at least, not with my 1080p monitors, which I prefer over higher-res ones
Blasphemy!
4k monitors are beautiful for normal desktop usage, making text crisp and clean with smooth curves and none of that blockiness that comes from low resolution, and with modern scaling settings you can even have 4K text and 1080p graphics at the same time with the same performance as native 1080p.
If you still have your job, you can start on Factorio mods.
My point is that gaming could abandon “A/B” in favor of something more like an actual spectrum of Height, Weight, and Gender Presentation instead of just awkwardly renaming the binary? I wouldn’t get so up in arms about gender replacing body type.
Okay, but an in-depth character creation system that lets you pick and adjust individual features is a lot more work than just manually creating two models and asking the player to pick one. Adding that means something else gets cut.
Putting in half a dozen body types and a boob slider shouldn’t be a ton of work, but devs who only offer two player models to choose from in the first place probably aren’t putting that much thought into character creation.
That’s kind of why I switched. I was spending time and effort trying to force Windows to obey, I decided I might as well spend that time on an OS that wasn’t actively fighting against me.
So after it’s done you can adjust it’s cooking time, but instead of a cook time knob that you turn they try to pretend it’s AI?
The great thing about using AI to search for aliens is that it’ll find them, whether there’s any out there or not.
I don’t even have the software for my mouse installed. I think she’s massively overestimating the value of mouse software updates.
She’s just trying to figure out how to make renting cheap peripherals make sense so that you can keep paying Logitech forever.
Sure, but you couldn’t analyse an individual’s purchasing behaviour over time and show just that person ads for baby clothes because you think they got pregnant.
We didn’t used to have tracking, you know? You used to just put up a billboard or put an ad in the newspaper and you just hoped it’d lead to new customers.
It’s a bit weird that the advertising people implemented fine gained tracking without asking anyone and now we’re just expected to pretend there’s no other way for advertising to work.
This. If you ask an image generator for a bed in the shape of a pineapple, it probably has no pineapple-shaped beds in its training data but it has pineapples and beds and can mash the concepts together.
Since anyone can download and train their own AI, that ship has probably sailed.
My mom says my disk is big enough.
Because grabbing a random prefix from the pool is easier than remembering which prefix is assigned to which subscriber account and keeping it static through ISP network changes.
My ISP does ‘sticky’ prefixes, which means they change when they move users between BNGs but otherwise don’t.
Ah, that makes sense.
What? Oh, this pitchfork? I was just, uh, putting it away.
Praise be to the mighty algorithm.
Once or twice I’ve gone and found another source for the download, copied it into my torrents folder, forced my torrent client to re-scan the file and started seeding it.
Watching a thousand other clients tick over from 99% to ‘seeding’ is weirdly gratifying.
There doesn't need to be a value return - if it's fun. Unfortunately, it seems designed specifically to be brand safe for future advertising instead of appealing to real people.
Sponsors are the biggest argument for not getting YouTube Premium, in my opinion.
You spend money on YouTube Premium and still have a bunch of ads, so you need to use sponsorblock, and if you're using that just use an ad blocker too.
And the more ads they show, the more people install adblockers.
Why won’t the government just give them the money and trust that they’ll do what they said? It worked out great paying companies to roll out fiber years ago, that’s why we’re all on reliable, high speed fiber internet today.
