required for this

Rather than another option for people who have to carry a physical ID for age check purposes already

For anyone that’s not twigged it yet

They’re already turning this into another culture war to ensure they can continue to enrich the establishment.

The petrochemical industry has a lot of money to burn on propaganda if it’s facing an existential threat.

Remember this when you read anything other than “we should be decarbonising as quickly as possible”

The best thing for everyone (in basically every possible way) except petrochemical shareholders is heavy investment in renewable technology and the ending of petrochemical subsidies.

I wonder if it’s like those scam emails that deliberately have mistakes so that morons end up self selecting as anyone with their head screwed on sees the obvious scam

… OTOH that’s a level of intellect that would be surprising from a Tory

Worm even when dead

Get in the sea
