How can any world government still uphold “Israel’s need to defend itself” at this point?

Hey valve, so, Uhr… Funny thing… I’m actually… Uh
… kinda dead

Well, if you’re stupid enough to tell valve about the death that is

Well, that’s why raw or flash pasteurized milk is almost impossible to get into supermarkets here in Germany. The regulations are crazy, if it’s possible at all.

They have me by the wallpapers!

Am I the only one who finds it super annoying, that “detection through sound waves” (Sonar) does video things while “detection through light” (lidar) does the sound things?

WHY?! Swap names already! It’s driving me nuts!

Close as “won’t fix”. Easy. That’s what their customer service does to your ticket, too, if it’s too much to handle, so…

Two things:

1. Do we know if fuels the urge to get real children? Or do we just assume that through repetition like the myth of “gateway drugs”?
2. Since no child was involved and harmed in the making of these images… On what grounds could it be forbidden to generate them?

I got the impression that “removing” means removing before it was really implemented. Like, it was planned and decided upon, but it wasn’t ready. He checked the license and went “nope, not having it” and scrapped the feature. It doesn’t truly become clear in the text, of course, but that’s how I read this.

luckily, most games are easily modded: Just put a 1-2 frames black video file where the brand logos used to be. Done.

oh, it was the racing game? I must have gone through the text too quickly then. Yet, if we’re pragmatic: How many people would have really enjoyed that game (which wasn’t stellar to begin with) more with properly encoded surround sound, and how many would have enjoyed it a tad less because of the annoying logo spam on startup? I don’t think Surround-Sound-enjoyers were the target audience for that one.

You need to toake into account that we’re talking about a Kirby game here, which are all 2/2.5/sometimes 3D platformers. So The real effect of Dolby in such a thing would have been close to zero.

Publishers will like a database because it can be modified. If they were forced to implement such a system (thus abandoning all ‘sell the same game to the same person twice’ for different platforms), they’d oppose a blockchain system hard, since it would make it pricier to:

a) publish seven bazillion versions of any given game
b) revoke ownership of games just because it’s cheaper to do that than honor the deal they made with customers
c) correct any data-fuckups they will inevitably make because they went for the cheapest route possible to implement this, and it went pear-shaped from day 3 onwards

I’m very much on the database-side here as well. I work for a Telco company here in Germany, and we use several such databases that are regulated by external bodies and government agencies to communicate between carriers (for number porting and such). Works great overall.

Our weekly “miracle battery that can <insert absurdly high claim here>” give us today.

You can make your speakers go BRRRRRRRRR via Home Assistant with it

Can we talk less about AI inevitably doing what AI always dies and fuck up and instead talk about the website that uses AI resources to dangle an even more juicy carrot in front of desperate people throwing away their money with the lottery?

Now take an LED light that has the exact opposite frequency to your local power grid and hold it onto the sensor. The night light won’t know what hit it!

s.th. is not the yellow from the egg: It’s not the best
I only understand train station: I did not understand anything
Now we have the salad: Now we’re screwed
now it’s about the sausage: Things have gotten serious
So is carved from another (kind of) wood: So is more capable

This 1000 years thing is how (at least on paper) the main components of the medium can chemically stay intact and bonded together. You want this as stable as possible since more stability means more resistance to outside forces like moisture and such. Most discs suffering from disc rot today had a number between 5 years (baaaaad) and 200 years (still not great) and are decaying now.

So don’t take things like this too literally.
