I just add 1 to the number at the end of my password every time they force a change.

I’m on 18 right now.

They’re trying to argue that an EULA isn’t binding because they can’t sign away their rights, and thats legally incorrect in this case.

Recognizing reality is different than endorsing it.

And that’s the one we can refuse to buy.

But let’s be honest - people won’t. They’ll buy it in record numbers - just not on Linux.

What rights?

You’re buying a license to play a game. Rockstar is not obligated to ensure it’s available to you indefinitely.

They implemented this 10 years after the game’s release. It’s harder to vote with your wallet at that point.

The bones of the story beats leading to that moment were so good, but ruined by terrible dialog along the way.

There’s one critical issue with Teams that’s about to result in it being banned for government work.

You can’t save logs.

My small city just changed domains and went to 365 Government. As part of the process we had to migrate all our accounts and create new ones, and we lost all of our Teams history because there’s no way to save the logs.

Now if someone asks for chat history as part of an Open Records Request or as discovery in a lawsuit, we can’t provide them. Other government bodies are starting to realize this and everyone’s about to start getting “don’t use Teams” memos from the lawyers.

No.

But, depending on some specifics, if crap is left on the land long enough without CAH filing a lawsuit, SpaceX may be able to take ownership of the land!

Adverse possession is weird, and is why whenever someone tries to do something on your land you either get a contract laying out the terms of use or you sue them.

And never, ever, ever let your neighbor build a fence that crosses the property line.

If Google takes money to host an ad that’s malware, they should be able to be prosecuted for it.

This is different than simply hosting community content that they can’t reasonably moderate. They’re being given money to distribute these ads, so they can afford to moderate them.

Which should be easy anyway. Ads shouldn’t be able to install third-party shit from the advertisers on user computers. Google can easily restrict what can be included on an ad package.

If you have reason to believe someone is in mortal danger, your response shouldn’t be to mail a letter giving them 30 days to respond.

You send police to the scene where they secure the potential suspect and make sure there’s nothing going on.

It’s the only EV pickup than can be reliably charged right now. The one truly remarkable, excellent thing Tesla has done is put together an awesome, connected charging network. We’ve had a plug-in hybrid Ford for a decade, and the vast majority of compatible chargers we’ve run across have been broken.

With the other big manufacturers changing to the Tesla plug in the coming years, I expect things like the F-150 Lightning to perform much better.

PS3 is the trickiest. They had that weird Cell architecture which is more difficult to emulate than simply “less-powerful x86” emulation required for more-recent consoles.

Last time I got pretty deep in, but it became impossible when the chess notation rule required Cs and Ds, making it impossible to stay below the roman numberal sum limit.

Was that the first one that had M Bison as a playable character?

Yeah. I’ve noticed the new generation coming into the workplace can’t do shit on a computer.

They’ve grown up on apps that have simple interfaces and limited options. Give them the freedom and power of a workstation and you’ll find they never learned to learn real software.

I top-mounted it to my A1-mini and it does just fine. I’d imagine the full A1 should be alright.

To help fight bot disinformation, I think there needs to be an international treaty that requires all AI models/bots to disclose themselves as AI when prompted using a set keyphrase in every language, and that API access to the model be contingent on paying regain tests of the phrase (to keep bad actors from simply filtering out that phrase in their requests to the API).

It wouldn’t stop the nation-state level bad actors, but it would help prevent people without access to their own private LLMs from being able to use them as effectively for disinformation.

I wish I could remember the name of an extension I had on my old computer.

It hid all ads, but also clicked them all in the background. It accomplished 4 goals:

1. I didn’t see the ads
2. The websites I visited made more money through the clicks
3. It cost the advertisers money
4. It made the cost/benefit worse for advertisers since they were paying for clicks without anyone being influenced by the ads

“You commie liberals better keep your government hands off my Medicare!”

This is one of the annoying things about all the California people moving to Texas.

They have contributed to an absolutely massive spike in home prices, and despite the complaints of all the “California liberals” moving here, in my experience it’s mostly conservatives who are attracted to the Texas GOP’s insanity, so they’re shifting things further to the right.
