Well now he has Internet so he can download Factorio and he’ll never go outside again.

You turn on parts of the grid at a time.

I loved the way people were calling it the X Bone from halfway through the release announcement.

You and the rest of the internet, that’s why they shut down that Discord server.

In my experience, badly.

Mmm. The source I found probably got megabytes and megabits mixed up. Cartridges often seemed to have their capacity listed in megabits for some reason.

IIRC the reason Luigi isn’t in Mario 64 is that they couldn’t afford the extra few kilobytes that would take.

It’s not like they wanted parts of the game to be empty, cartridges were tiny. Mario 64 had a one megabyte cartridge. They had to cut things to the bone to manage to fit the game on that.

As the owner of a non-Tesla EV, it’s pretty great. And not paying weekly tribute to some fuck in the Middle East is also nice.

I can’t give that up, it’s my emotional support truck.

If you ask an AI image generator for a bed shaped like a pineapple, it’ll give you one without having a single pineapple-shaped bed in the training data. It has beds and pineapples and it can mash the two together.

If you’ve got naked adults in the training data and you’ve got children in the training data, it’s going to be able to generate child porn.

I suspect the stuff Firefox stores in ram is more sensitive, too. A lot of games load tens of gigabytes of textures, but a bitflip in that stuff will lead to a pixel somewhere being the wrong colour instead of a crash.

I actually did switch my gaming PC to Linux because I decided it was going to be less effort than trying to force Windows to obey.

It was the way Microsoft was progressively disabling workarounds that was the final straw. As soon as a way to disable telemetry or something became widespread, it wouldn’t work any more with the next update and you needed to find new methods.

Linux just does as it’s fucking told.

I mean, we have some far right nuts. The thing is, the Venn diagram of far right nuts and people who might buy an EV is just two circles.

Yeah, the point where companies don’t want to run those services at a loss any more is going to be interesting.

The issue isn’t the ‘never stop working’ part, that sucks but isn’t illegal. It’s the ‘stop paying but don’t stop working’ part that’s a problem.

Breaks might not be required, but you still aren’t allowed to take a break from paying an employee while still making them work.

Apparently there’s also AI generated guidebooks, which look completely legitimate but are actually random nonsense.
