I used to have this really awesome early 2000’s transparent blue plastic keyboard with all the newest media keys. The only problem was that it had 4 windows keys on it! One on either side of the spacebar. The right side of the spacebar was Alt, Windows, Context menu, CTRL. That was a bit weird but it was alright. The next placements were crazy though. Someone figured there was space for more keys right below the Delete, End and Page Down keys but I guess they couldn’t really figure out what would be best for there so they put a 3rd Windows key, a 2nd Context Menu and then a 4th Windows key right there. This was pretty close to the arrow keys and if anyone remembers gaming in the early 2000’s, pressing the windows key accidentlly would often just crash your game completely. If you could get back into it, it could take quite a while for it to respond again. So if you were playing something like Warcraft 2 multiplayer, that button was a fucking nightmare.

Ugh, I loved the colour of that keyboard so much I put up with all those windows keys.

edit: I can’t believe I found it! I’ve tried searching for this keyboard a few times, but finally found proof on this site!

Well it’s not like they paid you to display their logo. I think you’re just fiscally responsible and more people should do that.

Good early Ryan Reynolds movie.

Specifically, the patent describes a situation where:

• A console or other system is being used to run a video game from storage
• The player controls a character in a “virtual space”
• The player can perform an input command to make a “sub character” appear (i.e. summon another character)
• If there’s an enemy where the sub character appears, the player can control a battle between the sub character and the enemy
• If there’s no enemy where the sub character appears, the sub character will automatically move around
• The player can move the sub character to a different location on the field, and if an enemy is there they can control a battle between the sub character and the enemy

AI is not capable of doing wrong or evil. It is a tool; as a hammer or a notepad is.

A tool does exactly what you do with it. A hammer can pound nails or break skulls but it’s always the person behind the tool who causes the action. Generative AI is not like that at all. If it’s a tool, you aren’t necessarily able to control what it does under your direction.

Do you want to have 0 total dissolved solids? A lot of minerals in your drinking supply can be a good thing.

Very cool link though, thanks!

Oh, it’s Road Redemption being given away. I bought this on steam a few years ago. Pretty good game, but never quite managed to capture the magic of Road Rash. Maybe it’s just nostalgia talking though.

I wish I’d done that. I deleted my 12 year old account right before learning about these tools.

Holy shit. How does this not just reduce their sales to 0?

I’ve been using the Logitech MX Master 3 mouse for a while now and the software has been alright. Lets me use my mouse across my desktop and laptop at the same time. It’s been alright, but I go to check out my button mapping settings recently and saw “AI prompt builder” and sighed at how stupid that is. I really really want hope the adding of AI to everything is a fad like Pogs, but I somehow doubt it.

Please don’t be Logitech, please don’t be Logitech…

Damnit.

Haha, I hope it was a drooler!

I hear Piefed has the cross posting intelligence. It’s hard to tell when using it though because… Well hard to notice a fix like that. I using it on my PC but haven’t found a good android app yet.

Careful there buddy. The US hasn’t legalized it, only certain states have. That means you can’t travel around with it in the US even if you bought it legally.

Canada legalized it though.

A Thai restaurant I go to has this amazing matsaman curry dish with jasmine rice. Just an unbelievable taste that I order on many special occasions like my birthday.

Another amazing dish actually came from Hello Fresh. It’s a bibimbap style rice bowl made with beyond meat and the flavour profile just hits everything I love. Nice and salty but also nice and spicy. I could eat this all day every day. It was one of the recipes offered the first week we tried Hello Fresh and I thought their recipes must be amazing, but nothing else ever compared to this.

Doesn’t matter to the suits, but it matters to the people who actually create the content.
