That makes supermax somewhat appealing. Mixed messages.

Sure, just depends on the business. Self-employed and small business are often much more flexible. I pretty much work 9:30 to 4:30.
It's almost like cars and crowded beaches don't mix.
I subscribed to Game Pass for a year or so. It was a good value but it got to the point where there were just too many games and not enough time to play them. I kept subscribing for the $1 per month trick, but once that ended I canceled.
When Manor Lords came out in early access I found a good deal for a month of Game Pass, that just expired.
Or like so many other businesses, they don't have anyone looking at the postings and just accept whatever until someone objects.
Power companies say it's too expensive to bury power lines but they will fix the overhead lines over and over.
Not that I know of. Let smaller automakers make EVs and we might get something like that.
But with the federal government mandating that all cars must have automatic braking after a certain date in the future I guess we're never going to get away from tons of sensors and computers in cars.
If nobody paid any attention to him we could just passive aggressively get through the next 4 years.
This is the sort of thing where the EU would get some cooperation from the Biden administration, but none from a Trump administration.
Yes to add to that some cable companies were literally writing the state laws.
Still tricky if you run a public facing site, there are constant crawlers and bots and any of those could be feeding AI.
Hate to say it but almost everyone has a number. Hopefully Valve's number is more than anyone would offer.
Same, I think my number would have been low because IIRC I was using ICQ with Trumpet Winsock on Windows 3.1.
That used to scare the crap out of me when I had the volume up and wasn't expecting a message!
Yeah the whole channel is legit, they do some neat stuff and aren't afraid to show the screwups.
Google Search had ONE JOB and that is to show web links.
A report shows that while the industry is growing, its biggest competition is Fortnite, GTA, Call of Duty, and Roblox
This data will probably only lead to more live service games. :|
In what appears to be the first criminal case of its kind, two teenage boys were charged under a 2022 Florida law for allegedly creating AI-generated images depicting middle school classmates.
This is strange to me. Did the students create the deepfake nudes or did software create those nudes? A normal image editor program won't just create explicit material on its own, the user has to do it with a mouse/tablet/whatever. But AI algorithms will. Even if the kids were giving the instructions to AI, why isn't the software and/or the company that runs it at least somewhat liable for creating child porn?
Suppose the students drew the nudes themselves, but they were really bad stick figure drawings with a name beside them to say who it's supposed to be? Is that illegal? What if they were really good artists and the drawing looked like a photo? At what point is the art considered good enough to be illegal?
Ukraine’s fearless and expert EV mechanics bring electric vehicles declared unfixable in the US and Canada back to life on the other side of the world.
The Ukranian guy in this article didn't like spending $400 a month on fuel for his Jeep. So he spent $53,000 getting a wrecked Tesla imported and fixed, so he could pay about $50 a month to charge the Tesla.
Now he just has to drive the Tesla for 12 years to break even on fuel costs. Good move. :|
Valet parking seems to be getting more common at some city locations that don't have a good parking situation.
How do you feel about valet parking? Doesn't bother you in the least, will do it if you have to, will never do it, something else?
Personally I don't like some random person driving my car.
I've never smoked, but I've been around people that do. What do people feel during/after smoking? It doesn't seem to make people high or hallucinate or anything. It maybe mildly relaxes them?
I've been getting diverted on sidequests, capturing ships, and exploration too much.
But I really don't want to do the Constellation questline yet, I've seen some spoilers and I'm not ready for that . I'm thinking of concentrating on the UC Vanguard or Freestar Collective questlines. Can I complete those without interfering with the Constellation questline?
Just went through a Starfield experience that sort of awed me. Wanted to capture some pirate ships, I took a mission from Freestar Rangers mission terminal to destroy a "Crimson Fleet Captain." I thought it was a person, but that's the name of a ship.
Engaged the ship, battle was fairly easy, took out their engines with EM weapons and boarded the ship. I was immediately blown away by how big and full of stuff the ship was. I've got a couple class B ships, but this one was probably 5 times the size of my Aegis. There were rooms after rooms, a few big open areas, several kitchens and sitting areas, a medical bay, storerooms, weapon rooms, armor mannequins, and a medium size trek-like bridge. The ship had at least 3 levels, and had probably 10-15 pirates to fight. Got to the captain's chair and was able to sit in it because I had leveled up my pilot skill enough. The ship was mine! I did this sort of thing last week with a smaller but impressive ship, but wasn't able to sit in the chair because my pilot skill was too low, so I had to abandon it.
All the time I was fighting my way through the ship I was saying "oh my god" to myself as I saw how much bigger this ship was than the ones I was used to.
For all it's shortcomings Starfield really nailed the ships, they are very unique and even compare very favorably to ships from Space Engineers, Empyrion, and Elite Dangerous. Elite Dangerous ships might give them some design competition but you can't walk around in them IIRC.
ETA: The ship is apparently originally a Crossbow III, it's not all that huge but compared to the starter ship it's massive: https://inara.cz/starfield/ship/1984/
The Biden administration has changed its mind about a Massachusetts state law giving mechanics and car owners access to more diagnostic data.
>Car manufacturers could comply with the law “by using short-range wireless protocols, such as via Bluetooth,” to give owners or independent shops authorized by owners access to the information they need to diagnose issues with and repair vehicles, the letter says.
Hopefully no manufacturers are allowing changes to the vehicle wirelessly. It should be read-only.
Breakthrough raises hopes that musicality of natural speech can be restored in patients with disabling neurological conditions
Sound clip is pretty creepy.
Like ants nesting on a river bank, some only live a few days. A colony could live for many ant generations on a riverbank but when a big flood comes their entire world is wiped out.
